[UKLA]Mani: Ah, well, I started UKLA in December on 1999. So I'm the longest serving member and indeed founder member. I played CS since Beta 3 was a QuakeWorld nut before that.

[UKLA]El3h: I'm El3h, I started playing CS when 1.0 was released, and I've currently been in UKLA for roughly 2-3 weeks.

[UKLA]Mani: Our hearts never really left UKLA, we spent a long time building up it's reputation, it was hard to be without when other things didn't quite go how we wanted. It was only logical to come home.

[UKLA]Mani: It's not a bad idea if you can have 5/6 really reliable people. It would never work in UKLA for long; we are mostly old farts with wives, kids and houses. Too many other things that need doing. We have about 8/9 active members right now at different times though. Which is no bad thing, CS is a game after all.

[UKLA]El3h: It's a good idea to have 5/6 reliable & strong players but yet easier said than done to be honest, we currently have bout 8-9 players virtually all members are active.

[UKLA]Mani: I doubt it, we are trying to put together a LAN team, but we will not be kicking anyone out.

[UKLA]Mani: Team play, team play, team play. Also, must get along with the lads and behave like an adult.

[UKLA]Mani: Not really, we are still trying to rebuild our team play. We like our players to be able to play with everyone else in the clan. I know that's never going to be totally possible, but heh, it's a nice goal.

[UKLA]Mani: Yes, we try to play at least one PCW a day with clans we like and trust. Online competition is just no fun when you don't trust your opposition. We will most likely re-enter a few competitions when Valve's anti-cheat software is out and running.

[UKLA]Mani: Definitely, takes times to find members who really want to play LAN events, or convince current members that they do. We couldn't organise a p***-up in a brewery between us, so it may take some time ;-). All true, that's the sad part.

[UKLA]El3h: Heh well I heard Mani and Path are all northern fairies so they all drink shandy so no chance of them getting into pubs.

[UKLA]Mani: Well, I was having a CS break at the time of the last CPL we played in, so I can't say, but the lads that went enjoyed themselves, until they were butchered by NiP anyway ;-). A lot of the guys who have played at the I-series events haven't enjoyed them to be honest.

[UKLA]Mani: Most likely yes. Assuming 5 people can find time between their beer drinking an womanising.

[UKLA]El3h: *cough* shandy drinkin.

[UKLA]Shockwave: It's a good thing if you ask me.

[UKLA]Mani: Brilliant idea, I wish default configs could be enforced online. We do play with our configs a bit, but not much, most of us are pretty close to default anyway.

[UKLA]Mani: In some ways, it shows what is possible. Now if they drunk 10 pints and still played like that. Then they would be our heroes. But not until ;-)

[UKLA]Shockwave: spray and pay - works every time

[UKLA]El3h: Errrm well to be honest, I used to watch a lot of demo's on Elem (former UKLA member) style of awm play, I learnt and adapted his style to my liking.

[UKLA]Mani: Hmm, lots of good players about these days. I don't really admire anyone though. Don't get me wrong, lots of people impress me with their skill and reaction times, but admiration is going a bit far.

[UKLA]Mani: If they had been 100% sure that all the players on the list were cheats then all well and good, but it turns out that the OGC detection plugin was based on play style and had virtually zero hard evidence involved. Backfired didn't it. It's a good thing this is still treated as a game; otherwise I could see all sorts of libel cases being filed. Just think how you would feel if a GSP published your name as a cheat if you're totally clean. Some of the people on that last have worked hard to have a good reputation and be a good player for years. Now they all have a shadow hanging over their heads, it's very unfair, I assume BY will be more careful in future.

[UKLA]Mani: Fans? Hehe, I don't think we have many. But if we do, why not challenge us with your clan, we'll play anyone.

[UKLA]El3h: Don't drink shandy and play CS or you’ll turn out like UKLA.
