| nFa is a mainly based QL CTF Team. Always seeking new talents and open for every practise game. But it wasn't always like that, its goes back, way back... Prequel - The beginning, before it began. It started many, many years ago, when our fearless leader 'RiPSaW' (back then, he was called just 'Shane') was still a young brat trying his "best" to survive his school days. Luckily for him, he had a real good and creative friend who called himself 'Kupcake'. Kupcake was already familiar with online gaming and even played for a clan called Roughneck Warriors (RW) and later on, division 1 tdm clan [PSY]. Kupcake, who was really a nice guy, had the best intentions of making school life as comfortly as possible for his friends. He started fiddling around with school property, and after some time he managed to install Quake II on the School computers and by doing so, unknowingly opened a new world for young Shane Jenkins... This new world of Quake blew Shane away and it got him hooked on it like a shot of heroine to a recovered junky. Kupcake started training Shane giving him all the Quake fixes he needed, feeding his new addiction. Following this drug of Quake II, Shane bought himself a new PC and began playing Quake III Arena online with a 56k Internet Connection… YES BRILLIANT! Chapter 1 - The birth of Never Frag Alone Shane met up and joined forces with one of the old RW members 'MaDDoG', a Freezetag player from Azores Portugal (it’s a fucking tropical island in the sea! :o). It was a perfect match for the mischievous duo, because they were both natural shit talkers :@ Together they founded 'never Frag alone' (*nFa*) on the 1.16n Point Release version, and Shane decided that he needed a cool nick name and he named himself: *nFa*Luver (yea that's right, LUVER!!! xD). They started requiting players, but it was when they rented their own “nFa FreezeTag clan server” that they got some real attention and skilled players started rolling in. Players like: Ne3dle, Honne, Tantum, Arsac aka TheDead, Ecco, Foggy aka Liquid, Skywalker aka LithXIV. They are all still remembered and honoured today and such started the nFa era of fragging and laughter… Chapter 2 - The Rise and Fall With the new nFa clan server the clan skyrocketed! It grew fast in numbers and with it, gained a lot skill of skilled players. Shane who woke up from his romantic day dream, after a period of total noobishness and LMFAO at his nick, became more confident and became *nFa*RiPSaW A name that would fit more for a leader. As the clan gained skill, better players started joining ReVan, SaToR, scud, exodian just to name a few and the total list went on up to about 25 players! The nFa clan stormed the 1.16 FreezeTag community and conquered it's rightful place among the biggest and best clans. This fast climb also had a downside, they had picked players on skill and availability and besides a lot of skill, some also had a cocky, arrogant, annoying, or shit talking attitude. The nFa clan got the reputation of being a “Bad Boy” clan The clan was feared and respected for its skill, but disliked for its attitude, which was mostly caused by our King of ShitTalk MaDDoG. It was only a matter of time that characters started clashing and after having a verbal bash with MaDDoG, it was SaToR who said FU and left the clan taking his companion ReVan with him. Years passed by many UNDEFEATED with RiPSaW and MaDDoG in the lead… After this time the clan was becoming weary at playing and woning the same clans over and over again and RiPSaW decided that it was time for a new challenge. He leaded the bunch of rebels out of their 1.16n cradle and moved nFa to the cold wastelands of the 1.32 point release, But not all members joined this adventure, some never left their home of warm 1.16n community. It was on 1.32 that RiPSaW & MaDDoG met up with old rw players KupCake, Subzero and revived the Roughneck Warriors ' clan again, with the nFA backbone. And it was in this time that the clan decided that it would signed up for their first league games. RiPSaW started requiting new players: [eQ]ShaDoW aka Cheiron, bsk, to prepare for “JOLT Quake III CTF Division 4” The clan was placed alongside clans such as DarkSaga (dRs), not2Serious (n2s), Infinity (!nf), PROST and was first introduced to proper team play. Also most players didn’t even knew the CTF maps, but we were confident. We were skilled and with div1 players SubZero and Kupcake to support us, nothing could go wrong! So we thought… After winning our first 5v5 CTF league game, with 3 DEF (rofl) and 2 div 1 attackers SubZero and KupCake, the league admin disqualified the game and Subzero & Kupcake were thrown out of the division 4 league… Uhm! lol, WTF?!? :O_o Yes, it was considered unfair having 2 div 1 attackers in a div 4 league :’( Now we had to do it ourselves... To make a long story short. We didn’t win the league xD Although the 1st league wasn’t a success, we were headstrong in succeeding and RiPSaW signed up for the next JOLT league, but the name of the once so mighty Roughneck Warriors clan was tainted by a thick ooze of noobishness… Not worthy of the pro RW tag, RiPSaW renamed the clan to Anal Intruders (LOL.com) and signed up for our second league. 