The IP is 208.228.136.9

Start the roundup. We're finished with our little war against {GDI} so it'll
be nice having someone else to gib. You see anyone with an [SS] or [TFX] on
the server, just tell them why you're there.

Hell...I think even the {GDI} guys would like someone new to beat on for a
change, so you might want to hook up with them too.
