SpawnPoint Assault server advantages

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 09:33:16 GMT

I think SpawnPoint servers are better than other because::
-They Don't have Quake sounds
-There are some very good admins and at least 1 is always on the server
-Swearing is disabled

Development Update

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 05:30:22 GMT

Hello once again. The time has come for when I update on you what has been going on with this great ongoing project known as SpawnPoint.

Firstly, I am sure you know that we are in the process of switching all of our servers over to SourceMod.

Secondly, some other updates have been done. Editorial panel fixes, some SEO optimizations, and most of all SpawnPoint is looking even better.

Pages updated include Blog Categories (which were missing), server details page (which was acting weird), and a fancy new flash map on the servers page (which is just cool).

Be sure to not forget about new servers in Los Angeles for your enjoyment. Thanks to the Server Support Staff.

As always, all of us here SpawnPoint thank you for your loyalty and patience during all of these events.

Ryan... Out. (yes, I just did a Ryan Seacrest spoof, lame I know)

Manager or Leader?

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 21:16:03 GMT

Over the years the terms management and leadership have been so closely related that individuals in general think of them as one and the same. However, this is not the case even considering that good managers have leadership skills and vice-versa.....

Someone once defined these two positions as follows: -

Management involves power by position. Leadership involves power by influence.

I have a different view.........

The manager administers; the leader innovates.
The manager focuses on systems and structures; the leader
focuses on people.
The manager relies on control; the leader inspires trust.
The manager asks how and when; the leader asks what and why.
The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has
his eye on the horizon.
The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it .

Managers are people who have been appointed in their position and have the power that allows them to direct and control their staff – managers are to be obeyed.

Leaders, however, can emerge from within groups and inspire and influence people through their vision. A leader doesn’t have to be in a position of authority, but people may naturally follow this individual of their own choice.

As such groups are often more loyal to a Leader than a Manager. The Manager rules, but the Leader is followed.

This is epitomized in the film “Brave Heart”. William Wallace, a mere clansman, leads the Scots to battle the English occupiers. Contrast this with Robert the Bruce, a Scottish Nobleman who has the authority to challenge the English. Robert the Bruce chooses to follow protocol and maintain the status quo with England – ‘doing things the right way’, yet he knows Wallace is ‘doing the right thing’.

This means that managers do things by the book and follow company policy, while leaders follow their own intuition, which may in turn be of more benefit to the company. A leader is more emotional than a manager . "Men are governed by their emotions rather than their intelligence". This quotation illustrates why teams choose to follow leaders.

When a leader emerges in a group containing a manager, conflict may arise if they have different views. When a manager sees the group looking towards someone else for leadership he may feel his authority is being questioned.

I think of myself asthe"Community Leader" hereon SpawnPoint and not the "Community Manager"...

Is this a flaw? Am I the "William Wallace" of SpawnPoint? In some ways I hope not, Wallace was hung drawn and quartered for daring to stand up for his values.............

Well, I've officially tied the knot. I will be moving down to North Carolina just outside the base in two weeks. My apologies, but please don't expect me on again in quite some time. Bye.

DONE!

Get in!! Its such a natural high to walk out of an exam with your head held high! Totally dominated my final biology exam after being so nervous about it!

Time to catch up on some writing and counter strike! :D

Apologies for any inconvience

Sat, 30 May 2009 19:52:21 GMT

In just less than a weeks time i'll have finished my exams.. And just to let anyone thats interested know, i have several articles ready to publish, but i'd feel much better publishing them once i've got my exams out of the way.

I'd have to perform my like football club Newcastle United, and get relegated.. well from education at least, so apologies for lack of commitment in the past week or so, but I can promise you i'll be back to my fullest potential, and unless anyone knows anything about Biology and/or Chemistry then I doubt i'll speak to anyone in the next week, Expect a comeback tour 4/06/09 :p

Thanks,

Liam

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Thu, 28 May 2009 20:27:13 GMT

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of sh*t
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
