Partially, VP. Your admirer insisted we do that date, well before our plans were ready, or else he would pull hosting out from underus.
I will explain, I am Joseph of the Black Hand. This is a real Nod, like the Imperial 501st. Our goals are to unite all Nod players under one single banner. Clans would become divisions or armies, people have ranks and positions. A real Nod...
Sadly, our ideas have been hindered, the counter was counting to three things.
1: The C&C3 Demo, which was held back. I probably will get in trouble for even saying this. It was a rumor, a chance. It was suposed to be out, secretly, Jan 30th (Fileplanet later had their demo reserved to this date, further confirming our surce). This never came about.
2: A working forum and website for the Brotherhood.
3: An interview with Joe Kucan, but we never got the nerves up to call him (we have his contact information).
The Brotherhood is real, but for now, you will have to be entertained by 'news' until we can make better progress.
Apologies to those who are disapointed.
