we just wanted to inform you all of how things are going.
from a starting point of a 40 person lan it has nearly doubled that and gone to 75 people.
this is amazing and beyond our expectations. we certainly didnt expect such a good
response. the list of attendees is impressive, having people coming all over ireland,
northern ireland, scotland, wales and england. theres even a couple of swedes coming!
all-in-all, its certainly a good start to a series of lans we hope to run over the next
couple of years.
preparations : we have our tables sorted, seating arranged, cabling
completed, servers prepared, games configured, switches configured and our intranet is
nearly done. i would think were pretty much on top of things. during next week we will be
visiting our food providers and obtaining that much sought after commoditty : beer! yes..
we will have a shit load of beer for everyone attending!! adding to that, we will have
lots of snack foods and plenty of food runs going on. as most people know from the
darkside lans, the location is excellent for food and you will have no problems getting
food, the problem is deciding which food you want! btw, of course you are welcome to bring
your own drink/food, etc.
competitions : the schedule below is what we have currently planned. it
will probably change, but to give you an idea of what your two days will look like, it
pans out like so -

02:00 am - 04 apr 2004 qw/q3 clanwars and general gaming
dates : just to clear up something. the lan dates are the 3rd and 4th of
april. starting at 10am on the saturday and finishing sunday morning. friday the 2nd is a
pissup night!! there wont be any lanning going on the friday, just a great big drinking
session - irish style! the location for the drinkies is the bigtree on dorset street, 8pm
till late. people travelling from afar should get in contact with myself, zero or one of
the other irish people going to make arrangements to meet them. i'll put up a
map/directions to the bigtree if people want.
monitors : we only have 4 monitors and they are all booked out now by
overlord, empy, ch and casc.
payment : you should expect to pay on your arrival. there will be a sign
up desk, where you will depart with your cash and sign up for the various competitions,
double check your seating arrangement and get stuck in for the best two days of quakeing
your ever going to have!
quick details :

following up on an earlier report, our man melachi, who qualified as the irish halo champion, competed in the world championships on tuesday. rick came in 8th place in the finals. i think that is a fantasic achievement and worth a big well done. the overall winner was a uk player called beast aka jonathan finglass.

