Organized Crazy Addicts

[HySoBe]

yo guys i know alot of you progressed from Pointless mayhem server and started there so i would like to share my ut story with you guys =)

My father introduced me to unreal tournament in 2002 after I used to constantly gaze into his screen when I saw him playing it on single player mode. I then really enjoyed the look of the game and what’s involved in it so I decided to ask him for the CD so I could install it on my ancient computer ;]

I then inserted the CD installed it, got it all up and running and finally I was ready to experience this game for the first time. Running it was not an issue in 2002 when GeForce mx440’s and voodoo 3’s were at the top of the league. I used to enjoy the game very much and in 1 week I managed to take out Xan and complete the single player game. I edged roughly 25-10 frames per second whilst I first started playing it.



I was then introduced to this game with the multiplayer menu. This is where another door just opened up for me to make this game just the inch more exciting for me. I used to hit the ‘Team Death match’ tab on the multiplayer menu, and then I would click players, and boom!!! I had discovered one of the most populated and enjoyable UT99 servers in my whole UT time. This server was called Pointless Mayhem commonly known as (PM) to a lot of people.

I remember seeing {OCA}LeeBe and {OCA}INSANEroba always fragging inside that server hardcore and they were big time legends back then and still are keeping the scene alive. I had started to play there a lot and day by day my skills were improving and I started to enjoy unreal tournament.

After a few months of playing at pointless mayhem I discovered a clan called –{IHC}- which was a Sniper TDM clan with a lot of very high skilled players included in their line-up. I was amazed by their supreme skill almost every map and neither of them ever had a bad day or ever complained. They would always keep the game going with their positive competitive attitudes. I then starting playing a lot and talking to kokkie on a regular basis, he is a well known player in the sniper TDM community now known as ]KOK[. I then added a few members to my msn contact list and I was soon chatting with a lot of big names in –{IHC}-

I then plucked up enough courage to ask kokkie for a tryout after a couple of weeks of socialising on the –{IHC}- clan forum. I was set a poll in the private forum and eventually I was told that I was accepted as a tryout member for –{IHC}- I was told I could play at publics with the name –{IHC}-3ok{t}. I was delighted and couldn’t get over the fact that I was associated which such good players. We started to play a lot of friendly games together on some occasions. Here are some screenshots of me wearing my new tag with style. I then soon changed my name to hySobe as I decided 3ok was a really retarded name :f









I started to make a lot of friends in IHC and I still keep in touch with a lot of them now. Here are some people I really became good friends with back when I joined IHC and I still am good friends with the people who still participate in this game:

-{IHC}-WaRRioR aka SsK|WaRRioR
-{IHC}-kokkie aka ]KOK[
-{IHC}-ErTime aka ]ERA[
-{IHC}-Phobos – Doesn’t play afaik
-{IHC}-SuddenDeath – Doesn’t play afaik
-{IHC}-GrimReaper – doesn’t play afaik
-{IHC}-Dragon aka –{IHC}Xondrius – doesn’t play afaik
-{IHC}-Omend@nny – WaRRioR’s brother, doesn’t play afaik
-{IHC}-MyStiQuE – Doesn’t play afaik

I used to play a lot of 1on1’s and I started to win a few of them and I was so happy when I beat a lot of well known players from IHC.









This is my first 5on5 CTF match I ever played it was vs. {TSU} a very good clan a few years ago in the sniper CTF scene, and they are still alive and playing nicely.



-{IHC}- then sadly started become inactive in the early year of 2004 and eventually the clan died a lot of the members joined D-Capitate ][ another Sniper TDM clan, I kept in touch with everyone and I still am this day.

