Dec 12, 2000

What a night. I am proud to report that ss won its match tonite DECISIVELY, if may say, vs clan HKA. The wrap-up can be found @ ss vs hka - TP.net link. If you follow the rants on that link, I think you read it almost as bad a soap opera. Anyways, gg hka. As ss-sB stated earlier, "HKA was one of the most professional and respectful clans I have had the pleasure of playing. For those of you that missed the dm7 game, ask someone for the demo. Great game, gl in the other rounds." Our next round as we are pretty much now in the finals given that it is double elimination, is vs clan |12|. You can follow the rants and story @ ss vs |12| - TP.net link. Good luck ppl.

We welcome a great addition to our clan, Corgan. Also reporting that Carnage has retired. GL dood.

- ss-sirdark


Dec 2, 2000

Carnage has renamed to Asskilla. (Don't ask me, I simply report the news).

Nov 29, 2000

No sooner did I say that ss-paxed was goin inactive, that he decided to leave altogether. Also, ss-aleron decided the same thing. Good having you on board gents. Good luck. Yall's always welcome in our chat channel.

In other news, if you haven't heard, Clan The Wretched broke up and will not be playing us for the next round in SHOWDOWN2 Ladder. As a result, they forfeit and we advance. Its not the way we wanted to advance, but we move on. The specific link to the round is here... ss vs tw - TP.net link

- ss-sirdark


Nov 28, 2000

We got someone going inactive. Who is it ? --->ss-paxed.

- ss-sirdark


Nov 24, 2000

Just a small note of change, our member ss-Decanter has renamed to ss-Elwood. Don't ask me, I simply report the news. Our next SHOWDOWN2 Ladder match has to be played before November 29, 2000, 12 midnight. Go to the ss vs tw - TP.net link directly to read up on some of the rants. Also ss-Iceolate is active once again. Welcome back to action, I think =) .

    I am proud to announce the addition of Paxed. Those of you who know paxed, know its a good addition to the clan. Sunday night is our Showdown2 match vs clan TRT. GO SS.

    - ss-sirdark


    Nov 7, 2000

    SS is proud to have joining us: Habib, Gashuffer, Carnage, Decanter, and Slug. These players are solid players some more focused in 1on1 competition and/or Team Death Match. Welcome aboard fellas. For various reasons, some ss players have been placed on the inactive list. They remain busy with real life "stuff" or their connections have worsened.

    - Sir Dark


    Oct 29, 2000

    SS wins its first round match in SHOWDOWN2 vs clan IDS. SS is found in the EAST Conference. SHOWDOWN2 is a ladder competition with double elimination chances. That means a clan would need to loose 2 matches entirely within SHOWDOWN2 to be completely eliminated from the event. Great games and great showing by SS. Our next match is more than likely vs clan TRT.

    - Sir Dark


    Oct 23, 2000

    A lot going on in the Quake3 scene. QIL4 is underway with many good matches having been played over the last 3 weeks. QIL4 is in its 4th week. SHOWDOWN2 is about to begin. Good news is that ss was seeded #7. For the most part, that is our main focus right now. More again soon!

    - Sir Dark


    Oct 2, 2000

    Due to time and my travelling this week, I wanted to simply post these pics ASAP. More news later (hopefully from everyone in ss who attended Frag4 --> Frag4 Snap Shots.

    Sept 20, 2000

    Glad to report we have added the last of the ss recruits this evening. We welcome Dolph and Aleron to our squad. We are building for teamplay competition now, as well as for the future. Rumor has it that that teamplay.net is sponsoring another great season of SHOWDOWN, Q3 Team Deathmatch competition. According to the comments made in IRC ETG, the SHOWDOWN2 page should be up within a week..

    Also, our recent TP.net competitions included matches against SNB where they took 2 games. GG fellas. We also matched against Dark Requiem, where ss took it 2 - 0. GG fellas. Other matches are being scheduled but most of my focus now is to LAN practice for the FRAG4 competition being held in Dallas Texas on September 28 thru October 2, 2000. We hope to get plenty of pics and report on it as details become available. One recent news flash is that we have been seeded for FRAG4. Silent Service is seeded #25. You can read more about it at: Challenge US DOT COM.

