First of all, I'd like to excuse for my English, it isn't the best in written form.
Anyway, I have been really busy at work (System developer), doing stuff for Trafikverket, which is a really big company that is runned by the goverment, deadline was today, and I completed the "mission" yesterday, I also work now for Skövde Kommun.
Anyhow, Hymn of Hope is getting new sign-ups everyday, and its soon not very long until the first monthly tournament will start. I do notice that the Quake-scene is very passive in the aspect of this tournament, and I do understand since there has been people who has promised stuff, and when it actually gets real, they hide in the shadows. Also if someone can major posts on ESR, please contact me, I have problem getting stuff up on ESR, and none major our stuff, this is a shame.
This is a promise, this tournament will continue, and I do hope in my whole heart that you, the community embrace it, and give us a fair chance. What I have failed with so far is trying to get people to sign-up by querying them and nagging on irc, but for some reason I feel that, this shouldnt be needed, if people want this and want QuakeWorld to still be active, they have to pull their part in this, therefor, dont expect me to come to you, because I wont (except for Milton)
So far I Have seen some old timers who has started playing, spoke to a Russian the other day and BuLaT does know about this tournament, and might even sign-up for it.
I also want to thank everyone who has donated, though, these donations will be used in the next tournament, since we already did a announcement, Im not very fund of changing the prize pool everytime someone donates, and so far, the next tournament is looking good(!!!).
In the next couple of days, another announcement will be made, though just hinting that the tournament starts soon. I also want to thank everyone in the staff who has helped out, and andehs blogpost here on QW.nu made my eyes open up alot, I love the way he writes, really professional.
And last, paradoks, I Have annoyed him so much for qw.nu posts, and even though he hates it, he still helps out.
Hymn of Hope <- Dont forget to visit and sign-up.
Thank you