bigfoot has posted this draft divisions for this season on the jolt website. he stresses that these divisions are not final, but usually theyre not too different when the league starts, so its worth having a look at them the way they stand now...
fh are back in division 2a. the french clan s? would be favourites here, mostly yo! players who did well in division 1 last time i saw, although missing some of the key players who gave them map wins over gzd among others. i would tip seraph and ac as the other promotion contenders... seraph have always been an upper div2 clan as long as i can remember, and ac have been very active lately with a strong lineup of mostly french players.
the rest of the clans are very familiar... strongest among them i would say is jb or yadegari. yadegari won div3a last season despite losing to fh (on the one time we got our old first team from season 8 thanks to a brief return from lorcan) but this season it is less likely that lorc will show up out of the blue so we won't be seeing that level of teamplay probably. they have some skilled icelandic players who could get teh powerups and win teh games. inf have been consistent enough to stay in this division for a long time, but in my own experience there is huge variation in the level of their performances from one game to the next, and they're likely to finish lower mid table i would think.
mdu are a french clan capable of great teamplay but not always up to par at this level. they will see some success when the maps suit them but i don't think they'll make too big an impact on this division. xsv is mostly made up of 15 year olds who think they're l33t and quit the server when they start losing, so its difficult to say how they will do, but with 20 ping cable and 24/7ing they could finish in the upper half if they don't fold again.
omg and jb are the two teams fh beat in the bigfoot tribute cup this season. both are solid division 2 clans, omg the belgians are a bit inconsistent, but ctfers since the beginning of time and will be hoping that cp22 will be included, and that they can keep the 999 spikes at bay. joblows need no introduction here but i'll give one anyway, founded by banjospendlove their irishness has been phased out over the past couple of seasons, and with n8z entering the league this season and likely taking rapp and benji, jb will only have kat and sk!a waving an irish flag. they have a strong lineup despite missing some other influential players from last season, most significantly the french star raoul who is back with aaa. good connects, good skill and good teamplay should see them safe in this division and maybe cause some problems for s? and other promotion contenders.
n8z will have an easier time, but by no means an easy time in division 3c. dx! (belgian), souls (french), and 3p (benelux) all have division 2 experience and hundreds of ctf games under their belt. i would tip 3p as the strongest of the trio, although if souls can regularly field both the skilled defender slimseb and the tricky attacker yoshi then they will do well. dx! will destroy a lot of teams in this division, but when they come up against the better sides they will suffer if they're as inconsistent as they always have been in division 2. nonetheless i would think n8z has the strongest lineup here potentially, assuming they get enough of prac in before the season starts, and that they can get the key players like rapp out each week. as much as i hate to say it, "former" clanhopper kazz will be a valuable addition to the side, injecting the dose of experience they'll need in attack. the defence should be solid with experienced campaigners like mindphuck and jedi involved. this season will be worthwhile for n8z if only to watch the development of the new rising star of irish q3, pyro, who would surely terrorise the enemy defences in this division if he had broadband, but he will need to adapt to a strategic/speed-based attack style if he wants to rake in the caps on flimsy isdn.
fds are a belgian team who have been in division 3 for a long time and will still be there next season i'd say. hc<3 i have never heard of, but they look like a mostly uk team, and with so many uk players that i have never heard of i can only assume they will struggle at this level and be relegated unless their foreigners are complete ninjas.
hz have a lot of very active players, but they're relatively new and i don't think they will bother the better clans here too much. n2s have been around this level for ages, some days they could beat most division 2 clans, other days they would struggle to beat division 4 clans, but that is the nature of their team (not 2 serious). they have plenty of strong defenders like maj, snipez and animal (and pumpkin if he plays) but they're lacking a 3rd experienced attacker this season. the recently broadbanded tony should complement hopey enough make up for that against most clans here, but like every season they'll probably win or draw against the eventual champions and lose to the clans that end up getting relegated and finish up in mid-table. i have never heard of rw.
anyway, should be a good season if the jolt staff don't decide to ban everyone for life for having cg_fov > 100. hope the divisions don't change too much

aside from the scheduling/no-show/organisation issues that came up throughout the league, we also saw a good number of excellent matches, some of them very close, and for once there wasn't a row(!). the final game in the league with xl-v-fh(a) has been given as a default to fh(a) due to xl not showing / semi-disbanding so congratulations to fh(a), the iq3cl champs of 2003. (is that only the third iq3cl? (ps,nd,fh(a)?))
 for us few irish that still play the game, we (me and mp) are about to code in a ladder system into the site and we're going to run an irish q3 ladder for 2v2s if there is enough interest, think it could be v good.

at 21:00pm, the 1st match of the irish heats of the cb 1v1 cup got underway with killy from fh and rapp from nvr taking each other on in the opening bout. both players know each other well but down to skill wise, rapp does have the advantage. we started off on rapp's map, pro-tourney4 and from an early stage both players were pretty even on frags until rapp took a big lead and never really seemed to slow down, unfortunately for killy. the 1st map finished 33-10 in favour of rapp.
the 2nd map, which was killy's map, was ztn3tourney1. this map started off much closer and it remained close for most of the map. rapp took a small lead and slowly opened killy up to a 10 frag lead and it stayed that way, regardless of how hard killy tried to get back into the map. the 2nd map finished 34-24 in favour of rapp.
a 2-0 victory for rapp. well played to both players and good luck in your next matches lads! good games!
p.s up to date news has informed me that baz has unfortunately pulled out of the cup due to lack of commitment and his workload from his thesis. sorry to see u miss out m8!

not strictly quake, but (s)melachi is off to the halo all ireland final on sunday, 1st february 2004 in the 3g broadband studio, henry street at 12.30.
the winner will get the honour of representing ireland in the world finals in l.a.
so if you want to see him utterly destroy all comers at what is without a shadow of a doubt the worst multiplayer game i've ever played, be there. quake2 is so much better it's not even funny.
hopefully newspapers will be covering so that rick can let his adoring fans know what he thinks about microsoft, halo and eircom.
in other news i saw on the front of the indo that eircom no longer have exclusive rights on the phone line end of things. esatbt etc will be able to compete on this last mile thing that everyone is talking about. 24 euro a month for a phone line is a bit ridiculous.
update : melachi won the halo comp. details over on room101.
melachi - halo champion of ireland 04!

