I've heard the controversy here and there on what a llama actually is?
Well, I found an old article and put the pages together. Here is what it said..
Oct 26th,2000
It all started in mid 1997. Our clan, a group of happy-go-lucky pukes, had
been dominating local servers with superior play, firepower and teamwork.
Like all good things it came to in with the arrival of the hacked "stooge
bot".
The stooge bot was the articially intelligent bot, under player control, for
the Quake game. Being HPBs (High Ping Bastards) we had no hope against this
monster. Quickly our clan was demoralized. We had no chance to compete.
Sitting around one day I, sulking overy my Quake losses I realized that all
I needed to even odds was my own stooge bot. Sure enough, after perusing
enough warez download sites I was able to find a hacked stooge. This is hand
I decided to do two things.
1) Start using it to thwart other bots.
2) Turn to the evil side. The LLama was born.
We started playing on our local servers. We harrassed other bot users, we
stormed into servers en masse and dominated them. We made annoying comments,
we pissed people off. They sent us hate mail- we ate it. We named our selves
the LLamas. Llamas are truly nasty animals. They spit on you, their of foul
temperament, etc. Ask any sheepherder. No one wants a llama.
I realized at this point that if cheats weren't made public, game designers
were not going to patch their games. So, in llama fashion, we started
getting the stooge out to everyone we could. Mailing it, posting its
location during games, passing it out at pep rallies, things like that.
We certainly never intended for Clan LLama to get large, but it happened. We
never meant to start a cheating movement- but it happened. We never expected
people to do rip off sites, but they did- hey their cheaters... Really this
was all done in jest and it grew from there. We are still trying to sort out
the mess from years ago.
We set our expectations low. We realized that most people were just low life
scum looking for a fast way to cheat. That was cool with us. We were scum
too.
Then amazing things started to happen. Other peckerheads came out of the
woodwork. People sent us fan mail, people claimed to be the Dali Llama.
LLamism: Thus llamaism was born. Llamas are the lowest of low. Total
scumbags. We know and frankly we don't care.
The Future. After tripod shutdown our site (and we got it back up), we moved
it to a pay server. But the bandwidth required to serve up files to leeches,
cheaters, etc was immense. Cheaters aren't the best customers and frankly
cheating is not the most profitable of sites. So we have now teamed up with
blah-blah to help us get the resources to serve up our garbage and perhaps
make some spare change to buy.....games...yeah...games.
Content: We do plan on covering game cheats, but frankly we want to move on.
There are a lot of better sites out there that produce some damn good
cheats. If you do have a quality game cheating site let us know- we are
happy to send traffic your way. Also we tired of doing the same shit...we
have to move on and spread the gospel of left-handed play everywhere. So
yes- we are making content changes.
Note: Some people have asked about the Flash animations...are they legal?
Can we do that? Hell yes we can. It is called parody and it is your
constitutional right. As long as it is clearly parody it is A-OK to do it.
For example we could make fun of Mr. Rogers, but we cannot make fun of say-
You. Unless of course your famous. Then we can and probably will.
Peace to You All,
LLama Force
