excuse me while i masterbate to tom hank's tie from BIG.

Yes gentlemen, the day may just finally come---a server for CIC.

I've put some thought into and, and I'm kind of stuck. What kind of gamemode should it support? What map? What's the cheapest server option? This is where I need all of your help. You are CIC, therefore you should help in the decision of what this server is going to be like. WE NEED YOU!

I need a team as well. Coders, admins, advisers, whatever's necessary. Please, if you have experience with dedicated servers or any of that, or if you know a few things about coding or anything useful in this scenario, I REALLY NEED YOU!

Hello everyone, this is your supreme Overlord speaking.

The quesiton some of you maybe asking is, is CIC dead?

No. As weak of a community I have let this become, CIC will not die while I still stand. Yes, it's true that the major leaders have taken absense for quite some time, Tickle and I in specific. Muffy probably knows this by now, but I have not given up on Steam and stopped using it completely; This is still my secondary society erected in the prime of the internet, but it's a little difficult to maintain availability. I cannot guarantee specific days or hours I can be online, I just don't know what kind of things come up in my real life. But of course, I am a leader here, and I must keep my people satisfied. Tickle however is not very interested in Steam. He has more important matters to attend to irl, by his standards, and I have high doubts of his return, unless of course I ask him to come back occasionally.

I of course would not make an announcement like so without a form of update to be made. It is obvious that we are hindered by the lack of leadership and dedication, so I will propose the best solution I can imply at the moment.

I still cannot predict my presences here on the Steam community, so all I can do is ask that our members themselves start helping out in bringing us back up again. The way I see this happening is that I will allow members to post annoucements. In doing so, I'm thinking any of you could offer to party up in a game, or join the group chat. This is a basic stature of a PC Gaming group, and I'm hoping it will work until I can get better things up and running.

If we reach 100 members, I'll put up a forums page for CIC :D

So if any of you are playing Killing Floor or Alien Swarm or anything multiplayer or something, tell us here! Ask if anyone wants to join you! It's fun to gather up a gaming party and destroy everything in your path! We can be a better community!

Thanks guys,

Hey there everyone! ;D

It has been awhile since I've seen any activity here. Infact, I'm probably the only Overlord actually active now. Pep and Tickle have pretty much moved on from Steam and now focus on their lives (Pep has me to thank for that.) Everyone else, not too sure about them. I never really conversed with them as much as I did with Pep or Tickle.

But that's not the point of this announcement. I want to know what everyone else thinks of [CIC] and what we can do to make it more...active. So feel free to post your ideas as comments to this or just IM me. Thanks :D

I'm looking to play with some people. I've got a Hamachi VPN we can use and everything. If you have a copy of Command & Conquer: Generals, just message me if you feel like playing. I'm almost always up for a game.
