QuadQuakers, The History (35 comments)
Posted by Marius`` @ 05:34 CST, 30 March 2004 - iMsg
July 1st, 1999: *Sound of baby crying*: Or around that time, 3 people decided to form a Netquake team, they dubbed it QuadQuakers..
These people named Shadow(USA), Bludgener(USA) and Björn(Holland) started a team that lives until now, one of the older teams still around.
Let's look at what happened shall we..

June 1st 2000: Blastoff: The first recorded match, we may have had some matches before that, but this is the first on the match page, QQ got their asses handed to them by clan Neptune, but the match report promises that it will get better, haw haw :P.

October 4th 2001: Megawar: A tradition was started, having 3/4 teams at the same time play 2v2v2v2, a nice initiative, 4 of those were eventually held, with QQ winning 2 I think :) wp gg lads :D

January 24th 2002: Quake 3 Arena, TDM: Yes you've read it right, the true calling of clan QuadQuakers took a hold of us that day, with our very first Quake 3 team game.
QuadQuakers vs Team Fire, lineup: Cr0zz, Geds, Mop and Systemkrash got beaten by ONE frag on pro-q3dm6, 126-127 (losing close games is a QQ tradition we've kept in honour until this very day), and getting beaten 77-117 on q3dm7, But it was a nice start for our first team game :)

A while after our start at Quake 3 we got accepted in the barrysworld TDM league, division 5.
I'll leave the dates from here on.

Not having too good a start to the league, we didnt really have high hopes on winning anything that season, but it turned out differently.
The breaking moment in the season was our greatest result ever, with us taking our first ever, and only map off No Visible Remorse.

We got promoted, Division 4, here we come!

May 2nd 2002: Yours truly vs QQ: At that time I was captain of a small and rather unsuccessfull TDM clan called Intoxicated Flesh (hello lads!), looking for practice games we stumbled into QQ, and decided we'd give them a go.

QQ Lineup: Cr0zz, Geds, Mop, Psyco(Zion Merc), Dan-_- (over 2 maps)
IxF Lineup: Kikster, R3wd, LaZyDoG, Kikster, Lunx (over 2 maps).

We got well beaten, but yet had a fun time vs QQ, and from that moment on I was furniture in their channel :)

After that QQ took up freezetag, we played one season in the BWFT league, which turned out shite cuz we got placed in a division about 372371371237123 times our strength!
But, FT would certainly later prove to be a big influence for us, more on that when it matters :)

July 2nd 2002: IxF vs QQ, the last IxF game ever: This was supposed to be just a practice game, and it was..Apart from the fact my little child IxF folded soon after this game, which was a shame..and left me clanless.
A good game none the less :)

July 11th 2002: QuadQuakers goes CTF, The legacy begins!: QuadQuakers starts off with CTF, our first game vs Clan UK is a fact, and a win right away, happy joy!


In the mean time, yours truly had joined the friendly lads over at Clan Zion, nowadays known for the great movie, and we played QuadQuakers in the BW TDM league, and basically kicked their asses, which was nice :D
Still, after some time Zion fell apart, and I was yet again orphaned :(

November 5th 2002: Yours truly (DeXteR) Makes his debut: After skillfully bluffing my way into QuadQuakers and lying about my skills I was finally accepted to join their ranks, my official QQ tagged debut was a fact vs Unknown Quantity or uQu as they call themselves, from this moment on I called #quadquakers on quakenet my home \o/

This was one of our strongest periods in the QQ History, Our clanlist in this period and a bit after sported big names such as: aRnz, KaZ, Para, Viol, Beetle and the rest of the gang was basically hidden behind these, we went on to win Barrysworld division 4a TDM and nearly promote from CTF division 3, things were looking good until 'The Icelandic Connection' was cut, and Para, KaZ and Arnz left us :(

Next TDM season was one big defeat, without our top class players we got blown out of the water, and quickly routed to the bottom of the division and back down to division 4, after which we played 2 more seasons of BW TDM division 5, and quit TDM shortly after

February 19th 2003: Freezetag CB division 2, go!:
This was the kickoff to our finest season ever in any league, we won 2-1 in maps vs ERZ, the map we lost vs ERZ was the only we lost in this division, and we went on to beat Clan Dirty Rotten Imbeciles in the final by 3-0, wp by us.
A short while later we also won BW division 3 freezetag, and quit this mod forgood soon after :)


June 9th 2003: Cloud 9 Connected, The American friendship: A tradition started this day as Mark (cl0ck) Joined QuadQuakers to play some european leagues for us besides his regular schedule for Cloud 9, doing quite well indeed, He didnt stay for long, only 6 months or so, but he sure made an impression on how we play CTF today :)

This is the last piece of QuadQuakers history, At this moment we are active in Jolt and Clanbase Q3 CTF leagues, we have members from 7 different countries.

From Poland there's Martin aka Metoda
From Sweden there's Chris aka Manglarn
From Holland there are: Björn aka Björn, Marius aka DeXteR and Ruben aka Jehuty
From the USA there's Bryan aka Dynomite
From England there are: Richard aka Quicksilver, Michael aka Tapley, Ollie aka Breeze, Andrew aka Light and Matt aka Monk
From Scotland we have Chris aka Nikon
And last, but certainly not least from Germany, Mathias aka muRdoc

This is our current team.

