      <title>Warframe, The Grind, and CS:GO</title>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[We have had a lot of people start to get burned out from playing Warframe and grinding all the time.<div>The game is very grindy at the moment, but the developers are addressing this issue (Resource Alerts, Buying resources with Credits, More diversity in Dojo, Adjusting Dojo prices, etc) so if you guys can just hold on until the fixes come in, that would be great :)</div><div><br></div><div>Otherwise, we are still waiting on Warface (A very fun F2P FPS game) to come back online from Closed Beta and many of us own and play CS:GO.</div><div><br></div><div>Pherzt currently bought us a regular CS:GO server to add to our Zombie server which we will be setting up shortly. If you have the game, add some players on steam and ask if anyone wants to hop online. Many times people will join others on CS:GO. It is a great game that is well balanced and even has matchmaking to keep it fair. It definitely helps with keeping everything fresh from the grind Warframe currently has.</div><div><br></div><div>If anyone has any game suggestions that would seem good to us, feel free to suggest them.</div><div>Other than that, let's keep building the Dojo when we can. Even if we can do a group or two a day doing some sort of material runs, it will all help at the end. </div><div><br></div><div>Finally, I have "resumed" so to speak actively trying to recruit new members. Lets try to keep the topic up (Link:&nbsp;<a href="https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/57803-need-people-on-higher-level-planets">Topic</a>) and we will carefully go over the new applications. Post and keep a discussion going if you have a chance. Every post helps us out with staying and finding other great members for our family.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for taking your time to read this and sticking with us :)</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Reminder to new members</title>

      <guid>http://www.truepwnography.com/home/article/1487928/m/2383835</guid>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[First off, welcome and hopefully youre enjoying your stay with us :) We're glad to have you in our group, we aim for all of you guys to stay and grow as part of our family. 
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>With that being said, there's a couple of ways you can start.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>1. Introduce yourselves using the website. It's always good to raise activity on the website, but the real point of this is to get to know each other better. Have something you're real passionate about? Post it! Have some habits/hobby's you want To share? Others might have the same thing.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Introducing yourself on the forums allows us to know each other in ways we might not talk about while gaming. It never hurts and can only get you more friends :)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The topic, if you wish to do so:&nbsp;<A title=test href="http://www.truepwnography.com/forum/m/2383836/viewthread/1248786-who-are-you" target=test>http://www.truepwnography.com/forum/m/2383836/viewthread/1248786-who-are-you</A></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>2. We have a gallery of different things. Anything ranging from our cars, to weird/funny in game pictures, ourselves, the food we make, etc. Feel free to add to it. Don't be afraid to post yourself as well, we wont judge too much :P</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>3. Use the forums. Whether you have a new idea, a suggestion, a special competition or event youd like to try or maybe just some help. Forums are always here, they are a good way to communicate with everyone, not just the people online at that Time.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>4. &nbsp;We have different channels in Raidcall for the games we play. I noticed there's people who don't enjoy overly crowded rooms (Me being one of them.)</DIV>
<DIV>Don't be afraid of asking the people your partying with to move in a seperate channel. There's nothing wrong with it and most of the time people will agree to it.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Just some general hints if your just coming in.&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Remember, were all here to have a good time during our free time. Getting along with each other, learning things about others and generally being able to talk more then just about the game session your in will achieve that goal :) Be friendly and active in the community to not only help improve it for everyone else and make it interesting, But for yourself as well.</DIV>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Congrats&nbsp;everyone, Warface is&nbsp;definitely&nbsp;our new main game from the two or more weeks we have been playing it! I have got a lot of great responses from members in RC/Forums about this game. If people&nbsp;think it will not run on your system because it's using the "Crytek" engine, trust me, it will support your system.. They were focusing for the lower end systems and have pretty much optimized the game very well.