ok...

It all started back in 1996 when my brother borrowed a copy of quake from his mate so they could play modem multiplayer. Theyd play for about 2 hours and then after a while I was allowed a go against my bro's mate for about 20 mins, thats what got me started on quake...

After a while of that we got the internet, southnet, a regional isp which charged $2.25 per hour... anyways, browsing some quake sites I read about being able to play quake through the internet using the tcp/ip option. However, being on the 486 with 8mb ram I was disgusted to find that I couldn't load winquake cos it required 16mb! , So after a while I forked out for an extra 8mb ram just for winquake, (fps didnt change, still a steady 5-6) .... loaded up winquake, found the tcp ip option, and typed in some address, I think it was xtra's server, anyways, didnt work for some reason, wouldnt connect, so that fucked that up....

After looking round a few months later I downloaded quakeworld, had no idea how to run it or what it was, but I installed it and tried quake.xtra.co.nz again on this one.... and I almost shat my fucking trousers when I joined onto a 6 player game of dm. It was amazing, even at 5fps, to run around and see other ppl on there who wasnt the computer, talking and kicking my ass too. I actually disconnected after 5 minutes because I thought that to use quakeworld you had to pay.... so after reading up on it and finding you didnt have to pay I was hooked on quakeworld.

People had little tags next to their names, after finding out what clans and stuff were, I decided to make a clan with a mate from school, it was called BTC - the Bad Taste Clan (after the movie). so... got a nice basic geocities page up, got some members .... and then nothing happened, cos we didnt know what CTF was, didnt know what clans did hehehe.... so that fell apart after a while. We had some good players too, Moboss, radman, noFX... thats all I can remember...

A while later I got asked to join a clan. It was a CTF clan called the Scavenger Morphers. Some member names were Uranus, Archangel, Viper, Vortex (same as tf one? dunno, dont think so). We sucked big time.... and that didnt last too long...

Then in mid 1997 sometime gib2bits told me to download this mod called TF, so I did. First map I played was southern comfort, I actually remember bits of it... was fucking confusing, what the fuck was this floating backpack for, and why cant I see shit, I almost reset my pc (old spy grens).... But I soon got hooked on it, with 2forts4, 4forts4, 2tribes and southern comfort some of the earlier maps I remember.

Then a few months after that, around november/december 97 gibs asked me if I wanted to join a tf clan called ffp, run by bob magill. I said yes and that was the start of that whole ffp thing for me. Uhhm like the last clans, I think its now safe to say we sucked, altho we had great players, some that come to name are bob magill, gib2bits, pylorus, pussy juices, glacier, axe, acid, fragbait (heheheahah), spyda, asylum escapee... and lots of others (ffp website seems to have gone bust so cant find the other names)... We played some crazy early games against clans.. Most memorable ones would have to be against the RAGE clan. I remember one game we played , or tried to play one night, on games3, no booking servers then. We didn't have a password for games3 but we tried to play the game anyway, at about 8-9 at nite too, about 5 or so ppl joined and everyone went apeshit when someone joined hehe, now there was some sledging.

Another time we got games3 booked for a 7am game on games3, that was alright, I think that was against either brk or dow.

In fact we had quite a few early morning games, cos that was the only time of day when ppl would get sub 250 pings, I remember getting up at like 6am freezing my nuts off still half asleep playing TF on 2tech3 and 2forts against the likes of mod (the original mod, not the 50 other mod clans...) , brk, dow, wamat etc etc...

After a while ffp begain to crumble under the pressure of constantly losing and internal fighting, ppl were leaving and new ppl joining, and the clan was still losing. So ffp disbanded after a long stint in the game and everyone went their own ways, to form and join clans such as x-es, com, tmc and others.

After ffp I continued playing clanless for about 6 months or so, before doing a short stint in WAR clan alongside the likes of TTTT, Markus and others, it was a good clan to be in, mostly because we WON games for a change so that was nice.... I think it disbanded after a while too so it was back to solo play.

=======================================

Oh yeh just a few things I've left out, therse too much to put in, NZTF players vault started up early 1998 as a shitty 1 page site, over the next few years it had many facelifts and begain to grow and grow until there were over 300 players listed and all this other crap which I spent fucking ages working on, which I now consider a big waste of time really

"I AM AGENT MULDER OF THE FBI
FBI
FBI
FBI" - Sorry just really wanted to put that in hehe

========================================

Uhhm where was I... a while later along with Neotiger we formed a clan called Majestic12 (MJ12) , which later became ID, I think homer and brass were in this clan too but I dunno who else... then that dissipated after a while and I joined up with Brass's new clan called TW, I forget what it stood for.... but that didnt last long either....

After all that blam asked if I wanted to join TMC which I said yes... I enjoyed a fairly long stint in tmc which was alot of fun, it was a well organised clan and altho we may not have won every game, we did compete well and enjoyed success.... recently TMC put things on hold after tf began to slow down and I stopped playing , only playing sometimes on g3...

Then I stopped playing altogether at the start of this year.... and thats about it.... well not really, I've missed out a fucking lot of stuff, and havent mentioned many ppl because there are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many ppl I couldn't do it justice cos I'd leave out so many people, so I wont bother, but you know who you are if you're still reading this..... You try and start a list of ppl but you constantly keep remembering all these old lost ppl , so I wont try.

Maybe I'll add some more additional things on sometime in the future if one of these things ever gets started up again....


==========================================

Oh a few more things..... I've been waiting for TF2 since 1998. Heh there were even NZ TF2 clans which formed up thinking they'd get some gametime soon , like the Genocide Warriors, heh I guess they're still waiting...

WKH, KTF, QOD, BRK, DOW, RAGE, WAMAT, COM, X-ES, FFP, MOD, .... just a few clans etc.... uhhm

Homer[TFT] where are you !!! I used to laugh at you spectating ppl on games3 to join your clan, but I ate my words when your clan turned out to be one of the best hehe...

Hoju where are you ! and so many other ppl !!!!!!!
