Making the above post brought some nostalgia into my mind as this is the first time we will revisit a wad where I attended the original session. Come celebrate with me as I officially become a TNS veteran :')

[Doomkid]

I only very recently discovered this wad, but it really is well designed and looks damn good to boot. I've got a long weekend, so for the first time in an eternity, I may actually make it to TNS this time around!

[Tristan]

Glad to hear it Doomkid :D I just hope the Australia-Europe ping won't be too bothersome

Perhaps it's time to remember ZimmerFrame_Doomer's finest hour in TNS, where he accidentally teleported twelve players into a nukage pit.

That was indeed my finest hour in TNS that will most likely never be surpassed. And it was my first session as a full-time TNS admin as well :D My only regret is you weren't among my victims, Eris :P

This week's session will also be Eris' 100th TNS so there will be two of us celebrating a milestone and that's one more reason to come :)

[rhinoduck]

We also added map16 and map17 to the maplist for tonight because things were going a bit too fast. The rest of the maps should still leave enough fodder for the second sessions.

Everything is under control

I really enjoyed this TNS, even though I was only there for a bit over an hour - It's a damn shame I'm usually at work during them, I had fun! Damn challenging, too. :)

Not a single join from these guys on map14 in pain rotation. They just watched their teammates getting annihilated. Shame, shame, shame.
Don't be like these guys, don't poop at the parties.

Of course, with Salty's presence Reality mode during random damage was abused once again for some teamkilling orgy. Bringing you the teamkills statistics again:

6th longest session and only the 3rd time in TNS history we got to 7th rotation. It sure was an eventful and fun Doom gathering.
