NaLiN: My name is Marinus Kok, 17 years old, living in the Netherlands - Make that 18 because next Wednesday's my birthday ;]

Yasp0: My name is Jasper Stevens, 21 years old now, living 100 meters away from NaLiN :)

Haleb0pp: Erik Remmelzwaal, 4 days away from turning 22, living on the other side of the Netherlands. All our members are between 17-26. Purple is our daddy, he's 26.

NaLiN: We got 2 people from 4 kings, 1 from CSA, most are from a Dutch clan called High Quality. Serpent was inactive in 4kings after 3 months of absence and he talked with haleb0pp about how High Quality was doing, after that we made a decision with the 5 players; Haleb0pp, me, Neo2k, Yaspo and Slang to start a new clan. Serpent did all the necessary work in organising the clan and after 1 month Purple came to us to make our clan stronger as a field commander (him being the field commander in the 4kings days). We had 1 more member called j0rz who left 'cause his internet wasn't good enough. We attracted madb because we needed someone who was online 24/7 and good in CS and now madb has worked up to field commander in the wars. Finally, Stoppa came along, we gave him a trial and he got in. :)

NaLiN: It was nice to win the games because Nocturne and SK have got a name in the CS scene, and we don't. SK was a tie ...eek. But nice :]

Yasp0: We knew SK would be very hard, especially on cobble, a map on which we suck(ed). But I think we showed we can play it, especially as CT ;)

Yasp0: Afterwards we were pissed and happy at the same time, because we kinda gave it away on prodigy. But we were also happy with a draw. So kind of mixed feelings with that war.

b0pp: We had seen their match vs TEG and knew the odds were ok.

b0pp: Yeah, compared to SK this was well... a bit easy. But the end result might be a little too high as the match was over before the 4th part of it. We had an advantage of 14 rounds and they couldn't win anymore so they might have played the last part a little less serious.

b0pp: Too little!

Yasp0: I did 1 pcw for the noc and SK game. Way too little. :/

NaLiN: 3/4 praccys a week or something, the problem is we usually can't get 3/4 praccys with the same team because of work. So sometimes less :]

b0pp: Hehe that's our goal yes. For last Sunday's matches we concentrated only on cobble. The results on prodigy versus SK show this clearly.

b0pp: There are strict tactics of course, much to the credits of madb but being flexible using them makes a team strong I guess.

Yasp0: True, true.

NaLiN: :]

Yasp0: I think it's good to vary between quick and slow playing.

b0pp: Yeah, just make sure you don't get predictable. Using quick rushes works out great every now and then but will kill you if you do it too often.

b0pp: Well, we really have been to only one big LAN yet but it proved us to be not only an internet clan. The LAN was called Drome 9, with 1400+ attendees, in the CS-Compo we managed to defeat the clan who is considered No.1 of the Netherlands (reGeneration). We proved to be able to beat them, even on LAN.

Yasp0: To be honest, I think we perform better on LAN then on the internet. I shout much more @ home than on a LAN. ;)

b0pp: True. We want to attend the next CPL but are still searching for a sponsor to back us up to go there. ;)

NaLiN: *hint* ;]

b0pp: That's what they all say :)

Yasp0: It's really for the readers :)

NaLiN: Pro-gaming is a difficult thing. Because of work and stuff, we cannot play all the time.

Yasp0: We are still discussing about our future plans. We know we can improve much more, but we have to make sacrifices then... I'm still thinking about what I want.

b0pp: Hey I'm on irc even during work time, I'm ready to hit the pros man! :D

Yasp0: I would say 20% never be too optimistic. ;) We are still a pretty new clan, and need to get more experience to play the v.good clans.

NaLiN: I think we can make some nice games, but we don't have the experience like NiP, matrix, DkH, etc... We started training since we're in Eurocup V, we are growing every game we play.

b0pp: We're first concentrating on this stage of games. If we get through then we just play our best to get as far as possible.

Yasp0: We play from game to game, it's our first time and we wish & try for the best.

b0pp: We like to consider LAN more important. But in Holland there are little interesting lans to go to so we have to go abroad which is pretty expensive if you have to pay it yourself.

NaLiN: Internet to qualify and make a name, lan to show you've got the rights to have that name. ;]

Yasp0: I would love to attend some big lans, but like bopp says... the money problem. :/ On a lan you can get a more equal result because of all the different connections and cfgs on the internet.

b0pp: The goal is CPL, at this point we're making strong progress to be able to get a good result from a CPL lan. We will be ready when the moment is there that's for sure. :)

NaLiN: I play a lot of public because it is fun to kill a lot of people as quick as you can. :]

Yasp0: Jup, when I come back from work, I love to play some public servers.

NaLiN: I hate people accusing me of cheating all the time and whining or spamming more than cheaters.

Yasp0: I don't run into cheaters very often, I hate more the admins abusing their rights (E.g. Kick/banning you within 1 minute). Or people who don't know me and kick ban me. :) Cheaters can be stopped I think, but I don't know if it can be done with this hl/cs engine. We will see in 1.4, otherwise a new engine can be the only solution I think.

b0pp: Never played it. :)

Yasp0: I tried, but got stuck. :) I will wait and see when it's finished.

NaLiN: I played the public beta, and it crashed all the time so I didn't see too much but i found the jumping thing gay from the start :[

b0pp: Well sounds fun, I have to try it I guess. :) Oh, they're gonna get the jumping adjustment out of it again. Jumping is gonna be the same as now. (Isn't it?)

NaLiN: Weee :]

b0pp: This is what i heard :/

Yasp0: I heard you can get tired... like DoD.

b0pp: DoD really is annoying indeed ;D

NaLiN: When I played, you just slow down after a jump. :/ But this all has nothing to do with the question! :P

Yasp0: We do our best!

b0pp: Yeah, I take it he isn't gonna just copy/paste this anyways :)

NaLiN: "You like being gay don't you?" "b0pp: True", that kinda edits? :P

b0pp: I never said that! :/

NaLiN: :]

Yasp0: The netcode.

NaLiN: The stunning effect of guns, like the mp5 gets you stuck in the ground. I hate that.

b0pp: I hate falling down the rafters on nuke :P

NaLiN: That has nothing to do with CS itself! :P

b0pp: It has!

NaLiN: You are just being corky :P

b0pp: Blah. Look, I want to sit in between the two thingies which requires Mario brothers skills and I don't have them... so I fall down.

Everyone: Hmm.

Yasp0: Our annual sex orgy is coming up... If anyone wants to join it, message b0pp on irc.

b0pp: We wanna do a chain of 600 people this year. Shall we tell about neo2k?

NaLiN: Yasp0, sssh! :P

Yasp0: He asked our secret! It's our key to success.

NaLiN: neo2k is organising the orgies :P

Yasp0: He's our special lan team member.

NaLiN: He's got not so good connection, so he is our special weapon @ lans.

b0pp: Yeah, he has isdn only which causes a lot of loss. :( Too bad cos he has great skills. There you go, our secret.

b0pp: Oh yeah, one more thing.

b0pp: Clanbase admin gtr^ needs to learn reporting in English fast or stop trying

NaLiN: :]

b0pp: His reports just don't make any sense! :) His name is Ali McKorhan. There, nuff said. Thanks Fluke :)

b0pp: Cya around!

NaLiN: Cya.

Yasp0: See you.
