[HIV]CastorTroy Interview
 

I've updated the Links page and the Friendly results section. 
 

We've a few new members joining us, [HIV]ThundaHart being the first, more news here as it comes in. Why not stay up all night and watch? 
 

We won our second UKCCL match and we also beat EED in the IQ2CL. Umm thats about it, I've been away like. I'll update the results section sometime soon. 

The Phantom Menace, seen it in Toronto at the weekend, great visuals, shame about the dialouge, as it stinks. Have to say I was disappointed. 
 

We also defeated TUK on Sunday night to take outright leadership of the IQ2CL. At the moment we are the best tin Ireland, god love us. DzR have been left in the wake of our steamroller run of victories. It has nothing at all to do with us having played a game extra and all rumors of this fabled "game in hand" are just jealous whispers and whispered lies. 

Results sections will be updated soon. 
 

NME won the HPB cup so it was nice to know only the eventual winners managed to beat us. Same thng happened last season come to think of it. 
 

I'll try and get chasecam demos from this and the PK match and stick them up on the site in the next few days. 
 

And tomorrow night we play NME in the semi-finals, *gulp*. NME are ranked number 2 in the UK. Its the best of 3 games so hopefully we can give a good account of ourselves. 
 

Played EED on their own server last night, a win on dm3 and a billox inflicted rail nightmare on dm1. Updated the Friendly section again. Someday we will win on dm1, I know it, I can feel it :) 

We drew PB in the Quater Finals on the UK HPB Cup. Hope its as good a match as the last one. 
 

We also defeated EED on Sunday nite in a friendly, the friendly results have been updated. Two Division 1 clans in two days, not bad going at all :)

We're into the 3rd round of the UK HPB Cup. We defeated MoT on q2dm8 without too much trouble. MoT did have one or two disconnections, while I had a few nasty freezes during the game. Other than that connections were very playable, most of my kills being with the Railgun. 

In the UK HPB Cup we got a default win so we're through to the second round. 

The first round of the UK LPB Cup, which we entered for a laugh, plus the fact we thought we would be fielding at least 2 LPB's, turned out to be a fun match. We had no LPB's for the game but we played rather well on q2dm4 and pushed Spooks all the way, only losing 78-71.

We played EM over 2 levels on sunday nite and won 152 - 84. Good performances all round. 
 

Our first bit of practice on q2dm8 went not exactly swimmingly v EED last nite. We lost both levels and got a good lesson in teamplay from the EED lads. The Lurker was excellent in both games, didn't seem to matter to him that he had a 250ms ping on our server, he still played excellent. Many practice sessions scheduled for the weekend to get up to speed on this one. Theres a demo of the match up on Q2 News. Don't bother watching it though, it'll ruin our "Hard Clan" image. 
 

I seem to remember (sort of) playing a friendly against DF on, what day? Sunday? and ermmm we won it 94ish to 22 or around that. Its all a bit hazzy for some reason. I think there may be a screenshot attached here? There isn't? Hmmmmmm. 
 

Added a demo of the DS friendly to the files section. Arganoid insisted :) 
 

Its PK again tonite. We want to get some revenge for the playoff drubbing they inflicted on us. Beating them is probably asking a bit much but I'm hoping for a better performance all round from our lads. Of course I could be lying through my teeth and really expect an easy win, you never can trust anything thats posted here. 

I just updated the Results for tonites match. A loss, but a good performance. 
 

Yes, its another scandalous exposé, revealed by your gracious hosts here at HIV.   

Some of the more astute readers and inhabitants of the popular Dinosaur themed IRC room known as #Quake, maybe be aware of the recent spate of name swapping currently going on.   

Well I can reveal it has escalated further than anyone could have imagined.   
I have managed to obtain the following photographic evidence from our reporter at large Tobi[otnn].   

" Having noticed rather strange and irrational behavior from certain Famous 'celebrities', I can now reveal the shocking truth behind these appearances, and the celebrates involved.   

