    Decided to post this anyway. I'll mail you a copt too Bunns.

    : Basic...
    : Quake Nick :
    DeVore

    : Real Name :
    Tom Murphy

    : Clan(s) :
    Clan Leader of Clan Giblets.
    Hib# 42. (sub)

    : Technical...
    : Rough spec of Computer(s) you play Quake on :
    Crap :)
    p120, no secondary cache (ouch) 32mb ram, 17in monitor.

    : What connection do you use (ISDN/56k modem/T3, etc) :
    ISDN

    : Usually what ping do you have on Irish Servers :
    80-300 :)
    usually about 80 at rest and 100-120 during battle.

    : Gameplay...
    : FOV :
    110

    : Sensitivity :
    11 but most ppl HALVE their sensitivity when playing on my machine.


    : I am best at : (Duel, CTF, Arena, Ffa, etc)
    Arena I guess. I haven't played CTF in ages.

    : Favorite Duel level :
    DM2

    : Favorite Melee level :
    E4M3 (mmmmm Quad, esp with that "Quad remains after a kill" patch!)
    except Von swine has a permanent sniffer proggie running and it alerts him
    if there is an E4M3 ffa going on ANYWHERE in the world and he joins and
    beats me :(

    : Favorite CTF level :
    The Palace of Hate (E4M4) very even level.

    : General Questions (can't vote for yourself or your clan).....
    : Player with the best aim (in Ireland) :
    Koopa or Overlord

    : Best 3 overall Quake players in Ireland

    Depends on the level/mod but here goes...
    HPB
    1)Tomb
    2)Beast
    3)Ser (only cos he doesn't play other mods, otherwise I might put him higher...)

    LPB
    1)Koopa
    2)Reaper
    3)Bunny
    but Overlord and Cloud could be in there too it's very tight...

    : Best upcoming new player (98 player) :
    Ronin/ (god it kills me to say it) Gandalf since me and vex bashed his
    head straight and got him onto the mouse!

    : Best Irish Tactical Clan : (the best tactics)
    There really isn't one. Our tactics suck in general.
    Forced to pick one I'd say XCOM or Abat. All the other clans
    (im excluding CG from this entirely) just rely on their inate
    skills and ninja players.


    : Best Irish Skill Clan : (lots of good aimers)
    HPB: CW
    LPB: CT

    : The most savage HPB: (i.e. like a bot)

    Emmm well I hate LPB's who think they don't have an advantage
    over HPB's, I hate windows keyboards, I think ppl that only
    play Quake2 do so cause they can't aim in Quake. I think Koopa's
    a F*ckin bot, I think vex is cool, I think CT will win the IQCL
    finals, I think HIBS could beat the UK A team if the pings were
    equal and we were more organised, I think 1 on 1's don't determin
    whos a better player they just determin whos better at 1 on 1's.
    I think "Packet Loss" is an excuse for LPB's when their playing
    sh*te, I think HPB's suck on lans and LPB's suck on modems.

    : Best 3 Quake players in Ireland (LPB)
    1)CT.Bunny
    : 2)4K_Ser
    : 3)CT.Koopa

    : Best 3 Quake players in Ireland (HPB)
    1)CW.Beast
    : 2)CW.Tomb
    : 3)LDC.Slaanesh
    :(the best HPB in an irish clan is definitely GI.Meridian, but he's not IN Ireland)

    : Best upcoming new player (98 player) : Umm new player I think Chaos - he's a newbie who can beat any of the hibs on his day - oops he's in my clan I can't vote for him. I think Koopa is the most improved (transitioned from really good to uber-ninja).
    : Best Irish Tactical Clan : (the best tactics) GI
    : Best Irish Skill Clan : (lots of good aimers) CT
    : The most savage HPB: (i.e. like a bot) Beast scares me most.
    : The most savage LPB: (likewise) 4K_Ser

    : Optional Comments: (say whatever you like about yourself, or other players)
    : e.g. (most overrated clans/players, quake2ers, LPB's, etc etc)

    I'm very inconsistent which is my main problem. On my day I can beat anyone -
    but after work when I'm knackered I'm really crap. I have managed to beat a
    few of the england A team in duels, so I know I'm not totally crap - if I can
    just get some consistency going!! I sometimes tend to let the name of the other
    player freak me a bit (wah! I'm playing razza!!) which is a downside to my play.

    GI are the coolest clan in ireland imo, mainly due to having two sound characters
    like mouserat and cloud-warrior at their core.

    I put Bunny ahead of Ser in the player ratings which might seem strange (how could
    anyone be better than ser??). However, I think Bunny is a better overall player
    cos he's smarter and you can see it in his play. Like Sujoy, when you track Bunny in
    a game, you don't see anything flash but you can practically see him think and
    concentrate. Quake is definitely not just about running around shooting people.

    The HPB/LPB thing is strange. I've played as both for quite a while, so I know the craic
    better than most. Whether the low ping is an advantage really depends on your style of play
    (in duels anyway).

    Players who play games by controling the level (running weapons, leaving grenades on corners/spawns,
    controlling power-ups) often play just as well with a high ping as a low. Players who depend on their
    shot will be at a bigger disadvantage and be crap hpb's.