this season of joltq3dml holds some interest with irish players, since n8z and q3p find themselves in the same group, division 3. q3p, not an irish clan but its where 4 of the 5 fhaers play tdm (me, ch, flamey, spaceman), suffered two consecutive relegations in jolt q3dml but should hopefully have reached some stability now and might even be able to get a team out every week. n8z should look to make an impact in their uk league debut, despite missing melachi to the division 1 clan stealth for this league they should have the experience and skill to cope with any team in this division, and are deffo a promotion contender.
i have played many times against the rest of the clans, except for the brilliantly named polish clan 'elite mates' (whom i have never heard of and will ignore), and can only say that the division is unpredictable. lsr, and the revived clan d5 will put up a fight for the title. i see azer back on the d5 teamlist, if he is no longer playing for cs or nvr and shows up for d5 then he could certainly sway things in their favour. lsr is another team with some irish interest, unfortunately their star sno isnt very active lately to my knowledge, but they have another irish ctf international bd, and ni player sonar (aka demise) as active as ever. their greatest successes i expect would stem from performances by drastic and tomtom, who have done very well at higher levels in the past, although i don't know how active either of them have been lately.
da, xe and rb-b i expect won't be quite up to that task, although they cannot be taken for granted since they are well capable of taking a map or two off any clan in the division when things go well. that leaves q3p and n8z, each capable of gaining promotion, but consistency will be required since there are no gimmes in this group, and we'll have to see how it turns out. oxi has done a preview of the league on the jolt site, which can be read here.
week 1 starts monday with q3p playing 3m (elite mates), while n8z take on rb-b (basic rip). oxi's week 1 precitions (here) predict a win for q3p and a loss for n8z, but he acknowledges that he does not know the n8z players. although rb-b has a couple of handy players like lordspanky and voil, i predict a win for n8z and a draw for q3p (like i said, i know nothing about 3m but i can't imagine that any team could lose to q3p on osp5).

for those of you who have been unable to sleep at night, tortured by the impending closure the uk's last quake website, welcome quadnation: 'the bastard offspring of quakenation and a geocities site'. hopefully this means we'll have another few years of coverage from malc et al.

the second last game of the iq3cl '03 went ahead on monday night with n8z taking on fh(b). n8z needed to win 4 maps and by a decent frag margin to hope to take the league title, based on the assumption that fh(a) would beat xl badly. fh(b) picked osp5 and ctf2, n8z picked dm7 and w2. the maps were played in the order - dm7, osp5, w2 and ctf2. n8z took both tdm maps without much danger, winning by roughly 30 frags per map, will have to check scores. as was expected fh(b) didnt play for the win, they played to keep the scores down in the tdm and didnt really come out to play until the ctf maps and even then quite cautiously. w2 was won 2-0 by n8z in a very tough game with both defences flat out defending for 20 mins. on the final map (ctf2), dest took a cap at 5mins in, a lead that was kept til somewhere around 17, when n8z evened the scores. the match hit overtime on a very brief cross-steal ending in fh(b) taking the last map 2-1. so, 3 points for n8z, 1 for fh(b). ggs. final game of iq3cl to be played this week, and unless xl manage to take two maps from fh(a), fh(a) appear to have this one in the bag.

it's happening.
quake(all types) and painkiller with comps and prizes. all other gay-mers can keep themselves busy by going here instead. more info as it comes, all we know atm is its "on the drawing board". if you miss this lan you are definitely a homosexual. that is all.

trickery.net have started up a new 4v4 quakeworld league. the kick off date is monday 26th january and games will be played every monday night with different divisions starting at different times. also the final week is 4v4v4v4 which will be good craic.
it is giving priority on the signups to uk and irish clans but there arnt many off them so itll likely be full of other euro clans anyway so its prety pointless but aw well.
sign up here
|
|
|
the last two matches of the iqcl are set to go ahead next week, with xl playing fh(a) and n8z playing fh(b).
the winner of the league will be decided by these two matches. if n8z and fh(a) both take 4 maps from their opponents it will come down to frag and cap difference between these two teams. unfortunately for n8z, it is in their opponents interest to keep everything at a minimum seeing as their "other half" is the other runner to win the league. it will be interesting.
the fh(a) -vs- n8z has been agreed for monday at 9pm, no day yet on the xl game but its being discussed.