    Sept 8, 2000

    We remain on da road of buzy-ness. No one can say we are idle. This week alone was packed with lots of activity within the quake community. For starters, Qil4 teams were announced Thursday night by nB.Bishop and nB.Falc of Teamplay.net. There weren't any surprised, per se. Good luck to the teams choosen both wesside and esside. Earlier in the week, we matched against "The Wretched" where they took 2 games to our 1. GG fellas. We also matched against Clan No Mercy, where ss took it 2 - 0. GG fellas. Other matches scheduled are: #1: ss vs Clan Infraction Saturday night 9/9/00 @ 10:00 pm edt. #2: ss vs Clan QGirlz on Sunday night 9/10/00 @ 10:00 pm edt. Lots more to come. We are also hopeful that teamplay.net will sponsor and create another great season of SHOWDOWN, Q3 Team Deathmatch competition. We'll see..

    We would also like to welcome Rivet0r to ss. He comes to us with much experience and skillz. It is a welcome! Good Luck dood..

    Aug 31/Sept 1, 2000

    A very busy day/nite it was. We had two matches tonight, Thursday, 1st vs Clan Druid and 2nd vs Clan QuakeMarines. GGs to both Clans, ss wins 2 - 0 and 2 - 0. As promised to our clan, we were going to become more active or DIE trying. Thank gawd I didn't have to call the Funeral home and set an appointment with them. What makes this even more pleasurable is the contribution made by more than a few people in ss. Everyone has stepped to the plate and is giving their heart to win. There are other matches being scheduled. We continue to hope to get these arranged... they include: #1: ss vs Clan Infraction ... #2: ss vs Clan Hyperteam ... #3 ss vs Clan HOPw and recently .... #4 ss vs QGirlz. More to report later..

    August 29, 2000

    Lots of News to report. I will display it in pieces:.

    "Shaka Wins Q3 1on1 Tourney!: Over the past weekend, Shaka Won the Q3 1on1 Tourney at the Vindication LAN in Parma, Ohio. The LAN consisted of 35+ people (in one tiny house + garage) and was a three day blast! The Q3 tourney was 1on1 Single Elimination format, with the maps chosen randomly via dice rolls. Shaka breezed through his first few rounds but had to step it up a notch as the competition got quite fierce. Here are his final two games (DEMOS) to download and watch if you missed the action. Other Tournaments at the LAN included an 8v8 RA3 battle (shaka was on the winning team),and a gigantic Instagib match (shaka finished 3rd overall) with more than 20 people! After the LAN was completed, he walked away with a new Everglide mousepad, a Gravis Destroyer Tilt Joystick, and a copy of the full version of "Heavy Metal FAKK2". More information about the tourney can be found at Vindinet.com Page ."

    - Shaka

    We are also very proud to add Replica to the ss squad. He is no stranger (no more so than I am) to the quake scene. He brings his skills and great approach to the game...sense, respect and enthusiasm. Frag em hard, Replica.

    The clan remains very active recently accepting many scrimmages and playing our hearts out. Tonite we played Clan QuakeMarines (QMS) in 2 scrimz. GG fellas. We are also solidifying our game strategies for game play. Hopefully, it will pay off. On Thursday, August 31, 2000 we have two matches to play. The 1st is vs Clan Druid @ 11:00 pm EDT and the other is at 1:30 am vs Clan QMS. We are also toying with the idea of another two matches before the end of the week. They could be vs Clans Genesis and Infraction. More on this later. Buckle up and get ready for some fraggin fellas. So "Polish those rail guns, warm those rockets, and charge up the plasma rifle Wilma, Cuz Fred is coming home.".

    - Sir Dark


    August 26, 2000

    We played our match tonight, Saturday, vs Clan Stalk & Kill. GGs Clan S&K , ss wins 2 - 0 . Other matches up and coming. Hope to get these arranged... #1: ss vs Clan Infraction ... #2: Received a challenge from Clan Hyperteam ... #3 Trying to set up match vs Clan HOPw. See pics in the ss gallery page..

    - Sir Dark


    August 25, 2000

    This week we had several matches scheduled. Played vs Clan SNB on Wednesday night. We were also scheduled to play Clan Texas. Unfortunately, we waited and waited and they never showed. We finally found one of their clan members on a server. He said that their clan had pulled out of TP.NET tournaments. Would have been nice to hear from them on this matter. They forfeit the match. The current remaining match is on Saturday night vs Clan Stalk & Kill. Other matches coming remain on Teamplay.net .

