Message Board
KYA now has a Message Board. It's linked from the web page.
Here's a
link for
your convenience also.
I plan to continue this newsletter, but the message board will be good for
discussions rather than emailing back and forth, and hoping your KYA mail list
is up to date. Speaking of which, two of our long (almost lost) members
have recently gotten new email accounts:
FatCon99
Well, FatCon was a big success... I'll do a FatCon web page as soon
as I get my pictures developed and scanned (me too cheap to get a digital
camera). I have some demos too...
The attendance was smaller than anticipated, but that didn't stop us from
having a heck of a time.
Here's some highlights...
- Watching everyone's face, when they saw the huge server FD&H had set
up for us... (Quad Xeon 450's, 1GB RAM)... There was much Tim Allen
style grunting...and several offers to take it away for "safe keeping"
lol
- Hearing FD&H yell "PULL" from the Kitchen as he shot Mega out of
mid-air for the 5th consecutive time in 1 vs. 1 Rocket Arena...
- Incredibly loud distorted sound blaring from the entire house for the
entire 5 minutes that we played Weapons Of Destruction... The loud sound was
almost enough to drown out the sound of at least half the players screaming
"This Mod SUX" at the top of their lungs... hehe
- Big Daddy schooling all of us at least once. If you think
he's good with a 350 ping... You don't want to be around when his ping
is 9. J
- Barbecue sandwiches.
- Lots of INSANE Lithium action, with {CPQ}Guerro being "best grapple
monkey" and giving out free rail lessons...
- I found myself saying "NICE" to The Curse quite often in spite of his
disparaging remarks when he first arrived.
- We had a hard time convincing Big Daddy that he could use his vocal chords
rather than the keyboard... His "hehe" became quite a funny inside
joke... As you can imagine, there was a lot of laughs, a ton of
frags, and 2 tons of CPU horsepower at FatCon99.
From KYA we had: FD&H, The Curse, Mega, Big Daddy, and Hathor (Mrs.
Mega). Mrs. Big Daddy made a non-fragging appearance too. Also, there
were a slew of the local Q2 players there to frag with us. We missed yins
that couldn't make it, but I'm sure this won't be the last opportunity...
(Tifa's LAN Party in July, QuakeCon in August, and FatCon2000 (hint hint)
hehe
T2K Scrimmage
As yins have figured out by now, it didn't happen Sunday night 5/7/99 as
tentatively planned. I chatted with Defiant of T2K, and he's all for a
re-scrimmage so we'll plan something soon.
As I've said before, yins are more than welcome to scare up some matches
with other clans... Just keep me in the loop, and I'll help communicate...
