You might have noticed strange TCs running about again - and if you've been following the posts on our website, you might have guessed already: it's Motto Days again! This weekend we'll go with objects from Outer Space.

Hero: }TC{Kepler22b - Kepler 22-b is a planet that was discovered recently by the Kepler space telescope and which is in the Goldilock zone around Kepler 22, around 600 light years away from earth. Here's a bit about it on BBC Radio 4's very own The Now Show from 11/12/09:

Selinux: }TC{CarinaNebula - A star-forming region 8000 light years out. Here's more info.

Captain_Kirk: }TC{Alcyone - Alcyone is the main star of the Plejades, a star cluster in the constellation Taurus. The Plejades and Alcyone are said to have great sprititual power, espacially now in this age.

Carl: }TC{IC_434 - IC 434 is a bright emission nebula in the constellation of Orion. It was discovered in 1786 by William Herschel. It centers around the famous Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33). Distance from Earth: 1500 light years.

Fokinel: }TC{Meridian - A Russian communications satellite fell to the ground on Friday soon after it was launched, adding to a string of disasters that have haunted the country's space industry, Russian news agencies reported on Friday, quoting military sources.

A new Conqueror is around: Welcome Jasox in the hottest clan ever!

Carl has finally accepted his addiction to sauer and after all the support he gained from the cube2-community he decided to search professional help to fight his inner devils. We hope he will be able to defeat his anger, which often leads to irresponsible acts caused by his rage. We also hope that his disposition to teamkill will be cured to see a new man at the end: calm, in control of his emotions and a responsible admin!

Though SWL is still offline, Achille announced that SWL will be back next year in January "for another year full of tournaments". We are looking forward to it and hope that Italy will be able to fix their internet issues in time as ICC's website is offline, too. And again there is a solution by Achille:

Cube2 has a new +18 section which will substitute for the beloved "hottie of the week" - section from the ICC website we are all missing. Besides that there are even more changes: As you can read in the statement the admins decided to expand their help, support and attention to the entire community and even further! There is already the first content in the Funlogs and an event calendar was added to the menu! Feel free to contact the cube2 admins if you have some awesome content you would like to see on their blog.

mVa has managed to fix their server problems and the site is back online!

=MyS=, a successful AssaultCube clan, has dediced to found a sauerbraten section. You can visit their IRC channel #mys on gamesurge.

We wish you a happy new year! Enjoy it! It will be your last year...the world will end...again..but this time for sure!

Big website downtimes! A lot of websites are down these days. So I hoped to find a hot xmas chick on the ICC's, but nooo. Also down is SWL (including their game servers). Rumors say, they ran out of money and are closing the doors. Another down is noted for mVa. 

]RS[' homepage was found defaced today showing a picture of X-rated nature under a "]RS[ clan quit" headline. Don't believe that shit, the content of the picture sais enough about the hax0rs I think. CorpseDady wasn't available for a statement yet. Watch comments for updates.

Back online are at0m, not via the announced at0m-clan.org, but via at0m-clan.tk (already old news but here we go). Also kinda back are noVi with a cute xmas debacle at novi.i3n.at. Check it out.

Hero has been spottet on a rage rampage lately after finding the rest of TC engaging as l3375p34k0rz for hours. He rage quit Sauerbraten for an unknown period. Rumors say he's watching bad movies to accommodate the pain. Let's hope for the best. We are really sorry :P.

The Brazilian Bastards are looking for supporters. They want their own homepage. If you can afford a donation or offer a subdomain, feel free to contact them.

Sp4nk released a new video of Achille in a santa suit abusing a female clan member, we suspect Katja to be the victim. Most likely inspired by this video, MacMan just confessed to suffering from secret fantasies about a naked Selinux tied to a chair in his basement ready for some dirty games. He also admitted to have hacked her webcams in the hope of watching her playing Sauerbraten ... guess what? Naked again. Guys, wtf ... .

Didn't get enough yet? Have a look at some random pictures taken at our Xmas Regen party (click "Read more ..."):
