punkbuster has been causing a lot of gamers a lot of problems recently especially in leagues such as the bwq3dml and the bwq3ctfl.
a part of the problem was that the guid checking server was moved to id software, where the guids are checked from a database causing problems for players with both legal and illegal copies.
the other major problem affected the spectators and followers, causing gtv to kick the clients with the error message "time out trying to update pb client" after a random amount of time.
anyway, to make a long story even longer, this is now fixed. hopefully we've seen the last of pb problems.

bigfoot has posted his league review over on quakenation.
it seems that punkbuster has been causing a lot of trouble to a lot of players. both those with illegal and legal copies alike. hopefully this won't be an ongoing problem.
as far as i can make out nd seem to be the only irish clan participating.
league tables can be found at the bwq3dml homepage.

signups are being taken on the gs.net league page for a (small) tdm league. the one thing to note is that they are using the gs.net servers and no others, which is good if you can ping well to gs.net because it gets rid of the server search crap beforehand. (we ping 40 from here, saik got 50 from isdn).

thanks to mindphuck we managed to get koopa and vin on broadband for tonight, it paid off in the cbnations ctf cup at 8 against netherlands. we didn't know what to expect, since this was the first time our team played together. after a 2-minute server search, we went to lsr's server in uk. it took awhile for koopa and vincent to get setup (putting network cable in isdn ta... wp vin) but eventually we started on ireland's home map q3w2, with a team of vincent, 2fish (koopa), anarchy, sno, killy (me  ) with zero coaching. after an early cap for us, the game was stalemate for 15 minutes (except for one moment when we were saved at enemy flag by sno). towards the end, ned really put the pressure on us by attacking with 4 men, but our defence of vincent and 2fish held firm, final score 1-0 to ireland.
ned chose cp9 as their home map: i had expected this since they beat france there last week, even though their traditional home map is cp5. bd subbed in for me and i replaced zero as coach. ned won comfortably 4-1 despite being well outfragged, there was clearly a lot of room for improvement by ireland on this map.
next came time to pick the decider map, which was q3w7. i moved back in to replace bd, and zero returned to coach. another early cap by ireland gave us a room to breathe, like w2 this is a map which can be difficult to score on. after 15 mins, we had settled for a 1-0 win, but as they did on w2, ned decided to go all-out attack. they couldn't get past our broadband lg's though, so it just resulted in two more caps for ireland and a final score scoreline of 3-0. overall result: ireland 4 - 2 netherlands. gg's ned and thanks to the_stranger for gtv.
the cbnations tdm was scheduled for 10pm, and after a late end to bwdml div1, ireland and uk settled on a dutch server where pings were fairest. the irish team was 2fish, ser, anarchy, vincent, with captain zero coaching. most of the players were on 35ish ping, but blokey's 20 ping cancelled out storm's 50 ping. unfortunately this was only the second time this irish team played together (the first time being against estonia in the playoffs when vin and koopa were on isdn). ireland's map was q3dm7, we got a horrible start and it took a few minutes to get back into the game. they just started to cess constantly, regaining ra at times but never holding it long enough to make a comeback, thanks to blokey and jay who were very impressive for uk. the final score was 231-149 to uk.
another bad start for ireland on uk's home map pro-dm6. uk clearly have their own way of playing this map, must be why its their home map, and it was very effective. ireland held ra for a lot of the game, and got a good few powerups, but because of uk's style we were never really in control. the best work was done by jay for uk who finished with a net of +37. theres a report on clanbase here.

a mixture of news from week 1 of the bwctfl. fh went down to rv 0-6, 0-5 over two maps in div2a, (probably vin's fault), while jobos racked up their first win in div3a, winning 5-2, 3-0 over sa.
nd meet fs this wednesday in div2b of the bwdml, while tonight we play a very important game against s9r in the clanbase 2nd league playoff. 3 wins in the next three games would put us in the final of the second league. 3 hard wins to get but we'll see how we do. in other news, there are rumours floating around about mp pulling a new irish clan together in the next couple of weeks which would be cool for our dwindling community. will keep you posted.

according to popular rhetoric, all programs (no matter how simple) will expand until they can read email. how long before your inbox can be mapped onto an in-game surface? have i just put down a challenge for the modders? 
this may work for the art students among you if you're caught red-handed playing qw on uni machines:
the sketchynpr attempts to simulate a person rapidly sketching the quake environment on a piece of white paper. the walls are shaded with a hash-style sketching, and the water ripples with every stroke of the writing utensil.