    August 22, 2000

    NEWS worthy and fit to print: YOGIC is back..

    - Sir Dark


    August 20, 2000

    SS continues to evolve. We have done some serious recruiting. We are glad to have Wasp & Iceolate join us. They will both add to the strength of the clan. We are also happy to have Preech join us. A relatively new and upcoming player. We are actively having matches now. We just had our 2nd match UTR Teamplay.net event. We played Clan House Nemesis. GG fellas. SS wins 2-0. We have another 2-3 matches being set up as we speak. They should be done within the next two weeks. You can go and check out the pics in the gallery section of the web page. Lastly, we are sorry to see Yogic leave ss. Gluck dood. You know where your home is should you see the "light.".

    August 14, 2000

    Wow. Has it been that long already since the last entry. The answer is yes. It has been a busy summer for me and the clan as well. Clan mates enjoying summer events here and there. As we enter August, we prepare by becoming more "Q3 match" active and begin accepting Q3 challenges. I am glad to say that we had our first official match in q3 vs Clan |12| - GGs. Clan |12| took it in 2 games (following Teamplay.net format - best 2 out of 3). We have a few other matches to be arranged while also some already scheduled. We continue to accept scrimmages and scrim vs clans on IRC. We will continue doing more and more of that over the weeks to come. Also, next month will be the long awaited FRAG4 Event down in Dallas Texas. So far, sirdark - sittingbear - shakazulu - saddam and hollywood plan to attend. We hope yogic can make it as he is also signed up for the BYOC and 4on4 competition. More on that later. Check around. News and pics and changes abound in the ss pages..

    - Sir Dark


    July 4, 2000

    As expected, summer months have slowed things down a bit. Given the warmer weather and stuff, more people are outside enjoying these days making it hard to stay locked up behind your PC. Of course, unless you are someone like sB or Yogic =), just kiddin. One tid bit of Good News in June is that ss`siwy has finally gone LPBness. He moved and hooked up with Cable, for now. Maybe DSL later. Welcome to the real world Siwy - Careful who you point that thing too! you might hurt yerself with that new "gun." June has flown by and now we begin with a July entry. One newsflash to report. There is a lan scheduled for late July in Ohio.

    "July Whackdown: The July 2000 WhackDown LAN has begun registration for this LAN, which will take place on July 21-23, 2000 in NorthEast Ohio"

    June 7, 2000

    Not too much has been happening in our world. We remain active in scrimz here and there. Some gallery pics are up. Summer is here. Given that, I suspect things will slow down a little bit. People are heading out to vacations and business is busy all around. The key world remains "fun." We want to welcome Grimworth and Fueled to ss. If anyone is up for some serious q3dm13, see ss`fueled . He is a competitive soul and appears to be a good match for the clan. Good Luck man. ss`grimworth on the other hand is a solid playa from up North, Canada that is. Even more specific - he is from Quebec! Welcome dood. On a serious note, we had two episodes with real life medical crisis this 1st week in June. ss`saddam was hospitalized this week for some abdominal pain. Hope you weather the storm there dood. There is nothing like taking a RL or Rail Shot to the stomach. Get well soon and hurry back. The other episode was my wife. She is doing better now - once they removed her appendix. Thank gawd we caught it early, before it exploded. Other than that, we idle in IRC..

    Its been a little while, but then again there are real life events outside quake3 arena - yes I said real stuff. The clan remains active as we have picked up the pace a little in accepting scrims. We've had a chance to spread around the scrims with a few number of clans. Good to see the group forming a solid base of experience. MacDaddy has gone inactive. Thing is he is very active in little league base ball with his son and has had minimal time to play on line. Moreover his connection using DSL has seemed to go "south" as well. Mac ownz and he is welcome anytime to step in. We also have a new recruit for our clan. We welcome Yogic to ss. He has been a around a while and ownz. Its a treat having him on board. Good Luck man. BTW, make sure you oil that RAIL GUN often. Given the amount of frags per rail, I figure it will need a heavy dosage of Oiling each and every night, =) . Summer is here. As we usually begin this season, many people will be on break and stuff from school and work. Things may slow down a bit but I'm sure we will maintain a local presence in da channel. Cyas around the dark corners of q3dm6..