<div><br></div><div>We already had 5 scrims and won 4 of them! Congratulations to those who participated on the scrims and glad you guys enjoyed it! If anyone missed how to sign up and download this game, go here:&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.warface.com/en/">http://www.warface.com/en/</a></div><div><br></div><div>A way to get invited quicker is by posting on their Facebook:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.facebook.com/warface">http://www.facebook.com/warface</a></div><div><br></div><div>Counter-Strike Global Offensive is also supported. We will be having one server for the NA and EU so there will be no latency issue. Remember for the people who own this game, please be seriously&nbsp;playing this game because I don't wan't the person who will be paying the server for us go to waste.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>What do I&nbsp;mean by serious? Stay active and recruiting!</div><div><br></div><div>Warframe will also be supported, it will be free to download on Steam soon, where they will be releasing a big patch for this game. In the mean time you can download the game here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://warframe.com/">https://warframe.com/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Most of us are waiting for the big patch coming&nbsp;soon in a week or so. As for "War Inc.", we are no longer&nbsp;supporting&nbsp;it, as I said there will be no admin for it.&nbsp;</div><div><br>Recruiting&nbsp;is a big must to stay active! Thread of recruiting will soon be up. How we get so many quality/mature recruits for War Inc in the past we will tell you how and soon we will be rolling again.</div><div><br></div><div>Update: Here is the&nbsp;recruiting thread:&nbsp;</div><div><a href="http://www.truepwnography.com/forum/m/2383836/viewthread/6367065-recruiting">http://www.truepwnography.com/forum/m/2383836/viewthread/6367065-recruiting&nbsp;</a></div><div><br></div><div>I also want to say welcome to our new test members and hopefully you guys are having fun with us all!</div><div><br></div><div>Thank's everyone for your support we are heading the right direction!</div><div><br></div><div>Remember, the most important thing is to have fun!</div><div><br></div><div>Newbie!</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Thank's everyone for your opinions on this thread I am very&nbsp;appreciated:&nbsp;<div><a href="http://www.truepwnography.com/forum/page/1/m/2383836/viewthread/6075278-clan-decision-important-read">http://www.truepwnography.com/forum/page/1/m/2383836/viewthread/6075278-clan-decision-important-read</a></div><div><br></div><div>If you haven't read the thread please do we will be waiting for more opinions to still make our decision.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Warface</span></div><div><br></div><div>So far Warface (F2P) might be our new main game and we will soon be removing War Inc. from our clan. When I say removing we won't support it and there will be <span style="font-weight: bold;">no admin</span> for it. One problem for Warface is waiting for the beta key but I heard two people already got it in less than a week. So hopefully many of you get it soon. Everyone to apply for the Warface beta:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.warface.com/en/#!game">www.warface.com/en/#!game</a></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Counter-Strike: Global Offensive</span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br></span></div><div>Also CS:GO was the other&nbsp;decision that we made so far.&nbsp;We might be putting a server up for CS:GO if everyone is seriously want to play this game and willing to&nbsp;recruit new players. Thank's to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kingpinn</span> willing to pay for the server for us, so if you see him around don't forget to say thank's. The server will be at New York so NA and EU can play together with no latency issue.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>As for the other&nbsp;countries we will not be having another server for us at this time. If anyone else is willing to pay another server for us just PM me. For now you will just play with the server that Kingpinn will be providing soon or play servers that are close to you and we will make sure you will have the PWN tag beside your name.