SA's Official Body Continues To Have Sustainable Growth.
 |
| All affiliated clubs have the ability to affect every aspect of MSSA's administration. |
Since the founding of MSSA 212 clubs have affiliated. Some of the clubs have had the staying power and have been members right from the beginning, whereas others do not have the staying power. The lack of staying-power can often be ascribed to clubs not having the proper structures to enable hand-over from outgoing to incoming committees.
Where clubs are based on an individual, the club may not survive. It seems as though clubs without proper structures only seem to have a three to five year life expectancy.
Thus clubs based at established institutions seem to have a greater chance of surviving through the years and being able to deal with those unexpected events.
MSSA, with over 30 years under its belt, has seen many clubs, organisations, and operators come-and-go.
At MSSA's annual General Meeting held in December 2019, MSSA accepted no less than a further 23 clubs into full membership.
Such clubs now all enjoy all the rights of full membership and are now able to help steer MSSA and help all the disciplines (Board Games, Card Games, Esports, and Wargames) grow.
The clubs accepted into membership are:
| # | NAME |
| 1 | AHS Sasolburg |
| 2 | Boo Games |
| 3 | Curro Heritage House |
| 4 | Curro Krugersdorp |
| 5 | Curro Mosselbay |
| 6 | Curro Mount Richmore |
| 7 | Curro Secunda |
| 8 | Edenvale High School |
| 9 | HeronBridge College |
| 10 | Hoerskool Klerksdorp |
| 11 | Hoerskool Randburg |
| 12 | Hope Fountain Combined |
| 13 | Innovation Village Esports |
| 14 | Level 1 Gaming |
| 15 | MAD Esports |
| 16 | Makgofe Slaughters Mind Sports Club |
| 17 | Norman Henshilwood High School |
| 18 | Pyromania |
| 19 | Raving Mad Gamerz |
| 20 | Redhill High School |
| 21 | Royal Knights |
| 22 | Sigma eFootball |
| 23 | Tea Cup Clan |

Bidding Farewell.
 |
| Amanda Pakade (MSSA President) with Amone Bekker. |
The person who holds this position has to represent the aims, wishes, and desires of the gamers in order to ensure that the players are not overlooked in the decision-making process. Such Player Represenntative, must therefore owe greater loyalty to the players than to any club affiliation.
Unfortunately the incumbent, Amoné Bekker, is unable to see out her duties dur to personal reasons.
MSSA is sad to see her depart, but realises that it is necessary, as she would not be able to fulfill her duties from a far-and-distant country.
Those who have held, and excelled in such office are:
- Amoné Bekker (Valhalla)
- Jason Batzofin (Old Edwardian Mind Sports Club)
- Jonathan Newman (Matitzburg Griffins)
- Amanda Pakade (nee Kwaza) (University of Johannesburg)
The position can thus be seen as a stepping stone to greater things.
MSSA will thus co-opt a person to serve in the position, until elections are held at MSSA's 2020 General Meeting.
The criteria to stand for the position of Athletes' Representative are:
- The Player's Representative shall have Protea Colours, and
- The Player's Representative shall have represented South Africa in an International Competition, and
- The Player's Representative shall not be over 30 years of age at the time of such election.

Trees And Terrain
I actually finished all of these in the last week of June, but scheduled this post to come up later for some reason. Anyway, one of the things I have been pushing out lately is a good bit of terrain. Mostly adding to existing stocks because I don't have enough trees and such.
A tray full of trees!
I use this cheap plastic tray to carry minis and spray them with clear coat. Then I can move them back into the air conditioned spaces in the house to keep the clear coat from getting all cloudy as happens in humid conditions. Like Houston is, eight days a week.
Bamboo stands. Need a lot more of these, not as tall mostly.
Primarily for 15mm jungles, Flames of War Pacific, etc.
Regular old deciduous trees. Just some cheap Chinese
model railroad trees and basing.
Same as above, but palm trees in the desert.
Again, need to do more for jungles too.
Flowering model railroad trees.
These are a bit different to my usual. Wire trunks.
I like them. Mostly I like a bit of variety.
Runestones from Fenris Games. Unlike the earlier ones painted for Frostgrave, these are two in
a temperate/verdant scheme and one in a desert.
A third Team Yankee minefield and emergence tunnels for the giant worms I shared a few days ago.