the signups for the clanbase duel cup should now be closed (the link is still there for anyone wants to try but apparently it was last night it finished).
the following irish players have signed up for it:
baz, benji, dest, j-uno, killy, overlord, pyro, rapp, reiko, sk!a_ie, spacey, zero.
three of these players will make it through to the next stage in europe. best of luck to everyone. (you are all dead).

[edit]
"if i don't get cc-ed in an email from the respective clan leaders in the next 3 days attempting to organise the games, i'm going to be handing out walkovers quicker than vin hands out sweets in a creche."
the following results have come through with certain walkovers happening due to me not getting emails from clan leaders about games:
fh(a) -vs- n8z ended in a 2-2 draw, with fh(a) winning both ctf maps and n8z taking both tdm maps. 4 great games, i havent time here to report on them but hopefully one of the lads will (killy?).
xl were given a full walkover -vs- lsd, lsd were given a walkover vs fh(b) and fh(a) got a 1map walkover -vs- lsd.
fh(b) were given a 1map walkover -vs- xl.
the walkovers were done with 50frags per tdm map and 5 caps per ctf map, i.e. a full walkover gives 4 points, 100 frags and 10 caps.
the following games remain to be played:
fh(a) - xl
fh(b) - n8z
these two games will decide the winner of the irish quake3 clan league, both n8z and fh(a) are tied on points, wins and losses, with fh(a) leading on cap diff and n8z leading on frag diff. these games are to be played asap after christmas, as we have a new irish cup starting in january which will be way better. stay tuned and have a shit christmas.
|
|
|
as of the 23rd of january all barrysworld league servers, clan servers, email accounts and hosted websites will be shutdown. see link below.
play.game.net/closure.asp
|
|
|
its almost that time again when we all go veg for a week or two, perhaps get a few games in, but mostly.. to relax and get utterly dwunk!
from all the admins here at q.ie, have a happy christmas!

