The eternal Quake1 vs Quake2 battle...

Shinji · 14-07-1999 10:02am #1

Quake 1 players! Sick of those lowly, unskilled Quake2 players using up your server bandwidth with their power hungry, flashy, colourful but ultimately shallow and soulless game?

Quake 2 Players! Tired to death of those Quake1 troglodytes whining and moaning and being an offense to humanity by playing a very brown game with no textures and their complete inability to handle alcohol?

Well.... Now there's a chance for you all to get your own back.

The scenario: A sultry day sometime in August. Quake1 and Quake2 players all gather on a rugged mountain slope to sort out their eternal feud (Quake1 players claim an erosion of their civil and gaming liberties... Quake2 players don't want them marching through their servers...) by the age old means of.... firing small pellets of paint at each other very, very fast.

Yes, friends, paintball. Teams divided along the Quake1/Quake2 division, with the Tribes players, being mercenaries at heart, going to whatever team offers the best deal.

I don't have a firm date or a venue, or indeed a price (be warned though, paintballing can work out quite expensive), but before I spend time working out details, I want to know if there's sufficent interest to go ahead with this. Post here if you're up for some REAL "multiplayer" mayhem...

gandalf · 14-07-1999 10:09am

Yep I'll be up for this. Shinji is this the one with Paint Mines and Grenades (especially grenades

)

Now wheres my Paintball Rocketlauncher. Must stock up with Woodies emulsion

do you think its wise to give some of these head cases weapons :-)

Do you also think its wise making us all excerise...

Show us your hacked skins now ya kunts ya !

Rev Hellfire · 14-07-1999 10:46am

Can we bring our own guns ?

Kali · 14-07-1999 10:57am

for large groups.. say about 25/30
for a full day it would cost about 20 quid each.
thats with 60 free balls
extra balls (bags of 60) cost a fiver each.

expect to go through at least 3 bags (including the free one) if your good...
5 if your just crap and shoot like mad.

depending on the places you go to theres a multitude of different games as well..
capture the flag being the best

actually they all have something to do with flags.. hmmmm.

So this is my life ... yay!

gandalf · 14-07-1999 11:02am

Naw I like the sound of the "Salman Rushtie" Game. One person on the team becomes the "target" the rest of the team are his bodyguards and the other team have to try and "take him out"

Gandalf.

Kali · 14-07-1999 11:07am

he still gets to hold a flag though

Draco · 14-07-1999 11:27am

I'd be definitly on for this...

Hmm....do the whole "I was in the Nam thing"...Charlie was waiiiitin'...Gooks! Gooks everywhere! (best said while randomly spraying the undergrowth and your team)

dra-(are YOU talkin' to ME?)-co

LoLth · 14-07-1999 11:30am

Sounds good! I'd be on for it..

Draco! They're talking about Paintball, not having a p1ss in the forest...

anyway, get back to work and DEVELOPE boy! Develope!

Alan · 14-07-1999 1:45pm

Sounds cool.

KinDreD · 14-07-1999 3:15pm

aye i want in....the quake2 lads...thanks to me....get to carry blackthorn to beat the dying quake1 lads...!

Shinji · 14-07-1999 3:24pm

I was thinking of getting one somewhere nearer Dublin tbh, altho the one in Rossmore is cool...

Where would we put this crowd up for the night in Monaghan ffs!

Oh, and speaking of gandalfs suggestion for the "Salman Rushdie" game... Did I mention that Daa is invited?

JaneyMackers · 14-07-1999 3:38pm

Ok good idea a friend of mine uncle i think owns the one in dublin mountains.
I played it b4 and its good. To play itself is not expensive its the paintball that get you. there the killer.the cost everywhere

ButcherOfNog · 14-07-1999 4:44pm

depending on numbers, accommodation *might* not be a problem. rev hellfires folks have a massive house

I could take a few as well, plus I've a few mates in town who *might* help out with floorspace.

anyways, you need about 10 per team for it to be any good. you also need to play somewhere that uses the "once yer shot, yer out for that game" rule. it makes it much more nerve-wracking than the run around like school children effort that I've seen someplaces.

Kali · 14-07-1999 4:47pm

usually the "shot ur out" is for two minutes
then if your still able to walk and your ears have stopped ringing(if you've been shot square on the forehead) then u get out and murder ppl

Shinji · 14-07-1999 6:23pm

And back up you go.... RESPOND IF YER UP FOR IT PPL....

(bloody BoN posting crap when he should be working, driving important posts down the board... I dunno, kids these days...)

WhiteWashMan · 14-07-1999 10:22pm

ohh goody goody goody.

does anyone have a spare grapple?

hahaha, and no shouting lagggg and running on the spot either.
and no bringing along tinfoil axes

El_Presidente · 14-07-1999 10:25pm

I'll buy that for a euro...

Sounds like a plan

Venom · 14-07-1999 10:48pm

Count me in.There should be a special prize to whoever can mess up Blades hair

Ven(shoot them all in the back)om

Jaden · 15-07-1999 12:12am

Me in. But tell the people who run it that UNT might be going, so they can organise large shipments of paint. My bet is that all UNTies use at least 10 bags of balls, owing to the fact they are spamming ****ers.

I also think that all people playing on the Q2 team should be made blink as fast as possible to simulate Q2's low FPS.

/me fixes up sniper paint rifle.

Taaaake it Q2 muppets.

Chaos · 15-07-1999 12:16am

me too maybe a few our quake ppl

What time and day would it be at?

ButcherOfNog · 15-07-1999 12:21am

is this the one run in rossmore park in monaghan shinji? if so you can count on me. if you did it over the jazz n blues festival weekend we'd have a right old **** up after it, well, those still able to walk would

Monty - the one and only · 15-07-1999 8:23am

Count me in............

Q1 is best,Q2 sucks

JaneyMackers · 15-07-1999 11:17am

Ok then we should make a date and decide on it plus which one i vote for Kilternan one. The paintball or Skirmish which gets the most votes wins.

So who's doin the tactics

No killing round conors you lpb *******s.

Monty - the one and only · 16-07-1999 3:49pm

Sounds good to me....

Paintball or skirmish, I don't mind!

plz don't be on a monday or wedensday night

Might be able to get a few guys and gals from work

Shinji · 16-07-1999 4:25pm

OK.... we certainly seem to have enough interest for it

Can everyone who wants to come along email me (shinji@qamex.com, for those too lazy to check the little "email" button above this post

) putting "paintball" in the subject line and saying what times/dates don't suit you? That way we can organise it to accomodate the most people... Also, if you have suggestions for where we should go, or what other things we should do (anything involving live ammunition is a no-no.... but games of "chase Daa around the forest with a big stick" are permitted...

) then put them in there as well.

Oh, and I think I'll leave the organisation of the apres-match ****up to "WhiteWash Drinking Managament Ltd.", they've proven very reliable in the past...

Ja,
Shinji
