12-05-1998 3:53pm#1Hi there ..
This isn't a glory run or anything of such, I just think I should give you people a little
History lesson.. A long time ago in a Galaxy Far Far Away....
About a year or so ago the nice people at IOL provided some rather base quake servers with
no modifications, patches and nobody had admin rights. For those of you around long enough
will remember trying to do a clan war was near impossible. Imagine ten or so players with
itchy fingers trying not to pick up weapons and not kill each other till the server rotated
to the level which was agreed and then shouting GO for the game to begin. If you ever tried
it you would remember it was complete mayhem and in alot of cases caused animosity among your
own team never mind your opponents. In any event it was Shiite.
Indigo's commitment to the gaming scene was three CTF servers which had some sort of
maintenance but always remained as ctf with no future to expand to any other patches.
At that time, the main scene for information consisted of Zero's News, the Greenfields and the
Irish Quake Post. Other sites were set-up along with clan pages, etc. New clans form, Old ones
died and even some of em break through firewalls to come alive on the scene.
Telecom Internet went into business.
Around the same time, Eddie 'Rockett' Curry set-up the Irish Games Network and established a
relationship with Telecom Internet and with alot of correspondence and meetings with TiNet and
ID software brought to life quake.ie. A Team fortress and a Free for All server were
initially set-up by TiNet and the IGN. Just to let you know that TiNET and the IGN actually
went out and bought a dedicated server at the value of about £5,000 pound. This did not
include the hosting of the server which costs about £16,000 pound per year in bandwidth
issues. I could go on and on here but I wont, not just yet..
In the meantime while everyone was playing on IOL and Indigo, John 'Cloud Warrior' Breslin,
Dermot 'MouseRat' Friel, Ed Curry and a few other players you know well were working hard on
the quake.ie web site getting it ready for the official launch of the site.
Mid Summer last year was the first major meet of most of the players in Ireland. At QuakeFest
which was hosted by Ray 'Carnate' Casey and assisted by myself. Over 200 people from all
over the country came up for it. I can tell you personally that event cost Ray a fair deal both
in monetary terms and in his personal life. The organisation and time was quite extensive with
the renting of things like the big tent to getting chairs, beer and food, etc.. Anybody who
was at QuakeFest will remember it as simply amazing crack.
With the success of QuakeFest, I decided to put together QuakeLords shortly afterwards. You would
not believe the amount of work, time, blood and guts I put into that. At that time, I got in
contact with TiNet who were more than helpful in getting this event on the road. I actually
managed to get them to host 6 duel quake servers and even went over to their premises and set
them up with Conor McGovern into the wee hours of the morning. I had admin rights, patches,
access to all and everything on those servers something which was completely unheard of in the
gaming scene.
I would not like to think I was the start of all this, more that I had good timing. Anyhow,
off I went and the competition went ahead. All the way up to the final I had intended to charge
at the door so I could cover the costs of hiring the TempleBar Music centre. At the last moment,
Lorcan Brophy from TiNet told me that TiNet would cover the cost of the hall aswell. Amazing. Not
only did they give the quake community some servers, hosted them, gave us access, helped set-up
the final, gave sound technical support, paid for the hall, they then such prizes from cool
jackets to free tinet accounts!
QuakeMas was organised as a social gathering by Lorenzo 'Blade' Caira and Tom 'Devore'. A great
session to be had and many more followed in its footsteps. More beer and even better games in
Trinity which most piiss-ups regularly ended up thanx to the CT guys.
After Christmas, the quake.ie servers really came into power. Incidentally, both myself and
Conor McGovern spent XMAS eve till very late getting the servers up and running for XMAS Day play
and I know that John Breslin spent hours upon hours creating and maintaining quake.ie over the
XMAS period. Enough of that.
In January a major change occurred for the servers as the complete server was changed from NT to
Linux and the bandwidth increased. Alot of tweaking and fixing was required just to get them to
a playable condition, never mind anything else. Along comes Quake II and even more servers are
set-up.
More social gatherings occur with the likes of the Celtic Warriors day out in Global Cafe and the
trip to both UCG and UL to meet up with Guns Islanders and Na Daghda. All successful quake meets.
The IGN starts hosing clan pages. Mailing groups and clan emails are given out, all set-up
and working just nicely for all concerned. A team of guys come aboard doing various pages for
the site. Alan 'As' Sweeney, Ronan 'Zero' Condon, Mick(ah) McGuiness, Brian 'Helg' Davey to
name a few who put their back-sides into their pages.
Qamex ran by Helg and other prominent quake players opens. A few other here-today-gone-tomorrow
sites open and various other things occur.
Then comes the IQCL, which really set things in motion thanx to Dermot, John and Conor. I knew
what is involved so I got stuck in on the game admin side along with Ben 'Kaile' Shouldice and
spent many a happy hour sorting out matches. The WWWBoard takes off major and with it some
interesting threads and some very outspoken characters participating.
The Hiberian Irish Quake Team takes off with Ronan 'Zero' at the forefront. The team actually
kick the hell outta one of the UK's top teams which launches Irish quake players into a frantic
time.
I gear myself up for the new QuakeLords '98 competition and start putting the web site up.
Some loudmouthed comments and rather unsociable behaviour starts appearing on the WWWboard and it
was only a matter of time when it would go wrong which inevitably it did which resulted in the
board closing for a week or so and Zero leaving quake.
Other Things occur..
----
All this time people are playing on the servers and demanding, complaining, screaming all over
the net about how Shiite the IGN and Tinet is. I've been off-line for the last month, but I have
been watching the WWWboard and I also have been very active in the background working on the
setting up of the IQCL final, the QuakeLords competition, meeting in Galway and Dublin for the
Irish Games Network and also doing various work on the quake.ie servers never mind the other
things that you guys aren't even aware of yet.
All this work that I have done, never mind those people I just mentioned above and it now feels
like a big stab in the back with the rantings of some you players who have and do jack shiit for
the Irish quake world.
I've talked to John, Conor and Ed and we have to agree that not only does your comments piiss us off
but we find them abusive. Personally, I done alot for quake and it feels that I no matter what I do
I get no fuuckin respect from lame ass newbies who haven't got the foggiest fuuckin idea of how much
time and effort we put in. Yeah you might be great players, you could probably wipe my ass in
a DM but one thing you haven't got is a bit of courtesy and respect.
Sure there is issues which require fixing with the servers, but there is only so many hours in a
day and there is only so much resources one can get a handle on at any one time. Hey I don't mind
constructive complaints and the odd biitching, but some of your comments are way outta line.
You moan that you don't have a server and when your provided with one you then question the manner
in which we provide it. Id rather you all go and fuuckyouself and play on the shiitty IOL servers or
some other server, host your own web pages, get your own emails and mailing lists, set-up and
look after the various competitions going on, etc, etc and above all just F U C K O F F cos I know I
got better things to be doing with my time than listening to some pubescent fuuckwit.
If your not here to help solve the problems then don't be part of the problem.
Over the years I've made some great friends from the net and in general I think most of you are great.
But there is the arsewipes. You guys have gone too far this time.

