Archived News  3/6/98 - 30/10/98  

On the UKCCL front, DzR won on Tuesday in Divison 4b, while the clan that beat them in week 1 (KAM) seem to have disbanded/merged or something. Most strange as they were a good clan. Max's clan (of I shot in the arse badge fame), Dark Forces (DF), had a stomping good win way way way way way waaaaaaay down in Div 5 something.  
 

Just a wee word for the Edge, who have a review of the game on their site. These guys are keen. They had a reporter in #hiv during the match and wouldn't stop hassling us after the match until we gave them a report. Fair play to the lads. 
 

LMCTF, Tournament Edition 
 

A game of strategy where men are men and sheep are scared. 
 

The first bit of news is that theres going to be a good show by the HIV patients at Devores Quakepooton, with the possiblity of NrG getting his sorry ass over here for it to. I've still 3 spare invites to use, so anyone in need give me a shout.   
 

Changed the general layout of the site. Still reckon the button to the left are far to helpful, so I'll replace them next with less meaning full text, no point making this site to easy to navigate, no siree.   

Updated the members section El Barto and Jibba moved out of the temporary section to full members, I have could done it sooner but I couldn't be arsed.   
 

As some one you maybe aware, some people found cause to object to a recent posting by yours truly, which resulted in it getting removed and me been told I'm very boldy. Well since this is my site I've decided to allow you all to see said link and let you decide for yourselves. All I ask is that quake 1 players and any JEDI members get there mammies to hold their hands cos it might be a little bit upsetting for you delicate young things.

Since you've reached the site, you will have noticed that we are no longer hosted by the IGN, this decision was taken due to the obvious differences in attitudes between said management and this clan. This action was taken to avoid possible future conflict between us over content.   

We hope to be joining Doozer on the other side of the water soon.   
 

The MORE Bit - IGN, the adverts and the legal stuff.   
Ok, HIV are signing the legal document, and are staying at quake.ie (if they will have us). We will put the ad banner in a frame and bobs yer uncle. Why?   

1. Free Quake Servers from IGN   
2. Free web space from IGN   
3. The Entire Irish Quake Scene, helped to grow into what it is today by IGN (mind u, Obi did create the Q2 scene, so not the entire scene credit there to IGN).   

Why are people so bothered about all this? It's just an ad banner.   
 

But on to more serious matter, cue worried brow.   

Yes folks I'm back, after a few weeks under cover I can now tell the shocking truth that drove my good mate Zero out of the country. A most hideous plan by a well known quake 1/2 player, who plays of world domination, I have uncovered. We shall for the sake of my fellow under cover agents in his clan call him, say.... NameLess [of the no name] or NameLess [otnn] for short. I shall now hand you over to my good friend, TObi.   

"For a long time now I have long suspected some thing was just not right in the state of Cavan, people with such jutting chins, and long foreheads can't be natural. I can now reveal that Cavan people are in fact, part of a breeding program, orchestrated and run by the people of Longford. For centuries they have been inter-breeding Cavan people with general livestock in the hopes of making a more docile breed, combining the best traits of the animals in question, with the gross stupidity of Cavan people. This affront to nature must be stopped, if god had intended animals to be that stupid he would have made them that way.   

   
Their vile breakthrough came when a mysterious organisation known only as the Gedi volunteered to participate in these acts of carnal unholiness. As their spokesman said if it's good enough for Tori Lamos to have relations with pigs its good enough for us. To the left an example of the twisted offspring of the Sheep-Cavan-Gedi union, combining the general woolly/Cuddliness of sheep, with the raw animal cunning and savagery of a Gedi member, the breed has been unfortunatly blighted with the body of an average Cavan person, although they'll be a big hit in the disco's of Monaghan, possibly.   

Using these Monkeeps-Warriors (tm of the Obi-wanajitcy corporation), Nameless [otnn] will unlease armies of these foul creations upon us, I will uncover more !

Downloaded GibStats at the weekend, and had loads of fun (I know, a bit sad, but I love statistics) adding in logs from a few previous matches, plus the training sessions we had over the weekend. This is an excellent utility, and I'd advise all clan leaders to go out and download it, as it's well worth it. Definitely tells you where you and your clan members are strongest and weakest.   

The IQ2CL is coming along nicely, with 8 clans in at present. That's including clan Dali, although this means that they will have to announce their roster before the league starts if they want in.   

On the UKCCL front, the organizer's PC went down, and that's why we were missing from the waiting list. I've mailed him about this, and we'll be back on the list in no time. DzR's first game has been rescheduled, and I think it's on tomorrow? Good luck lads, give em hell.   
 

Draft IQ2CL Rules   
   
Castor Troy has been moved off the On-Trial list, and is now a full member of the clan. Expect to get gibbed by him in the IQ2CL soon.   
 

Changed the Format of the News Page and added links for Q2 News and the Onion. If you've never read the Onion, now is a good time to start.   

Whoopee, 3 new Members:   
HIV-El Barto   
HIV-Castor Troy   
HIV-Jibba.   
Updated the members page and also added in a profile and picture for Thor (ripped off from Thors site).   

Did a reworking of the Links page, made it nice. Added in a clan profile for SCREAM.   

Rumors abound that Rev Hellfire is re-joining HIV. I'm sure its just a rumor. Also heard that a new clan, clan SCAB, was starting up.   

The Irish International Quake2 panel was announced on the Q2 News site. Both myself and Janey Mackers are included. That hoor of a former member, Rev Hellfire, is also on it.   
   
Boba Fett will be returning from Italy soon, so the Q2 Clan League will be kicking off in no time at all.   

The next season of the UKCCL is starting on Tuesday. We missed out, but are on the waiting list for next season. DzR's first match is on Tuesday.   
 

HIV Clan Skins - About time you might say. Here's how its looking at the moment. Still some work left to do. The female model does some wild skin stretching around the breasts, so it's not easy getting a decent sized image or text on the chest area. You may recognise parts of this skin, as all it is, is a big cut and paste jobbie.   

Two new Badges for you to enjoy. Feel free to cut the fingers of yourselves.   
   
 

Two new Irish Quake2 News pages have opened their doors, with the first off the starter block being Boba-Feta's Q2 War machine , which is currently ahead in content. The second news page is Cave ( of those DzR swines, eternal HIV enemies, well their the only enemies at the moment, a pox on those other Q2 clans ) and Shank's Q2N page.   

Tried to organize a clan match against QGirlz but they are unable to play ( not because their girls mind you ) due to a complete lack of interest. But visit their web page as it's well recommended.   

Received a challenge from Kulprit of Clan Hate Inc, which we hope to play next weekend or so. when NrG and others are back from holidays.
