Nov. 24/2003: Another week has come and gone of UFC Tourney play. On Saturday, Shirts played <X>. The first map ended up close with the Shirts on top by two at the end of the map. Shirts played DM14 to their advantage, playing the map in close quarters and keeping the enemy down. Ho did an awsome job as coach and was a strong influence in the win. Skins played CHK on Sunday. Skins got out to a slow start on the first map OSP5 which led to the loss. In the second map OSP6 it was a frag fest each point was close and we didn't get enough bounces : ) . Rosters for the Semi Finals will be out soon. We will message those chosen for the Semi Final Match. UFC TOURNEY LINK: http://ufc.azfl.us/ ReaPer Nov. 17/2003: I've released the trial version of hodm5 today. Please play around in the map when you get a chance and let me know your thoughts. It's on the VegasHo Server.
Nov. 17/2003: On Thursday Shirts played hard fought match against 311. Although playing well in the first map and losing by only 2, bad timing and minor mistakes led to our downfall in the second and third maps. On Sunday, Skins played SZ. Skins played them to a victory in the first map, only to drop the remaining 2 maps. In an interview with SS Sally after the match he stated that " We played like a bunch of NEWBS on the last 2 maps" We are all anxious to correct our mistakes as we all know we are experienced tournament players and those mistakes made don't happen often. We all make mistakes. We just have to learn from them and try not to make the same ones again. So Buck Up :)) . ReaPer Nov. 11/2003: Well another week of success for SS*, with both teams scoring decisive 9-3 victories. By UFC scoring, you get 1 point for showing up for a match and 2 points for a victory in a game, for a possible 9 points. Both teams showed exceptional teamwork. It is evident that our extra dedication to practice and the team philosophy is really paying off. We still have some work to do however I think we can all honestly say that we have taken our games to the next level. Good Job Guys... And wOOt wOOt We have two VERY important matches this week SS*Skins are playing SZ. This should prove to be a win if we don't under estimate SZ and their rail potential. The SS*Shirts play 311. This again should prove interesting as both teams are railing teams. If both teams play like we know we can we should come away with another 2 victories this week. Both the Skins team and the Shirts team sport a record of 3 wins and 2 losses. Stay tuned for times and rosters of these matches. - ReaPer

- For those of you who are fairly new to this map, here are all the tips
and tricks available on the map. This is of course all that I'm aware of.
If you have something else, just let me know to add it.
-VegasHo Oct 23/2003:
Aww. Thanks. If any of you need my mailing
address to send me flowers or a dead woodchuck, just let me know. Does
this mean I have to come to meetings clothed?
Oct 23/2003:
I want to proudly announce another Clan staff
promotion. Someone that has been extremely deserving of the title of
OFFICER. SS**VegasHo
has been promoted to the rank of officer. Also I will be flying 3
stars on my tag now to signify me as "the" leader of the clan. With
the promotion of SS**VegasHo,
that leaves one open spot for a TOP, which will be filled before the AZFL
starts. There will be some transition period as SS**VegasHo
takes on his new responsibilities.
Oct 21/2003:
We continue to grow! Please welcome SS*3vol+1on
to the SS* crew. And with our growth we have added 2 TOPS to the
ranks to assist us in preparing for a 3 team submission to AZFL.
