apologies for the late noticed on this. my wifes grandfather passed away so its off to funerals 'n stuff. we will start the games next sunday and i will email clan leaders to officially let them know about it.
incidentially, we now have 7 clans. they are :
inc
gt
nd
jams
tsw
cd
zt
clan smurf strangely pulled out of the league when they were informed that they had to use proxies to ensure there was no cheating n stuff.
if we can get one more clan, nicky's/damo/von/walt? it will make it a nice 8 teams and we can have two groups. let me know if you can make it please.

bwdml week 1 is over, but unfortunately, with acid gone, the irish presence in the league this season is minimal. i will still report on the clans that are of interest to the irish community, namely bio, hat, fh and bio.hpb. a mouth-watering fixture in div1a between bio and guild was postponed. heres how the other games turned out:
| div. |
clan | q3dm6 | q3dm7 | clan | points |
| 2a |
dmxx | 100-111 | 89-69 | hat | 1-1 |
| 3b |
fh | 60-165 | tbc* | caf | tbc |
| 4b |
vgs | 109-55 | 88-50 | bio.hpb | 3-0 |
*after playing the first game on solid pings of 70 from croatia, caf's connections turned bad and despite changing servers, they could not get ping below 250 for longer than a few seconds. the dm7 game will be played later in the season.

i just noticed over on mindphuck's column about a letter he wrote to the cpl and his resignation.

and all irish clans are out. last season's champions ez had some connection problems and were unlucky to lose to uk in the semi finals. this surprised me as uk have struggled up until now, and only scraped into the semis, being the second qualifier from group 2 after losing to jams and dn originally, and narrowly beating gt 2-1 on two occasions. dn beat icp in the semis, and will face uk in the final. read more on the ecal website.

don't forget that the clanbase's eurocup finals are on this weekend coming in amsterdam.
expect to see live coverage from irc with scorebots and q3 gtv's. there will also be a shoutcast coverage, which, if i remember well at eurocup 2, godsmurf owned the mic with superb coverage.
anyway, for more details, check out the clanbase page. btw, is anyone one going over to *ahem* watch it in amsterdam ?

bigfoot has posted his season 6 preview on quakenation, it's in 2
parts as it's a bit long but hopefully you will find it entertaining and
perhaps even of some use in working out what to expect from your opponents.
bio (div1) come into this division as div2 champions last season, and whilst it is hard to see them challenging the previous 5 sides i've mentioned and wr/xyz, they *should* be good enough to avoid the drop. that said they will need to pick up the odd few points against those top half sides and have yet to do anything to suggest they are capable of doing this in other competitions.
ts (div 2a) could be the surprise of this division. having added godsmurf and acronym to their squad in the latter stages of last season they might have lost one or two players to the summer uni holidays but should still have a tight unit. they finished 2nd last season in div3b and whilst it was a close run thing between them and 2 other clans i think they deserved the promotion place. (heh, i told you i was gonna pimp my clan)
fh (div 3c) are one of the many new sides in the league who find themselves in this division, in what i believe is their first ctf league. indeed, i cannot find any ctf form for them at all, but their dm form is reasonably good and they have been practicing so perhaps a side to watch out for.

the first rounds of the qw event in dallas have been taking place since yesterday.
news so far is a bit hard to come by. irc can be found on #cpl4year on
href="http://www.enterthegame.com/" target="_blank">etg or you can obtain a relay from
etg on #cpl4year on quakenet. here is
some related sites -
cpl 4 year official site
challenge-world
xs reality
you can check out the upper bracket and the lower brackets for more details on results of games and forthcoming matches.
the gtv's are as follows :
archroy.barrysworld.com:27500 (uk)
archroy.barrysworld.com:27501
24.102.72.101:27500 (canada)
210.50.4.11:27505 (australia)
195.20.224.140:27600 (germany)
qw.spel.telenordia.se:28000 (sweden)
64.180.35.14:27500 (canada)
quake.get2net.dk:29000 (denmark)
207.40.235.213:27500 (us)
some people have asked me how to view the games. so here's a quick tutorial.
you will of course need quakeworld and qizmo.
create a shortcut like so -
d:\quake\qizmo\qizmo.exe d:\quake\glqwcl.exe -window
(use the -window if you want to watch it in windowed mode and chat on irc at the same
time. this works great for gl users)
- run that shortcut and it will launch both qizmo and quakeworld.
- in the console type .connect archroy.barrysworld.com:27500
- create a bind - bind enter "say proxy:menu select"
- select the client list menu
- it will give you a list of connections to the server.
- now, scroll down through the client list and look for, say, cpl-cam
- press right arrow when you have highlighted the appropriate client connection so it
highlights the observe menu
- you then hit your bind (enter for this example) to select that client to connect to.
- voila! your viewing.
it is important that you do not select the client whilst hightlighted on the follow
menu, otherwise, you will have to start again if you do. some usefull commands are
,clients (shows you the client list menu)
,observe #x (lets you observe client no.x, where x is the client number shown)

there is a new site called the black list which specializes in catching counter-strike cheaters. one of quake's favorite gamers, ck-fatal1ty is listed as someone who broke the rules. is this paranoia reaching new standards?

