RE: Jay - Shouldn't we have a national team?

Ah Jeff, ure the typical example of a Quake Young Fella. That's been done, and tried and every sort of fukking thing.
Cloud first came up with the idea while I was on co-op, so I said I'd run it, and spent hours and hours trying to organise trials and pick a team. Then the sh!te started with people who I KNEW were mental players not turning up for the trials, yet others that were always enthusiatic were told to get lost. The bottom line was, that even when we had a team picked, if anyone turned up for training, the pings were screwed to the server (which was galway at the time, Quake.ie wasn't around then, not that they're any good now), and the player standard was nuthing compared to the likes of Sujoy etc on Clan UK with a 30 ping and tactics pumping out his @rse.
Then, Von started it up again, and the players this time were good, a team of Beast,Reaper, Overlord, Bunny and Tomb (i think) stomped all over FA, a class UK clan. But it all went to sh!te then over the summer with ppl gone, Von's head was wrecked, and so he started again concentrating on CW, and it paid off, as we all see from their mental team performance these days.

Basically, in this late stage in Quake's "life", the only way a team will survive and win, is when the players are
1) Fukking mental players, and
2) Purely dedicated altogether.
I used to be one of them, I certainly am not now, the two most dedicated Quake players I know are you Jay, and Nicky (Beast). The thing is, in Irish Quake at least, that everyone wants something, but nobody wants to be the one to do it. As JFK said, 'Ask not will someone organise an Irish Quake Team, but organise the fucckin thing yourself', or something to that effect anyway. There are plenty of Quake players who STILL after 2 years play all night long and take on complete Gods knowing they will be pi$$ed on purely for the experience. That's who you want on your Irish Team, and you know who they are Jeff, you being one of them. So take the initiative, declare your Irish Team, I'll make up the webpage for you, form the team, take charge, challenge every team from here to the moon, and do us all proud, and if you're REALLY lucky, I might give ya an oul' ride later on aswell.
Jesus I need some sleep.

Zero.
