I have even MORE good new tonight!  We are getting www.99vc.com TODAY, I should have the site all transferred over by early evening (assuming everything goes as planed).  I could NOT have done this without the help from n0x and his friends over at www.clouds.net.   Clouds.net have helped us out in the past...the helped supply servers for ClanBash '98 a few months ago, their help is always GREATLY appreciated.

     I entered the 99VC into the OGL Modem Ladder to help make sure everyone gets a lot of playing time.  Viper31 will be running all OGL Modem Ladder operations, he will setup the games/contact/ect.

I hope the next update is from 99vc.com :)

     Well my 12:00 class is coming up so I better be going since I missed my 8:00am class for the 12 time this semester. Ahhhhhh. Cya'll tonight.  I can't wait to kick some SUN ass.

      In other, news I recently got a E-mail form SUN saying that they will only have 4 players for tonight's game(with little hope of getting more)*sigh*.  ZiGSoft & Elektro are the only people playing for sure, TeddyLuv, and cocoapuff might be playing...we will have to wait and see.  I have Nox and Viper31 down as a backup.  We will be meeting in IRC 1/2hr before the game.

See you then

    Sorry, Fury,
     Here is what I think you wanted to know: The rays of the BFG inflict minor damage compared to the impact damage.  So, it is important to know how the impact damage works.  The BFG's impact damage works in a triangular configuration.  In order for the impact damage to be inflicted upon your enemy, the BFG ball and you must be within site of your enemy.  In other words, a straight line must be able to be drawn between the BFG ball and your enemy and between you and your enemy without any solid structures in those paths, thus forming a triangle.  The closer the BFG ball blast is to your enemy the more damage the impact will inflict.   I recommend in most cases firing the BFG at the ground (or wall sometimes) as soon as you see your opponent.  You will rarely ever want to fire the BFG right at your opponent, because he/she will most likely be out of sight by the time it hits a solid surface.  In that particular incident, I fired a 2x BFG which hit the bottom of the pool right next to you.  It would then be possible for me to inflict 150/200/200 damage in that scenario.  Sorry about the confusion.  I didn't realize you were asking those questions seriously.  Sorry for being an asshole in the chat too.   Thanks for changing the server settings and sorry once again.

     We have a OGL game this Friday at 9pm PST, the roster is more or less filled up, but send me a E-mail if your interested in playing.  We will be playing SUN and it looks like they will be tough.  I'm going to see if we can get one more practice in before the game(like Friday at 7pm PST?), but I (or Elektro) will send out Emails w/ the info later today.

     I've made a demo from our first OGL game, when we played AG, there are a few little hiccups in some of the camera movements, but other than that it came out as planed.  The next demo that I make will be a highlight tape from some where in the neighborhood of 5-8 different demos(all OGL, so its gonna be awhile before I do this).

     Themonk (the Quaker formerly known as HoStiLe) expressed interest in reopening the 99VC Quake1 CTF Division!  If your interested contact him and let him know.   From what I hear, he already has about 12-15 players lined up...looks like the VC will be rocking the Quake1 scene again!

     That's about it...I'm tired, got to go to work tomorrow, and I've had a total of 3hrs sleep over the past 48hrs.

Later

ps-for those of you who have noticed the small difference in this news page...its not finished yet, it will be done tomorrow.

<[STORM-SHADOW]> i can't ever leave!!
<[STORM-SHADOW]>
<[STORM-SHADOW]> OK put me back as active 99vc
{BREAK}
<[STORM-SHADOW]> OK I quit quiting the 99vc
{BREAK}
<[STORM-SHADOW]> I have 3 fucking computer and no one to play quake with!
<[STORM-SHADOW]> WTF

     Sounds like storm needs some quake buddies in LA if you ask me.  Let this be a lesson to everyone, you CAN'T leave the 99VC.  99VC for life!!!  Even though storm is back, he will not be co-leading the 99VC with me.

     We didn't have any OGL games this week, two clans forfeited to us this week...we are now ranked 68th (not bad considering we started at 97th, and that was two weeks ago).

That's about it

     I entered the 99VC into a new Quake2 CTF Tourney, there is going to be LOTS of compotition, check out their page and read up on the rules.  The Tourney dosen't start until October 15th, giving us quite a bit of time to practice(I think i'll be a LPB then too...WOHOO!).  I'm also tweaking the site some more, doing a lot of little touchups that need to be done.

   I'm gonna be late...

See you then
    - S

     Speaking of new players, I would like to announce that TeddyLuv and cocoapuff have joined the 99VC!!!  Everyone be sure to welcome them aboard.  The 99VC are almost complete for the 98/99 season of Q2CTF!

     ...I know I'm forgetting a LOT of stuff...but I'm to tired to think of what it might be.  I'll finish this update later today
