I first heard of Quake around April of '97 but didn't pay much attention due to my thinking that Duke Nukem was a much better game, playing with friends like Romeo and 69er. In early August '97 I would realize Quake was the most r337 game. And so I played single player on my 486 until a week later I got my Sprynet ISP and my 14.4. I WAS ROCKIN'!! My brother MrBeefy told me to get Quake Spy and and I did, and so it begins...

I played DM online for about a week before I found my clan {=DK=} Dark Knights and ICQ. We were pretty good, had a record of 25-3 or something. The i found that they played CTF also, so I quickly went and got the goods. McKinley Base becoming my favorite. level I grew on the game quickly. At the end of August my family and I went to Reno Nevada for 2 weeks, and when I got back I found an e-mail saying {=DK=} had disbanded. I was kinda confused at the time not knowing what it meant, heh. But I found out what it did mean not knowing I would hear it for a LONG time.

In early Sept. '97 I went to stay the weekend out at my MrBeefy's apartment and while he was at work I found a game on his P90 called Team Fortress. I started playing and found it more interesting than CTF. I had to write down all the classes so I could remember what else I could play. I quickly took up engineer and that's all I would play. I didn't know how to upgrade a sentry to level 2, but at the time most people couldn't take out a level 1, so it worked out good. 4f4 became my favorite map and that's about all I played. Once I got back home I DL'd TF and started playing. I played with Nuclear Rabbit on pubs for a while,  he taught me the basics.

In late Sept. '97 I met [EHA]Noodles on a Rock1 server and I was playing engie (of course). I asked him about recruiting and he said that EHA was just started a month ago I got his UIN and tried out, I was EHAr for about 1 week and that was that. In December of '97 EHA moved onto IRC realizing it was more efficient than ICQ. #EHA was the only channel I hanged in, 'cause I didn't know anyone else. EHA grew and I started not liking how Noodles was running things. Then I meat [LP]·MilleniuS· on a pub and asked him about a tryout. He told me to go to #LP and I did. I left EHA for LP in last Dec, holding bad blood between us.

Now LP was the clan that I really "learned" to play TF, they taught me how to upgrade guns and time grens (which was still a secret). LP consisted of lot's of good people like, MilleniuS, Kero, Smith69, Azulez, CiD, Redrum, free_mason, Dill-Hole,The Hooded One, SightBlinder, Lazarus and a few others. LP was a kick ass clan at the time, this also was the 2nd birth of LP and most of know what eventually happens to clans that form again. LP played scrims against MP and other clans. I was rather happy when we got to play EHA, we won like 5-2 on 2f4. Soon Dill-Hole released 2fort4r, and it was good. Then, on January 31, 1998 at 9:38PM est. the unthinkable happened, LP disbanded. This time it hurt. I loved this clan they were the greatest bunch of guys I've ever been able to play with at the time. But it ended, we went our separate ways. fm went to [UN]. Kero to ]MP[. Az to 2[AA]. Mill to >V<. Hooded to [cM], CiD to [DN], Smith69 to ·IC· (i believe), Redrum to [BrB] (i think?), Dill to real life. And I just disappeared from ICQ/IRC for a long time, not really knowing how to deal with what happened to LP.

I just pubbed for a while until I met Nuclear Rabbit on a pub again in Feb. He was in [LLoD] Last Line of Defense and he convinced me to join. I took up demoman and it quickly became my favorite. class. Me still holding a grudge against EHA asked them for a match, we played 'em, we won. It was pretty fun until early Feb. when LLoD died, another disband clan. And it made me mad, but I started to realize it happens. [Er187] Eruption187 asking if i wanted to join there clan and I did, I met Mach3 (the leader). I hung on IRC more and in #MP and talked with more people. Then, Er187 disband in late March. So I went to the pubs again. I was playing some canyon1 and I met some ]AoA[ guy's and they were AWESOME! I asked 'em what it stood for but I couldn't remember for the life of me.

Then in April '98 I remember this vividly, I was playing well6 on some server and ]AoA[Rommel and ]AoA[Ragnorok were there. Rom piping the attic and Rag rr sold, and me just being a fool. I asked what AoA stood for again and asked about tryouts, they said to go to #]AoA[, and I did. I talked to Rag for a few days before I got my tryout and of course I made it. I was so happy being AoAr, about as happy as ever since LP disband. AoA was rockin''. Then on  May 25, 1998 at 7:00PM est. I got this crazy idea for a demoman guild (after learning about Kaizen, Paragon and TFRC). ·D5· started out slow but grew in the coming months. Summer break came and AoA went inactive over the summer so I decided to go find other clans for a temp. supply of fun.

I joined MC where I remained for 1 week, but due to them not needing any more D players, I left. I looked into DN, was hoping to join them. But before I tried out I got word that CP was recruiting. So I went for them, I was CPr for 2 weeks. During that time we beat EHA (heh) but I came to realizes again nobody in CP liked me, and I didn't like them, so I quit before becoming full CP.

AoA came back from the break and it just wasn't the same. LOTS of new recruits, hardly and old members and within a month I noticed AoA was falling apart and then there was some internal conflict inside the clan, and I left AoA. They disband 2 weeks later.

And here I am now, although no longer the leader of Det5 I'm still a member, heh. D5 is growing strong. PlanetFortress elected us as the official demo guild of TF so it's rockin''. We are being hosted by PF (http://www.planetfortress.com/det5). We currently have 18 members and are playing in the IGL 5v5 league. That's my history. =P
