I have just updated the files page. I added a Demo section. These are some of the best entertaining demo's ever made. Operation Bayshield is great voice movie and theme. DFF is a German movie with some cool movie effects, great music! There is an amazing single player speed demo of some players completing all of the episodes in under 20 minutes, lots of grenade hopping shortcut tricks!

Of Course Ledfoot.HOPw will probably go with me the first day. Anyone else planning to go let me know and we will make plans to meet the first day, or go out to eat one night.

Well it seems Nicobolas of clan HK has challenged us to a clan match. He is supposed to be setting up a date and a time with Ledfoot. Led also passed on that Pubert of Clan DFA would like a rematch. Guess we are good target practice. Will let you all know more when the info gets in..

I just found on Blue's News that there is a fix for a problem with Qspy for all you Qspy user's. You need to get it to help with Quakeworld.

Hello, I sure don't want to start with tonight's Clan Match vs Clan DFA. So I will report on the Quake Car.... This is pulled from planetquake.

"Ferrari! It's day 3 of E3, and the tournament for John Carmack's Ferrari is now over. As onlookers watched on large-screen TVs, the two finalists, Thresh and Entropy, battled it out. Thresh was victorious, winning 13 to -1. Following the deathmatch, Carmack personally handed the keys to his Ferrari 328 to Thresh, who was quoted as saying:

"That was the most intense deathmatch I've ever played." - Thresh, proud new owner of some new-fangled sports car

Now to Clan Match vs. Death from Above. Well it was death that's for sure.. I had a blast for two minutes out of the 20. I was playing on E4M3 and was at the hump in the hallway. All four DFA were chasing me, I had 12 health and I kept going over the hump and back, back and forth... I stayed alive for about 2 minutes and had all four of the DFA'ers kill each other or themselves and one came back one more time and died then they finally got me.. they were swarming, hehe was a blast... Ya I was very disappointed in my performance, have to go see the eye doctor again... Checked my glasses at least twice, and I took out at least three HOPw's maybe more, hehe man if I've said it once I've said it a hundred times NEVER run down the center of the hall!!!!

Match 1 Clan DFA 66 (Syx, Boff, Tex, Grappleman) beat Clan HOPw 20 (Wormburner, Ledfoot, Killjoy, DanQ). Congratulations DFA you did a great job! It seems that HOPw's thought they were takin on 3 of you at a time whenever they came across you all. Nice job.

Pings were probably the closest we have matched up against a clan. Clan DFA did have a small ping advantage DFA (167, 242, 246, 406) Clan HOPw (313, 332, 382, 437) not impossible to beat. I sure don't feel like it should effect my performance but something did, probably facin 3 of em at a time, hehe they were everywhere and that a big level, hehe. Well Match 2 will be posted in a bit. I didn't play match two had to go to a street dance with the wife. I hope HOPw's faired better!

Match 2 was also won by Clan DFA (Boff, Grappleman, Tex) 43 to Clan HOPw (CrazNDhead, DanQ, Ledfoot) 30. This was played on Dm6 with Clan DFA pingin 226, 331, and 435 and Clan HOPw pingin at 317, 426 and 528. Nice try HOPw's you tried your best.

Final Results Clan DFA 109 to 50 for Clan HOPw

Congratulations to CrazzeeNDhead. He just tried out for Clan HOPw and whooped me 17 to 6. Nice Job CrazNDhead.HOPw! We played on E4M3 of Course and CrazzeeND opened up the match with a telefrag, stealing the rockets, grenades and two quads I had, heehe, boy what a bummer for me. Then he went on to control the quads and red armor for a good 10 minutes until I finally regained control. But to my disappointment he stayed away from me while I was using the quads, and then I lost them for awhile. It was fun, I just wish I would have kept it closer.

Well it finally happened. Target and I played a match on E4M3. Flame was down so we went to a Canadian server and were about 15min into the 20 min match when it went down. I was leading 14 to 1 but I forgot Target had no sound, so had an unfair advantage. Flame went back up and we played 20min match and the finally results were me 10 and Target 2. Good Job Target.

So Welcome Target.HOPw to Clan HOPw. Guess we are going to slow down on accepting members players are going to have to play more often and for longer periods of time so we get to know you more.

Sunday, June 15th, 1997

It's been pretty busy. Target and I still haven't had time to hook up and do a one on one match. We are hope to get that completed tonight, but Flame and Cj zone has been down. Let's hope it's back up. Kill, Hornet and I couldn't find a server we cared to play on last night, It's just not the same without Flame.

