Slightly enhanced version of what's in news.txt:
--Map with new castle design is in! This castle is more like the original battle drome castle plus it is even better for base fighting play.
Thanks to all those that brainstormed ideas, especially wobit, Axe Demento, and Capt. ARGH! Please give feedback here:

--JACKPOT Reward formula has changed! Previously, every freq member would get the full reward,
now it is effectively split between them: rewardPoints * freqsize / numberOfTeamMembers
--Master of Chaos was won by Static Burn when, 17 minutes into the final round, he greened shields, and JOCKER charged. Congrats!
--Master of Chaos rule change going forward:
During the first minute of the final round, all greens will disappear.
This keeps the event true to Chaos Dueling which often occurs at the edge of the map, where there are no greens. It will also discourage endless running and greening during the final round.
--Tuesday Feb 7th saw the highest Chaos population at any time since early 2009. We hit 39 players, and had >30 playing for about an hour around 10pm ET. Many heavy turrets, hunt freqs, but still no squads swarming/owning specific map areas. In any event -- good stuff!
