Hi

Maybe some words about you?

 

Wanted to do it later on, but can't edit the first post...quite bored atm so here comes a huge wall of text :crazy

 

I'm from germany, 35 years old and play ET since its release. Solely etpro most of the time as long as the scene was big and alive and the competition was up and rising and all major leagues hosted tourneys, ladders, cups, lans...There were quite a few famous pubservers too and finding opponents to play some 3v3 or 6v6 scrims was a matter of minutes. Daytimes didn't matter at all and you could go scrimming with mates or just stir up some pubgames.

 

I started to play on jaymod servers ocassionally out of boredom when all other servers were either gone or just empty at those not so common daytimes. After my last ET-break of ~2 years there are just a few etpro servers left, and most of them are reigned in terror - I call them 'nazi admins' :P accompanied by their big pile of rules, restrictions...lots of evil things you must not do in an online-game. The fun and that special thrill etpro-games can offer is pretty much regulated away on most of the servers. And sadly many of the remaining players at pubs are more and more nagging and hating kids which take it all too serious and start raging at every single opportunity they can possibly get.

 

Me and 2 of my friends started playing multiplayer shooters with Doom 2 and a serial link connection, we played nonstop for days and had big fun doing so. I still see those 'Cacodemons' and 'Lost Souls' jumping at me out of the darkness when walking through the park at night :D

Since that I always had fun playing those kind of 3D shooters. I always have been more or less in contact with multiplayer games which finally peaked in the online-gaming-boom around 1999 when broadband connections got widely available and finally even affordable!

 

ET still manages to bait me back in the game time after time for an uncertain period. As long as those periods do last, I try to have fun and don't get too serious with it. I don't have that eager ambition anymore to compete against others at all costs. I know where my play is as good as it gets and I know what levels I will prolly never reach.Today if I'm starting to feel uncomfortable, have not the confidence or get angry about the game, I usually quit and don't play for a few days. I don't want to take any bad emotions from an online game out into my real existence...what happens to all of us now and then! Games are meant to be entertaining and bringing the fun while slaughtering the opposing team : )

 

You do a great admin job on your servers (at least i can say that about the ladies monitoring jay3, where I play most of the time)

and always keep cool when dealing with problem childs, I like your attitude towards other players!

 

 

I also enjoy playing Quake Live, mainly Duel. If someone wants to add me -> S3ti

 

If you don't know Quake, you definitely missed one of the biggest and most challenging killergame of all times. It's free to play like ET, and if you ever should get infected you can buy different account types, with different durations and features to get more maps, host your own server etc...
