A couple days after the last matches of the Duel Summer League 2011 (Congratulations to

Guismo12!) and the TDM Country Championship 2011 were played, the European Quakelive section just announced new competitions for Quakelive. The Autumn League 2011 will feature both TDM and CTF!

Both Leagues will run the same. Depending on the sign ups, divisions will be made. Each team plays each other once and at the end, the team which ends first is our Autumn winner! The Autumn League Award will be given to the mode for which the most teams signed up! See the sign up pages for CTF and TDM.

Slipgate Report #7 (10 comments)

( Major News: Q1)

Posted by !phil @ 10:39 CDT, 9 October 2011 - iMsg

We talk with

VVD about playing and coding Quake from a Russian perspective. Some of the show is in Russian, but I translate everything. Also the format is shorter - trying to keep it to 30 mins.

There are some awkward pauses when English becomes too difficult for our guest, but I think it is worth it to get an interesting point of view from one of the older and more experienced Quakers - both in the game and in the code.

VVD is an old school quaker who has contrinbuted to KTX (quakeworld's official tournament mod, akin to OSP for quake3) and EZQuake (quakeworld's official modern client) and even MVDSV (quakeworld's official server software) is an all-around FreeBSD nerd, as well as a top notch player (although he won't admit it)

Follow and cheer VVD on in duelmania! And heed his final words, which I may not have translated 100% - play quake for fun every now and then, don't worry about quitting it!
