Games Most Anticipated: These are games that aren't released yet but I have seen some type of coverage on them:

  • Primal
  • Quake 4

Chat Hangouts: Irc.enterthegame.com [#xp, #rts, #pym, #w00t!, #rhomidcide, #qgirlz], ICQ and occasionally the Quake3world Forums since it's one of my baby sites I nurtured for those year. As you can see, I don't chat anywhere other than where gamers hang out. 

Connection: DSL (LPB)

Clan: I am in an old school clan called XtremePrejudice (XP). Some people feel the word prejudice means being that against people but this clan was founded off of a miltary term. These guys have been around since a bit before Doom 1 came out. They're all like family so to me it's like having XP as our last name. 

Now if I describe how much I adore this clan, you guys would think I am kissing booty. But to be honest, I haven’t had a heart to go to another clan because I adore so many people who are in it. Even when I left on April 1st 1999… Quazi and some people thought I happened to have been playing an April Fools joke. I actually wished it was a joke back then.

Leaving that day was like I ripped my heart out and threw it in a lake. The feeling wasn’t nice but there was too many things going on so I just had this urge to do it. There were three reasons why I had left.

One was the fact that I felt I wasn’t helping XP with anything… I wasn’t in any competitions. I wasn’t even helping at events and it just seemed like the focus of XP seemed different from when I had joined. When in reality it had all the same concept, I was just not seeing people I used to see any more since most of them got sucked into Everquest and hardly hung out on ICQ and IRC.

Second reason was some things I thought I was seeing about the clan… mainly pride. But now that it’s cleared up… I have learned that it’s not always what you see online (in typing matter). If I had seen these people (who I had thought were being this way) in real life, maybe I would of seen a better aspect of things. Third reason was a personal one so that one has been settled. :)

Any ways, when I had left…XP remained the same. They all still treated me like a sister still. Some were very upset and asked what happened. Even if it wasn’t XP-Sister, it felt the same no matter what.

I told my brother (DarkViper) last October 1999 that my heart hasn’t really left XP, it’s hard to even have the idea to go to another clan. I still wanted to go back but felt there could have been rejection. I felt I could have hurt people in the process of leaving that first time.

Months flew by and in February 2000 I had opportunities to attend many LANs that happen in the Bay Area since I had moved up here. There’s tons of activity going in Northern California but what always kept lingering is not having that XP homey yet cozy feeling. I guess people who haven’t been in other clans won’t ever know the difference unless they have had the privilege of meeting such awesome people like XP has. I rejoined the clan in September 2000.

Previous Clans:  

Shadow Clan: I was in this clan for a long enough period of time when I was playing Command and Conquer and Scarab. I was a hard core C&C addict at the time, this was one of the hardest clans online to get in for C&C but it was fun playing in little online competitions to a game I loved so much. I left the clan because C&C was getting to be not as popular and the clan actually retired during this period.

X-Lax: This clan was a pretty well known clan on mplayer.com just because the top players on that multiplayer gaming service were in it. It was a rebellious clan really. They made the name in the term of saying no matter what they were named, they’d still trample everyone that stood in their path. I never really got into the real title of being able to play in real competitions with them… they had me on because I was well known as California Girl at the time. I was known to everyone on Mplayer as the XLax mascot.

I learned a lot of tips from many of the members in that clan for just being an observer and playing them during practice more so before their real challenges. I wasn’t an outcast really, just set aside because I was their little girl (sister in many ways). I was always there to cheer them on before and after matches so they appreciated my presence… some called me the XLax cheerleader. Some of the guys in the clan were:

  • Footmaster: He was a guy that was in the Shadow Clan so I knew him very well from C&C and he's one of the people who I watched corrupt all of the C&C players to move on to play Quake 1. He rocked at C&C so when he left for Quake I that’s when my curiosity went wild. I had to check to see why people would think this Quake game could be more fun than C&C.

  • Ledbetter was an amazing Quake 1 player. He no longer is in the gaming scene now but I occasionally to bump into him on IRC when he looks me up to chat. It was always nice to watch him during tournaments. 

  • Bitter was originally in the Lucifer’s Angels (LA) clan with another guy named Peace, A few years later the clan renamed to Canine (K9). Bitter was a really good player for being HPB most of the time against LPB. All of us used to wonder how awesome he'd be at a LAN...  he'd leave people in the dust. He was also known in the PGL as the best trackball gamer there. 

  • Megahertz was known in the clan as XLax-Mhz. He joined Canine (K9) as well in 1998. 

I left the X-Lax clan to play around with a new clan DarkViper and I created for fun (NB). About 2 week later the X-Lax clan died out.

Newsboys (NB): This was more of a hidden clan. People from many various clans joined it as another alias that wasn’t there own so when there was matches played… it was hilarious on what people would do just to know who these guys were. Some of them were Ledbetter, LA-Peace, Bitter, Megahertz and some other clan members. The hilarious thing was the names the guys came up with. Like Bitter was NB-Laddie, LA-Peace was NB-Grudge and so forth. Getting them all on the same server one night when the clan just started was the most exciting thing I have ever done. They were playing their own clan members and had no idea they were. Another funny thing was how people thought NB stood for NEWBIE clan. Then when they played the guys they were awestruck and upset. That's when the gamers tried to do some investigating. 

At the end of the first competition that night I had all of the NB gamers in the clan jump into a room, we locked the doors so everyone could talk on the microphones. All of them wanted to know who was who. When they found out who each other were they couldn't stop laughing. They were mad at some of the skilled players. Having them guess who each other was just so cool.

Then after our chat we unlocked the door and started a game. Lots of gamers kept coming in the game and asking who we were.  Then we would see people watch and observe these guys who they felt were just awesome at the game but had no idea where they came from. It was just too hilarious for words. Some even said for NB to challenge XLax, I don’t know how that would of happened when most of them were on as that name goofing off.

I kept my real nick name and just added NB on it. I was more so a girl in the clan called Newsboys so some people thought that was odd. :P  This was just a very fun clan to be in. It never really lasted that long since some of the people that were in other clans could no longer keep their names hidden from being exposed. It was either they really stayed with NB or they stayed with their real clan. It was more of a hoax clan if you ask me. Something Jacob (DarkViper) and I wanted to goof off on.