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Warframe</span></div><div><br></div><div>I need more opinions on Warframe, do you still want to support it? [Poll]</div><div><a href="http://www.truepwnography.com/forum/post/last/m/2383836/viewthread/6159443-should-we-still-support-warframe#last">www.truepwnography.com/forum/post/last/m/2383836/viewthread/6159443-should-we-still-support-warframe#last</a></div><div><br></div><div>Now we are heading the right direction thank's everyone for your support. As I said we will wait for more opinions on this thread here (Please talk to the people you meet on RC and send them this thread):&nbsp;<a href="http://www.truepwnography.com/forum/page/1/m/2383836/viewthread/6075278-clan-decision-important-read">http://www.truepwnography.com/forum/page/1/m/2383836/viewthread/6075278-clan-decision-important-read</a></div><div><br></div><div>When we get our games all sorted out we will be focusing on <span style="font-weight: bold;">recruiting</span>, that is our main goal for this clan to stay very active. I will be making a sticky thread of how to recruit and what questions you should ask and what you should not ask in the late future. As for DayZ standalone we will support it we will just have to wait on more news about when the game is released for us to play.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank's, remember is always to have fun!</div><div><br></div><div>Newbie!</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[We need to move on and decide which fits for us.&nbsp;Obviously&nbsp;there isn't any activity going on and we will change that by having a clan decision. New members who just signed in we are sorry for this but we will be active as ever once before. I know many of us have college (my self), work, helping family members, and so on which only you will be on your PC for 1 hour or 2. That is fine we all cant be in one place but if you have the time to read it please so.<div><br></div><div>Please read this thread:</div><div><a href="http://www.truepwnography.com/forum/post/last/m/2383836/viewthread/6075278-clan-decision-important-read#last">www.truepwnography.com/forum/post/last/m/2383836/viewthread/6075278-clan-decision-important-read#last</a></div><div><br></div><div>Please read carefully and please you must post your&nbsp;opinion&nbsp;on the thread this is "CLAN" decision we need allot of opinions as possible so we can once be an active community like we've once before.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Thank's Newbie!</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[So it seems we are down to 2 games from the previous list. Those games are "Warframe" and "CS:GO"<div><br></div><div>- Ghost Recon: Online will not work for us at this time because EU players are forced to play on a&nbsp;separate&nbsp;server from the US players. If they decide to change this then we can explore this option, but it isn't a good idea to split up our members like this. With the internet of today, most players have good enough ping for international play without much (If any) problems. We've been doing it for years and it was just fine :)</div><div><br></div><div>- Arctic Combat will be out as well until the developers find out what broke the registry and implement it again. I still feel this game has huge potential (Combat Arms potential, without the amount of hackers) so it's on my "Wait and see" but I will be coming back to this game later when the above problem is fixed.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll still be on Arctic Combat from time to time so if you play, I'll get on with you :) But my main game is now Warframe. If you haven't tried the game yet, we have members with keys so don't be afraid to ask.</div><div><br></div><div>CS:GO is obviously officially supported, but we will need to get the server back up. Warframe is the new game in town, but its a really good one and is doing quite well with our members.</div><div><br></div><div>Hopefully you guys try out the two games and continue staying active :)</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Ok so I'm going to make a quick post about our current "Options" and what we can play/do to keep the clan a bit more active then it is now. We are not picking a "Main" game from this, I just want to pickup a side game for us that will hold us over until the great games of 2013 get released.<div><br></div><div>Don't be afraid to try new things :)<br><div><br></div><div>- <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">CS:GO</span></div><div><br></div><div>Many of our members have the game bought already. (Its cheap anyway, $15)</div><div>The problem is that many of those players are new, and give up too fast/give up wanting to play.</div><div><br></div><div>If you have the game and some free time, my suggestion is go on Raidcall, ask a couple of members that own the game if they want to hop on, and just play. You will get better by just playing. Eventually you'll get it and it wont be so frustrating. While you're learning, you can keep activity up in the clan and have fun.</div><div><br></div><div>I have managed to get 5 of us playing at once before and it was very fun. I don't think any of us will mind if someone does bad, as long as you guys get on and actually play. The more you play, the easier it will get.</div><div><br></div><div>- <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">Warframe</span></div><div><br></div><div>Currently in closed beta, and as far as I know only Ruff Touch, Witcher and myself have beta keys for the game. The game is not PvP but Pve, so skill should not matter too much. The game has bosses, a lot of levels to do and is pretty much&nbsp;completely&nbsp;free at this point.