As the Quake moon waxes and wanes, I'm loth to observe that some of the regulars have been neglecting QW. But contrariwise I'm sex to observe the influx of newbs and reborn old players being thrown at the AusQW battlements and seeing which ones stick! Too many to keep track of! Unfortunately of course a lot of them swiftly get the fuck out, after they recognise the investment required, or lack the patience to configure an acceptable set up.
Where do they come from?; Quakers' activity in Team Fortress 2- povohat, shadow, savage, terrorhead etc.; Frag movies on youtube; references in CPMA, Warsow, esreality.com communities; word of mouth? Dunno, But something needs to be done to consolidate them and get them soliciting their mates to come get themselves the fuck fragged.
Something like a duel tournament beginning with an FFA en masse to divide the skilled if varied enough. Hopefully along with a duel/2on2 comp for the established, to display the elite collective edifice of 12 years of Quake skill.
The uni semester is about to end so this ought to happen in a few weeks. What's that? You say we're too negligent, lazy, and responsible for this to happen? Well let's try anyway.
If you're interested in participating, or in need of some help configuring your setup or finding opponents of comparable skill email me, or add me to msn: yofoe.runamok @ gmail.com