sorry for the lack of updates, i've just started a new job and its a bit busy at the moment.
barrysworld q3 tdm league
bigfoot has posted the draft divisions for season 6 on the league website. this season will see 140 clans participating, with 25 or so allready on the waiting list. the divisions have been posted with the times they will take place.
the divisional letters do not indicate skill, they are only there to split up clans we believe of equal skill into more manageable groups. for example, div2a is intended to be as strong as div2b and div2c and div2d, and so on. the structure of the league is exactly the same as last season with a slight change to the div2 <-> div1 promotion/relegation. clans have until sunday evening to ask for changes with the divisions being finalised and seasons fixtures being posted by monday evening. barring unforeseen problems the league will start as scheduled on the 10th / 11th july.
the map pool for season 6 is as follows:
q3dm6tmp
q3dm7tmp
q3dm14tmp
cpm4
cpm13
irish related clans have been placed in the following divisions -
hat - div 2a (didn't move from last season)
bio - div 2c (relegated from division 1 from last season)
fh - div 3b (didn't move from last season)
hatb - div 3c (hatb are dropping from the league as the whole team will be playing as one side)
bio.hpb - div 4b (new to league - high ping clan )
lsd - sadly, it appears acid have dropped from the league?
barrysworld q3 ctf league
the draft divisions for season 6 on the league website were also posted. this season will see 74 clans participating, with 13 clans on the waiting list currently. divisions will be finalised on sunday, with fixture lists for the entire season being posted on sunday or monday.
barring any unforeseen problems the league will start on sunday 8th / monday 9th july. the map pool for season 6
will be:
q3ctf2
q3wctf1
q3wctf2
q3wctf3
q3wcp1
q3wcp5
q3wcp7
irish related clans competing in the league -
bio - div 1 (were promoted from division 2 to division 1)
fh - div 3c (i believe fh are new to the league?)
ts - i personally play for ts (who are now placed in division 2b), who although not an irish(ish) clan, i think i'll pimp them here from week to week
i also noticed over on quakenation that nightfever has wrote up his predicitons for the forth coming season.

it seems that e2m10 had to be removed form quake originally, but john romero has now made it available, although unfinished.
for a long time now, i've kept one remnant of quake's creation that i had to cut out. it's the lost entrance of the dismal oubliette. yes, there used to be a much more interesting beginning to that area of quake, but i had to amputate the guy and cauterize the wound into its current state, the starting point of e2m6. i remember spending many hours trying to get it just right, to create the feeling of an awful, cavernous pit for the player to get out of and into the real horror of the oubliette. it added a nice bit of gameplay time and i'm sorry that it had to go, but we set the .bsp file size at 1.4mb and had to be strict about it.
you can get your hands on it here

today sees the 5 year anniversary of quake. yes, its 5 years old since its first release! methos has done up a lenghty history lesson about quake and how it has affected us all. a good read.
on the homefront, i got this mad nostaligic buzz the other night while me and coda where having a mad chat about the good owld days. anyway, the end result is, i've put up a quakeworld ctf server on kali.ign.ie. using an old winquake mod, i ported it to qw so that uses the old id maps, sounds, keys, etc.
god, i remember the indigo days, i lost countless nights, creeping into early mornings, playing ctf. sitting at base with haste and an grendade laucher and it was pineapple city! like the good old days eh. have fun!

bigfoot has posted his
review of season 5 of the
target="_blank">barrysworld q3ctf league on the league`s official coverage site,
href="http://www.quakenation.com" target="_blank">quakenation. season 5 finished last monday with european super-clan iqs winning the division 1 title for the 2nd season in a row, ahead of their close rivals cn. the review looks at all 6 divisions in depth,
including the views of 2 or more participants from each. there is also the usual barrage
of stats for the whole league which saw 76 clans start competing in back in early march.
i must make a note now to make sure that bio get a mention for winning division 2 of the league, just in case
any wingers come on and say i didn't.

the european clanarena league ii is about halfway over, and things are looking good so far for the irish teams. clan eazy sit comfortably on top of group a, with a flawless record, while icp are just behind them, having lost only to the group leaders. in group b, gt are unbeaten so far, and remain in 2nd place with a game in hand behind clan denial. their two remaining fixtures are against group leaders dn and last season's beaten finalists uk.