    April 27, 2000

    This weekend will be quite busy for the Q3 scene. As part of the Quake Invitation League "QIL", the top final four Q3 clans that competed during the regular season are scheduled to compete in a LAN competition in the San Francisco California area for the Inaugural title. Here is an excerpt from that event:

    "It's Final Four time in the Quake Invitational League. The Stickmen, Clan Kapitol, r3volution, and abuse will play for the championship at Club-I in San Francisco on April 28-30. Don't miss the coverage! The QIL Final Four will also feature a 1v1 and Team DM tournament open to the public." Read more about it here -->Teamplay

    April 24, 2000

    Although there weren't many entries this month, much did happen in our own `lil world. Many changes, some inevitable, some expected, some not....life goes on. I'm pleased to say the fellas within ss are here to be ss. Also with the world of Quake 3 Arena, the month of April is a special month this year. You see, The Gentiles have Palm Sunday, the Christians have Easter, but the Qu4kst3rs have the CPL Tournament (I know, but you get the picture). The CyberAthlete Players League had a huge event this month in which world class fraggors came to Dallas Texas to compete in an unprecedented event where the three top 1on1 winners won a combined sum of $70,000. 1-st place prize alone took home $40,000. Congrats to Fatality from Clan Negative Burn for some serious Own4g3. Not bad for on-line gaming. The director of CPL also announced recently that things are in the works to even further advance the coverage and also top prize for the TOP SPEED spot. Rumor has it close to $100,000. Is this true? More to come I'm sure from CPL. For more on this event, check out The CPL.

    Here is a top list of why I think its a great time to be alive.

  • Spring is finally here.
  • Quake 3 Arena - ss is actively scrimmaging.
  • Summer is around the corner.
  • CABLE MODEM baby!!! =) Life is grand. What else can one expect? Additionally, most of ss is now LPB's except for two key players who remain HPB's, namely ss`Shakazulu and ss`Angeldust. However, Router's news has it that they will both be goin LPB soon.. DSL or Cable Modem perhaps. Well see.

    February 24, 2000

    No sooner did I close my eyes and things change. Well, I am glad to announce that a GOD does exist. I've always known this but, Slug has received good news. He now has an install date for cable modem. Yep, you read right. He apparently is scheduled for a 1 pm install on March 1, 2000. Well, if all holds true he will finally be able to surf da net as LPB (and own equally as bad in q3). We all know why slug wanted LPBness after all don't we? hehe ya we do. The other good news is that everything is moving ahead for me also. I will also be moving locally and I am building a new home. The home is being built with a network for all bedrooms and den/office for access to the internet via Cable Modem. So I too will be LPB-ster (hopefully) by the end of March 2000. Slug will have @home and I will have Time Warner Road Runner service. Well as a result of all this, Slug had returned to ss. Welcome back and I hope yr lil mini vacation was restful. Get ready to own with yr ping and pc! A fragin we will go, a fragin we will go, high hi amario, a fragin we will go.

    February 16, 2000

    Last nite we had a meeting and voted on the starting line up for ss in official q3 matches. Glad to announce that Squad #1 includes Saddam, Mac, SittingBear , and Hollywood . Our Squad #2 consists of at least greenhornet, shakazulu, angeldust, flash, bushviper, and me. These were established to give us a starting point. They can change and are subject to change given player practice time, teamplay, skill and overall (good) attitude. Remember fellas, this is for fun as well as winning. A solid and long lasting clan has both ingredients or else what are we here for? Ok, let's stick to the practice schedule and play your heart out.

    - Sir Dark


    February 13, 2000

    Some good times being had by all. We are moving ahead with our routine bi-weekly q3 clan practices. Glad to see many ss hanging and playing. We will be doing some clan scimmies some of which we have already happened and some to come. Met up with a clan called NWO. ggs doods. Do more again soon. Here are the scrimmies -- ss vs nwo.

    - Sir Dark


    January 29, 2000

    We had a good clan meeting tonite @ 11 pm EST covering many needed issues. Thanks to those who attended Shaka, Saddam, Mac, GreenHornet, Flash, and Hollywood. Bush informed me he was not gonna make it. The basic agreements are Clan Q3 practices twice a week, Wednesday nite @ 8:30 pm CST (9:30 pm EST) and Saturday nite @ 10 pm CST (11:00 pm EST). As we further develop our team play, 1st string playing will be assigned based on performance. In fact, it was suggested that we vote on who the starting line will be. Of course, if one doesn't practice with the clan, one cannot expect to play in matches either. Commitment is needed. Additionally, we will begin scrimmaging with other clans soon. Good practice this evening fellas. More again soon.

