I spent 1 hour typing and pressed the wrong button so it was all for nothing :@
I'll try to start over but i bet it wont be as good lol.
First some RL stuff:
I am male, 27 years and live in Belgium with my almost-wife
I'm an electrician in a steelplant. If something gets broken i have to fix it asap so they can keep producing.
I work in 4 shifts so that kinda sucks for social life and UT becuz i can for instance never say when i'm avail for a war.
About Ut: i have quite a long history so i'll write a short and long version to let the choice to you :-)
I will first mention i regret to not have been really social in the past. The moment people started to know me, i changed my nick. This resulted in a whole bunch of nicks on clanbase and UT, sometimes i changed it twice a week lol. Also i deleted my CB account twice i think so i cant see all my ex-clans which is a shame :'(
I will first put a list here with all my nicknames i remember in order of timelength i have used them :-$ FuZZyBear was my very first nickname on internet and i have FuZZy since my comeback :-)
the list:
[WoD]TC, [WoD]KaiKyra, [WoD]Po'eR, FuZZy, Thaliorod (this means FuZZyBeaR in elvish lol it was in the LOTR periode :-), ~}DOtR|AnGel(L)_(L){~, -GX-WE_DONT_CARE, =LoF=V1R3, kaballeke, <-WLtF->KnaBBeLKe, ....1000 other nicks lol
Short version:I started playing UT in late 99 or 2000. Was in a whole bunch of clans and occasionally stopped playing and starting again. I totally quit playing in JAN 2006 after reaching the NR1 spot on the Clanbase iCTF 5vs5 ladder
I made my comeback not so long ago when the last clanbase iCTF ZP open cup was almost finished.
Long version:I started playing UT in late 99 or 2000 when a friend at school showed me the game. We started playing private online games with other people from school and soon even started our first clan
=BFS= Belgian Fragging Squad. That didnt last long however. We did bunnyhop the Belgian Belgacom servers because they kept stats on a website. We played and played till we were in top 10 and very proud lol. Off course the only reason we were in top10 is because we played so much on it, not because we were good.
One thing that surprises me now that i look back on it is that allready in this early period my love was big for the instagib mutator!
Some1 from school knew a guy from a real Clanbase clan so i did a tryout. =FBI= was the clan but guess what, i FAILED! :-D Soon after i joined this nice clan
<-WLtF-> We Love to Frag, that didnt care i sucked so bad. They learned me to dodge :-D and also
-GX- Generation-X Was my new home (page5 on cb back then), I met a lot of new friends there, and played my first wars on clanbase. I also remember i spent a short period in
H4L Hardcore 4 Life.
Another fun clans i remember is
S0NR (swedisch i think). Back then UT was more fun and we spent hours just practising and trying out useless trickjumps lol. Or spawning monsters and hump them, stuff like that.
At some point in time i joined
~}DOtR{~ Defenders of the Realm. I'm still in this clan today but its dead :-) However this might be an important moment becuz its possibly the reason i still play this game. You see the clanleader was a girl. We played 1on1. I lost 20-0 on tutorial !! From that moment i started traing and training and spending hours and hours a day on this game. Real no-life addict yep lol. I spectated good players on publics and even studied my own demos to see what i did wrong lol. I saw that my crosshair sometimes passed the opponent 3 or 4 times untill i made a shot. Since then i made this mental click i guess. I shoot opponent first time crosshair passes. Some1 from team belgium calls it sweep shots, i guess thats a good name lol.
I actually came to the point where i beat this same girl 20-1 or something so you could say i got to a pretty good level. Keep in mind that everything was still non-zp then so it was easier to make a difference.
But as my skill grew so did my ego and my attitude was sometimes nothing to be proud about. I remember playing a tryout for RoSS and beating them bad and then deciding not to join cuz i thought it was funny. Like i said, nothing to be proud of and i apoligze i was young and imature lol
My main clan became
=LoF= Loungefraggers then, they were a nice friendly bunch and we reached the top40 aka page 1 on clanbase iCTF ladder. If you start a clan now your allready in top10 but believe me many many years ago it was a nice achievement for a noob lol.
Some other clans i remember i been in during this period in order of timelength:
uKm Unreal Killing Machines,
xG xtreme gabbers,
CTF Capture The Frag, s$s Supreme Sharp Shooters, ...
However i never really felt at home like i did at -GX-. So during the years that followed i must say that sometimes i quit playing for sometimes months and then start again etc. That was untill i found this clan called
[WoD] Warriors of Darkness. I found a home again, all cool chill guys and not whining or laming when playing wars. Actually come to think of it, both -GX- and [WoD] were belgian clans it could also be a reason i felt i home. When i joined they were about the same ranking as =LoF= was, top40 but not getting higher. However this soon changed as [WoD]'s best skill was teamplay! Its also the reason i love iCTF so much. Its heavenous when you can capture a flag that sometimes has been dropped and picked up 5 or 6 times by teammates!
Well to keep it short [WoD] was getting critics because we played clans ranked much lower then us (didnt earn us points but we had fun lol). So i guess our clanleader felt offended and started accepting challenges of high skilled clans. Very soon we were top 20, top 10. It felt good to shut the critics up but somehow i remember i decided to retire of UT. I dno the exact reason, i think it was mainly because the anti-cheat was getting rediculous back then. You had to download files from a wesbite and manually install them or you get kicked fomr server, then next week you had download new version, but first delete old version or its doesnt work also. Opponent could ask to upload 2 demos each war, when they lost they usually did and then you see nobody downloaded them so it was just to annoy you or force a forfeit. I'm not saying its all bad and i'm against cheats but after all those years i just somehow got fed up with it and decided to quit playing lol.
However our dear clanleader occasionally spammed me on MSN to ask if wanted to play a war, i always said no, till that day in januari 2006 they really didnt have 5 players and guess what, the war was for 1st place in the clanbase europe iCTF 5v5 ladder (non-zp) :-D
So i played, we won vs DH and claimed nr1 after some issues cuz they tried to sabotage score lol
http://clanbase.ggl.com/warinfo.php?wid=5180668&cid=285009 . I am still proud of it and i guess its the highlight of my UT carreer.
After that match almost everyone of [WoD] quit ut, i guess it was a sort of a mission complete feeling lol :-)
So after many years i have made my comeback in late december 2010 for the iCTF ZP open cup because an ex-clanmate of [WoD] asked me. They needed a 5th for their next war. I only played a few maps doh, but i got my ass kicked so bad i couldn't believe it lol, so now i'm playing again :$ And here we are today :-D
If any of you have any questions or think i forgot something let me know rofl
PS: i know this was totally useless but i was bored. Greetz! :-D
