May 31, 1999

We have a two new member named Nitemare & Clubber, welcome. Although they are new to ss, they are not new to qw dm. They come to us with previous qw dm experience from clan ra (Red Abyss). Good to see the clan taking on its role as we progress into (maybe) new uncharted waters. SS remains active in intra qw dm and some qw3test. But for the longer haul, we have yet to see what Q3 will offer. They will need to make it more q1 friendly before we can fully accept it. Otherwise, we may find CANDYLAND ON-LINE more suitable. heeh, jk.

Well, its been a while since I've updated much here. Reason is I've been busy (work and all). Our clan has been busy with TEQ and this season, there is some tough competition. Hats off to all the clans we've played during the last 3-4 weeks. I intend to have the battles page updated by the time you read this updated news page. In TEQ, we have only one team playing, ss. We have played clans FITH (2/25/99 fith wins 2-0), The Stone Clan (TSC) (3/4/99, TSC wins 2-0), Zug (3/11/99, SS wins 2-0), and Negative Burn (NB) (3/18/99, NB wins 2-0) . GG fellas. Til next week's TEQ.

We have a new member named K-Bear. Welcome dood. Lekim has left da clan.

TEQ is off and running. We did sport two teams for the first time in our history for a qw dm tourney. However, after some initial reviews, we are removing one team from teq competition. Main reason is to better focus and concentrate our competitive efforts on one team rather than two. I informed PB|Grunt about the removal of the second team. In TEQ, ss1 beat clan LS (Lost Souls) and ss2 lost to clan im (Iron Monkey). GG fellas. Til next week's TEQ. On a lighter note, ss`Cmor is expected back soon. In fact, he finally showed up this morning after about what seemed to be eternity to him (Im sure). Welcome back and here's hoping Time Warner keeps you running on your cable modem (Damn LPB).

Well after what seemed to be a long delay, TEQ begins this week. We are glad to finally get some matches goin again. However, I have mxied feelings about this. Personally speaking, QW DM in my opinion is this ... "QW DM competition over the net DOSENT mean anything." The primary reason for this is that there are numerous hacks, cracks and craps out there on the net being used by many many clans. So at the end of a match as one friend put it, "You don't know whether to compliment their skillz or their aimbot/pak2/proxy...or whatever." So its with mixed feelings that we get this new TEQ season under way. There is no effective way to prevent cheating (other than LAN competitions where total control can be used) , so as a result, we go on hoping that clans will play honorably.

On the lighter side...I need to POST this one... way to go bone head [16:51] because? [16:51] hey ecoli gesus H christ [16:52] type this "nick chanserv" [16:52] * xc|stevenog sighs [16:52] haha :D [16:52] *** xc|stevenog is now known as Chanserv [16:52] *** Quits: Chanserv (G-lined) .

For now, ss will remain is Gamesnet.net irc servers. Oh yes another thing, ss'Viper is know renamed himself is goes by the name of ss'Scorpion.

As a first within the clan, Silent Service is fielding two teams for TEQ. Our 2/18/99 TEQ match is as follows: ss team 1 vs Lost Souls and ss team 2 vs Clan Iron Monkey [IM]. From all accounts, the TEQ season will be around for a few months.

We like to welcome ss'roadrunner to our clan. He is an HPB but at times manages to even out ping the best HPBs out there. Welcome dood. Rock hard on the QW DM servers.

Franko and Anti have "retired" from our clan.

Feb 3, 1999

Major news on the gamesnet server front. There was some apparent split among IRC servers within GAMESNET.NET. As a result, serveral servers have moved on and created their own network offering CHANSERV. SS has yet to decide if we are going to move entirely to this new IRC service called GAMENODE.NET. (ie. pa.gamenode.net or NY or PA etc). More to come on this as we don't want to be on two servers at once.

Well, its been some time since the last news report. Fact is, we have been doin a lot of idling and also scimming intra clan qw dm. We had to get everyone back and even when all returned from holidays and such, it took everyone a bit to get their stuff together. We are tho B....A......C......K. Lots a news to state so let me start with this. We welcome : Cthulhu to ss. He is not knew to quakeworld either. Previous clan experience was ESAD qw dm. As an LPB cable dood, it only helps his mad skillz. Glad to see em on board. Also want to report, ss`DawgBear & ss`Viper participated in Ecoli's LAN party in January. Also, ss`Slug, and me ss`SirDark went to January's LAN party held by the Akron Gamers League (AGL). Check us out AGL @ http://www.akrongamers.com . We should also be there for February etc etc etc.

We welcome ss`Taipan to the clan. His tude rocks above his skillz and guess what... his skillz wonz, so you can guess what kinda person he is. Great to have ya on board.

Some news to report. We welcome : Lekim aka Tjer to ss. He is not knew to quakeworld and has solid skillz. Glad to see you on board. Also need to report, Killah'Kid is now known as Franko. Since we are solely a QW DM clan now, we are now set up to manage the clan via three leaders, namely Slug, Sittingbear and me. Until Quake 3 comes out, we will continue our efforts in this arena.

News of the QW available Tourneys are this --> "PB|Grunt says TEQ comin in Feb `99'. I'm thinking of starting signups on maybe January 25th, ". If this holds true, we will once again be active in TEQ (Thursday Evening Quake League. More to come.

Several tid bits of news to report. Some playa changes include: The-Rock will not return to his T1 connection this spring semester. We will miss ya dood. He goes inactive for now. We welcome Killah'Kid back into the fold. This one took some discussion. In spite of his history, ss feels that he can contribute in many ways. The path is set, now we will wait and see. Gluck man. There is a playa called Austin that is not new to ss qw dm. He is a relatively young player but has shown remarkably mature attitude and definitely Skill. We welcome him to the clan!

I've started looking around to see when and/or where the new Tourneys will begin. We hope to join 1-2 events this season and be active in the QW DM scene. More to come soon.