on a bulletin board i found:
"october 10 2002
a 24-year-old south korean man died after playing computer games nonstop for 86 hours, police said yesterday.
the jobless man, identified by police only by his last name kim, was found dead at an internet cafe in kwangju, 260 kilometres southwest of seoul, they said.
quoting witnesses, police detective oh myong-sik in kwangju said the man had been virtually glued to the computer since late last friday and had no decent sleep and meals.
the man collapsed in front of the counter early yesterday but soon regained consciousness. he then went to the toilet where he later was found dead, the police officer said.
initial investigation ruled out the possibility of murder, police said. an autopsy was planned.
south korea is among the world's most internet-savvy nations with more than half of its 47 million people having access to the internet. south korea has some 22,000 internet cafes, also known as pc rooms.
many pc rooms are open 24 hours, but no minors are allowed after 10 pm."
if this isnt true dedication of a gamer i dont know what is. the last lan i went to i stayed up for about 40 hours straight and hallicinated so i wouldnt like to imagine what this guy was under. :d
he is my hero.

ok enough bullshit.
qhlan starts in 50 days time on the 3rd of january in stockholm. it's a quakeworld competition with the l33t quakeworld players going. our own koopa is widely recognised as one of the best qw duellers on the planet but hasn't gone to any serious competitions to get the proper recognition. he is also a broke bum and has no means of travelling to things like this.
so we signed him up. and this is the koopa trσcaire appeal. we want contributions to send the only decent player of any game that ever came out of this country, to a competition where he can get the recognition he deserves. (and beat the shit out of reload).
if we get enough support (i.e. possible contributors), we'll mail everyone and arrange the money/flights etc. so reply here if you are willing to give 10 or 20 euro for koopa's holy crusade. we are dead serious.

bigfoot has announced the draft tdm and ctf groups for season 10 of the barrysworld leagues.
tdm
in tdm, nd find themselves alone flying the irish flag in div2b for the third time around.
ctf
fh have opted out of tdm this season to concentrate on ctf in div2a of the league, while mp's ts remain in div1 this season. a new irish entry in div3a sees jobos play in their first league since forming, with quite a serious lineout including some irish players that we hope will stay active and improve the irish scene at home here.(dbc, ppc, dardoz, giblet, bazh etc).
best of luck guys.

interesting (and lengthy) article on doom at accelenation.com.
it generally deals with the various technical aspects of the game and how they compare to the original quake series.

if the answer is yes, and you havent signed up here for fragnet on the 6th december, then you are an idiot. go and do it now. anyone travelling long distance, there are always a few inches of floorspace in our gaff.
afaik there are not rental pcs, lk will clarify that when he gets out of hospital. get a lift.
[edit]fh have a team going, nd are looking like 2 teams. we want to see jobos and acid too.

slave from savage leagues asked us to post up that the savage q3dm league is restarting soon. details over on savageleagues.com. he says "the head admin for the new league is a guy called vududoll .. who has, in the past, been head admin for the wireplay q3dm league as well as adminning for ukccl q3 when it was about .. so hopefully we should be in great hands to make the league great ..of course p2p isn't an option for this, or any, savage league as we've always said that our leagues would be free .. so no worries there for clan and players alike .."

ireland managed to get our strongest team online last night for the clanbase nations cup tdm qualifier with estonia. ser and anarchy were on broadband, while koopa and vincent played from home on isdn.
the first map was our home map, dm7, which ireland won comfortably, holding ra all game where our isdners were able to kill spawners or adventurous estonians who tried to regain primary while ser and anarchy did good work to stop them from retooling, and rack up a few frags in the process. final score was 141-54.
estonia's map, ospdm5, was a different story. connects had got worse for both teams, but it was koopa and vin who suffered most on 64k. control of the map changed hands frequently, and estonia led for a long time, but never by much. towards the end we managed to get back into control and took the lead again, but with 2 minutes left when the score was 91-90 to us, something went wrong at eircom and me (coach), vin and koopa all got disconnected. this left us at the mercy of the spawns upon rejoining, but were lucky enough to keep control and swipe the final quad to win the game by 99-95.
both games were played on pzz's .nl server with gtv and shoutcast commentary courtesy of bigfoot and the stranger.
we also have to qualify for the ctf, so we will be playing norway next thursday.
