ABOUT League of Extraordinary Girls

The best team.

Hey everyone!

Welcome to our steam group!

Please add each other and get to know each other :)

It's been a treat to get to meet so many female TF2 players!

My plan is (helpful links are at the bottom!):
- Familarise everyone with Mumble.
- Make sure everyone has an Ozfortress account (if you don't, they're easy to make!)
- Organise some practices sessions.

I'm thinking the first practice session will first off be about introducing everyone, class allocation and ensuring everyone is on the same page about the maps and formats of play.

If in doubt, ask myself or wm, through steam, ozfortress or this group.

LEGS - wow!

So…Ladies…what to say…

The past few weeks have been a rollercoaster of nervous anticipation, excitement & ultimately philosophical pride…

I have never been involved in TF2 tournament play before, making this experience a first & they are the kind I enjoy the most!!

Skae & Dart; the patience you showed those of us who had no idea of what even a ‘rollout’ was, or how to even have our steam set ups sorted is very much appreciated. You chic’s are incredibly talented, & I for one am grateful for the time you put in.

A cheers needs to passed on to TOG & Ministry for their time & effort in the scrim practices each week!

Dr.Worm, a shoutout to our honorary girl - for coaching us through rollouts & tactics - watching as we ran around butchering plays each week & providing patient, constructive feedback. Thanks Wormy!

Knives, it became glaringly obvious very quickly, the ladies you gathered from around the community were all diamonds! Thanks for pulling the team together, & special thanks for the trust you afforded me to support you & the team through to the event!

It has been so nice logging into steam & having a bunch of “hello’s” pop up, chatting to you all about your days, thoughts & expectations ahead! It has been an absolute pleasure meeting all of you…& I have every intention of hunting you all down for a game or even just a chat – so make sure you stay in touch!!

Ice

First of all, everyone was stupendous. I love you all dearly. Thank you for being involved and working so damn HARD! The level of progress we've had is immense. I'm sorry I over-reacted like I did during the game, it was quite frustrating as you can imagine.

Second, I'm sorry I've been distant and absent, it was disappointing for me. Things have really worked against me in the past 2 weeks - sickness, work and university. IceQueen is the reason this team could keep going and I owe her hugely. She's a brilliant organiser and a great friend to have. She's had her own recovery to contend with while she organised. It should have been formally stated, but she most definitely became a co-captain of this team. If we take this team into the ozfortress ladder competition, I’d only want to do it if she lead or was co-leader.

Third, Skae and Yellow Dart have also been excellent with all their advice and training. Hvaing their experience was key to us getting to far, in such a short time and I hope they can keep on helping.

Fourth, each time we got together to practice and organise, I’ve been consistently amazed by your attitudes and drive to learn competitive play! It is so refreshing to play with you :)

Now, to address some negative things from tonight:

Yes, disgusting comments were made about women and us. The goods news is is that they are BANNED. It sucks being the target of abuse but comes with the territory. The ozfortress community has bad elements, like all online communities do, and it’s a damn shame they have nothing better to do but to tease and mock others. Thankfully, the admins are awesome and jumped ontop of it as soon as they could.

ALL the senior admins want to apologise. They reacted as swiftly as they could and they can’t control everything that happens, but they tried (and will keep trying) to do their best for the greater good of this community.

1:21 AM - ozfortress wm: all the senior admins at ozf wanted to apologise to you and the girls for the mess tonight

Gaming communities, like TF2 are still adjusting to there being active female players - not ones hiding behind male personas. Things are going to change and this isn’t always going to happen. Stay strong and stay involved. Don't let them chase you away. Get upset, get angry, but remember you have a RIGHT to be here.

Even though there was a heap of negativity from the stv chat, I wouldn’t trade the time we’ve spent together! I had fun every time we trained or even just talked. It’s been exhilarating to work with an all-female team.

I’m proud of you and everything you’ve done.
