| this has to be the best demo in any game i have ever seen. there are a few mid-air rocket shots, and becuase of this paradoks has been accused of cheating in this demo. i have spoken to crazymac (the enemy in the demo) he says paradoks is not cheating and has seen him do this shit many times. if you do not have quakeworld, i suggest you download it, just to see this demo. you will also need the latest qizmo to watch it. i do not beleave there is any cheating here myself. gg paradoks

read over at chde a few jokes going around about polosatiy. according to e-sportgamers, polosatiy won an american beauty contest:
the stupid joke may turn you life upside down and then turn to carrier of the regular russian guy.quaker, roman torasenko still doesnt knows what surprize waits for him.
on february 2001, his ex-girlfriend send erotic photo of her ex-boyfirend to interne competition "new men's look", peresnted by fond called "free sex callege".
the ruslts surprized everyobdy, when the girl whoalready forgot about everything, go shocking later.
72% of men choose the last photo, and by the results march 2001, roman got title of "mew hot magic".
the best part about this whole thing is, the magazine is orientied to a homosexual audience. could be quite inbarassing if his friends find out though eh? well, jokes aside, it doesnt bother me at all what he does in his free time

ice climbers last nite won their game vs all* 2 to 1 maps.
dm14tmp: all* 53- ic 52
cpm4: all* 64- ic 93
dm6tmp: all* 66- ic 142
i think maybe that all* have been playing too much 1-1 and not enough teamplay, ice climbers are also a very good team with this ice climbers is only one match from the lanfinals. they have one more game vs either vikings (denmark) or evolution (sweden) who's gonna battle it out for a chance vs ice climbers. and in the other scandinavian playoff-group it will either be all* vs vse (violance solves everything) from norway who will meet team9 with the winner going to the lan-finals. (playoff matches are best of 5 by the way. )
the european conference will have their first round of playoffs next week.
also days ago, team all* took on a new part of there quake team. a female squad, i dont know of any other quake3 teams in europe that have a active female quake team.

4-0 and 3-0 to wales unfortunatly.
thanks to koopa, simo, m1rv, jedi and skelt who played very well considering some tough opposition, both in wales and fighting pings too.
northern ireland are next, down with king billy!

| a short update from the cpl:
the cpl announced that the online registration for the cpl 4-year anniversary event will launch on monday, may 7, 2001 at 2pm central and will close on monday, june 4, 2001 at 10am. the cpl event will take place at the hyatt regency in dallas, texas. the event room will be a large 45,000 sq. ft. ballroom and the byoc area will support 800 computers. the main tournament game will be quake (quakeworld) and the total cash prize is estimated at $15,000. full details for this cpl event will be announced next week.
flights over and a week in dallas is not going to be cheap, but with announcement of that kinda prize money and simply because its qw (which we are good at) i think there's a strong chance that we'll try get a team over there. i will try not to overemphasis it but we have some topnotch qw players in this country who are easily in the same league if not better than any americans and even some of the best europeans, and thats without much (lan) practice. anyhow i'll keep you all posted on any happenings.

the different divisions were announced today for the savage tdm league. the irish teams involved are bio (div 2), hatstand (div 3a) and acid (div 4b). interestingly enough, they have set the games to take place on a monday evening, which totally clashes with the barrysworld ctf league. this is a pain in the cornholio, as it clashes big time with some clans games for the bwctfl. a few of us in hatstand play for ts in that league and to be honest, we possibly pull out of the savage league if its going to be on the same night. nice one savage.

ukcl, one of the oldest quake leagues in the world, started season 11 today. the main irish interest is in division 2 represented by clan gauntlet. their match today resulted in a default win over ts.

due to the greater than anticipated response to the planned small qw tournament the cpl is organising, they have set up a poll on their forums to get a clearer idea of the level of interest. anyone interested in going should post a reply at the cpl quakeworld poll.

a daily radar review of quake 3: revolution for the playstation 2. it's the ps2's turn to try its hand at the quake game. but is it possible to rocket-jump if you're not allowed a keyboard and mouse? but multiplay will be confined to 4-player split screen action, so i guess we won't be duelling joypadders any time soon...

for all the people intending to travel to the cpl in amsterdam, you need to contact mindphuck asap or just simply stick a comment here to let him know. this is important.

i spotted this over on esports america. angel munoz, the cpl head, has announced a cpl tourney to take place in the hyatt regency (america somewhere?).
"as other organizations who previously were not for cash prizes move towards that direction, we'd like to take the opportunity to go back to our roots," said munoz
although its just an anniversary thingy, its still cool!

| what is matter? nevermind. now anyone who has heard of ff (flaming fist) will know that they don't just beat their opponents in quakeworld, they completely break them, so its very rare that another clan can actually give them a bit of a fight..however, in this demo from dag's pov you can clearly see them getting into trouble. if you want a close demo with incredible movement, utter luck, great vertical midair shots then this is the one for you. i just like it because he bounces a guy around with midair grenades.
speaking of midair shots, this is, quite possibly the demo with the most midair shots you will ever see in one game...its on the end map, from paradok's pov...and alot of people (myself included) thought this demo was manufactured or changed somehow simply because of the sheer amount of direct hits he gets in.
finally for absolute spawnrape i really recommend this one, its reload from down under on dm4 creaming some guy who just keeps charging out...yes. you need qizmo to watch these demos as they are in compressed format (.qwz)

a quote from hobbes on the irish quake boards : "it would be interesting to see if someone could compile a perfect timeline of the quake scene from it's start to current date while remaining totally impartial"
while i get the hint of a dig from a backseat driver, it is a good idea, and us lads here at quake.ie were wondering would anybody be up for having a go at it? someone from the oldschool would be ideal, who has been around since the start, like sickboy or one of you guys. it would make a good read and we'd put it up here as a feature.
if anyone is interested let us know in the comments.

columns where archlight, from clan ss, goes on to describe his recent
game with hood and how he felt cable their cable modemers flooded his isdn connects out,
making the actual game play, near impossible to move. its worth a read and maybe you