The page is coming around again. Just figured out how to get that pesky bar between the two frames to disappear. I probably will make the top frame small just to fit the buttons, but for now it will do. Later all.

Finally some recognition for us keyboarders! Woohoo! I just ran across a Quake Keyboarders Anonymous on Blue's News. Boy do I need that site bad, hehe. I don't think I'll ever be a mouser. Try to give up the keyboarder but I keep failin.

Welcome Flesh.HOPw into Clan HOPw!! He is our newest member to our clan. On June 8th he took Killjoy on in E4M3 our Official Clan level. Flesh shell shocked the overconfident Killjoy going out to a 3 to 0 lead, but Killjoy wasn't going to be beating and after calming his frayed nerves he went on to teach Flesh that E4M3 is a HOPw's best friend.... 10 to 3 final outcome.. Not bad since Flesh was just learning level. Flesh.HOPw was formally known as Flesheater, but part of the conditions to be a HOPw was to change the name.. That name just was giving DanQ and I nightmares. We sure didn't want to go visit Flesh for dinner, hehe it might of been us served up fresh daily.. Anyway welcome Flesh to Clan HOPw.

In other news, it looks like Target will be trying out for Clan HOPw in the next few days. He is formally known as Evilone or Evil Hornet and will be taking me on on E4M3 in the next few days. Good Luck Target!

It looks like Qfront is moving along and a new release will be out within the week. I tried to download the new fixed beta tonight but couldn't get it to download... hmmm more web page problems for Necro, bummer dude.

I have updated my Clan HOPw page with information on becoming a clan member. I have moved the clan HOPw web page links from the links page to the clan HOPw page. That's it for now.

Saturday, June 7th, 1997

Hello, the page now has a new look. Why don't you email me and let me know if you like this format better then the left frames. I took out most of the buttons for faster loading.

Well just downloaded Painkeep 10.87 mb and also linked it on my files page so go get it.. Killjoy and Flesh and I will be playing it tonight.... Flesh is in training to become the newest HOPw.... He just needs to get some kills on Killjoy at CJ Zone tonight on E4M3.. if he does we will welcome him into clan HOPw tomorrow.. Good luck Flesh...

Happy Birthday DanQ!! Check out his remodeled page...

All I can say is Woohoo!! If you know me that is the Kong killing quote and it is a BIG WooHoo... Finally Kong goes to ping hell for the summer... He fought me one on one at our ol stompin grounds E4M3 and lost 10 to 5. I held him to one until the last few minutes when he went on a Quad killing spree.. But in Kong's defense it was his 390 or so pings to my 350 or so pings and he had some lag at times.. Thanks for the rematch Kong

Well the write up is out. (moved to my page) on the Crackwhore's page... I got a good laugh, it looks like Tease did a nice write up on the match, well not nice to us, hehe but really looks nice, go check it out.. Crackwhore vs. HOPw on their page.

Mona also has a write up about the battle too, was nice playing that lpb... check out her write up here. (Local Copy they redid their page).

Blaster has a new look on his page and some tunes.. Killjoy still working on getting a write up done by tonight.. if he does here's the link again.

Wow had a blast.. we got to play the Clan Crackwhore's tonight. We were supposed to have 6 players show up, but we had problems and two couldn't make it. So Mudcricket.cj played match one with us and Dirt.cj played match two. Thank you guys.

Match 1 was a little disappointing for me. We got rushed and didn't get assignments finalized. I really think we could have won it or made it real close with our original guys who practiced it. But it was fun and the Crackwhores did a great job and I commend Tease for sticking it out. She was having big lag problems up to 10000ping at times and back down to 300ping. Match 1 was played on CJ zone E4M3 level and Crackwhore's won 52 to 33.

Match 2 was played on Crackwhore server and level was DM4. I was really surprised how well I did. Nightmare didn't have a clue where he was the whole map.. hehe poor night.. We got our butts kicked, but that was expected with the mismatch in pings... It stayed close for first 10min then the Crackwhore tore up the strip... 165 to 70 Congratulations to the Crackwhores, we had a great time.

Check out the results on our results page..

Tuesday, June 3rd, 1997

First I'd like to wish my wife a Happy Birthday. Also would like to wish Col (greedy fly) a happy birthday too.

Tonight is practice for Tomorrow's 10pm central Clan Match vs the Crackwhore's. If you are going to play you need to get a hold of someone in the clan who has gone over the strategy for the match.... Probably me, DanQ or Killjoy, Possibly Hornet or Ledfoot too.. Hope to see you tonight, if you can't make it you still can play as long as you have time to go over the maps with us prior to match time tomorrow.. Good Luck HOPw's