nations quake rank came to an end last sunday, with slackers and disorder battling each other in a 5 map final, and what a thrilling final it was.
]sr[ players: paradoks, gamer, goljat & hib
ds players: mrlame, nabbe, jovovich (slime), star player (akke) & riker (mr lame played first 3 maps)
first game was dm3,
where disorder isn't known to be as strong as slackers (and a lagging mrlame did'nt help either). goljat does a nice and nifty tactic at the start, delaying the pent by 15 seconds (which means he gets rl, and goes to secure ra still pented) which secured ra for them pretty quickly. 2nd pent goes to gamer who has no weapon, but goljat comes quickly and bores his rl to him, who then goes to ra to secure it for his team. ds gets the next 3 quads; nabbe gets quad and goes to ra, but after quad has ran out he gets killed re-entering ra. akke gets the 2nd one, but cant do much with it and is quickly killed. 3rd goes to mrlame but again, gets killed and did'nt do much with it. 3rd pent coming up, and mrlame has quad ready to go for pent, but something really fucked up happens; ends up getting spammed at window with grenades bouncing around (really funny to see tho ) and is too late to get pent but falls from window where pented paradoks takes him out. paradoks goes straight to ra, takes it then gets lined up for the next quad, taking it and doing a good job with quad/lg. 8 mins left, ]sr[ lead by 36 frags. paradoks takes the next quad again and is thrown down to low health under ra (9h) but survives and runs to sng for health then retreats back to ra to pick it up and takes the next quad and sweep's pent area but gets killed at ra by a ds sg. 4th pent is coming up but this time jovovich gets it, while nabbe gets eyes. jovovich secures ra, while mrlame takes next quad but is soon killed. 3 mins left, ]sr[ leading with 52 frags, ds still has control of ra and slime gears up for 17th quad; securing ya effectively then back to ring/sng area. last quad going to slime who takes out some enemies and does a really cool quad rjump -> frag on hib but its not enough.. and ]sr[ win by 42 frags. quads shifting side to side, ds getting 11 while sr get only 9. paradoks leading the scoreboard with 67 frags along with a 63.6% effeciency. imo, ds did well; losing the first dm3 with only 42 frags, considering there not known to be so good on it compared to slackers, and a 40 - 150 ping mrlame
e1m2, king of the castle
disorder's strongest map. goljat gets the first rl and goes straight to mh, fraging on his way; then goes to ya and secures it. along with mh/ya he takes the next quad and makes sure ya is secured. next few quads are taken by paradoks/goljat, sweeping mh/ya each time. then ds get the next two, akke being killed by rl when he takes it but the next one nabbe takes, who makes a nice run taking out one of sr's rl's, but goes through tele and hits himself and his teamie lowering his health for a sr player to kill him with ssg. ds had some really bad luck, sr spawning on rl amonst others things didn't go their way here either; still a close game, with disorder loosing by 32 frags. nabbe coming top with 65 frags and a 63.2% effi. mrlame's performance hindered by his isdn, would of been nice to see him play with a stable connection.
dm2, lotto map time \o/
disorder had to win this, or they'd be knocked out by slackers 3-0. slackers get full start here, getting both rl's and quad; and take full advantage of it; locking it down in the first few mins. the game is rather even up until the 11th minute, when disorder, especially against slackers; who know how to keep there lead. then it happens, ]sr[ runs out of luck (for once!) 3 mins left, full map control and a 50 frag lead; ]sr[ loose's map control. in 180 seconds, ds must make over 50+ frags in order to stay in the final. this might not sound that much; especially on dm2, but when ]sr[ start slow spawning it really does look there was no hope for ds. 1:20 left, ]sr[ up with 26 frags, and 2rl's at low-rl. akke (star player) gets quad, and attacks lower rl, taking out first e rl at secret ra; grabs secret ra and goes to attack 2nd one, taking him out too! 50 seconds left, ]sr[ still up with 15 frags but no rl's. ds players furiously looking for frags to stay in the game. akke running the last quads, showing every one that nothing is impossible when he plays 16 seconds left, and its 160 - 160, ds making 7 frags in the last 15 seconds. the best come back i've ever seen, really good fucking game. 10 quads to each team on this map, jovovich (slime) coming top with 52 frags and 57.0% effi. some really nice play by him in that game.
now its,
disorder's choice of map, and they pick e1m2. riker shows up for this game(\o/), replacing mrlame. akke gets first rl, slime gets first quad but is killed by gamer who spawned ya and went straight to rl, picking up the 2nd one that spawned. akke gets the 2nd quad and gamer dies some where in between. next quad goes to ]sr[ but is quickly killed by nabbe's rocket. ds really get a nice start, 3mins with a 30+ lead. riker gets the next 2 quads and goes on a mission, fragging ]sr[ players like no tomorow. 5th minute, ds dominating ]sr[ 82 - 11, jovovich (slime) taking the next quad, but gets killed by hib. 8 mins and ds still has a hefty 90 frag lead, quaded paradoks gets killed by riker when picking up rl 10 mins remaining and ]sr[ now has control over ya, but are missing important quads. goljat keeping ya safe, escaping a fight with 2h ds lead is starting to shrink, 7 + 1/2 mins left; now only 75 frag lead. hib taking the 13th quad, taking out alot of ds players. 5 mins left and ds has a lead of 55 frags, goljat takes the next quad and secures ya, then to rl, anxiously looking for frags. but it is'nt over for ds; slime taking next quad and waiting for ssg. then goes to ya and takes out goljat. 1min to go, ds up with 22 frags and goljat tries his luck attacking rl with quad but soon gets killed. ds wins by 27 frags, jovovich playing yet another great game (along with the rest of the players!) with 68.3 effi and 56 frags. 11 quads to ]sr[, 9 to ds.
2-2; decider time,
the decider map being dm3. ]sr[ being favourites for this. jovovich gets rl and heads to ya, while gamer gets quad, hib eyes and goljat pent. goljat stalls the pent again this game and gets 2nd rl then goes to secure ra, picking it up and taking the next quad. next 3 quads go to ds but are soon killed, both having little health. ra is in ]sr['s possession. 5 mins gone, pent is delayed by 15 seconds and gamer takes quad then goes and takes pent. ]sr[ leading by 44 frags with ra, fully tooled up hib taking the next quad but then gets discharged at pent, few seconds afterwards paradoks also dies at pent, giving away a rl pack. ra is still in ]sr['s control, with a 53 frag lead on the 8th minute. riker gets the 8th quad but gets killed in a funny way. spam'd at center mh with pines, he runs into tunnel only to walk onto one :( ds now have control of ra, akke making sure its safe. next quad is quickly killed and pent is coming up. pent was delayed by 26 seconds, and goljat takes this one but has no weapon so goes to rl box where he quickly "scripts" his way to ra but then gets killed by akke. akke takes the next quad and goes to pent where hib is hiding in lifts. he kills hib tho, with 3 h remaining and advances up to drop down out of lifts only to be sg'd by a ]sr[ spawner. next quad goes to riker but only has sng and gets killed at ya. 6 1/2 mins left, ]sr[ leading by 20 frags. akke gets next quad but is quickly gunned down by paradoks. coming up to the 4th pent (delayed by 26 seconds) and nabbe secures it, heads to sng kills some ]sr[ players then secures ra, while goljat attacks ra with quad, but nabbes fancy footwork on ra top is too much for him and takes him out. 3 mins left, ]sr[ stil up by 24 frags, akke taking the 17th quad, hunting down ]sr[ players as fast as he can. 2 mins left, ]sr[ with a 15 frag lead thats slowly decreasing with akke's quad runs. 1 min left, akke gets the next quad and goes down water way only to get discharged :/ ]sr[ are now 9 frags ahead, 30 seconds left. ]sr[ decide to hide in sng with a 6 frag lead, akke has the last quad and goes to ra but then goes to water/ya instead of sng where the ]sr[ players are hiding. ds lose dm3 by six frags, 150 - 144, so close. 3 pents and 7 quads to ]sr[, 1 pent and 13 quads to ds. nabbe coming top again with 53 frags.
really have to give a gfg to ds for their play. mrlame on isdn and a sick riker, still managed to beat ]sr[ on 2 maps, including an excellent comeback on dm2 and only losing the last dm3 by 6 frags. and congratulations to slackers for winning nqr 5! (even if you had a "little" bit of luck )

