This journal thingy caters primarily, if not only, to Danish Quake Live players, so feel free to skip the read and post a hilarious comment, if you aren't one of those.

The thing is, Quake Live is getting fun (oh no, he didn't), and it's always more fun when you have someone to do it with, and, for some reason, it's also more fun when these people talk your native language. This last fact drove us to create the Danish quake3newb community which some of you might know about, and now we're trying to do the same thing with Quake Live.

Therefore, this community is based around IRC and, in particular, #quakelive.dk, and will have several goals. One of the more natural ones is to attract some attention to the game; we have tried to increase the activity by doing the usual stuff: Making a base for pickup matches of all sorts as well as friendly conversation. To complement this, we created a (cool) homepage, located now at live.quake3.dk which includes a player database for Danish players as well as a customly created ladder system for those wanting to compete against each other. Also, since everybody likes awards, you can get some of those on the site too!

Now, what kept quake3newb alive was the amount of duel tournaments hosted; hopefully, we can continue to host such tournaments and, in fact, the first (rather small) one will take place tomorrow evening (Sunday) at 19:00 CEST. In order to create a strong user base for a game with limited marketing (up till now, anyway, we of course realize that this is still a game in development), we have to appeal to newbies. As for now, we can probably all agree that the game is not exactly newbie friendly, and we will continue our ambition from quake3newb to try to help newbies get into the game as well as organize tournaments for skill impaired players.

So, feel free to have a look.