Fair Fux to ya, ur right bout all of it all we are is ungrateful fucwits so its a bout time that we started to show ppl like Eric and John the respect that they deserve instead of running there sites and servers down, if ya want to complain FUC off and make ur own sites and servers as Eric says :P
And no i aint being sarcastic.0 -

Speaking as a lame-ass newbie, I have to agree with you there, I don't have a lot of respect for you.
Don't get me wrong, i'm grateful for all the work you've done for Irish Quake, and I respect all your efforts for us, but I find it difficult to respect you personally.
To me, you've seemed quite inconsiderate in many ways, both online and in real life. It's strange, you can be a fairly charismatic person when you choose to be, but you also often behave like such a goddamn git! As least, so I find.
So, if you're looking for more respect, i'd advise you try and give more respect to others, even us lame-ass newbies!
I'd clarify what I mean when I advise you to give ppl a bit more respect, but I don't want to post anything defamatory to this board after the recent scandal. Besides, I think you know what i'm on about.

Hehehehe, I said something just like this to you not too long ago....

Dearest Jim,
It appears that maybe i have been a naughty boy toward yourself and a apology is required. But alas if your dumbass tactics and pure lameness continues then you surely fit in that category I talked about.
You Are A Muppet.
Resistance is Futile.

It's funny Eric,
Overlord and I were talking about 2 weeks ago b4 any of this
back-biting ever occured and I asked him about you and how good you were
at Quake, because I had never played you one on one, since I started
playing Quake, over a year ago.
The description of your Quake playing ability is not relevant here
but what is relevant, is that I told him he should accidently (on
purpose) let you beat him every now and then, and suffer what every
blow to his(OL's) pride it took.
Why? Because....
He said that if people like you ever loose interest in Quake or ever
find something else - Irish Quake would recover - but it would take a
damn long fuucking time!
nuf said
g'night

It's quite simple really. Eric is a really sound guy. All the serious players in Irish Quake know each other quite well, and get on like a house on fire. The people who moan are the spotty teenage muppets. Unfortunately these muppets form the vast majority of players in this country. Just ignore them.
