Exactly what the subject line says. Team Canada Online is helping celebrate UFS's third anniversary by encouraging those writers out there to get busy, and make some more UFS content happen.

Catch all the details at:

And if the winning writer does not do a Balrog joke they are less than human.

Are you sure we're not related, Hatman? As soon as I saw the thread title, I thought "Just like Balrog!"

I'll be sure to get started on...something. I've been wanting to do that thing you mentioned anyway...

Ed: HAHAHA. I got a shout-out *sheepish grin*

Skin color says different though. We'd be like the Dudleys of UFS, and nobody wants that.

Homme Chapeau said:

You sure? Cause the Dudleys of ECW & WWE were entertaining.

BTW - Hatman - when are you getting writing for me?

Antigoth said:

Do you seriously want two guys to go get some tables? No, wait, I know the answer to that and it'll rope me into some volunteer work.

As far as writing is concerned... I might enter something for this contest. No idea what to write, though, and with the ShadoWar contest eating away at my brain (just need to finish origins on the second character, then write the up to 1500 story for each, and I'm good to go, all thanks to the extension.) Probably something entitled "Aggro Is Dead. Long Live Aggro."

I stumbled onto something exponentially hilarious awhile back and it needs to be shared with the world.

Church just got paid:

So folks... I ask a question... aparently a bunch of you wrote articles for Vik for a website that probably won't see the light of day any time soon. Where are you? Did you still want those articles published?

Scott Wilding just got paid:

Contest is running for the rest of the month.

We're now starting to see some spoilers that show how set 12 will significantly change the game. If someone wants to write an article for it... it's not hard to write 1000 words about how these changes will impact the game.

Antigoth said:

It is, however, hard to do so in any significant way that will not equate to the standard tripe we're used to seeing on the forums. On that subject, anyway.

Team Canada Online is proud to welcome Team Foxhound's Sir Shajir

http://www.teamcanadaonline.net/index.php?page=199

Shajir has written about a topic near and dear to my heart: Alternate Win Conditions through Exhaustion.

What does all this mean?

Shajir gets paid.

Antigoth said:

grats for his paycheck in cards. No I'm not being facetious.

Welp since nobody else is doing this (or if they are they're being real secretive about it) I guess I'm going to have to do it, but don't come crying to me if people finally figure out "HEY I CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS GUY! I ACTUALLY PROOFREAD MY STUFF AND DON'T DO IT IN A 15 MINUTE RUSH!"

Stacking characters.

It exists... but is seldomly talked about.

Should it be the elephant that sits in the corner?

Team Dodge Step's Steel doesn't think so:

http://www.teamcanadaonline.net/index.php?page=200

And for that...

Steel just got paid.

Antigoth said:

SHHH DON'T GO SPOILING MAH STRATS. Seriously though... another character that begs to be stacked? Zangief.

Wilding returns to the TCO Columnist spotlight:

UFS By the Numbers Part 2: Resources of UFS

This time he focuses on 3 important things to focus on in your deck building!

Hatman wanted to get paid.

So he's issued a battle cry that I think needs to be heard. Do your self a favor... stand in front of Hatman's soapbox for a minute or two:

NJBrock22 just got paid. New players... take a look at the article for some ideas on how to go about deck building an underused character.

So earlier this week a new user dropped into the Q&A to find out more about these loops he had heard about.

Almost on queue, Nubian_God rides in with a solid analysis of loops, and some anti-loop tech;

I am very happy to announce - someone just got paid.

~~~

As an adendum, I still have sufficient quantities of all Six cards to cover another couple of weeks worth of submissions. So if you were saying `eh... he`s probably all out of card X, I shouldn`t bother to submit.' get your `write' on and get paid!

Man, it's like Christmas time over there! So many articles!

And I'm sure that there are more on the way people, right?

first of all thank you Brian for accepting my article, i hope it REALLY helps some newer players to understand that every character, no matter how weak the abilities look at first IS PLAYABLE.

Secondly, i would like everyone to know that i am probably gonna make a small hobby out of making articles like this into guides for those "lesser used" characters and some of the good but overshadowed characters, i hopefully should have my next one up here in a few days if all works out. Again thanks to Brian and all that have looked at my article.

N.J.

I'm like the Coaticook Dairy
I make that cheese, baby

This is awesome beyond belief. Today I told Beard i'm making a makoto deck off of All and he asked me if I saw this article. Now I have <3 Thank you