Please congratulate SS*^Kloser
and SS*^Pokeman
to the rank of TOP Enlisted. With the new additions we now can have 1
Officer and 2 TOPS to assist EACH team. This will help ensure that
SS* stays well managed as we grow and also allows us to involve many more
players in organized competition. Oct 19/2003: Well, here are some previews of the map I've been working hard on. There's still a ton to get done, and lots to clean up, but at least you can view the general idea here. I've built it with 4v4 UFT in mind. Once I get to a packaging point, I sure could use some feedback. It's called TeamHo, and it has a CHER room. :)
Oct 17/2003: SS*Skins battled with clan TLK2. While we were cleaning TLK2 off the floor the first two maps, we got entirely too boastful, and blew the wad on the last map. We wont let that happen again. SS*Skins 7 - TLK2 5 Oct 9/2003: First round UFC Action! SS*Skins battled with clan PQ Wednesday evening. SS*Skins took control of quad on TEDDM1 and maintained lead to victory. On the second map OSPDM6, PQ showed their brawling ability and kept SS*Skins beat back even though a valiant last 2 minutes was fought by SS*Skins to narrow the gap, it was not enough, PQ wins OSPDM6. On the final deciding map for the match, SS*Skins locked down the red room and consistently made PQ's Quad ineffective against the tight defensive posture. SS*Skins control the map and game tempo to victory! Final UFC points, SS*Skins 7 - PQ 5. The SS*Shirts team tonight went against the always tough DFA group. DFA has some outstanding talent, and took SS*Shirts seriously as evident in their starting lineup including the always awesome DFA*PEET. SS*Shirts did excellent in sticking together, but the onslaught of PEET proved to be the steel wedge that split the log. DFA wins TEDDM1. OSPDM6 however showed SS*Shirts scrapping ability. DFA, though without PEET that round, were unable to keep the tenacious SS*Shirts from taking a decisive victory on the map. The third and final map for the match win had DFA concerned about victory, and they rotated 3 of the players out from the OSPDM6 map, returning PEET and the battle was on. SS*Shirts were basically over powered and with the unexpected lagout of SS*KillerBeez, we had to do a quick swap out and bring in a cold player to fill the roster. SS*Workingman stepped up to the challenge, even though his ping was near 200. He gave it his best and did excellent job of softening them up, but alas, DFA wins Q3DM14TMP. Final UFC score, DFA 7, SS*Shirts 5 ** Available demo's on FTP server in UFC Tourney folder. Oct 7/2003: We want to welcome another experienced UFT player to our ranks, SS*BuzzedBad (some members will remember him as Thumper).

looking, or it will put a half smile on your face and it will have served

Sep 20/2003: Just to make all of you lamerz jealous - Here is VegasHo's new system, thanks to WingRdr for selecting the hardware, getting the best bang for the buck, and setting it all up. What a guy! WingRdr has the absolute best prices, he'll cut you a deal too! AMD Athlon XP 2.8GB+ (Barton) 333 FSB 512K
Sep 20/2003: The UFC Rosters have been decided. We are submitting 2 teams. Maximum attendance is requested. We are also resuming Saturday practices thru this tourney. Any questions or comments please see me. SS**Wing
Sep 20/2003: Some new items to talk about. First lets all welcome SS*Grim (former DFM-Grim) to the clan. SS*Grim brings experience and talent to the team and we look forward to seeing him in action in upcoming events. Speaking of events, it appears as though we may be having an interim tourney event at the end of this month or early next. L0D may sponsor it, click here to learn more. Also in effort to assist AZFL with standard configs, I have been working on our public server to provide a more flexible standard using AZFL/LIC configs as a guideline. I have much work yet to do, but things are shaping up. In a nutshell, it will allow a variety of STANDARD setting to be /callvote'd on servers adhering to AZFL standards. for example :
There other differences too which I will be posting in a documentation page at later time. Check 'em out, send comments and suggestions to me at wing@clansharpshooter.com
Sep 12/2003: Get
on the bandwagon peeps! Sep 11/2003: Today we remember and honor those who passed on 9-11, the heroes everywhere, and the families that will forever be without treasured loved ones. -Ho Sep 11/2003: Who does this remind you of? :)
