OpenArena - A History Of His Players

[Peter Silie]

Greetings, Players!

On our site we started a little project about the history of oa players.
It would be nice, if you could support our idea, to make the flow and connections between clans more visible for all.
The idea behind, is to see, wich players played in which clan.

Feel free to write all about your clan history but be neat enough to _not_ insult your old pals

The thread can be found here: http://god-oa.de/smf/index.php?topic=1389

thx for your support!

Started playing in autumn 2007. Joined =SC= after 4 months or so, and I am a member ever since.
Boring or stable?

[Peter Silie]

I guess "stable"
As you can see in the above link (http://god-oa.de/smf/index.php?topic=1389), many players just joined one clan and stay there.
So: support them and write your own thread there

I found out about OpenArena around October 2007 from doing a Wiki search of portable games. This was version 071. After I installed and played it, I thought it would be cool to past the time. Plus, I got my GF (Hitwoman) to play as well. After playing on my LAN, we decided to play against others. At that time, the big name teams were /V/, Brutal, *SS*, ThD that I knew of. The top teams collaborated to make a group called [N] for Noobs so that clans can train new prospects and recruit them.

Some of the [N] players back then was Myself, Hitwoman, sns, Alma, BillGates. I learned the game from many good players (Odigo, bogie mainly) and was asked to join /V/ about 4 months later (early 2008). At that time, many people of V  (Wii, Gerbil, Bogie, Repta, Mobster) left the group to formed their own team (-X-) at that time before starting oAN later on.

During the 2008 year, all that was left was Myself, Hitw, ME, Ikemon, Twizzler, RashDawg, sns, Vile. Later we recruited Drunken^Master, RoboJew, JessicaRA, Shishio. Robo Left joined *beer*, Vile quit playing and Shishio disappeared after moving to version 081. Then we began recruiting people like Alma, Specious, RoOster, Hairball (early 2009). We were a powerhouse team with our new additions. But toward the middle of 2009, members left the group for different reasons (tension between each other, lack of interest).

 At the end of 2009, I decided to leave /V/ and go solo for awhile. Alma, Jess, and Hitw were the only ones that kept /V/ alive (Later they recruited dsd). I played more on EU servers, instagibbing, All Rockets using multiple aliases (CloudStrife, Orochi, {C}easar). Now in 2010, I joined up with small groups (Kozaks, Moto's) but officially in the d/p clan with Wii, Butters, RashDawg and 2 others. So far, its been interesting ride. I plan on continuing to make more history with this game.

I can't load the god website, couldn't at home and can't here (and it are different ISPs) :s

Clans are lame, and nothing  makes  me smile more than beating  a bunch of clan boys in their  own  server. LOL

to generalize is the right way to bring up our society!

Good shot ! XD

[Bane]

Most clans and clan members I run into are ok and helpful but some are aholes and sore losers but there will always be these types of people in any game I just say nothing and let them rage.

[Logan]

I just  don't  see the  point...

Communautarism is bad, but communities is good, and necessary for human. Else, you wouldn't talk in a forum.

[Logan]

Being in a  clan with a silly  little clan tag is quite  different  than chatting on a  forum.  I see  what you mean about the  social aspect, but I can chat with other players and  use MSN or  whatever to keep  in  touch  with them without being in a clan. Like  I said,  I  don't see  the  point.

[HelloKitty!]

The point is playing team games, like TDM and CTF.

Much like you play in a team when you play football or basketball. Having a team of players, who work on strategies, and play in leagues, is often more interesting than eternal random matches with random people against random people.

All team-based games have, well, teams

Well you know what? That makes sense. I still enjoy the eternal random matches with random people though, unless I can get a few friends from MSN or something.

Seeing as how I am not a team game player though, it makes even more sense now why I'm not into clans.

So do I, in fact this is all I do.

If you only do casual FFA and duel, then there is really not that much need for a clan at all, other than the social aspects, should you desire them.

Ah, but I'm not casual, I play OA and Quake 3 every day for at least a couple hours. This doesn't make me want to go join some clan though.

[HelloKitty!]

I meant "casual" in the sense of playing for fun, not joining leagues, competitions, going to lan parties, playing for money, etc.

Well, when your in a clan some of that still doesn't happen. I have talked to quite a few clan people over the years, and generally there are no prizes or money or anything like that if you win in a clan. Things could be different now, but generally clans are just the opportunity to put a tag in front of your name and a few new dudes on your buddy list.

Guess something got lost found in translation....

[Logan]

and this topic goes belly up 

[Gig]

?

He meant "A history of its players"...

[Peter Silie]

Arena is female, so its right form has to be "her" - but i am not a native and if you like, we can write all the stuff in my language...
I do _not_ like this kind of wise ass.
(and yes: there is also a m (Turnierplatz) and a n (Stadion) form, but as i told above...)

PS: i do not mean Gig oc! thx for your hint!

[Neon_Knight]

AFAIK:
For males: his
For females: her
For things: its

I guess OA is a thing.