</div><div><br></div><div>I have 2 keys to give out. No one has contacted me about one yet, if anyone here wants to try it out with us just ask. The game <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">will</span> require a decent computer, so keep that in mind.</div><div><br></div><div>- <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">Ghost Recon: Online</span></div><div><br></div><div>This game seems to have a bit of support from our members at the moment. I currently do not play it again, but am downloading the game right now. GR:O is a "Third-Person Shooter" with classes and skills set in the future. I'm not sure how balanced they all are but Ubisoft should do a good job managing the balance before release.</div><div><br></div><div>Its currently in Open Beta, free to&nbsp;download&nbsp;for everyone.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">- Arctic Combat</span></div><div><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;"><br></span></div><div>I'm putting this up here because I can see this game work out for everyone in its own way. The game is as "Average" as you can get, nothing too bad, nothing too great. It works, and that's about it. Webzen got the basic&nbsp;fundamentals&nbsp;down.</div><div><br></div><div>It's easy to pick up, it gets much harder when your playing the proper game modes and face skillfull people, clan system is already fully&nbsp;functional, no "pay 2 win" (yet), any computer can run it and its a very small download (1.4 GB on Steam).</div><div><br></div><div>In my opinion, if we can get people playing this game, it would get the game over the 'Average" hump and make it enjoyable. I personally can't stand playing War inc by myself but I always seem to enjoy it with the clan, can't see why this would be any different.</div><div><br></div><div>---------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div><br></div><div>The game I listed can keep us steady until we can find a main game (Warface, Dirty Bomb, etc) and stick to one. Each game I listed offers something different (PvE for Warface, TPS for GR:O, All-Arounder&nbsp;in Arctic Combat, Competitive with CS:GO) and all are supported one way or another already with our members.</div><div><br></div><div>Download one (Or all!) of the games above and give it a shot. We have nothing to lose at this point and a lot to gain if we can find a good side game that's enjoyable.</div></div><div><br></div><div>I'll be on Raidcall all day&nbsp;tomorrow&nbsp;with all 4 games ready to go. If you guys want to play, just tell me. Maybe we can get something going.</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[First of all, if anyone needs to reach me for any reason the best way to do it is:<div><br></div><div>1. PM me on the website</div><div>2. Steam</div><div><br></div><div>I will be on steam almost 24/7.</div><div><br></div><div>Second of all, I was gone for a long time (Again)&nbsp;Every time&nbsp;I disappear its all because something had&nbsp;happened&nbsp;in my life that caused me to stop gaming and forced me to use my free time on&nbsp;something&nbsp;else.</div><div>I'll leave my reason at that, it's behind me now but since I don't have any college diplomas it isn't exactly a "Steady/Guaranteed" life. Won't be until I go to college (Which I might&nbsp;just&nbsp;do 2013). So if I randomly leave again, you can&nbsp;safely&nbsp;assume its for the above reasons.</div><div><br></div><div>Finally, I wanted to do a "Meeting" last Sunday but work came up. Later on, I'll be posting a meeting time for the weekends, look out for it in the next couple of days.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for reading,</div><div>Advanced.</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <title>New Administrators</title>

      <guid>http://www.truepwnography.com/home/article/997707/m/2383835</guid>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Most of you know who they are by now, but that still&nbsp;doesn't&nbsp;mean I&nbsp;don't&nbsp;have to introduce them.<div><br></div><div>Each person selected was selected because they posses admin qualities and will help us recruit and manage our new games better then others. Each admin is responsible for their own&nbsp;divisions&nbsp;now, and it is no longer the job of one admin to&nbsp;control&nbsp;everyone. This should help split the responsibility's and keep the pressure off trying to get to know every single member, especially when you&nbsp;don't&nbsp;belong to the same division or play the same games.</div><div><br></div><div>Each member will now be in a specific division. If you do not have a specific division assigned that means I do not know what game you are going to be maining in. Please PM me in this case and inform me so I can set up your ranks properly.&nbsp;Each&nbsp;Admin is responsible for his (and the members of his) division. So if a Day-Z player breaks any sort of rules or does anything wrong it is only the responsibility of whoever is monitoring Day-Z. Other admins can help out, but the person who should know his&nbsp;members&nbsp;best is the Day-Z admin and it is his job to solve problems concerning his members.