It is with great pleasure to officially welcome Doc to Urgent Fury. Yesterday he started with his first article telling everyone about Lobo from Injustice. We have known Doc ever since his appearance on PlayStation's Tester Season 1 where he introduced the gaming world to Beerios.

Doc has seen had a very quiet roll in the background here at UF working with the Media side of the house. Here is a little about Doc:

Quote:
I have been Gaming since Atari 2600 was released. Space Invaders was my game and technically my 1st shooter. I was the kid that always totted his Turbo Graphics 16 Turbo Express around with him playing Devil's Crush Pinball because I believed I was going to be the next Digital "Tommy" I won my 1st game competition in 1998 having the fastest time in the world for Resident Evil 1 and 2 back to back at my local GameWorks, before games where seriously tracked. SoCom later became a big part of my gaming life. I even went on to compete as part of the ATF clan (Avenge The Fallen) Sony took notice of me and asked me to be part of a groundbreaking experience. The 1st console only gamer reality show: The Tester. As a response to the fans the show: Replay with Doc in the PlayStation Home community theater was born. Over the past several years a secret alliance with Urgent Fury was taking place. Not known to many I have been an Staff on UF for a while, secretly watching the comings and goings. UF has the best motto that applies from the actual battlefield to the digital one: "Win with Honor…Lose with Dignity"
You will see even more from Doc as he brings Replay with Doc to UFreqTV and on PlayStation Home.

Welcome Doc to the team. ]]> Announcements Shane http://www.urgentfury.com/showthread.php/87018-Urgent-Fury-welcomes-Doc-to-staff Though extremely hard to detect, this is not acceptable use here http://www.urgentfury.com/showthread.php/86919-Though-extremely-hard-to-detect-this-is-not-acceptable-use-here?goto=newpost Mon, 06 May 2013 16:38:00 GMT PS3 INTENSAFIRE 2.0The next evolution in PS3 rapid fire controller technology is here in the form of the PS3 IntensaFire 2.0 rapid fire controller mod.

The next evolution in PS3 rapid fire controller technology is here in the form of the PS3 IntensaFire 2.0 rapid fire controller mod. The PS3 IntensaFire 2.0 controller mod adds rapid fire capability to any PS3 controller with plug & play simplicity. The PS3 IntensaFire 2.0 delivers blistering fast rates of fire and lightning quick reloads and exclusive new features such as the sniper double tap and Battlefield 3 auto tagging. Ease of use coupled with simplistic installation makes the PS3 IntensaFire an excellent choice for gamers of all experience levels seeking the best PS3 rapid fire controller on the market today.


The PS3 IntensaFire 2.0 rapid fire controller mod is compatible with all games and ships with pre-programmed rapid fire modes optimized for the entire Call of Duty® series including Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops 2 and Battlefield 3.

With all of the events in the last 24 hours, we have decided that the clans that have earned their place to compete in the Urgent Fury arena deserve more respect. Normally we would remove a problem clan and just let the event continue, but this runs deeper.

We have clans that have tarnished our community with alternative motives, and overall ruining the experience for members of our community that deserve better. With that being said, POW II will be retired with no closure. There is no POW Champion, no winner and absolutely no Honor among members of several clans involved.

To SHO, RVN, SKS, NS and DFW we at Urgent Fury want to apologize to you. In recent years we have lowered our standards because of low participation and this is what we get. We are going to redo the process and qualifications that will be required for a Clan to receive an invite. We are also going to lower the amount of teams we allow to play in the events.


To the other clans that have ruined the experience for these clans, good luck with your new venture. I am sure you will do it better like everyone else has. ]]> Announcements Shane http://www.urgentfury.com/showthread.php/86883-POW-II-is-now-canceled POWII: Attention DKGC http://www.urgentfury.com/showthread.php/86877-POWII-Attention-DKGC?goto=newpost Wed, 01 May 2013 13:16:13 GMT Due to the actions of the Clan Reps and members of Divine Knights, we will be removing them from POW II.

