Funny shit
I know I probably aggravate some of you
with these Mr. Cranky movie reviews but the guy makes me laugh so hard I hurt myself
sometimes. Anyway I know a few of you read him regularly like I do. I just read this
review and laughed my ass off. The last paragraph just killed me. This movie sounds so
whacked and stupid I've got to see it. FRaG GoD let me know if you ever see this in the
video stores, hehe. Here is the review: "Mr. Cranky Kissed review"

LAN BLAST 2
Ok, we are getting closer and closer to
getting specifics on this. Right now if I am not mistaken we are shooting to have it
around either (Saturday) March 6th or March 13th. It will be here in Naples, Florida (exact location still to
be determined...). These dates fall in line with spring break so that perhaps both
Antimatter and Jundice can make it from out of town. Also if any of you other guys are
thinking of coming let me know. I can help to set up accommodations etc if you want. We
are gonna have probably anywhere from 8-10 computers I think (assuming all that come are
bringing at least 1).
Everyone please let me know how these dates sound
and tell me if one or the other sounds best for you. EVERYONE EMAIL ME AND SAY WHETHER YOU ARE COMING OR NOT. Please? Hehe, anyway this one is gonna be kickass. We are
gonna have legit contest and matches, food, drink, and also prizes to give out. Should be
a lot of fun. - Jazzman-X-[11:50 am EST]
Daily Jazz...
FRaG GoD explained what happen to me on
Tuesday pretty well so I wont go into it. I wanted to let you all know that I will be gone
this entire weekend so I will make sure the servers are up like late Friday night and then
I wont be around to check them until Sunday late afternoon.
I keep hearing a new AQ2 release is near and I think
if it is as bug free as they say maybe our constant server crashes will become a thing of
the past. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Wouldn't it be nice to be like back in the old
days and not have to worry about if the server is going to be up when you go online? Sheez
what a pain in the ass! - Jazzman-X-[11:50 am EST]
Site Updates...
I updated the quote of the day on front
page. Also I saw that FRaG GoD put links to the mouse rate programs on the files page. If
you have a PS2 mouse you should go check those out. - Jazzman-X-[11:50

Practices and server stuff
Well the AQ practice the other night
was right after a business meeting we had, and although I remembered about it, Greg was at
our place and couldn't do anything about it anyway. And once again a CTF event is
fudged by crashing servers. Both ours and IWG's CTF servers crashed before the
practice start time, so we eventually ended up on ViKiNgCTF server. Apparently the Viking mod is not
long dead like I thought it was. It's still alive, with more cool features, and more
annoying bugs. It apparently is detecting locational damage because it would tell
me whenever I shot someone in the head or legs or whatever, but I don't think it actually
made any difference as far as damage goes. Towards the end of our practice I got
majorly lagged out, and so I reconnected. It seems to remember user info such as
what team you're on and what your score was if you get disconnected, but when I rejoined,
I was turned into some kind of ghost player. I was apparently on the Red team, but I didn't show
up in the score board, and I couldn't use the grappling hook at all. Eventually this
grapple problem spread to other players and soon caused the end of the practice.
It was quite fun up until then though. Myself
and at least 3 other people ran around for over an hour on maps we've never seen before.
Bumping into each other and hoping to be doing something useful for our team.
I lost track early on, but I think most of the members of each clan showed up at
some point. Too much craziness to keep track of that.
I think the CTF server crashing has something to do
with the AQ server crashing. The last two times I've been online, I went onto the AQ
server and played until it crashed. Then I switched over to the CTF server, which
would run fine for a while, and then I would start pinging 999 for 5-10 seconds and then
the server would just stop responding. It happened almost exactly the same both
times, but we were on different maps and with different people. Probably some new
code in the latest version of CTF conflicting with something in the Action server.
Luckily the word is that Bartender of the A-Team likes the Axshun .98 release and that means we should have a
new version of AQ very soon. About god damn time.

CTF PRACTICE TONIGHT
Everyone should have gotten the email
from Gator about CTF practice against IWG. This is usually fun as hell and
doesn't require you to rape a clown to attend. (man what the hell was that..rape a
clown?..hehe) Anyway we made it much easier to get to IWG's server just click that server
button up top and look for it the click JOIN..

AQ2 Practice
I just want to thank all who showed up
for the AQ2 practice last night with 6e9. Overall the practice went well once we got
all the garbage off the server, it seems someone forgot to lock the server down.
Dunno maybe no one emailed him and said if they were going to attend but even with some
garbage the practice went well. I showed off my exceptional sniper skills (yeah
right) and everyone had a good time. Jazz in the future you can expect at least four
of us to show up to practice. Also try to find five minutes to relax and have some
fun..too much work is gonna kill ya..hehe

Server pages updated
I updated the server pages last night
and today. I removed all the "dead" servers and added some from the
Gamespy list that I usually play on. If you don't like the servers then hey send us
an I.P. of a better one. I also added a few 3 Team CTF servers for the hell of it.
So check out the main page as well as the Action page...enjoy. -Freezer-[8:24 pm EST]
Lithium CTF fixed..I think?
I was finally able to take a minute to
investigate the CTF/Lithium problem. I found I had to replace 2 files to get Lithium to
work again that the new CTF version had replaced. It started fine but as usual I can not
test it here because I can not actually play from the server. All of you please check it
out tonight and let me know if the Lithium stuff is working again. - Jazzman-X-[4:50

There is a great article I just read
over at Loonygames (my daily
reading now). The article is great to me because the guy who wrote it is the same age as
me. He was bringing nostalgia tears to my eyes talking about the old days of gaming.
It is a funny article all of you should check it out if you get a second. Here is a direct

***6e9
practice
We have practice tomorrow night on our
server with 6e9. I am going to try my best to be there (= 95% chance I will be there). It
is at 9pm. Everyone please email me and let me
know if you are going to be there. Blake if you read
this I got your email. Sorry for not responding, it is on for tomorrow night.

Daily Jazz...
A few things have been going on with me
lately. As you all know I have been real busy with work stuff. (Damn real life shit!) I do
see some free time coming on the horizon so I hope it all goes well. I have barely even
been on my computer at home. When I do have some time I am doing work. I have not played
hardly any games in the last 2-3 weeks. (I did play NFS 3 on Saturday I think for like 15
minutes and I played those Beta games like one night about 2 weeks ago).
I am not trying to bitch at you guys I am just
letting you know why I have not been around. I know a lot of you wonder what's up. All of
you remember we have a pretty good sized clan. Just because I am not around does not mean
the rest of you cannot get organized and do things. I will return so be ready to get your
ass whooped when I get back, hehe. -

Server issues...
As some of you may have noticed the
servers were worse than usual at staying up this weekend. We went and installed a bunch of
new remote software on the system for the new servers here and it sucked up a lot of
space. So I had to do some house cleaning. The server was down to like 70mb so it was
crashing with low space errors. That was not enough for 2 servers, PC Anywhere, and a few
other security applications.
Anyway stupid me found out that I had not been
deleting the Norton protected trash that the Norton's Utilities keeps track of. There was
like 150mb in there. So I got like 300mb free on the server now. That should get things
back to normal. I plan to run a few diagnostics today to free up and optimize it a little
more. - Jazzman-X-[10:20 am EST]