</div><div><br></div><div>With that being explained, here are the new admins:</div><div><br></div><div>War Inc Division - Sylva (Global Admin)</div><div><br></div><div>Sylva has joined us to help monitor War Inc. He has been with us for over 9 months at the very least and is currently one of our top players for the game. He has the right personality and mindset on how to handle situations, knows to act&nbsp;neutral&nbsp;towards a disagreement between members, has displayed positive attitude when many others refuse and overall in his time here has done&nbsp;everything&nbsp;he could to keep War Inc in Pwnography headed in the right&nbsp;direction. He was recommended by three admins and we are happy to accept him into the team.</div><div><br></div><div>Day-Z Division - Pracsus (Global Admin)</div><div><br></div><div>With our recent Admin moving away our luck has provided us with a blessing, Pracsus!&nbsp; There was no question in our minds as to whom should take this position over. As Pracsus has always shown us that he is a strong and positive member in our community, a true PWN leader. He has always shown to have a cool head and infectious chuckle to keep the clan happy and involved in the game. We can only expect great things from Pracsus as he has shown us nothing but great things.<br></div><div><br></div><div>CS:GO Division - Ruff Touch (Global Admin)</div><div><br></div><div>One of our longest standing members, former scrim leader/captain for War Inc and a highly respected part of our community has finally earned the Admin right. He has probably recruited people all by himself in War Inc when people got tired of getting killed by him, They probably joined Pwnography just to get on the same team ^_^. No seriously, hes a great player and not a single admin ever had a issue with him over they year or so he has been with us. He was the first person &nbsp;to start recruiting for CS:GO and pushing the game on me and the division is here mostly thanks to him. He has helped manage the our server (Along with Imagine who runs it) and will be a vital part of our CS:GO division starting up. He will be&nbsp;busy&nbsp;with studying during times, so I will be here to help back him up when he cant be here. Other then that, there&nbsp;shouldn't&nbsp;be a problem with Ruff leading us. Everyone should know what he has done for the clan here so without further ado we say welcome.</div><div><br></div><div>Congratulations to the new Admins and here's to the bright future we have ahead *Raises glass*</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Pwnography 2.0</title>

      <guid>http://www.truepwnography.com/home/article/988621/m/2383835</guid>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Give a big welcome to "<span style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold; ">Pwnography 2.0</span>"<div><br></div><div>Starting today, we will begin the&nbsp;process&nbsp;of transforming Pwnography into a multi-gaming clan and introduce many new games, ranks, and features.</div><div><br></div><div>It&nbsp;wasn't&nbsp;an easy road to get here with a lot of doubts and confusion at times, but all of you guys who are still here showed you cared about the clan more then any one person or one game. It is because of you that this clan is stronger and better then ever. I'll skip the pep talk and get straight to the new stuff, but I want you guys to know that without every single one of you, we&nbsp;wouldn't&nbsp;be here today.</div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 24pt; text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 100, 0);">New Games</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Introducing our brand new officially supported games:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style=""><li>Counter-Strike: Global Offensive</li><li>Day-Z</li><li>War Inc: Battlezone</li></ul><div><br></div><div>Many players play or have been playing those games and we felt like these would be the best and safest choices for the moment.</div><div><br></div></div><div style="text-align: left;">To add a new game officially, they have to meet certain&nbsp;requirements, these include:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style=""><li>Need to have the proper amount of players and&nbsp;support&nbsp;for the certain game in question.</li><li>Need to make sure every single member can understand the game we play.</li><li>Need to be able to recruit new members, setup scrims (If applicable) and communicate with the community around the game.&nbsp;</li></ul><div><br></div><div>The games above met these&nbsp;requirements. As of today, we will officially start recruiting for them on a full time basis. We will become active on their respective forums, and people in the clan may (And are suggested to do so) download the game and join the other members.