MNB: unfair random brutality

Bloody Sunday is Up!

Wake up private! Been a while since the Bloody Sunday comics were featured in the news, but they still have been posted by the Editor in Chief Lance for the past few weeks.

Nevertheless, we got another special one today - not from the user-suggested thread, so it's some new content. You can go see it here.

Be sure to check out The War Room for the latest updates on community happenings.

Dismissed!

Xmas 2012 Newsletter

While everyone has been out enjoying their holidays, a certain group of people known as the newsroom editors have been working to put together one last newsletter packed with interesting features and good humor to seal 2012 for good.

Head over here to check out their work and please take a moment to share your impressions and show them your appreciation!

That is all for this year. Peace to you all -- over and out.

Mud and Blood Halloween Newsletter is Out!

Boy oh boy! It's that time of year again when the lights come way down low and ghouls, ghosts, and goblins start roaming the halls! (and maybe if you're lucky you got some free candy) Of course, it's Halloween! The newsroom staff has been hard at work delivering another special edition newsletter for Halloween, which you may peruse here. In addition, some intelligence reports from our scouts are mentioning some new Nazi weapon - a zoologically omnipotent manslaying brain ingesting elder (ZOMBIE, for short) heading our way. You should keep your soldiers on their toes.

Late Summer Newsletter

Ten-hut! Alright, at ease! Just checking.

It's been a while since the last newsletter, so it is high time for a roundup of what happened with the community in these past months. Brought to you by our Deputy Editor in Chief, Lance, a small staff of editors and the members of our great community:

Contests and more contests!

First of all, this month Mud and Blood 2 has turned 4 and, if you've been keeping your duties at all, you will have already received the Anniversary Ribbon which requires you to hold the enemy back for 100 waves. If you haven't... you're lucky that Allied Command is looking the other way right now. Get your stuff together by September 8th!

Now, if you're having difficulties in fulfilling your mission, help is at hand. Right now, all of six beginner guides lay before you for your inspection in our latest strategy contest for starter guides compatible with the current 2.3 patch.

What's that you say, the German war machine is not tough enough for you? Alright Hercules, what would you have them bring to the battlefield? Put your pride where your mouth is and send us your specifications through the Axis unit modeling contest.

After the battle is done, it's time to sit down with your brothers-in-arms and let off the tension trading jokes over a hot meal. Our last few Bloody Sunday cartoons have all featured captions that were suggested and then voted on by the community. This week's no different, with the exception that the cartoon itself has been drawn by one of our fellow squad commanders, xdarkcodex. Vote on the best caption before next Sunday and check back next week where we'll have another picture waiting for the right wisecracks to make a solid match.

So that's enough contests. Stay on top of the day-to-day events with our novel Blitz News feature, located in the Announcements forum. Additionally, our Summer 2012 Community Newsletter will be coming soon with interesting articles and noteworthy happenings in our community.

Until then, over and out!

Bloody Sunday Drawing Contest

This Sunday we've uploaded another Bloody Sunday cartoon, which you can view by clicking here. It is the second one to feature a caption chosen in a contest between forum members.

Now it's time to take the contesting further. All you URB-loving artists out there are called upon to draw a cartoon by yourselves following the theme and general guidelines contained in this thread.

The unartistically inclined can then look upon them with an air of disinterest and casually pass down their condescending judgement. The surviving entry will then have a caption-writing contest for it. See, there's something for everyone!

MnB.net Site Anniversary!

Sorry on the belated news article, but I'm glad to inform you that mudandblood.net has officially turned 2! (now it's a toddler!)

Thanks to the ongoing consideration, dedication, and facilitation of our site's loyal user base, it's been a wonderfully productive two years at this muddy, bloody, random, and brutal core of the interwebs.

To commemorate this anniversary, the editors have created a special edition newsletter, jam-packed with not 1, not 2, but 3 in-game unit analyses, a discussion of the name Bloody Sunday, an analysis of the term "Jerry," and an article about this site's statistics since its inception: June 8, 2010. You can view it here.

In other news going on around here, 2 (rather antithetical to each other) new forums have opened up for the public to use: The Hall of Honor and the Brig. Enjoy!

In addition, Bloody Sundays have started a resurgence (we all liked them, didn't we?) under the watchful eye of Lance. Some changes to the system have been made, including the ability for you to choose the Bloody Sunday caption! All is better explained in this thread. But, alas, if it is the current Bloody Sunday you seek, look no further than here, for it is ready!

Bloody Sunday and Newsletter!

Hello commanders! It's that time of the month again when we unveil our newsletter and announce all the contest winners. But first, take a quick break to look at the new Bloody Sunday comic.

Now, you may view the newsletter here, which includes:

A Paratrooper Analysis
An Upcoming Site Feature
The winner of the modeling contest
The winner of the Guide of the Month

As always, stay tuned for the new contest, newsletter, Bloody Sundays, Game of the Week, and more!

Bloody Sunday and Contest News

First of all, let's start with the Bloody Sunday this week, which you may find here.

Onto other news now!

Our contests had encountered quite a lack of submissions this month, and the first ever Special Edition Guide of the Month was won by default by the only competitor, Deathbringer23.

Our second contest, the Google SketchUp Barracks modeling contest saw a bit more submissions, but it is still at only 2 entries (which will win 1st and 2nd place by default). If you want to help the site out, submit your model today, since the contest ends in less than a week!

Bloody Sunday and Contests

It's that time of the week again, commanders - yep, you guessed it, the Bloody Sunday! You can see today's Bloody Sunday here.

In other news, the Google SketchUp contest is about half over now, and still no full submissions (although I have heard some people having models done). It would be nice not to let someone win automatically, so start working on it! The thread can be found here. Submissions end officially January 28th, but can end earlier if need be.

The other main contest that is up now is the Special Edition Guide of the Month - Paradrop Challenge. Submit your paradrop challenge guide before Saturday, December 21, and be the winner of the first ever Special Edition GotM.
