It's better than fantasy baseball and baseball card collecting while all in the same place! Thanks Valve for an extraordinary game.
Present
Summertime break is finished, and Army of NoochLand is ready for Season 3. Nooch has updated the Army's arsenal with 3 additional gaming machines and currently 253 premium members. Nooch will not participate with Free to Play. Nor will his 500+ refined metal reserve from Season 2 be depleted. Currently, many objectives remain from the The Replay Update, Über Update and Manniversary_Update. As well as, too many Promotions to mention. Lets have at it Men!
History
Nooch is the relentless leader of the Army of NoochLand. The NoochLand members are dedicated to increasing Nooch's collection of Unique Items. Started in December 2009 with 8 recruits for the War! Update, the ranks immediately expanded to 12 members thereafter. The Army's 1st campaign began December 28th. The soldier's fought 24/7 for over 10 weeks straight. Then, on the 73rd day, the Army fulfilled its objectives and secured all 36 Unique Hats available.
Six months later, The Mann-Conomy Update proved to be the next worthy challenge. During both the 119th Update and The Engineer Update, Army of NoochLand was on leave and not active for any summertime months. Nooch quickly depleted his 100+ refined metal reserve trading for hats issued after the Army's original campaign ended, and again completed his collection. Then, Army of NoochLand was called back to duty October 13th.
With an additional 26 members enlisted, the Army's 2nd Tour set it's sights on first, the new Mann-Conomy Update items. Then second, the new Scream Fortress Update items. After 33 days all objectives were complete. In addition, the new Poker Night at the Inventory items were promptly acquired during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Army of NoochLand continued expanding its ranks during Winter 2011. Enrollment grew to 60 members for the Australian Christmas Update. Double Drop-Rate Week proved to be a tremendous success. And, Miss Pauling Stocking Stuffer Key gifts yielded a plethora of hats. Sadly, promotional items have become a regular unexciting occurrence in the TF2 Universe following Australian Christmas. And, in only 3 months Nooch became dissuaded by the pitfalls of Trading.
Begining February, Nooch determined LAN Heat reduced NoochLand home heating oil consumption by more than half in the prior year timeframe. Encouraged by offset electrical costs, Army of NoochLand expanded again to 128 active members and 36 reserves awaiting license. The Army's 2nd Tour is complete, but the quest for more Items continues.
