Hey guys!

I'm really looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow night in the newbie mix mumble (chi4.tragicservers.com 64737)! We will be having a basic community-building meeting to brainstorm changes and improvements to make for the next generation of mixes. These improvements will be focused much more on getting more players and coaches involved, rather than operational matters like “how we draft”, “should we still use mumble”, etc. That said, we can talk about those things afterwards.

I will be posting this meeting on my YouTube channel for people that miss it. I only say this so that everyone knows ahead of time that it is expected of people to behave themselves throughout the meeting. Uncivilized discourse and personal attacks will lead to a mute for the rest of the meeting, given out by admin discretion.

Current agenda (prone to updates):
- Introduction
- Format of meeting
- New organizational structure explanation
- Discussion of new structure
- Open recommendations for next generation recruitment
- Open questions about next generation recruitment
- Open recommendations for all other topics
- Open questions about all other topics
- Closing

This meeting is not for us to announce things to you, like many community “meetings” have been in the past. We sincerely want to make newbie mixes as great as we can, and we know we can’t do that by delegating mixes in a purely top-down fashion. PLEASE come prepared to provide feedback, ask constructive questions, and generally help out. We'd really appreciate it. The meeting is expected to start promptly at 9:30PM ET.

Everyone is welcome, and if you want to be an admin in the next iteration of mixes, I would HIGHLY recommend that you either come to this or alert us ahead of time that you won't be able to make it.

Feel free to discuss this announcement here on tftv or in our new newbie mix discord! https://discord.gg/u9VmVxk

I'll be around for the transition. Looking forward to mixes being back!

i thought we agreed not to post this one or mine would have been up that night rofl

esa lan was so fun

definitely cbear for tf2. i don't keep up with other scenes well enough to speak outside of tf2 tho

If you guys are willing to venture out of the competitive sphere a bit, jerma and star had some next level comedic timing as a pair. I had non-tf2 playing friends of mine in tears watching "The Sound it Makes" late one night

commented my shock on the youtube video before finding this thread, lol

Good job, lansky! I've recently started getting into shape (which is a bit cliche to do after quitting tf2), in part thinking about the impressive progress you've made since when I saw you at s15 lan talking to cs players about getting started lifting.

It's good to see you excelling in other things, even though we all miss in-game lansky.

ps am i going crazy or was there a vlog of olden-days tf2 nerds walking around a powerlifting competition just down the hall from lan? i have no idea which lan/year/players/anything.

The most recent iteration of Newbie Mixes would not have been a thing without Tragic, and I'll always appreciate him for that.
