So, just to be clear, EA  Valve has introduced Ranked Mann Up servers that are 
unavailable to the heathens game server operators who have years of 
time/experience invested in providing subsidized infrastructure for said games 
in the past.

Awesome, that.

There will be 2 kinds of servers;

1) Official "Mann Up" servers hosted ba Valve going up tonight I guess and you 
gotta pay to play on them

2) Unofficial servers hosted by the community (us)

A full guide on how to accomplish #2 has not been presented yet, however a few
