@X07
Yo yo all U folx out there...<P>
<P>
This article was supposed to be about QuakeC, but it was boring to
write, so
I decided to write about what
was going down at the Quake2 contest at the Chemistry institute at 27.
and 28.
of June. <P>
First of all, the contest was being prepared for about a month... Sounds
like
some time! @X0CBEEEPPP! WRONG!@X07 One month is far from enough time to
get a real
Quake party going. But the guys did quite a good job.
<P><P>
Ok, about the place and computers and stuff...<P>
We were in something like an attic. Large, air-conditioned and full of
quake killer
atmosphere! @X0CCOOL!@X07.. No noit was @X0CHOT!@X07
<P>
There were about 20 computers, I think.... And one @X0CBIG! FAT!@X07 and
@X0CPOWERFULL!@X07 server...
like the one the Zig has. A dual Pentium ][, heck I don't know.. A hell
of a
computer! (Everyone would like One like that!) Then there was a poor
Cyrex, that
was the main spectator (observer for you who don't know that) and  10
Intel
P200 MMX with VooDoos... @X0C(AAAAIIIII!!!)@X07 The rest was junk... Let
me say that the
computers we played on were not from the institute...They were
borrowed... <P>
They also had a projector, so the main spectator was showing some
action and scores on the wall all the time ...
<P><P>
About the folx...
Well, let me say that pretty much people showed up! We had about hundred
and more
entries..  Oh, I forgot... <P>
The contest was divided in two days...<P>
<P>
@X0CDay 1@X07: Deathmatch over all.. @X0CKill, kill, kill...@X07 If you
were one of the first five you went
to the next round... In the first round we had groups of eight
players... We played about 5 rounds...
1, 2 then "quarter-finals", "semi-finals" and at the end the "finals"...
<P>
We all thought that there will be a total showdown.. 1 on 1.. But
the time screwed it all and so in the "semi-finals" 2 groups of 8 people

fought in two levels. each 10 minutes... Half went on.. In the "finale"
8
people played 3 levels, each 10 minutes. Then, the winner was
announced according to the score...<P><P>
@X0CDay 2: Clan WARZ!!@X07 Originally we wanted to play CTF2, but only 2
of the
 clans wanted to.. All others just wanted team-play...SUCKS...But the
war was fun.
there were about 8 clans @X0C(BcW, NOV, MVP, HAC, CC, UTS...)@X07 Can't
say much here...
<P><P>
Ok, back to the folx... As I was saying, about 100 players showed up. It
was
cool to meet all the guys I clobber every day ( q:) ).. And to think
about it
that is what @0XCCLAN PARTYES@X07 are all about!
The atmosphere there was @X0CIBERGREAT!@X07... The best thing was that
we could talk
about Quake without anyone bugging us about that... " Oh, how can you
play those
stupid games..." @X0C(Right, MMX?)@X07 Quakers only......
<P><P>
@X0CMisc...@X07
<P><P>
The cool thing 'bout it was that me and @X0C-]ShadoW[-@X07 were
recording some demos... We
tried out some new techniques...Like the totally free look. Good job
"Temni"!
We (me and ShadoW) recorded the Semi-Finals and the Finals... I managed
to
send them to the @X0CSLO Demos inc. @X07 (Tnx TrOn)..
<P><P>
@X0CProbs...@X07
<P><P>
The biggest problem was the server.. No one had a clue how to run it..
q:)
Ok.. @X0C[HAC], BrainWash, [xTc]@X07 did a good job on it, but I helped
a lot... And screwed
a lot too.. q:) At the end of the first day I stayed there and we played
some Q2
and started up the CTF2 and then we ordered a Pizza... A great
evening....
The start of the next day was cool... Everyone standing in front of the
closed
 door and waiting... I grabbed the handle, but one of them said..
"Noyou can't
go in yetThey won't let you.." Pha...I opened and first got a scream
into my
face: "Please!! Wait outside!.. Oh.. Its you, @X0CBozocome in..@X07"
Heheh... I'm
so important, like...I can say that I was one of the people that kept
this thing going.<P>
Cool, huh? At the end of Day 2 we had to carry all the computers back
into the cars
and get them back to the sponsors... Heavy... It was a great feeling to
screw out all those Monsters.. @X0CMAN!!@X07 <P><P>
I can say, that the party was a total success, except the
music...Manthey
really could put up some raveor anything that is alive... <P>
Ok, the tracks from the Q2 CD rocked, but it could be better... eh
heck...
Everyone is a critic (like the one who will get to read this shit)
<P><P>
@X0CFinal:@X07 Quake or any other LAN parties aint just about games,
but about meeting
people you play with every day, but don't have a clue, how they look
like, or what's their
age and stuff... I really think it's cool that the @X0CChaos Clan came
from Maribor..@X07
They are the greatest. And everyone else that came to this party...
Bless you folk...
