We received over 60 emails in response to last months application request. Rest assured, I received and read all your applications, as did every active moderator. If you emailed us in June and your name is not in the above list, it is for one of two reasons.
1) Your were not a suitable candidate for Ambassador.
2) You were a suitable candidate for Ambassador, but we cannot add you at this time due to volume. (IE: Accepting more than 10 Ambassadors at time would be one too many.)
I ask that everyone who sent an application in June not to question any moderator as to which category you fall into, whether they will be added at a later date, or in any way pressure a moderator to accept them.
I also ask you not to disparage the candidates who were accepted. Should you fall under reason/category 2, doing any of the above may negatively impact your chances of becoming a future Ambassador.
More Awesome News!

Quote For those interested, it is now possible to host Dedicated Servers in SFX.
To start one, simply direct your web browser to:
http://Dedicated.XvsSF.com
Once you have confirmed that the game is loading, simply minimize the browser window and "walk away". The Dedicated Server will start automatically. It will also configure and tailor itselto your Internet connection and computer specifications, as well as auto-update and/or restart as needed.
Since a Dedicated Server displays no 3D graphics, its performance will be depended directly on the CPU of the computer where it is hosted. As such, it is recommended that your run the server on a 2GHZ+ system with a wired (I.E.: non-wireless) Internet connection. (The graphical performance of your computer does NOT matter. Even if you can only run the game in the "Lowest" quality setting, this should be more than enough for a Dedicated host).
Since the purpose of a Dedicated Server is to provide a stable multiplayer environment for other players, the best performance can only be achieved on a high-speed Internet connection with an approximate upload rate of 2mbits (~200KBytes/sec) for a 10 player game, and roughly 1mbit upload (~100KBytes/sec) for a 6 player game. Running a server in a shared and/or wireless environment with frequent file downloads or video streaming is NOT advised (since any extra bandwidth usage inside your network will most likely create Lag-Spikes for the players who have joined your server).
If you are sure that your computer and Internet specifications meet the above requirements (or better yet, if you have already proven yourself to be able to host a stable 8-10 player game for hours on end), then running a Dedicated Server could be right for you.
Note that the first time you run the game in Dedicated mode your Max Player limit will be set to 4, but after a few hours of lag-free hosting your Dedicated Server will be automatically upgraded to host 6, 8 and 10 player games (assuming that your Internet connection is able to handle it).
Next Up: More Dedicated features (such as remote-control of the server by it’s designated owner). However, such features can only be implemented once the stability of the Dedicated hosting has been proven by multiple users.

Before shocking us all with his last destructive actions in this community, former NWO system 4 started the Ambassador program a few months ago.
Well, the Ambassador Program is going on its third month, and TMyApp and the mod team have been very pleased with the Ambassadors' work. They have been helpful with watching the servers when moderators are not active; catching cheaters of various sorts, and reporting inappropriate behavior.
Thanks for all your hard work gal and guys.
If you'd like to join our current roster of SFO/SFX Ambassadors, and are an active, capable, dedicated member of the community willing to help out in-game or on the forum whenever you can, read on.
Brief summary of your job description:
Quote The SFO Ambassadors are basically here to help shape up the future of SFO and to assist the community whenever help is needed when the staff isn't around. Quote Please be aware:
- They have the ability to report cheaters/hackers and receive response from the staff quicker than anyone else.
- Help out with future events made by the staff.
- Test new future TMC content, etc before anyone else.
If you can't happen to find a staff member in-game/forum , please send one of the Ambassadors a P.M. and they shall forward your message to us.. 70% of time, it will be faster than the Contact a Mod feature.
If you have a problem with one of the Ambassadors, please send one of the staff members a P.M. and will try to solve something.
Requirements to Apply:
- Great experience with SFO. Must have considerable knowledge about SFO/SFX, and be willing to learn what you don't know. The game mechanics, staff, players, etc etc.
- Must be an active in-game player. Quitting for a long period of time (over a year?) and coming back doesn't count.
- Must be willing to give a decent amount (how much is up to you) of your free time to others.
- Must show respect to all members, have self-discipline and show self-control, and must be able to follow rules.
- Must have a PX Forum Account. Since TMyApp drops by once in a while to speak directly to Ambassadors/address a topic, the Official Ambassador forum only exists on PX.
Include the following questions, with your honest answers, in an email addressed to TitaniumFist@streetfighteronline.com with the subject "SFO Ambassador Program Application":
1.) What is your SFO In-game Name?
2.) What is your SFX In-game Name?
3.) What is your PX Forum Name?
4.) How long have you been playing SFO? And what about SFX?
5.) Why do you feel you should become an Ambassador?
Your answers will be looked over by all active mods who wish to view them. The IGNs and Forum Name you specify will not be changed. Choose wisely.
Any applications sent to the wrong email, or PMed to me or any moderator on any forum will be ignored. Use the email specified.

Yeah, it's my turn now :biggrin:
For those who don't know, or hadn't noticed. TMy pulled another ninja-like promotion for one of our staff members. And of course, the man promoted was the most deserving of this title, he's proven this time and time again.
I was under the impression that the SysOp position was a position that couldn't be reached, I thought wrong.
So everyone, give a grand round of applause to TitaniumFist, joining the ranks of TMyApp, Nferno666, Blanka09 and Leftyfb.
His new powers will definitely darken the sky of SFX and SFO and he will definitely use his Titanium Fist to wield that Ban Hammer of Justice.
Congrats man!