Finally I'd like to thank some of our influential members from the past, some of which i've had the pleasure of playing with, others I know only from the site, big props to:

Bludgener, Shadow and Magnum for starting things up :)

From England I'd like to thank: Katteh, Beetle, Mop, LiFe, Morphy, Ballast, Alienated and cr0ssfire
From Iceland I'd like to thank: Para, KaZ, aRnz and Reyn1r
From the USA I'd like to thank: cl0ck

Also a big shoutout to all the clans we've played in the past, you know who you are!!!

Peace!

CXG: Behind closed doors (by cl0ck) (251 comments)
Posted by cl0ck @ 09:44 CST, 12 January 2004 - iMsg
High hopes and aspirations for potentially one of the best tournaments of our time were floating in the air of a small apartment in Boston, Massachusetts where I and cha0ticz prepared for the Cyber X-Games.

How wrong we were…

Game after game we played, practicing hard, playing the maps we haven’t played in so long with admiration to soar to the top of the event we were about to attend. Our games were on; we were playing really good, close games on all maps with full strategic knowledge banks.

But would this help us any at CXG? Nope, infact we should have been practicing playing on 3-4 hours sleep at 8am in the morning rather then the maps themselves.

Read on to see how the days progressed.

    This is a collection of guides and articles covering almost everything you need to know to get started in promode team deathmatch. We'll be going over some of the basics like configs and movement, and some more in-depth stuff like knowing the maps and tactics.

    But before we go on you've got to have the game and mod installed; so if you haven't already, get the latest quake 3 arena point release from here and the full promode package from here, now you're all set for some team deathmatch action.

    Please note this guide was originally tailored for 1.1 and since the newer release has changed some of the gameplay ideas of it, not everything will be relevant anymore.

    page 1 - configs - tweaking your config for cpm
    page 2 - movement - learning how to fly, literally
    page 3 - basics - some handy tdm tips and tricks
    page 4 - tactics - cpm4, cpm18i and cpm21 tactics

    CXG's Recon Interviewed (65 comments)
    Posted by Carmac @ 18:13 CDT, 2 August 2003 - iMsg
    I have interviewed Recon the co-founder of Cyber X Gaming, a growing threat to the CPL for the position of the leading gaming organisation in the US. CXG are planning to give away $600,000 in cash and prizes in the first year of their activity - more than any other event organiser. Recon has been involved in an unpleasant incident at CPL Summer. We've had a talk about that and CXG in general. Here's a snip:

    Well Q3 is still a possiblity. We fear that QuakeCon will have a problem running a Q3 tourney. We are still trying to get some things worked out on that port. Personally I would give it a 50 to 50 percent chance of it being added to the event. We would like to see some support from the community on this matter in our forums located at www.cyberxgaming.com/forums .

    gaming addiction... your thoughts (59 comments)
    Posted by simonb @ 03:26 CDT, 16 May 2003 - iMsg
    Hi guys,

    Im doing an art project on game addiction - the end result will be a film documenting players at a 3 day LAN (including me).

    Was wondering if u guys could help send me some thoughts on this issue.

    Do u feel addicted to gaming? Have u ever tried to quit?

    Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

    I ask cos I'm looking to add a series of quotes from this thread to the film. When its done I'll upload it to esr.

    I'm not focusing on any games in particular, but so far ive looked into rpg games like EverQuest. One site of particular interest to me is http://www.nickyee.com/eqt/

    thanks in advance

    Interview: female caster trillian (136 comments)
    Posted by sizah @ 17:57 CST, 28 February 2003 - iMsg
    I heard her for this first time during the ESReality Online tournament, she casted the gopher-fox match and I was really surprised on the way she did it , a female caster, who knows alot and she also knows whatever she talks about. She is one of my favourite casters already and I can't wait to hear her casting the ESReality Online finals.

    I had an interview with one of the only female esport caster, her name is Alison better known on the net as trillian, as a caster of the Team Sportcast Network. Trillian did the ESReality Online tournament, she amazed many of us with her casting skills. In this interview I talk with her about "her and shoutcasting", if casting games is really that easy as people think. This and many more in this interview with TsN's United States of America trillian.

    Never heard a casted game of her? click on this link. This is a list of casted matches during the ESo.

    WCG USA 2002 (q3) (82 comments)
    Posted by if-22 @ 15:59 CDT, 6 October 2002 - iMsg
    The WCG USA qualifier has just come to an end!

    After all the commotion and waiting time, WCG USA finally can present us the final rankings! This years winner is Socrates, followed by Daler who finished second. After a exciting match, fatal1ty didn't made it to the WCG finals in Korea because he lost versus cha0ticz. I guess he can blame it on the 1 map pro round system. Anyhows, good luck to the 3 winners! You can check all scores and rankings below. Socrates will now face ZeRo4 in an exhibition match! I was just told that this match is being played after the counter-strike finals, but it is also possible that WCG USA has decided not to play it.

    Big thanks to Speakeasy.net , Killersinc.com and Gamedaemons.net for offering us good quality GTV.
    And ofcourse we shouldn't forget TsN (DJWheat and others) who covered the event with their excellent shoutcast.
    They are still on air, so I suggest you tune in while you still can.
    By the way, I found some pictures!


    *The following happened before the final games.*
    First are the results from the group stage. Some interesting scores, to say the least.

    It seemed clear, the first 2 from each group would go to the final 4 stage. But then the following happened: ZeRo4 decided to step out of the tournament because he just found out his trip IS being payed by WCG Korea. So now things are a bit messed up.
    However, WCG USA decided to let Makaveli and fatal1ty (both finished third in their group) play a best of three deciders match to decide who will get the last spot into the final 4 stage. And last but not least, the WCG USA winner will play ZeRo4 in an exhibition match!! Exciting and interesting stuff going on there.
