To CTF stardom here we come - Fubs - 15/01/2002

Well the leagues have started. BWCTF was postponed, but JoltCTF went ahead on CTF-Dreary. We were palying against W.A.R.S, one of the hardest opponents in the division. First match went badly ending in a 7-0 loss, but with a change of tactics and reoganisation of manpower we pulled a 1-0 win from the second match. Very close match and well fought by both sides.

Next Week is CTF-TerraLE-102 VS [[R1]] for Barrysworld Monday @ 8pm, and CTF-Lucious vs TTF for Jolt. Lets try to keep up the good work.

February FOG lanmeet - Shriike - 12/01/2002

Hi peeps,

There was some discussion recently of setting up a lan meet in February. With the close of TPF (see forum), another option is eXecute's lan centre, in Folkestone. It'd be good to get some idea of who can/wants to go so we can sort this. Please comment to this news post. Also, If anyone knows of another place which is more accessible to everyone, please let me know too.

Whats the best date for peeps, how about Saturday 16th?

Unreal Tournament 2! - Jaruzel - 03/01/2002

If you follow this link, you'll be taken to a news article with some scans out of a french magazine that show shots of UT2. The article is in french but I've copied the english summary below.

Unreal Tournament 2 Article Scans

Summary:

There will be vehicles to drive.
Shooting a rocket through smoke will distort the smoke (sweet!).
Objects going through water sill leave ripples and waves. You'll then be able to see when a player just passed by and the direction he took.
Limited radiosity for dynamic lighting.
Sophisticated skeletal animation. For example, you'll have a different animation when switching weapons depending on the weapon, race and movement the character was doing while switching weapon.
Sophisticated math engine used to animate the environnement and characters. For example, characters wont fall the same way twice (wow!). If a character falls and there are a few ledges under him, he will bounce off each of them in a realistic way.
Special moves that requires energy: speed and berserk (only two mentionned). When a player dies, he leaves a small energy sphere. Pick it up and you gather the energy needed for those special moves.
Other special moves that requires no energy: strafe dodge, double jump and another one that will allow you to stay in the air a fraction of a second more when jumping (allowing you to dodge a rocket, for example).
Six races with 26 models total (+ skins for each): Egyptians, geneticaly enhanced humans (juggernauts), aliens, a race called Nightmare, robots and mercenaries.
About 30 maps ranging from lava worlds, ice worlds, jungles, space station, deserts...
On the single player part: 3 ladders (colonial, world, empire, you will command a team, you will be able to improve the abilities (aiming, agility, tactical) of each member after winning games, you will assigh a role to each member of the team (offense, defence, mobile), you will be able to purchase warriors from a roaster of allstars.
All weapons have been modified, no more razorjack and biorifle. Secondary fire mode will be there.
No more ammo packs, armour and medpacks. Replaced by recharge platforms: one for heath, one for armour and one for weapons. You will be recharged progressively while standing on the platform.
You will respwan with all weapons (except for two special ones) ans packed with ammo.
You wont be able to carry as much ammo.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year - Orsos - 19/12/2001

Hi guys,

Just wanted to mention how FOG has survived yet another year where we have seen quite a few other respected clans fall by the wayside. FOG is still here and I think always will be. Mainly due to the effort put in by the members of FOG. ALL OF FOG. There are certain members who put a great deal of effort in, and you are noticed and recognised, and your effort contributes, in every way to what FOG is now. I personally thank you for all your efforts. It really is fun to be part of FOG. It always has been, and always will be. It's what really differentiates FOG from the clans who don't last.

So well done guys/gals, thankx to everyone, each and all, for your time and patience. And to those who go above and beyond, it is appreciated.

I look forward to next year and more furtive online gaming along with Unreal 2 which I really can't wait for.

But enough of my shite. I'll let your thoughts answer my sentiments by your replies.

Never forget the saying
"You can take a player out of FOG, but you can never take FOG out of the player"

To Channel0 we owe a lot.

Merry Christmas to all and a very Happy New Year.

Orsos

CTF Additions - Fubs - 20/11/2001

Welcome to our new CTF player [FOG]>MrWhite

Passed his trials with flying colors, and can now proudly wear his tag with honor.

UK2.net SUCK!!!!!!!!! - Fubs - 18/11/2001

Damn them for putting banners on our site without asking.
Not only that, but orange and green DO NOT MIX!
Popups suck

We will probably be moving to a new domain shortly.

Not that im in the loop with these things though

TDM Update #2 - [FOG]ExeC - 09/11/2001

In addition to the previous news, I can now mention the fact that RoTTeN has also joined us from clan DFA. Good luck to both RoTTeN & Steel.