Due to the actions of the Clan Reps and members of Divine Knights, we will be removing them from POW II. All wars scheduled after 4.30.12 will be void and all territories will become neutral. As for the events that lead up to this, let us make them clear.

Two weeks ago after clan reps voiced their concerns about the rules not being clear enough, we put POW II on hold to adjust the rules including clarifying rules that the reps had issues with and adding rules to combat threats by reps that they would not be sending friend invites to clans.

We then posted the updated rules on April 12th:

Rule Set 1: Rule Amending During Tournament Play

F: If for any reason the Directors and Admins feel it necessary to place the tournament on hold, any timed suspension, execution, etc will pause as well. The clock will resume when the tournament resumes.

Rule Set 2: INITIAL MOTIONS OF THE TOURNAMENT

D: Once chosen to participate in UF: POW II, each clan is responsible for appointing a PRIMARY CLAN REP and a SECONDARY CLAN REP for their clan. Your PRIMARY Clan Rep will be the first one to discuss any match issues in the Clan Rep Section. The only job of the SECONDARY Clan Rep is to represent your clan ONLY when your Primary CR is not available that day or week. The Clan Rep (or "CR") is responsible for all maneuvers for their designated clan, as well as being in charge of informing all their clansmen of any updates and/or changes to the happenings in the tourney. This includes any information discussed in the Weekly Meetings. In the best interest of your clan, PLEASE make sure your Clan Reps are the most responsible and most available members of your clan. They are in charge of getting to this forum on an almost daily basis to make sure your clan is informed of all happenings in this tourney. Immature Clan Reps or clan reps that fail to keep their clans informed of information from the forums and meetings will be removed by the UF Staff.

Rule Set 13: ROOM SET-UP FOR UF: POW II WARS

F: 12 hours prior to a match, the attacking clan must post the designated rep for the match in the PSN Swap Section http://www.urgentfury.com/forumdispl...SN-Swap-Center if the attacking team does not post the Rep for the match within the allotted time, the match will be listed as a loss. If the Defending clan has a POW Camp they will be able to choose Two unprotected players unless a clan's roster has been depleted as per Rule 5 - D

G: Within one hour prior to the war, the Defending team must have sent the Designated war rep a friend invite to ensure this player is able to join the war. If this person has not accepted your friend request please have your clan rep notify staff via the Clan rep section.*

H: In the case of a Special war where a Staff member is acting as the Neutral Host, The teams clan rep must join the room no later than 5 minutes after the scheduled match time to bring in their players for the match. If no rep is available, you must post in the PSN Swap section that your rep is not available and a designated player's PSN ID shall be added for the match. Players are expected to be in the match no later than 10 min after the war time as specified in previous Rules. Invites may or may not be sent out as a courtesy depending on what is going on at the time. If the host is unavailable for any reason, the special match will be rescheduled for the following week. This will only apply in extreme situations.

Rule Set 9: EXPLANATION OF THE PRISONERS OF WAR or POWs

7. When a clan attacks a POW city from their Heliport and succeeds in taking it, the successful attackers must release the POWs of one clan (Active clans must be chosen if available) and must keep the rest of the POWs from the remaining clans. The released POWs may return to active duty to their home clan and may enter into their clan's wars that very week immediately. In the case of a POW city only containing a player(s) from one clan, then that player(s) remains captive in the POW city under the management of the attacking clan. The clan that gains control of the POW City may begin claiming POWs in the following weeks wars.

