🔒 EXCLUSIVE: Groups/EscapistTF/announcements/listing - Full Gallery 2025

Hi all,

Delaying this event a little bit, for a couple of reasons:

1) Server Necromancy is a full time job, and I haven't done this for a while, need a bit more time for prodding..

2) So we don't all hate each other by the time to new year rolls around..

3) So you all have time to reinstall TF2 :p

Hopefully we'll get a good few people around, reconnect and celebrate the old fashion way, by exploding each other.

PS @Commissar: Not a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ snowman.

Greetings all,

For those who don't know me, I'm FrostyCoolSlug, owner of the once popular UK TF2 server..

I'm planning on digging through the ashes, and restoring the TF2 server back to former glory for the new year, and am inviting everyone to join us there for a tradition that's been lost in recent years.

I'll let you all know the details before the event occurs, should be around 7pm UK time on the 31st, as well as where to connect too (after re-installing TF2 and doing the relevant tests), lets get drunk and merry while playing a game we all love :)

3 days and counting!

In honour of 2014 turning into 2015, we shall be setting fire, stabbing, shooting and performing general mayhem to the old year.

This shall be taking place on 10 PM GMT - convert to whatever foreign time zone you live in - on December 31st 2014.

Frosty will be providing Sno...Presents, and I shall be providing the knife in the back. Because that's what Father Time does.

Mentlegen?

T'was the night before Christmas
and all through the house
came the noises of swearing
(Wordsmith at his mouse)

The server was patched,
and the game loaded to,
And visions of fragging
were swarming his view

Suddenly he shouted
success in his plight
"LET'S GET FRAGGING, MAGGOTS"
And to all, a good fight.

GET IN HERE, YOU BASTARDS

You call this a year? In my day, we could have an entire year within a month and still have time to stop off at the pub on the way home!

Speaking of stopping off at the pub, it's come to my attention that some of you are considering not playing TF2 on christmas eve, playing into the wee hours of Christmas day. This is UNACCEPTABLE.

10pm. Christmas Eve. Be there or suffer the chastisement of your fellow men for the rest of 2014.

Smith