Sep 3/2003: As I promised some mIRC folks, here are some requested demos, and a couple extra fun demos: DFATC-Course-Extended - This is again the 6 step main course on DFATC. However, this time, I've done each one a few times and in different ways. DFATC-DoubleRocket - This is a double rocket to get from one side of room to the other. Yeah, yeah, many can do this. Though some can't. So here it is. cos1-RedRoom! - The eagerly awaited RedRoom. I'm only doing the first curved wall here, and then preview what's next. :) I'm still working on the next step in the RedRoom. The trick to the curvy wall, is to start turning towards the curve slightly before you even reach it. Therefore you are already in position to slide it at the correct angle. cos1-PlasmaJump - In practice for step two of the RedRoom, this shows how to leap over a hole, into a wall, start plasma climbing, switch walls, and get to another ledge. Whew! The trick to leaping a space and smacking a wall only to start plasma climbing, is to come at it at a slight angle. Heading straight for the wall will prove fruitless. cos1-GreenRoom! - This shows you each of the green rooms, a couple times, except for the last one, which I still can't seem to perfect. Can you get to the end of it? Please tell me. cos1-PlasmaFun - This is Plasma distance tricks. The trick behind getting distance left or right, is to start at a slight angle opposite the direction you're headed. When you get moving up, and reach the desired height, increase your angle so you start moving that direct even faster, while holding your height steady. If you've got a particular skill you need helpful demo's on, let me know. -SS*^VegasHo
DFATC-Course - This is the 6 step main course on DFATC. I used plasma on the high walls, though a double rocket works too. This is simple, but fun to learn if you can't do it yet. DFATC-PlasmaFun - This is a fun plasma trick. Climb one wall, switch walls, and go for red armor on other side of room. cos1-LittleBlueRoom - Here's a plasma demo for the small blue room in cos1. If you still can't get to the glass roof top, watch this short demo a couple times. cos1-SpeedStrafing - I mentioned getting over 2100ups speed strafing down the middle of the long hall. I think this one gets over 2200, but I've been know to go 2400. Also, try this neat trick: Crouch down backwards, and BFG the floor while jumping. It's called Sliding and I've gotten well over 3kups like that. ;) If you don't already know how to set up your game to practice these maps, here's the information: 1.)
Load q3, single player, skirmish, choose any map, and don't add any bots,
etc.
Aug 31/2003: -SS*^VegasHo Aug 26/2003: I am sad to announce that SS*Kirby has left Clan SS* and joined Clan IAF. We wish Kirby well with his new team...SS**Wing Aug 17/2003: L0D|Alien and TLK-Mini stopped by for a visit at my business today. Nice to put face with a name... here are some pics Mini took: Pic1 Pic2 ..SS**Wing Aug 8/2003: I am happy to announce that we have two new members added to the ranks. They are SS*Vena and SS*Workingman. Please make them feel welcome and give them a hand where they need it. I am sure they will be assets to the clan. SS**Spike Aug 2/2003: 2 SS Members selected as LIC2 All Star Players!!
-VegasHo July 30/2003: If I told you I was being forced to show you this image, would you believe me? -Ho July 28/2003: LIC Semifinals Results - Casual Div - A great game was played by Crusader, Poke, Spidey, Sally and our excellent coach Reaper. However, [B] snuck in there and stole the game. In the end, the Casual Division played 8 games and only lost two matches. Very impressive indeed - All the way to the finals. I can't wait for next year. We rock! The Competitive Div also loses out on their Quarterfinals match to cm. I know the team is the best group in SS and will only prove to get better and better. Again, next year will be an even more impressive tourney. I
believe a Casual SS vs. Competitive SS match is on order
here. :p July 28/2003: Sally - Strafe Jumping on OPC1? Whoda thunked?! :) Demo1:
Well, in this demo I make 3 botched attempts and then finally make the
fourth. I've noticed WingRdr (practicing alone) getting to at least the 7th or 8th pad lately. I'm sure he'll start making it soon. He does it it quite differently, doing alternating strafes immediately. I prefer two left strafes before alternating. But he gets moving, so I'm impressed. There are many ways you can start strafing. Kloser is looking serious about it and making valiant attempts as he learns. I'm betting he will be the third teammate to make it, with possibly Crusader right behind him. -VegasHo July 27/2003: Ok - I need to rant here. Why is it acceptable to only gaming web sites that downloads must be held on fifty million mirror servers? And when you go to download one friggin file, you must open ten linking windows to actually find the damned file you want to download? You know, on most sites, you simply click on the file to download and it starts coming down to your PC. WTF are these gaming websites thinking? They always have the coolest looking sites, but they sure have earned themselves a big fat friggin ZERO for functionality. I can understand a couple mirrors. But those mirror links better have the download on the first page it opens. Having to dig 10 windows deep for the file is STOOPIT. -VegasHo July 25/2003: Casual SS to play Casual [B] in Semifinals! Our lineup will consist of Crusader, Spidey, Poke, and myself. Lets get in a practice Saturday together. Cover our map picks and prepare mentally. I want everyone in tip top shape for a TEAM play Sunday! We'll need to use every secret weapon we have and we'll come out on top. It'll be a blast no matter what! -VegasHo July
24 /2003: LIC Casual Quarterfinal
Results : July
20 /2003: Strafe Jumping!