</div><div><br></div><div><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-size: 8pt; ">Note: Just because your game didn't make the list doesn't mean we cant add it later. Make sure to get all the players that play the game you want and tell them to let us know. We cant add a game if we don't know about our players actively playing it.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><br></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 100, 0);">New Ranks</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div>With new games will come new ranks. Here they are in order:</div><div><br></div><div><ul style=""><li>Leader</li><li>Global Administrator</li><li>---------------------------------------------------------------------</li><li>War Inc: Administrator</li><li>Counter-Strike Administrator</li><li>Day-Z Administrator</li><li>----------------------------------------------------------------------</li><li>Member Of The Week</li><li>----------------------------------------------------------------------</li><li>War Inc Division</li><li>Counter-Strike Division</li><li>Day-Z Division</li></ul><div><br></div></div><div>Most of them should be self explanatory, as far as the ones you have questions on I will go into greater detail in the next hours to come. First thing to do is set everything up on the website. I will be dedicating an entire news post to explain new ranks all by itself.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 24pt; text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(0, 100, 0);">New Features</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">As for the new features of the clan, here they are:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style=""><li>The first feature you may have noticed is a "Member of the week" rank. Well yes, we will be adding this to give members an incentive to get&nbsp;recognized&nbsp;for doing&nbsp;helpful&nbsp;things and become creative. As this is part of the ranks, all the information about this will be posted in that post.</li></ul></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style=""><li>The second feature that will be new is how the administration team will work together. You will have new ways to deal with problems, new ways to put in complaints, new sections of the website/forum and new ways to be heard. Anything ranging from a complaints "box" to a special section for the forum where you can start a topic about any&nbsp;suggestion/issue and only the admin team along with yourself will be able to see it/discuss it.</li></ul></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style=""><li>The final feature is that we will start hosting our own Game Servers for the games we support (Assuming the game allows us to do this). At the moment we do have our own Counter-Strike: Global Offensive server (Thanks to Imagine) and we will look to expand this into our new game Day-Z. We will be&nbsp;talking&nbsp;with the admins about this and will update you guys when we come up with a conclusion.</li></ul></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">Now, just because this is posted&nbsp;doesn't&nbsp;mean all this is already implemented. There is a lot of work to be done to make all this happen and it cannot all be done at the exact same time of this post.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">First thing we are going to do is talk to the people we want to become admins and make sure they want the job. After that I will&nbsp;make&nbsp;a post describing all the new ranks: What they mean, how they work, and what they will do. While doing the above two things I will be making the proper changes on the website + forum and start the recruitment&nbsp;process&nbsp;for our new games.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br></div><div style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;I hope you guys will enjoy whats coming.</div></div></div>]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Something Every Member Should Read.</title>

      <guid>http://www.truepwnography.com/home/article/985033/m/2383835</guid>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[This is the mindset we want all of our players to be following. Please take some time out of your day and read this very short article ( I&nbsp;<span style="text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold; ">HIGHLY</span>&nbsp;Suggest everyone read it. Link is at bottom and this is <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; ">EXACTLY </span>the mindset I was aiming for with this clan. So if you want to learn how to be a better member, Reading this will get you on that path.):<div><br></div><div></div><div><hr></div><div><div>What is skill?</div><div><br></div><div>The definition of skill is debated constantly on game forums because everybody has a different viewpoint. For our purposes here, skill is what you want it to be - but realize that pulling off headshots is not the only definition. Skill is applied knowledge along with dexterity and talent. Outthinking is just as skillful as outfighting. If you prefer one idea of skill because it’s the most fun for you, approach this guide with it in mind. Maybe being on the top of the leader/match board is most skillful to you. Maybe being the best team player. Maybe just winning the match. Maybe just devising creative/funny strategies.