Ever since her miraculous reappearance last week, mother Teresa has been acting rather strangely since her comeback? What with screaming at the orphans "what's your name, no what's your real name", "what you mean that's your real name, get out get out", the ordering of random shootings of beggar children, and the recent increase in cattle burnings. I have become increasingly more worried. I can now reveal that the new so-called mother Theresa is none other than Zero, cold blooded murder of pigeons, and scourge of the kariocie bar.   

Hasn't the pope been acting somewhat strangely lately, dont you think?   
What with the papal announcement, that Catholicism has all been a horrible mistake, and that the he wishes to join the orange order. Hasn't he developed a remarkable similarity to one Ian 'No Rome' Paisley. Yes I can revel that the Pope was kidnapped, by an elite orange order commando squad, and is currently been held in an unnamed farm shed in county dublin-derry.   

And what of this new world order that 'Devore' has been taking about, this strange covert source of money he seems to be able to continually call upon ?   
What of the new tyrannical oppressive rule of law that has been introduced in #quake?   
The sudden kicking and beating which have taken place?   
The strange rule that only people who's monitors are facing Mecca can enter. And what of Adra's, sudden dropping of the use of the American imperialistic '!' symbol. Oh yes some of you will remember Devore as a friendly sort of fellow, well I can now reveal Devore for what he is Devore, Prince of terror or shall I call you by your real name Osama bin Devore Laden, Prince of terror. I managed to get the following close-up photo of Devore from earlier the year, and a later one taken at Q.P, deside for yourselves.

My advise is to you all is to check yourself regularly, at random intervales to ensure that you are still who you think you are... 

Loads of matches coming in the next few months with the UKCCL kicking off again on the 11th and the Q2CL starts on the 20th. This will be our 3rd season in the UKCCL and we hope to continue our good record in this league. This season will probably be tougher that last year and even getting into the Div3 playoffs will be difficult. Due to our lack of experienced LPB's our main aim is to survive in Div3a this season and get our LPB's some good match experience while doing it. Any players who don't get matches in the UKCCL will be playing in the Q2CL.   

We had a friendly last night on the IOL war server against a newbie UK based clan. We won, but learned little from it except that we can hammer newbie clans :). The final score from both q2dm2 and q2dm3 was about 210-50. In fairness these guys had never even practiced together so I hope they don't take any heed of the result. tMf did better on dm3. I didn't get a shot of the dm3 scores but here's dm2:   

We got knocked out of the UK HPB Cup on Monday by KMA. We were well beaten, I joined with 10 minutes to go and could make no impression on the game at all. KMA had a nasty knack of railing us from halfway across the level. At least we can take some heart from the fact that KMA have made it to the final in both the HPB and LPB cups. I think the finals are being played tonite.   

Finished the Q2CL season on Wednesday with a win on dm8.   
 

Also the UKCCL HPB Cup kicks off on Monday next, really looking forward to it.   
 

I've also put a demo from earlier in the season of us winning on Q2DM2. We were using our own skins in this demo so you should download them for the full effect :)   

Also I'd like to welcome [HIV]Arganoid to the clan. My recruitment drive continues unabated.   

Oh, and guess what, we lost another CTF match on Sunday :)   
 

When the dust settles after the match I'll post the demos. The game will be played over two levels, each clan picking a level on the night. Despite all the above we're looking forward to it.   
 

We played our second CTF match in the IQ2CTFL on sunday and guess what? ehh? Bet you can't guess who won? Well it wasn't shagging us. I'll update the results section when someone around here takes an interest in CTF.   
 

I'd also like to welcome the latest HIV converts, [HIV]Slosh and [HIV]Kegser. Slosh has stated that he now prefers Q2 to Q1 and that everyone who plays Q1 is a shitehawk (errm, ok I made that up) and Kegser spends most of his time on q2war1 calling everyone a shitehawk (that bit is true).