Yes - it's not just for kids. It's something YOU can do right now to
possibly improve your game. Strafe jumping is a very daunting task to
learn (i know, I'm still trying), however, it basically gives you greater
speed when jumping and greater distances. With the drawspeed command, you
can read your speed number and identify exactly what kind of jump gives
you the best speed and air. A strafe jump basically is jumping while
looking at small left and right angles. Using the technique called circle
jumping you can achieve jumps you've only thought cheaters could
accomplish. The reason is simply because most people give up on learning
it. I think it's worth it. But that's just me. Map:
pro-q3dm6
Task: Jump from Rocket Ledge (above YA) to the rail gun (or back). Map:
pro-q3dm6
Task: Skip over a set of pillars and jump right to the red armor
(or back). Map:
teddm1 (ospdm5)
Task: Jump from RA room ledge to upper path (leading to quad). If
you're ready to learn more and start strafe jumping over amazing distances
- check out this excellent tutorial. http://trickingq3.com/Tutorials/Strafing_Tutorial.html I'll be
practicing this frequently, so if you're interested, join in. July
20 /2003: Casual Team defeats
DFM
again by just +1 round. A very close match, and fun all over again. We
really enjoy playing these guys. They are all real cool guys. Casual takes
first place in their group and will play in the division finals. July 19 /2003: Casual Division has an upsetting match with L4V4 - The drama of it all is exhausting to go over. If you've not been closely listening to ventrilo, IRC channels or other team members, then you're not going to get the scoop. Check out this demo, and then tell me you're not staring wide eyed in disbelief. -SALLY (VegasHo) July 13 /2003: Competitive Division wins against OTH by +4 in first map, and + 1 in second map. Congratulations SS - again - on yet another excellent victory! When WingRdr said SS would now be a force to be reckoned with, I suppose he wasn't joking. SS Members: Demos are available on the FTP site - LIC2 folder. Other matches as well. -SAL July 12 /2003: Competitive Division wins against Xhale by +4 / Casual Division wins against DFM by +1. Congratulations SS on a dual win!
Casual
Division still undefeated in their group. Competitive moves to 2 place. July 12 /2003: We are about to start our third round of games tonight. Although, the casual division already played their match against OTH and whooped some booootay! They even had four (count em, 4) players this time (and a coach). For some reason, the casual div keeps getting up against teams that can't seem to control an area and have no teamwork skills. Match that against the excellent teamwork play by the casual division leaders like Crusader, Killer, Poke, Spidey, Low and yours truly - they don't have a chance! Casual plays DFM this evening. Given prior history of matches played, SS is expected to do their thang and make a stomping. While I expect casual to rule this group, when we are placed against the other groups with teams like DLC and DFA, we'll have to work five times harder for points. No doubt. So keep it up, use these kids as practice for the big boys, keep it cool, and SS will take the Casual Division Gold. Special thanks to Reaper for being an outstanding coach. Couldn't do it without him. Competitive group is either going to win by any number of points and be the grand masters with bragging rights, or they are just going to hang them heads low and watch the tourney go on without them. Tonight is very important when they vs. Xhale. We all know the players we've got stacked for the match, so tighten it up girls and play like you do at practice! Oh - and No Pressure. ;) On another note, I thought Pirates of the Caribbean was 'ok'. I wouldn't give it 5 stars, but I wasn't totally bored either. There was one really funny scene, where they portrayed the famous setting at Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean tour-ride (the prisoners begging the dog to bring the jail key to them). If you've been to it, you can't miss the humor of this one. Hopefully League of Extraordinary Gentlemen will be better... -SAL July 1 /2003: Well our first weekend is over and SS is a force to be reckoned with, our Competitive Group defeated OTH in a convincing style 15-12 and 17-14. On Sunday they were defeated however they will be back in force and well prepared for the next match against DH. The Casual Group kicked some major booty. They defeated OTH in the first match beating them 16-1 and 25-6 (OTH had 3 players). In the second match against LAVA they also came up with two controlling wins, 19-4 and 16-6, their awesome team play and position on the map made for easy wins.....Good Job Guys -WingRdr June 23/2003: Here we go!, LIC 2 is about to begin. The group drawing was last night and we got excellent draws for both our CASUAL and COMP divisions. Here is how it came out. Casual
Competitive
First match is Saturday...we need everyone to show for practices this week in preparation. June 9/2003: As most of you know, we are sponsoring 2 LIC2 servers for the upcoming tourney.