</div><div><br></div><div>One mode of thinking that will absolutely hinder your ability to improve is to point at what others are doing and say "That is not skillful. I am better than them because I don’t do the cheap, skillless thing they rely on.” Now, grenade spamming may or may not be skillful, but worrying about such things is a waste of your time. What you should worry about is how to adapt to grenade spam instead of crying about it. Crying about it is a mental wall that once built, actually reduces your ability to adapt to the thing that annoys you.</div><div><br></div><div>Treat everything that beats you as skillful. Why? BECAUSE IT BEAT YOU. They won, you lost, get over it. Even if the winner is technically "less skilled,” tell yourself otherwise. For instance, start thinking of every little thing you can do to not let that grenade spammer beat you again. Yes, grenades may be overpowered and too easy to use, but there’s nothing you can do to change that. What you can do is equip yourself with anti-grenade loadouts, and most importantly, spend time becoming good with the thing you hate. Become an expert grenade spammer. You’ll learn the nuances that play into the success or failure of the tactic. Then, you can go back to your preferred playstyles (you must learn more than one playstyle) and have the knowledge to help you beat the spammers</div></div><div><br></div><div><hr></div><div><br></div><div>Full Article:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.gamesradar.com/change-the-way-you-think-to-get-better-at-games/">http://www.gamesradar.com/change-the-way-you-think-to-get-better-at-games/</a>&nbsp;(Make sure to go through all the 4/5 pages)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>]]></content:encoded>

      <title>KingPinn Stepping down.</title>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[KingPinn one of our longer and more dedicated admins is now stepping down from his position.<div><br></div><div>He loves this clan and still wants to be part of us, but will no longer be an admin. One of the main reasons for this is time and pressure from work. For a while now, he has been busy with his company and working on his free time. He cant always be here to play with us and solve in-game problems and with being a admin lies&nbsp;a lot&nbsp;of&nbsp;responsibly which are time consuming. Adding to that, clan drama&nbsp;can add unneeded pressure in real life, which is bad when your already under stress. Even though the clan is moving in the right direction he still feels like he cannot commit what an administrator should and has decided to step down.</div><div><br></div><div>Instead of admin, he will now gain the rank of "WQA" Website Quality Assurance. His new job will be to make sure the website is working properly, payments are up to date, members ranks are correct and polls are updated.</div><div><br></div><div>Please stay respectful of his decision.</div><div><br></div><div>He is still a&nbsp;cherished&nbsp;part of our family that we are glad to have.</div>]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Road Ahead</title>
      <pubDate>Fri, 24 Aug 2012 02:23:00 -0400</pubDate>
      <link>http://www.truepwnography.com/home/article/966381/m/2383835</link>
      <guid>http://www.truepwnography.com/home/article/966381/m/2383835</guid>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Today, I will post up a "Road" that I am following to get the clan ready to become a full multi-gaming clan and bring us back on track. <br><br>The public rules were just the very first phase of things to come. The main reason for all the changes coming is to prepare us for new members, for new games, for peoples first impressions and to finally fix the issues rooted deep inside so we can find out what those exactly are and fix them before moving we start to move forward.<br><br>Phase One.<br><br>1.1 Set up new guidelines that are more detailed, easier to understand, give freedom to admins so they can deal out real punishments (Instead of a slap on the wrist or a "Dont do it again!") and to be stricter. - This part has been complete and the rules will constantly be updated.<br><br>1.2 Establish both, a public and private guideline for the Admin Team. The admin team will know what there exact job are, will know what to do and how to handle different situations in a trained manner, will have to abide by a rule system set up and not act out any way they want and will be more efficient in their work. - This is going to be done in the next 24 hours.<br><br>Phase Two.<br><br>2.1 The admin team will talk to every single member (Active Only) of Pwnography and get vital information out of them to help solve any future issues that might appear. Questions will range from what personal issues one person might have with another, to suggestions they wanted us to hear about. Everything in between (Like personal opinions on the admin team, Games a person would like, Clan Rules, and any questions you can think of) will be asked.