2 bad we cant read back the comments made by the JOLT admin huh? :o) Although better then the first league, this 2nd one called hardly be called a success, but the clan was getting better and started playing more serious, but only one stayed behind… MaDDoG MaDDoG who was a mediocore skilled player on 1.16, spent most of his time on the IRC channel, hardly playing the 1.32 release version. When he did though, he was likely to meet a player was a lot better than him and got owned very, very hard. And then the FlameWars, whine and shittalk started. The shittalk was always there, but players were improving with timing items and MaDDoG was a left without any chance and a long way from his old FreezeTag home. Facing this new feeling of raoe, MaDDoG took the shittalk to a new level. And began disrespecting his own members and it didn’t stop at the server. In IRC he was KING and everybody who disagreed got kicked out of the IRC even our own members for no reason. He liked to show who was boss, members got shittalked and flame back, get banned for 5 minutes. Tensions started to build, people really started thing MaDDoG. Not long, bsk left the clan, in the same way SaToR left after a fight with MaDDoG, but he didn’t care. Why would you care about 1 member. Others left, nobody can kick out the clan leader and founder. And soon after exodian left the clan as well after getting fed with MaDDoG when he him out kicked of the IRC channel again, after a discussion. Cheiron left with him. Stressed out by all the conflicts and responsibilities, RiPSaW disappeared from the scene and the clan died... Chapter 3 - Abbadon's Intermezzo A lot of time past, but the nFa legacy wasn’t forgotten. It was abbadon, a polish FT player who stepped up to the plate and united the scattered clanless ex nFa players with the polish quake scene under the Immortal Legion (iL) flag. They were added to a mainly polish force of players e.g. Christof, szefu, scud, and several others. Many picked up their weapons after a long period of being inactive in a dying scene. Abbadon also found [Ox] Leader exodian who was spend his time in the outskirts of 1.16 community in the Q3Demo servers, playing mostly duel. At that same time a clan called oTu, the oldTimers united under the lead of Synth started a oTu Tournament, an open duel tourney to determine who is the best duellers of the 1.16 community. It gave a new purpose to the community and lit up the fire of rivalry between clans the clans again. Players from Ultra Violence, Victory, Old Timer United, Immortal Legion, Ownerz Xtreme all joined to determine the best. After a many hard fights it was iL’Christof who took the gold medal in the final versus oTu kokko. Only a few months after the success of the first out tourney the second tourney was started, to blow life in the slowly dying quake community. This oTu tourney would not be located on the 1.16 servers, but it would be playing on 1.32 OSP. Many good 1.16 players signed up, but it was 3sfmika aka emtsei who met exodian in a best of three grand final. It was a hard fight, but the win went to Mika. GGz. The effort of oTu to bring life were the last compulsions of a dying community. Without active clans and the absense of clanwars the clan missed purpose and with lack of guidance the clan started to fall slowly apart again and ended what could be called Abbadon's intermezzo. All players went their own way and were not seen again… Chapter 4 - Rived from the asses of Q3 Nine years on, and John Carmack took a step into a new experimental territory. [ID]Software took the old battered Quake III Arena, polished it along with aesthetic improvements, touched up every map in there, touched up the model skins, added the quake 3 mods and released "Quake Live". After QuakeLive went from closed to open beta it was like a fresh wind of air that flew through the mostly inactive community. Players that stopped for years, heard to news and decided to take a come around and take a look and like many years before, they found their home again. A new home, an old addiction :-) From what were the ashes of Quake III Arena, QuakeLive was born and with it the old legend RiPSaW returned... He blew the dust of his old Lightning Gun, and decided to take arms again. It didnt take him long to find the strayless players that once formed nFa and united them again under their flag. Now, BACK with more power than ever before! Ripsaw leads nFa with the support of his old m8's into Quakelive for more years of fragging and laughter. Prepare to Lose. |