The AZFL is off and running, we had a very close match with Team.Alpha in preseason, and a hefty lose to Night Patrol 49 for league opener. They are an awesome squad and sure to be there for last round in playoff. With them past us, we are now focusing on putting our practices to good use on upcoming opponents. Visit AZFL Website often for updates. I am currently working on new flash splash page for our Clan Website....if anyone has ideas, artwork, logos or other material....please contact me, SS**WingRdr.

Also of note, I have updated the website links, downloads and schedule pages. October 17, 2002 : I am happy to announce the promotion of SS*^Sally to TOP Enlisted. We are fortunate to have the experience and talent, both on and off the battlefield, in our clan. SS*^Sally will be assisting myself and SS**Reaper with Website and clan scheduling, member updates and much more. October 15, 2002 : I know, about damn time! (My bad). We have been so busy last 2 months with IAF Tourney. But we have lots to talk about. First everyone should know Whirlwind, Mudbogger and FlyMouche are no longer with the clan. We wish them well. We are getting ready for the first round of the RAIL-ONLY playoff this coming Sunday. Congrats to the Rail Team. The All Weapons team did a damn good job in the tourney. We saw extreme improvement in the Clan's TEAM SKILL and many members stepped up to the challenge and had career high performances. Although we did not win many matches, our showing was 5 times better than AA tourney. We learned many things in both tourney's and will continue to work to improve our ability to keep the lead and finish on top of the score. We will be electing a replacement TOP this week. I will be announcing the new TOP this Thursday. August 21, 2002 : Dang time flies when your having fun...Lots of new stuff to talk about. First we have had to suspend recruiting until after tourney. Second, congratulate SS*^[Crazy][Wizard], SS*^Whirlwind and SS*^Spike on their promotions to TOP Enlisted members. Everyone should have received several emails today from me on rosters, conduct, recruiting and the promotions. If you did not, I don't have your email addy or it is not correct. So contact me ASAP so I can get it in my list. And last but not least, welcome our new members to the clan. SS*HoneyBunny, SS*IanTBF, SS*Bl4ckM4g1c, SS*Sally, SS*Ice^Bitch. All these members are outstanding editions to our clan, and may be the last new members for some time. Please help all them get oriented and get up to speed in aspects of our clan. If you have not done so, go to the IAF website and review tourney and rules as well as clans and rosters so you know who we will be playing. I have to update our schedule page yet, but the Tourney site has the schedule also so check it out. August 1, 2002 : Welcome SS*Puff-n-Stuff to the clan. Some of you may have heard about the "CHEATING" that we had been accused of at the Yankee Freeze server. As we all know we are EXTREMELY ANTI-CHEAT, and I was shocked to see several of our members listed on the CHEATERS webpage at the Killers Inc. website. I contacted the Admin for the server and together we worked out what the cheat ACTUALLY was. It was caused by a bind that many of us had that looks like this : BIND x say "Thanks got lucky ;-)" The problem is the ; (semicolon). It is used to seperate COMMANDS on the command line, and once encountered, assumes the NEXT item is a command, in this case -) . The new UFreeze has built in ANTI-CHEAT logging, that logs any unrecognized command as a cheat. Obviously this is no cheat. The Admin at Yankee was thankful for pointing out the error and apologized for the misunderstanding, and corrected the CHEATER list on the website. Our members have been instructed to search their personal .CFG files for key binds that use ; for anything OTHER than command stacking, and change it. Also of note the IAF Tourney has posted schedules for the first weekend of the All Weapons Tourney, I have the dates listed on our schedule page. I will be sending the email out August 2, for the vote on the tourney teams we will enter. July 24, 2002 : And we keep growing...Welcome SS*Rhynox to the clan.
