  • Hello world,

    I'm prolly most widely known as Mr.Burns_tu, [DC]Mr.Burns or Newb amongst many, MANY others.
    I've been playing for more years than I care to remember. I am [almost] undoubtably the grandad of the bunch and being located in England (unfortunately) I used to regularly haunt the dircon and demon servers. This was a particular culture shock as I was used to playing on a Lan with SV-Maxspeed around 600 instead of 320 so playing on dircondemon was like playing in treacle.

    i spent *many* years playing Q1 mods like Painkeep and DMP so forgive me if I seem a little 'distracted' while playing netQuake or RQ.

    After some years of practice and getting somewhat disenchanted with the 'frag at all costs mentality' I decided to set up the SPC and Q1 netquake servers for a select bunch of like minded peeps to enjoy a 'fair and square' sporting game of quake. At this point I feel I should thank a nice lady player from Holland called Buurvrow, [DC]Sir Henry and [DC]Fodder (both from England) for their invaluable assistance in getting the server up and running in the manner that (as one correspondant put it) 'quake the way it always should have been'.

    These days I tend to hang out (avoiding Polarite ) ) at gchq, shmack, fear and blackhat if anyone fancies a game but please remember that I am old , infirm, have a bad leg and therfore should be very gentle. )


    I'll spare you the piccie's of me in case there are children watching

    Kind regards

    P.S to Lefty and IEEE i did try to canvass the views of some of the european players for a BDA/RQP server but I got zero feedback. Never the less I'll try again in the hope that someone would like to play these mods on a (albeit modest) european server.

    P.P.S other players worthy of mention for reasons of skills, contributions to the quake community, lack of exposure to the US community or just plain personality... Polartite, B4T, Sir Henry, Megaziod, Jackhammer, [DC]Fodder, [DC]Coleslaw, [GC]Mayan, D'Rouen, Nikola, [GC]Mono, [GC]Gaz, trouby, sassa, Dag, Def, S.T.E, Jer, HappySlappy, [DMC]Crunch (for producing Q1 DMP, IEEE/Wifi Man and loaded1mbimage. I'm sure there are more but and apologies if I've missed you, but do a little digging and you'll find them

    • Hi everyone,

      I started playing quake back in 96 on mplayer.com. I was in a few clans and it became a great addiction. lol I was an asskickin' hpb! Anyway, it's been about 5 or 6 years since I've last played and I'm looking to get back into it and having some fun.

                Hello quakers,

                I started playing quake on Mplayer in 99' alias : s7s-hades

                moved to netquake in 2000 , alias : BLUNTZ


                played clanarena daily

                dialup discouraged me after about 3 years I stoped.

                dialup encourages now , to continue to not use hacks. And surprise the low pinging man.

                  fall of 06' i will have wireless 6mb connection

                  See yall then
                  Yeah, dialup wasn't fun playing against cable/DSL users. I can remember patiently waiting for cable in 2002 and being told by a skilled LPB the day before I got cable how bad of a player I was (which was funny because this guy I often could put 35-40 frags up for his 50 despite having 225 ping).

                  Then the next day came

                  Going from dialup to broadband is great.

                      Welcome fridge, nice to hear from players from a different part of the world than the usual.

                              I thought that "fridge" and "warm" was a bad combination...
                              16:03:04 <gb> when I put in a sng, I think I might need nails
                              16:03:30 <gb> the fact that only playtesting tells me that probably means that my mind is a sieve