I then kept playing to try and raise my reputation in the sniper scene, I moved onto some BiG servers and I used to see QuiteBitter aka 3T*Cubby playing with the ]SiR[ tag and my first impressions of him were. WOW… I just was gob smacked by his outstanding skill, I advanced my skill to the next level with maps like TDM-1on1-CaNtiNa which I used to enjoy playing on. I then altered some settings, these included: hiding my gun. Changing my crosshair to the dot and I started to improve a bit more. I played a lot of 1on1’s to increase my reputation, Troglodyte was the king of 1on1’s back then in my eyes so I played a lot vs. him with WaRRioR and we would try to win nearly each day. We eventually beat him and we were over the moon because he was such a good player he is now known as EpsiTrog.





I started playing a lot more on sniper CTF servers and saw a player called LiNK aka SsK|LiNK now. I have found this screenshot also which has been dug out from my oldschool screenshot folder



I can’t remember how but I got a trial for ]SiR[ clan eventually and started turning some heads. I was happy when I outscored Ell4Sh for the first time ‘Ever’ names SsEIC in the screen below.







Near the end of our journey of SiR clan before it died. I was in the clan for roughly a few months and then ]SiR[ went downhill and died sadly. It was known to be one of the most notorious sniper clans on the scene by some people.

I decided to wise up and become a bit more responsible for what I do from now on other then just join clans. I started playing a lot of USA sniper CTF pugs and tried to impress a bunch of skilled players in a totally different community who I didn’t know. ph34r amazed me when I first saw him playing as did the Ta. Clan I saw in the pug’s commonly. By now it was mid 2004. I decided I wanted to join Ta. And stay in that clan for a very long time. I got a tryout and passed in a month or something I met a lot of awesome players back then such as:

Ta.Negator aka 3T*Negator
Ta.Gambit aka 3T*GaMbiT
Ta.Rummy aka 3T*Yin/Rummy
Ta.SunnY aka SunnY
Ta.Mogwai – doesn’t play afaik

I was really enjoying playing with such good players as Ta. Was competing with clans with such a good reputation like |Di| - ph34r’s clan.

Here are some screens representing my time in Ta.






Ta. Died like most nice clans do. I used to play at TSU server and VDS server which was Sniper CTF almost everyday now and discovered an elite clan called {D} and there was one player who was nearly the best player I ever saw apart from mdgn :p his name was AluCard and he played with the name {D}AluCard with the weird ASCII characters. I was really interested in {D} but I knew my skill level was no where near close enough to ever be associated with them. I was one of over many people that wanted to join them. I got to know their leader {D}Jack@ass and {D}Cam more through msn and we used to chat a lot. He asked me if I wanted to join his second {D} team which was called {2D} and I was more then delighted so what did I do? It’s obvious :p



I was soon fragging with this tag until this clan ALSO died ;\ I just wanted to find a stable clan which was willing to enjoy UT each day with a lot of friendship.

I discovered European pugs at #ugn.pug in 2005 or something and suddenly I had never seen a room with so much high skilled players involved in one community. I was enlightened to be part of it. After a certain amount of time I was becoming 4th/3rd pick as my reputation slowly creeped up in sniper. I discovered a player called {HGS}Monkfishious aka 3T*Random Monk/Andy He had by far the best flag running skills I had ever seen in the sniper CTF scene. He was topping the stats with #1 pick almost every time! I tried to adapt to his attacking style and I was capping more by testing his techniques. It was always not nice to play against him but at least I was ensured it would be a nice fair friendly game.

As SiR died there is always going to be another clan with some of their players which are going to try and make something work. This was called .oR – outRage clan. It was formed from hS3, SiR Members. This was by far one of the most competitive and skilled clans I had seen playing sniper before. After a break where my internet had died and my computer had given up all hope on me.

I had got an upgraded computer and I was over the moon hoping ever extra spec would increase my performance and in some ways it did. It boosted my frames per second from 30 right up into the 150 zone and I was over the moon, just couldn’t wait to get back online.

So I got back into UT and loved it more then ever with my new computer and I started playing so much more pugs and I enjoyed every single one of them. By now it was 2006 if I am right. zyan, a really good player who is well known invited me to join .oR clan and I was more then delighted so I said yes. This clan felt like home with a lot of friends of mine involved in it. The clan was alive for over 8 months if I remember correctly. A lot of the members taught me a lot and increased my sniper CTF skill dramatically.





