A new beginning…
Welcome to COGS ’10-’11!
For all of our current members who are returning – you know where things are; try not to get too much blood on the carpets. For those of you who are just joining, we thought that we would write a quick post just summarising a few things.
Firstly – get involved! Whether it’s browsing the forums and explaining in intricate detail why Civilization V is a travesty, letting people know your innermost thoughts or simply quoting people wildly out of context, chances are someone else will join you in the comments, so get posting.
Next – get chatting! With an IRC channel that is in 24 hour use thanks to the absent and rarely missed sleeping patterns of our current members, there is always something being talked about, agreed upon, disassembled and then forgotten. If you’re new to IRC, don’t worry just skim *link*here and then click one of the two prominent links.
Then – get talking! With a mumble server that has channels for anything, most of our members use it for VOIP chat when playing games. The download link for mumble can be found under the “Gaming Guide” link above, but for you eager people, the server address is server.cogsbristol.co.uk, which is where all our other services are hosted too.
Lastly, and most importantly – get gaming! Use everything that you learned above in order to fill your nights up with top quality, high octane gaming. Log on to IRC, see if people are up for a game, connect to mumble and get going. It’s really what we live for.
And, as if we’re not being kind enough to you already, there are plenty of events already organised for all your needs:
• 14th October: TF2 Gaming Night (8pm onwards)
• 19th October: Console night in Bar 100, Student Union (Pending approval) – 6:30pm onwards.
• 23rd October: COGS LAN 1 – Located in the Avon Gorge room in the Student’s union from 10am.
Full details of all our events will be on the forums and in the inevitable e-mails that will grace your inboxes very soon. There’s also our handy calendar which we enter all events into as soon as we know about them!
Until the next time, that’s all from your committee this year.
Remember; Don’t play with yourself!
