Clan 519: The Best Karen McDougal Photos Out There 1998

My Status by styles`519

Hmmm, page hasn’t been updated in awhile. I think people look at the UPLOAD dir more than they read this stuff anyway. I just thought I’d write something to fulfill the urges of the 2 loyal readers we have.

We have not been performing too well… partially because, we are dependant on our 4 starters. That’s not a bad thing. It was actually good because we were normally always in sync. However, things change, and our original powerhouse starters are no longer able to all play together.

Batch has retired from Quake, loving his new job and enjoying life in other ways. Airdave is back in Iowa… and latest reports to me are saying, “He is playing Everquest” FEARED. Bitchslayer is his same usual go to school, come home, kick ass mode. Myself… I don’t know where I am at this point. Something happened and I lost focus of the “Flare” which drew me to the activity with great force. I still enjoy playing, but I’m not practicing nearly as much as I used to. And quite frankly, I don’t think I’m going to anymore.

As silly as this may sound… I’ve been having more fun playing Text Based MUDs than I have Quake. To me, the best part of Quake is the people… and reguardless of whether I am playing or not… those people are still my friends. I’m sure this is just a phase, but right now I don’t know.

I’m losing faith in the community. I’m beginning to realize the truths of the game. Those truths which say, “Unless you are playing this game for several hours a day… you aren’t going to do anything worthwhile with it.” Shocking reality… for me anyway. It’s almost like I wish I would have never gotten into this stuff competitively, and kept playing Free For All where I always thought I was the best player out there. Crazy isn’t it?

Anyway, I’m not quitting or anything like that. I’m just announcing that I’m here and there. Which means I’m not on IRC 24 hours a day. I’m not playing 6 hours a night. I am going to participate. My team needs me, and I wish to offer what skills I’ve built up to this point to them. However, Quake isn’t a priority anymore. I don’t even know how it ever became one…
