For those of you who don't know. tf2.mix.nahl is an intermediate PUG group for highlander. It has been inactive for awhile but 2 weekends ago, we managed to get it going starting Friday, Saturday, and Sunday around 8 PM EST. On Friday and Saturday, we were able to keep going until ~12-1 AM and last weekend we were able to duplicate that having around 10-11 mixes throughout the weekend. So if you don't feel like you benefit much from tf2center, I'd recommend joining us on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays. If you don't have time, feel free to tell your friends who you think this would appeal to! We are looking for ~Silver players but if you don't meet this criteria, don't be afraid to try it out! If you feel that you're out of your depth, either try asking for advice or come back after you feel more confident! Mumble is required and even if you don't have a mic, please still join the channel so others can communicate with you.

I mostly see highlander players on TF2Center past midnight eastern time. pug and mix are usually dead by then.

On Friday and Saturday, we had the last ones starting around 12-12:30 and ending around 1-2 AM. I think that's pretty good for weekends. Hopefully if we do get more people involved, we can have multiple mixes going simultaneously, that and daily mixes are the long-term goals.

It's true, center killed pugs. Its sad because pugs are way butter, but center is just more convenient.

I don't think center killed pugs. I think it's just center has players of all skill-levels, and has a very small barrier of entry. Nice GUI, different locations, different gametypes, etc, etc. The biggest thing is that Center is based on a PUG system, but it's first come, first serve, instead of captain based. This leads to more people/more games being played but, arguably, less skilled games. Plus going past midnight with only about 20-25 active players is still pretty awesome. Whereas tf2center has 80+ on, even at 2 or 3 AM.

On a related note, if any of you are following the ugc thread: http://www.ugcleague.com/forum/showthread.php?21592-tf2-mix-nahl-starting-back-up-again-We-need-your-help!/page4
Blindsight, the head admin, is working on a site to facilitate the mixes instead of using IRC. This will hopefully allow for more people to get interested as well as add some features that wouldn't be possible via IRC.
Please contact him via steam or ugc forum PM's http://www.ugcleague.com/players_page.cfm?player_id=76561198013595660 or PM him via IRC (query) if you'd like to help with this, making graphics, tutorials, help guides, anything you think you could contribute.

Just want to add in,
Pretty much the project I'm working on will bring the pug and mix channels together (i.e. #tf2.mix.nahl, #tf2.pug.nahl, #tf2.mix.euhl, maybe #tf2.pug.na if they want) and have it so it can be easily used by a website with a nice GUI and IRC interpreter for people who can't figure out how to use IRC. As always, this will let players still use the traditional IRC method of just installing a client, connecting to the network, and adding up that way. I've been running some stats programs for the past week or so collecting data on all the servers to help get the in game stats system going as well as the traditional stats (really, what does that really do at this point?). This project will definitely be a challenge to get it just right but hopefully with enough support I can make this happen. Anyone interested in helping, feel free to message me either on IRC, ugc, or steam.