FOG TDM Update - [FOG]ExeC - 08/11/2001

Thought I would update everyone on whats happening with the TDM side of things. We are now currently 3rd in Clanbase UK, played 8 won 8, hopefully we can keep up the good work in the CB International ladder which we just joined.

Since the first post in regards to the TDM side being formed we have had 2 new faces join since then, which was Suz & from clan Scum and Steel from clan DFA who joined today infact. [FOG]Trixta aka Dougal makes his return to FOG also as pro ideler and part time CS Player.

As fubar pointed out, we are looking for 1/2 CTF players, if your interested drop me or fubar a message in #foghat.

We are also looking for TDM / CTF friendlys, if you would like to organise one off or regular friendlys youll find me in irc as always.

CTF Match info - Fubs - 30/10/2001

With out new TDM team being regular, I'm beginning to feel that the CTF is lagging behind. I sit andwatch as the TDM team play (and win) several games a night. I have also witnessed a low level of clan commitment from some people (not naming names). From now on I am going to impose two rules on playing matches.

A) If you dont have voice comms installed and working, you will forfeit your place in the team to someone who does.

B) If there are still open spots in the team 15 mins before the match, then i will ask one or two of the TDM guys to play. If you turn up 2 mins before the match you WILL NOT have priority team position over a TDM member.

I would like to remind all the visitors out there that we are still looking for some good reliable CTF players to help fill in the blanks in our team. TDM play TDM, and we play CTF. TDM is full, but CTF still has 2 open spaces if anyone wants to try to fill them.

New Members - eXeC- - 16/10/2001

Just to update you all on whats happening in FOG. I have taken over the TDM side and made a few recruits to the newly formed FoG TDM team. The news players are all british and wont be listed in alphabetical order ;) :- Chance, Cold, ExeC, CreepyD, Ezo & KzSoJ.

Over the next few weeks we will be aranging a number of friendlys, if you would like a match, contact us on our challange page ;).

We RULE !!! - Orsos - 13/10/2001

Clan Updates - Fubar - 06/10/2001

Well im sorry to say that I had to pull us out of the Jolt TDM league. Shrike has left to play TDM for [[TT]], and with his abscence were left with a bunch of people who dont really like TDM. We only have one other real TDM member, but he isnt around enough to validate us being in a TDM league (soz Trin).

Things are looking up a little. Were playing a little more in random pubs, we really need some new members at the moment, and i know several of our members (myself included) are out in the public games, trying to recruit some new blood.

We've had a couple of inactive members become (or soon will be) ctive again, and a general increase in clan activity. Keep it up lads.

The CTF lagues start soon. I think Jolt starts on Monday. Lets all be ready to show them what we are truly capable of. Turn up 30 mins before the match to arrange teams and tactics. Roger Wilco is neccecary, if i could replace all my text binds in the game with useful commands and scripts (like weapon switches) I would be a lot more efficient. If everyone uses voice comms, then this would be easy to do.

Zammx has updated out fixtures page. You should all go have a look to see when our upcoming games are.

Jolt TDM league - Shrike - 28/09/2001

Hello peeps,

I have just recieved details of the Jolt TDM league, which starts on the 2nd October. We have been placed in Division 2, and the league is due to start on the 4th October.

First set of maps will be Deck16(yey!) and Phobos Moon, details are available on the Jolt website

We have some very tough competition in Div2 - the likes of [[VoRTeX]], [[4FS]], {DMG}, in fact there isn't one clan in the division which I don't rate highly. We've gotta get some decent praccy in, but also we can prove how good [[FOG]> can be. Practice sessions are tuesdays with [[TT]] @ 7pm.

Happy fraggin',

Unreal 2 new screenshots - Orsos - 21/09/2001

Updates - Shrike - 17/09/2001

Last Week

Last week's CTF games turned out to be a bit of a headache. Both league games resulted in default wins, so not much to write about there.
A few friendlies got played - the first v [[Ci]]. Some fun games, but a terrible turnout for [[FOG]> players. Thanks to [[HiG]]Tops and [[Ci]]Revenant for filling the [[FOG]> team roster :p
TDM friendly v [[TT]] was cancelled due to player shortage on both sides, the CTF friendly v [[CZ1]] also cancelled due to a [[FOG]> shortage (afaik).
I am not going to be arranging any more friendlies until I see enough clan members around and about.