    It is my sad duty to report that SLUG aka Yoshi has decided to quit ss and quit quaking all together. I remember when I first met him on a server (net quake CTF) back in Dec 1996. The newness of quake had us excited of what could be. Sadly enough, he has other plans. In his own words... " - for those who may not have heard yet.. ive decided to call it quits with the quake scene.. reasons being qw is dead and q3 i literally hate and 3 there is nothing to gain out of it anymore. The last thing i want to do is sit in the channel and just chat the next few years away. like i told sd, the times ive quit b4 i had qw 2 come bak to, this time, i have no reason to come back to ss clan. the scene is q3 and q3 isnt my game.. im going back to programming.. in which i regret ever leaving." Miss ya man. Stop in IRC whenever.

    - Sir Dark


    January 28, 2000

    Isn't it sad how real life interferes with quake life (heheehe). Sadly enough I was out for about 6 days this past week. Work calls. Well as predicted by many, Quake3 is apparently not IMMUNE to hacks, packs and wooly wacks. There are reports that bots, timers, and other radar devices are being used out there. Its sad. ID better get on the ball soon to correct this or you can kiss q3 off for serious online competition. But then again, what can ID do? Well, as a for instance, check out this informative link... here is a HACKS/PAKs. Please check the #ss channel ss mates, we have a meeting for this Saturday nite @ 11 pm est. We also had a scrimmie vs clan dr hpb style 3on3. Here is the scrimmie ss vs dr pic.

    January 17, 2000

    The last of our recruiting has been completed. We did not openly solicit recruits and it worked out best this way. Considering we are building a close group of players in skill and attitude, we were relatively selective in the people we considered and finally accepted. Welcome Archon. He is currently 56ker HPB, and has a good history with quakeworld. We have also begun routine clan practices and are scheduling Q3 arena Death Match scrimmages. Tonite, it was great to go on a server and have pickups. We did scrimmie clan kablooie! [K] 3on3. I plan to redesign the pics and matches page for easier use. Since this is our first real Q3 scrimmage as a clan, here is the scrimmie ss vs K! pic. More to come, more to learn, more to play!!

    - Sir Dark


    January 15, 2000

    Also want to mention the addition of Rufio . He was previously with clan SGP, which is no longer in existence. We had talked with the clan about possibly joining Teamplay.net's Q3 ShowDown . Its a Quake3 Arena Tournament that begins January 17, 2000. For the time being, the game is not only new to some of our members, but we still need to regroup. Doesn't make sense in my book to put forth a team, if that team is not in a position to play TP yet, especially competitively. Perhaps the next round. To do this, we need ppl who will be around enough to practice, learn the levels, and be ABLE to play (ping and PC alike).

    - Sir Dark


    January 14, 2000

    In the infamous words of LUG aka slug aka yoshi, " well well well." Needless to say even as I write this I am amazed and have to take a step back. Its been a long while since I sat here thinking of what to add to this news section. SS is a dinosaur in my book. In spite of all the turmoil, vacations, laggs, packet losses, moves from cities, work schedules, school commitments, and changes within the clan, we remain HERE. Alive. Somewhat active. So........where do I begin? What do I say?

    Probably the best place to start is to consider who remains in ss. We are now 3 yrs + strong. Sittingbear (SB), Slug (whoknowsnowadays), and I (SD) continue leading the clan. One of the most solid moves we made over the last 12 months was to welcome into ss a group of guys from Houston. Saddam, MacDaddy, Bush-Viper, GreenHornet, and Hollywood have joined us. Talk about a great group of guys. These pplz add to our skill and compliment the group with maturity and solid attitudes. It is a treat! Welcome fellas. Although they are new to ss, they are not new to quaking. Shakazulu aka Shaka also joins us as a new member. Welcome shaka. Get ready to use yr l337 skeelz in Q3. Angeldust is also a welcomed addition to ss. He is no stranger (no stranger than most) to us. He has been in clans such as DG, Liquid and a few others. He, like most of us, hope to make the painless (=>) jump to the new Quake evolution. Oh yes, talk about quaking, for the most part we have toyed with the idea of the next on line gaming we want to do as a clan collectively. For now, we will continue playing minor QWDM intra scrimmies, but the future is QUAKE 3 ARENA.
