    Sorry to advertise for the competition (or is it the old enemy).

    but check it out:
    !!MegaGame2!!

    This Saturday, 7-9 we plan to have a little madness hit the UK (and anyone else with more bandwidth than
    sense).
    We're having a purpose built mod written and its just about ready so we're gonna do it and see what happens!
    (Zarjazz is to thank yet again)

    Saturday 16th May 1900-2000 BST will be a DeathMatch frenzy. A Free For All on the id 64 Player maps.
    2000-2100gmt will be Teamplay :) on the same maps (just about the only 64 player maps lots of people have
    got)

    We dont intend to wimp out at 64 players. Getspace errors permitting we're confident that our Network and
    Server can handle 80 players well, and 100 players with a bit of a struggle. At 1900 we'd like to try for 100
    players!! If it sucks we'll drop back to 80. So, bring a friend and come and get yer arse kicked on Q2!!!! :)

    You'll need to download the maps if you havent already dm_64.exe (7.3mb)

    The Teamplay option we're going to use is similar to CTF in that we'll setup something like 6 teams and then
    assign ppl to teams automatically as they join the server. Theres a player id feature (that isnt ready yet :) but
    will make life in the teamplay session a lot easier. Also, we're actually going to turn the HyperBlaster off this
    time. Its a lag machine as each bolt it fires is tracked across the map.

    One final thing, all other servers on Dan (he's our server for these games) will close down from 18:45 til 21:05.
    So, Jailbreak and FreezeTag etc will be down for the duration.

    Come and be a part of one of the biggest UK fragfests possible online! Tell yer mates! Tell anyone!! Tell yer
    cat!!! We'd love 100 players for 7pm!!!
    All meetup in QuakeNet irc channel #barrysworld before the game and during if theres any crashes (have to
    face facts, 100 players online is real lunacy and anything could happen). Last time we had ppl arrive in the
    channel hours before the game and there wasnt a sober typist in the house by game start! Its PARTYTIME!!!
