Quakefest the Return!

Carnate

Hiyah Gang.

Ok its been years since i posted about Quake or any other FPS game,

But in these days of heady games populated by Muppets(no offense to Muppets the world over) How about a return to those days of '97.

That is how about i Pitch my (Army)tent again and have a revival?


That said If there is any Interest how about Quakefest 03?

Same theme, More Beer, More food, Same company?


Up to you guys!

Carn.

Cake Fiend

Got room for a few relative newbies?

Carnate

Well its how it Started, with us all being Noobs and yes,

if there is enough Interest all Quake players are welcome, old

new, dead and otherwise.

Ahh a NOOb.. well if yah check on www.quake.ie look at MP's forum you will find some info, or maybe Eric has some of the Quakefest 97 stuff in mothballs , and he may bring it out for all to see.

Eric if your around , maybe you would call me or call around to the house.


Ask away peps and i will try and answer.

Kairo

Make it happen..and i'll be there

I'm seeing alot of potential here..say we drag all the oldskooler quakers out of their hidey-holes and make a real quakelan happen again.

MindPhuck

Hey Ray,

Sure, cept, I dont live in Lucan anymore nor do I have your number.. Can you Private Message me it please and I'll give you a shout.


Sounds like a bit of a laugh this.

Giblet

This will be interesting, wouldn't mind a few TDM's in QW.

/me wonders how long it takes someone to suggest we play CS/BF1942

Skyclad

There should prolly be CS and bf1942 too (took 4 minutes)

happy?

dardoz

I'm there if the circumstances are right

ie. location = dublin and I'm here on the date in question



God, I' so love a LAN that was only quake *cough* 3, lol without all that bf1942, CS etc heaps of ******.

Mickah

I still have my pink t-shirt in the closet awaiting the day we would return to our former glory; INC-mania.

I'd be up for it, need a date to make the arrangements though.

I'm a relative noob to the scene but I'd be more than interested to go to a quake only lan. Ain't had a good lan game of it since 2001

Carnate

OK Guys n Gals

There seems to be a lot of interest so im thinking towards the end of september.

What do yah all think?

Not written in stone but for the next 3 weeks im very busy.


Carn

Nexus

lets ****in go bais!

dardoz

qw...arse...feck

bring on the q3

\o/

Shiminay

Ray me aul tub of fun!

I missed the first one, but I won't miss this one! QW all the way - we had plenty of it at the last Galway LAN and the fun was most evident (and it was really strange seeing Cloud-Warrior, DeVore and Kharn on a QW scorelist again).

So long as it's a weekend it's all good!

Ditto

ShevY

Definately up for it!

Goodshape

I'd be up for this

I take it all flavors of Quake will be available... Quake2, after all, ownz

Vincent

aiight if the time is allocated 50/50 bewteen qw and q3 ill definatly go. Its near impossible to get people to play qw at any lans in the last year its always intended to play a few games of qw but it always ends up being q3 only. And q2 ya whatever, whoever the 4 people in ireland that have played it in the last 3 years can knock themselves out but i defintely wont be playing it, no offense to q2 players. And darren for godsake qw is the best quake of the lot by far, ill get mixu or someone to set you up with fuhquake or something, you'll get all your 32bit frills and particle something something explosions etc. Respect.

dardoz

lol

ahh i duno eamo, i already have the fancy looking 1 but i play q3 with picmip 16 so why would i give a **** about how it looks. I just think the weapons are a bit...whats the word....****E

wheres the rail god damn it, lol

actually eamo, i was tyring to tie in the brown shadowy look u have in your q3 cfg. how the **** do i get rid of the really bright lights tho (ie above rail YA on pro-t4)

Carnate

Aw i remember that q1v q2v q3.. memories..

All flavours of Quake will be catered for.

Ok update time.

I have sorted out the Tent, no not the same one as b4, a newer ver, so i have been told

I will be contacting some peps for copies of the games being played, and pls pls pls DO NOT ask for Any other games to be hosted at the Lan, this is a Quaketfest <

---

See the First word

Ok will have some surprises for the old hands, and also the new Hands.. Please dont ask as i am getting that part sorted as we speak.

Ok thats it for the Mo.. Tune in for more updates as they happen.

Can we set some ground rules? I persume discharging in the water is a valid and recognised tatic?

Carnate

Tatic..


err umm dunno .. checks Quake rules,,,,

turns page,


hmmm,


turns page.


Discharging in water,,, isnt that illegal?

:@)

bubbles

How about some doom too? Might be a blast... I know its not Doomfest, but lets face it, all us old bastards spent many a night trying to get a game of multiplayer doom going before quake was invented...

Goodshape

Actually, thats not a bad idea... there's some pretty good Doom mods out there ( jdoom etc.).. I've been dieing to try them out in a DM.

...but quake first and foremost of course...

Carnate

Start a poll then, i go with Majority

John do the poll thingy.. im useless at it.
