Old News


(Sounds like a contradiction. I wonder if it should be just called olds?)

16/04/02
Wicked and Woodelf have been accepted into the clan and recieved their trial memberships.
More maps have been added to the download section. These include Luttis' maps, my zulu maps, some of ripe's and an assortment of maps made by various people.
2v2 league has been cancelled due to lack of interest though it may still be restarted. The 1v1 season will end soon so get your games played. Writers are needed for the new campaign (WAR FOR EUROPE).

21/03/02
The first session of the 2v2 leagues saw 3 games not being played (foo/iftm v sbdi/eatfetus), so they got 1.5 points each. If anyone wants to drop out then say so now please. You guys have to play your next games by the end of march so get arranging ur games NOW please. As for the 1v1 league some people are still to play more than 3 games. If its like that at the end of the season (not long now) then the guys with 3 games played or less will be removed from the leagues, ok
King has left the clan...enough said
Interest in the website and the forum has died off immensely, why ? As for ripe/tag - if the constant bitchin on the forums doesnt stop i will delete ur forum accounts, consider this a warning guys, its getting boring
I am still getting people moaning about pop ups, if you dont want them, then each individual can pay to get them removed from their system (about £10). Betta still why dont we all pay into the gold account and we can have them removed on mass. I am toying with the idea of putting a banner on the site to help pay for this, does anyone know how to go about such a thing ? If so mail Teccie.
Although we have 2 leagues going, mis' koth/noth and occasional tournies, im sure we could do some more things, anyone with any good ideas speak to Teccie or Altzu and we will arrange some more entertaining things.

02/03/02
Imp has been kicked from the clan for doing something terrible, being alana !!
Altzu made a comeback at long last, but alas, he's not lost his magic.
King has been removed from the clan, for 1 month, for repeated ladder abuse, refer to rule 2 for an explanation of what happens to king. Also he is automatically removed from the leagues
2v2 league starts tomorrow, so get playing, pls, lets make the 2v2 work........

Did I say back to normal in a week? I meant a month. The first week I was busy socializing. The second week my modem was being wierd. The third week I found out why and fixed it only to find NTL don't provide Caller Line Identification, which I needed to access the site. The fourth week I was too busy chilling. The fifth week TAK emailed me and I dedided to stop being so lazy. Anyway - I've got my mum to upload a new index.htm that points to another server that I can maintain the site on. If you find anything wrong with the site then please e-mail me.

2/10/2000
New this week is the Forum Story. I have put all the relevent posts from CH VIRUSes thread together to make it easier to read. I'm going to Southampton this and in the choas of it I'll be unavailable for a few days but everything should be back to normal (or as near as we ever have been to normal) next week.

25/09/2000
It was the closest week of war ever last week. Well it was until I got some late arriving results! The results are here. Another week of war starts today. For those of you getting tired of it there will be a break after this one while I get myself sorted out at Southampton University.

17/08/2000
Two new pages today. Firstly, Crazy Horse has written a guide to playing magewars. And Second is the one you've all been waiting for: Lilly Monster's Advanced Tactics. I've read it and its very good; it is essential reading for everyone! You'll find them in the strategy section. For his efforts Lilly Monster has gained a well earned promotion.

15/08/2000
No-one turned up to Sundays Touenament so we held one on Tuesday instead. I thought no-one was coming to that but just as I was about to give up they did. People are getting bored of the 1v1 tourneys so we decided to hold a Free For All one instead. Here are the results. Also, Gary Linekar's got some news about some strange goings on in Match of the Day.

12/08/2000
I hope you like the new look. Much less brown and green now. If you notice any problems then please tell me.

09/08/2000
Newly promoted Admiral Miserix has written a guide to sea battles for the strategy section. Due to server problems Sunday's tournament was played on Tuesday and there was a very good turnout. UKPlayer has been promoted to Ogre and changed his email address again! Look out for a new stylish design for this site coming some time soon.

03/08/2000
Sick Freak has written a guide to walling in for the strategy section and I've added my comments too. Also, Crazy Horse has written another edition of Match of the Day. And finally, there is the latest tournament result.

18/07/2000
Today was the last Tournament on a Tuesday. Only UKPlayer and me came so we had to get two guests players to run it. Since there is not enough interest I have decided to stop the Tuesday tournaments. The Sunday ones will keep going.

03/07/2000
Crazy Horse seems to have started magewar mania on Battle.net. Not only has he got everyone playing my original; he has made several variations of it! The complete magewar package is now in the puds section, including my own new 8 player version.

26/06/2000
The first clan tournament was run yesterday. The results are here.

17/06/2000
Bondo and Crazy Horse have been promoted! See the members section.

11/05/2000
Due to the problems we had with games and Blizzard ignoring my questions I have called off the clan league. But there's good news too: Sick Freak has been trying out some new things and as a result has completely rewritten most of his Advanced Defence guide. It is now much easier to read and the tactics more effective (or so I'm told - I've been so busy with other things I haven't played Warcraft 2 much recently). I think Lilly Monster's forum posts may have had something to do with it ;-) See the strategy section.

12/04/2000
More tactics, this time from Crazy Horse. The strategy section has now been split over several pages.

06/04/2000
Sick Freak has done it again. He really has too much time on his hands... See the strategy page. For his efforts he has been promoted. There are now 20 members in the clan. I intend to give out more promotions in our friendly practice sessions. Thanks to Blizzard's inept technical support I don't know when the clan league will take off again.

01/04/2000
Even more strategies from Sick Freak! I'm going to have to promote him to something better than 'Grunt'.

06/03/2000
Sick Freak's guide to spells has been added to the strategy page. Also I have added a PUDs page.

10/02/2000
I have written the strategy guide so this site now has four finished pages.

26/01/2000
I have started work on the complete site to replace the temporary page.

23/01/2000
Goodbye to Bondo and Crazy Horse who are going back to university. Cyas at Easter.

12/01/2000
In a forum thread discussing the clan the general consensus seems to be that I (Rob) should run it.

8/01/2000
This clan is formed as the result of a discussion on the forum. A War Chief is yet to be decided.