Rule Set 10: Explanation of "The Great Escape"

B: All POW camps which hold AT LEAST FOUR or more POWs in them can see their captive POWs choose to band together during a Great Escape week and attack their captors. In this case, POWs are considered attackers and the owners of the POW camp are considered the defenders. All Great Escape wars must happen at 9pm CST on the day that the POWs collectively call for. No other time is allowed other than 9pm CST. The defenders, or owners of the POW camp, have NO say in the day that a Great Escape war is to happen. Attacks may also be called for on a clan's bad night. This attack is considered bonus in that the attack AND the defense does NOT count towards the 2/2 quota of attacks and defenses given to all clans every week. All Great Escape wars are scheduled announced at the Sunday war meetings. All Great Escape wars shall be hosted by a neutral host or Staff member since multiple clans may be involved. Great Escape weeks are determined by the tournament admins and can be scheduled any week they see fit.

I: POW Protection does not apply to Executions, anyone in attendance of the match is subject to execution as per 10 - F

J: In the case of a no show by the Defenders, 4 players will be executed from the Defenders Roster. They can be POWs of another camp, Protected Players, etc. There is no protection for any player from Execution.

K: POW Escape Matches will be hosted by a Staff member or designated Neutral Player by the Staff. As per Rule 13 - H the defending clan rep must join the match to bring in their players or designate a rep in the PSN Swap Section to do the same. POWs who wish to attend the escape must add the host to their Friends list. If the Host's List is full please post in the PSN Swap Section up to 5 min before the deadline. All POW Wars will have the 10 min deadline as in other matches.

L: As a reward for POWs, even if their clan has been eliminated, they may continue to participate as a POW in Great Escape Matches. By doing so this gives them a chance to get even with the team that captured them and can cause an active clan to loose important members adversely affecting the possible outcome of the tournament. Once a POW from an eliminated clan has escaped, they are no longer a part of the tournament and can come home to their fellow comrades in arms.
Last week we noticed that clans were not posting in the PSN Swap section and one war suffered from this when the Reps were not online and the team did not communicate who would be the match contact. In response to this we posted a warning to all clan reps:

Quote:

On Monday even after the warnings, VITL and DKGC did not follow Rule Set 13 - F, keep in mind this may seem tedious but it ensures that each team is able to get their teams in the room together. It is as easy as posting your schedule up for the week and notating who the reps will be, it could be all the same or it could very well be someone different.

As highlighted above and have been in the rules for many years, it is the Clan Reps responsibility to ensure that their clan mates are informed of any updates as well as tournament related information. The only person to fault is the Clan Reps in this issue as not only were they given a warning 6 days in advance, they are given every opportunity to voice any questions and or concerns. We are not here to hold hands and babysit adults either. The clan seems to feel we did this to slight them personally, yet 2 weeks ago when the rules were updated and 7 days ago, how would we know who would schedule their attacks first.

There have also be accusations of fixing the drawing for DK to be the last clan drawn, and we did an audit and found that there were a few weeks that they were last and various order in all others... this is done by random drawing from a little Tupperware dish with a lid on it. We cannot control who is drawn in what order as we shake it up after each clan is chosen to ensure it is random. We are not going to change this process.

As is what has become the norm when a Clan is slighted by their own fault, we will take the blunt of the blame and there will be screaming from the rafters that it was not fair and that they were targeted. To that we will not react because first and foremost it is false. But we will continue to issue infractions on the forums for continued rule violations and some will receive temporary bans known as the 48 hour cool down period. Hopefully this will serve as a learning experience for other clans to ensure that your Clan Rep is responsible and willing to take responsibility for their own actions.

The Directors and Staff put a lot of work into these tournaments on their own dime. And we will not tolerate any disrespect of the community or any excessive disrespect of Staff and Directors. In the course of about 3 hours, several members of DK crossed this line. Urgent Fury since its inception has been built on Respect of the Community. Our Motto "Win with Honor, Lose with Dignity" is also our creed. As a clan you indicated that you could "Win with Honor and Lose with Dignity", but today not only did your Clan Rep and Acting Leader for UF fail to follow this, several members of your team also followed this on UF as well as several Social Media Sites and Twitch.

With that being said, we wish you luck in your future ventures where ever you end up and hope that your team learns from this.