in irelands last game of the clanbase nations ctf league, we faced of the might of the belgians. belgium are currently top of group b and are hot favourites to win the entire league.
irelands line up was yet again different, playing with vinnit, jedi, vampiro, sno and dest. starting off the matches on w2 (we did a mass pummel fight to see who got home map first.. at least we won that ). ireland held off the belgians for over 14 minutes and then they managed to get a 2 crosssteal caps. i feel that the game could have gone to ireland just as easy, but i'm not taking away from the win of the belgs : score - 2:0 to belgium. (bastids )
2nd map, the belgians showed us how good they really can be and played the game extreamly well, their attacks were just an onslaught of powerup running and their defence excellent. i have to hand it to them, they were ace. score 7:1.
great games and a good laugh. (if not a bit painful on w3). this game pretty much concludes irelands participation in the league as we don't make the playoffs.
overall, i believe we have shown ourselves to be an excellent strong side and not to be taken for granted. considering this is the first season we have had broadband connects (with some isdn players) i think we did well. the results dont do us justice, but any team that played us will tell you we were damn good and i am very proud of all the players who took part
we'll played to all the team.ie players and a big thank you for putting in the effort and time.

sorry about the lateness in the results, i didn't get a chance to post these all day as work takes prority. the cheek eh!
ireland played portugal over two maps, the first being irelands choice - w2. we had a slight change of lineup last night and proved that were not all anarchy (jim, your cut ). playing for ireland was vinnit, kazz, sno, dest and killy, with bd stepping in for mr. crashed q3: vinnit.
score 3-0
with the first map down, we changed our line up putting bd in for kazz and doing a 9-0 number on the pt lads. the score doesnt do portugal justice tho as they really did play a good set of games.
get snos demos here.
gg's all round. ireland play belgium in their next game sometime next week.