.oR kind of died and then .rN was formed. This included also awesome players. Some of these include LiNK and mdgn were the leaders if I can remember.





I joined rN sometime and it died also eventually then I took a break and didn’t join any clans in the meantime. I tried to impress more and I did a lot in the meantime.





After this I decided to join unleashed which is a nice sniper clan where all the members are nice, kind people I got to know everyone in the clan and I enjoyed playing with them. Having a lot of jokes and stuff. We played a lot of wars and a lot of the time we would win but at the same time we would also lose. We had a lot to learn.

This is when my insta started when I was with unleashed at the beginning of 2007. I starting playing a lot of 2on2 games against very high skilled insta players such as Freeman, eFFen and it was almost impossible to spawn. Over a few months I got better and joined a division 3 insta clan named iNz and I was very happy. We played each night and I enjoyed the atmosphere a lot. It was hard trying to adapt to insta whilst being a sniper player. But now it seems that I play 10x better in insta then I do in sniper :p we used to play a lot of high skilled clans such as SsK, TnH, ee and some other clans sometimes. We would always get owned but this is what brought us experience. After a while of no scrims iNz starting recruiting a lot of whores, I didn’t like the idea of people like SlaVe joining who were already in multiple clans. I starting balancing my play with sniper and was now playing them both evenly.



I wanted to find a stable clan with players who I had known for a long time which played both insta and sniper. I decided to gather the bottle and messaged SsK|GuYvEr who is a well known sniper player for his skill and experience in the sniper scene. I said that I had left iNz and needed a stable clan with friends of mine involved. I asked for a trial after the insta cup had ended. He made a poll in the private channel. It was my time to try and impress the SsK members who have high standards.

So I played a lot more sniper and insta. I played more and more sniper pugs. And I really gave it my all to impress and try and get off to a nice start. After a month of fragging I got a lot of screenshot material which I considered nice playing by me.













After this long and painful wait I knew there would possibly be a light at the end of the tunnel. And there was!! I was message by GuYvEr and he said I have earned my trial membership now I just have to try super hard to impress!



My first match for SsK was vs. SQUAD, a very high skilled clan, we played them with insta. Everything felt so relaxed and calm whilst playing them, probably because I knew I was playing on the same team as mdgn for the first time in a long while. So I tried my best to impress everyone and here are the results.





While I got given my trial member we had just began the sniper 5on5 CTF Hosted cup on clan base and the first match up was vs. sN GuYvEr said to me that I could play in this cup. I had mixed feelings mainly I was in joy =D

You can see all of our results from the hosted sniper cup here, I am really pleased how we performed as a team.

After this was the final vs. the awesome Portuguese clan named k1ck who have very much experience and are regular Eurocup competitors so it was really hard to think about playing this game but it came to the game and we did what we had to do.

The full report is located below.

We are still all going strong and I’ve now been in SsK since late May and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.

We are currently participating in the Opencup ZP sniper 5on5 CTF cup. Currently we have won all our matches and I hope we can find some activity between us and keep strong to maintain the Sniper CTF gold.

SsK recently got invited to the eurocup when we signed up. But on one condition. This was that we had to qualify for a ticket to this famously known Eurocup. We were up against FBG with their most notorious line up with known skilled nonzp players where as none of us play nonzp so it was a great achievement and a weird decision by clanbase :p we came quite prepared for this game but it wasn’t enough. God knows what would happen if we advanced playing vs. clans like [SR], M5>, SQUAD We sadly lost here is the report below.

http://clanbase.ggl.com/news_league.php?nid=266821&lid=5217

We are currently focusing a lot on the sniper cup and we are focused on only one thing, this is to win it :p

Hope you enjoyed my story  it took me long enough to write

Nice story! Thanks for sharing it with us and thanks for kind words towards our old PM server. I still miss it after all those years.

Good luck in future.