<br><br>The point of this phase is the most important one to our future. We ask every members that we will talk with, to be honest and answer all questions we may ask truthfully. We are going to try and solve as much issues as we can so when the time to start recruiting for all of our new games comes, new members don't join straight into a week of drama or a couple of people always fighting it out in Raidcall.<br><br>Phase Three.<br><br>3.1 After the above gets finished, we will need to decide on our official new games. This could be a long or short process, depending on how it goes. We are only going to accept "main" games that people play. No side games for now.<br><br>The problem with side games is, if people are all maining on "Game x" for 6 hours a day and then play "Game y" for 1 hour a day then "Game y" will never be truly supported. Because for 23/24 hours during the day the place will be empty and if we get any new recrits at all for "Game y" then they will expect activity. We wont be able to provide that to recruits, and we shouldn't lie to people about how active we are and how many people we have playing it. That will only make our clan look bad for the future if we were ever to main in said game.<br><br>I will post the requirements to what will be accepted as we get closer to this phase.<br><br>3.2 Once we have decided on our games, made all the proper topics on forums, we will start assigning proper ranks on the website and Raidcall. We will have new ranks all around (Website and Raidcall):<br><br>Leader/Co-Leader<br>Global Moderator (Admin for the entire clan)<br>Game Specific Moderator<br>Game Specific Scrim Captain<br>Veteran (Specifics for this rank will/might change)<br>Game Specific Member/Test Member<br><br>These are subject to change as they will be re-discussed with the entire admin team, but this will be the base. The main reason for these changes will be so that we have a easier time tracking new members, Admins will have an easier time knowing who they are responsible for and finally this will enable us to see which games are blossoming and which are slacking.<br><br>(Yes you will be able to main at two games at once, and have 2 game ranks, etc..) Will go into details as we get closer.<br>]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Taking leadership back.</title>
      <pubDate>Thu, 16 Aug 2012 19:17:00 -0400</pubDate>
      <link>http://www.truepwnography.com/home/article/951466/m/2383835</link>
      <guid>http://www.truepwnography.com/home/article/951466/m/2383835</guid>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<DIV>Starting very soon I'll be back in full force. I am going to be making some very needed changes and I will start leading again.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Cleaning out the members - Take this as a warning if you need to. From now on I do not want to see trolling, disrespecting, screaming/crying, stupidity or anything else from anyone in Pwnography.&nbsp;I dont care if you were here before the clan was created or you joined 1 day ago. If you forgot what this clan is about, go and read the "About Us" section when you need a reminder. Otherwise there should be no more complaints about players starting August 19, 2012. If I hear enough legit complaints I will start demoting, kicking, suspending, or anything else I see fit. Think before you act.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>"Official Games" - We are finally going to add new games to our list (And remove the old ones we do not play anymore). When we announce this we expect EVERYONE to download them and at the least give the games a try. We will have more then one, but we ask that you downlaod all the games we decide to support and are willing to be open-minded about trying them all. If your game was not added, it does not mean we will never do it. We are trying to bring us all together right now. I am sure we can all enjoy any game when we play regardless, so lets start with some "general" games that work for everyone and expand more in the future.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Updated Rules - I will be doing a MAJOR update to this part&nbsp;of the clan. I will FORCE everyone here to re-agree to them, and I will make sure you have no access until you read every single word and have agreed. I will make the rules strict this time, I will make every rule explained to the limit and I will make sure no one can get around them.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Done. </DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Other then that I'm here to lead again, I forgot why I decided to re-make Pwnography in the first place for a minute there. I was reminded today why the originall fell apart and I know what I need to do to make sure we dont follow their path. The "nice and forgiving" Advanced is going to take a step to the side a bit until we can have atleast two weeks worth of time drama-free. I'm tired of going online and hear complaints on a daily basis. This stops now.</DIV>]]></content:encoded>