The Digital Media program at Georgia Tech is now accepting applications at the Master's and Ph.D. levels.
The Digital Media graduate program at Georgia Tech is a multidisciplinary program that engages students in making with meaning in digital media through their own discipline, skills, and expertise. Students here from the humanities, engineering, technology, and the arts backgrounds all engage in collaborative, practice-based work where they learn and apply design methods and critical theory in studio courses that are focused on having a voice--or giving a voice to others--through digital media.
They offer both a two year intensive Master's degree and a Ph.D. in Digital Media, working with leading researchers that touch on topics such as civic media, game design, smart cities, interactive installation, augmented & virtual reality, computational creativity, and STEAM-based education.
They host multiple online events to inform those interested in the program. More information and RSVP is available through our website: http://dm.lmc.gatech.edu/. The upcoming application deadlines for Fall 2019 are Dec. 10th, 2018, for the Ph.D. program and Jan. 8th, 2019 for the Master's program.
Students interested in visiting the campus can do so during our open house event on January 18, 2019. RSVP here.
If you have any further questions about the program and admission process, please contact me or the Associate Director Michael Terrell directly at dgs@lmc.gatech.edu.
How PUBG Become Famous?
While playing PUBG, you might have wondered a question about how PUBG become famous in India or even in the whole world within a very short period of time! So today we are going to find the answer to it.
https://sudragamer.blogspot.com/?m=1
The above question can be answered in the following points :
1. Freely available :
India is one of the countries which doesn't like to invest in games when the apps are paid. PUBG did that thing right by making this app free with in-app purchases in terms of Royale Pass (RP) which is shown at the start of the match.
2. TV advertisements:
You might have seen the ads for PUBG mobile on TV. This was the only game after Angry Birds to do so. So people who weren't in touch with the smartphone also got to know about it.
3. Live stream from Youtube :
Youtube plays a significant role in making PUBG famous. Many gamers /streamers from youtube brought it to their channel to get attention, thereby advertising the game.
4. Game quality :
PUBG is a highly addictive game. Here every match is a different experience. The game graphics impress every player that plays it. Overall PUBG has become a society where modern day people come to spend their leisure time.
5. Entry of Jio :
Jio has brought digitization in India. It made data rates very cheap and also plays a very important role in the success of the game.
The internet connection in PUBG could not be possible without Jio.
All the above-given points together combined gives the answer to the question that how PUBG become famous.
Are you satisfied with the answer? Please let us know by adding a comment to this post. Also, share the link

Brave Browser the Best privacy-focused Browser of 2019
Out of all the privacy-focused products and apps available on the market, Brave has been voted the best. Other winners of Product Hunt's Golden Kitty awards showed that there was a huge interest in privacy-enhancing products and apps such as chats, maps, and other collaboration tools.
An extremely productive year for Brave
Last year has been a pivotal one for the crypto industry, but few companies managed to see the kind of success Brave did. Almost every day of the year has been packed witch action, as the company managed to officially launch its browser, get its Basic Attention Token out, and onboard hundreds of thousands of verified publishers on its rewards platform.
Luckily, the effort Brave has been putting into its product hasn't gone unnoticed.
The company's revolutionary browser has been voted the best privacy-focused product of 2019, for which it received a Golden Kitty award. The awards, hosted by Product Hunt, were given to the most popular products across 23 different product categories.
Ryan Hoover, the founder of Product Hunt said:
"Our annual Golden Kitty awards celebrate all the great products that makers have launched throughout the year"
Brave's win is important for the company—with this year seeing the most user votes ever, it's a clear indicator of the browser's rapidly rising popularity.
Privacy and blockchain are the strongest forces in tech right now
If reaching 10 million monthly active users in December was Brave's crown achievement, then the Product Hunt award was the cherry on top.
The recognition Brave got from Product Hunt users shows that a market for privacy-focused apps is thriving. All of the apps and products that got a Golden Kitty award from Product Hunt users focused heavily on data protection. Everything from automatic investment apps and remote collaboration tools to smart home products emphasized their privacy.
AI and machine learning rose as another note-worthy trend, but blockchain seemed to be the most dominating force in app development. Blockchain-based messaging apps and maps were hugely popular with Product Hunt users, who seem to value innovation and security.
For those users, Brave is a perfect platform. The company's research and development team has recently debuted its privacy-preserving distributed VPN, which could potentially bring even more security to the user than its already existing Tor extension.
Brave's effort to revolutionize the advertising industry has also been recognized by some of the biggest names in publishing—major publications such as The Washington Post, The Guardian, NDTV, NPR, and Qz have all joined the platform. Some of the highest-ranking websites in the world, including Wikipedia, WikiHow, Vimeo, Internet Archive, and DuckDuckGo, are also among Brave's 390,000 verified publishers.