This week

Tonight is the final game on Barrysworld, the postponed wk1 game on Face. We are up against [[MoC]], who have performed very well (joined the league in wk5, now 4th in div!). Anyway Face is a pants map IMO, I will be playing for laffs, the div is lost to us anyway. Team list in #foghat.
Tomorrow sees the final game of the Jolt CTF season, v [[666]]. Well...[[666]] have been kicking a$$ in the div, this will be a tough game, but the map is Lava Giant, the best UT CTF map around IMO. We are out of the running for promotion, however our performance in this league has been very good - n1 peeps :)

Other things that are happening...Fubs is masterminding the complete overhaul of the website...it should be xlnt when finished. TDM season is imminent...all those wishing to be part of the team need to see me, and show up for some practice.

That _was_ the nine o clock news...erm...that's it :D

To our American counterparts - [FOG]Shrike - 12/09/2001

I would like to express sorrow, on behalf of FOG UK, at the happenings in New York yesterday. This unprecedented attack has clearly shaken the entire world. I hope that none of our friends in FOG US were in any way caught up by this tragedy.

I do realise, however, that every American has been affected by this. To Channel0 and co.: you have our sympathies and regret.

Clan Update - Shrike - 11/09/2001

Hello peeps, quick update on FOG life.

Last night's BWCTF match v [[MnG]] was a default win. That was the last scheduled match of the season, although there are some postponed matches to come. Out of Division 3c [[FOG]> ended up 5/12, which IMO is not good, although perhaps it is better that we remain in the lower division until the team skill picks up.

Also last night we had a friendly v |Destiny|. For those who don't know, |Destiny| is a off-shoot of ~0T~. Well...what can I say... |D| showed us what xlnt teamplay and l337 skillz are all about. Well played lads.

Tonight is Jolt CTF v [[CLAN]]. This is a decisive match for us in Jolt. If we win, we keep our promotion hopes alive. Looking at the results of the past weeks, it looks as if [[CLAN]] and [[FOG]> are on a pretty even keel in terms of skill, but what is that about the mother of all f**k-up's? :)

Also tonight is the first of many TDM practice sessions with [[TT]]. This has been arranged with [[TT]]Crasher, and will hopefully become a regular session for tuesday nights, as a warm up for Jolt and BW's TDM leagues. Stop by #foghat if you want to play.

Other happenings this week. Wednesday sees a CTF friendly v [[Ci]]. They are a great clan, and nice bunch of people. We had a brilliant match with them in Jolt CTF, so wednesdays match should be good. Also on friday we have another CTF friendly v [[Cz1]]. Another great clan, this will also be a good match. All those available and wanting to play should speak to me or Fubs in #foghat.

Happy fragging.

A Call to Arms - The Artist Formerly Known as Fubar - 04/09/2001

I dont know whats going on with some of the members of the clan recently, but attendance has been abysmal, as has our teamplay.

We played a great match today vs C1, winning 3-0 and losing 4-1. In the end their superior teamwork and tactics beat our superior individual skill with only mediocre (but better than none) tactics.

As such im going to start trying to get the team a little more motivated. Regular practise sessions will be arranged. We are aiming for at least one match a night, monday-friday, leaving the weekend open you all to relax and do your own things.

I know we have a rematch vs Cz1 and C1 coming up, and im going to get some games with 12m and Fire5torms clan going. Shrike is also going to schedual a regular TDM friendly with TT to warm up the TDM squad for the upcoming leagues.

Our practise matches are open to all clan members, TDM or CTF, and to freinds of the clan if the opposition will allow them (and any clan who doesnt allow a non-FOG member to make up players in a FRIENDLY is just plain miserable :p ). I would ask that you come to IRC to find out what is going on. Busy busy busy...

I would also like to remind everyone to be proud of our clan, we have a great reputation. When you play wear you tag and be proud (/me looks at shrike and wisey). Too often im being beaten by people who i expect are clanned, but using an alias in public servers.

One last note, we are still recruiting, but only if you have a certain degree of skill. Not everyone who comes to us will get into the clan. I am proud of what we have hear, and I am glad to be a part of it. I want to build it for the future.

CTF update - Shrike - 31/08/2001

Jolt league versus [[TBB]] ended in another loss :( Having started both BW and Jolt on a high, winning quite a few matches on the trot, things have started to slow up a bit. Nevertheless I think we have been impressing the peeps at BW - they had this to say about FOG

"In the biggest clash this week ~˘ząI* were up against [[FOG]> with both clans needing to win to keep their promotional hopes alive, and in a cracking first game ~˘ząI* won 4-1 ..." :D

With a little stronger teamwork we will win against teams this.

Come on FOG :D

CTF tonight - Shrike - 28/08/2001

It's Jolt CTF tonight, and another important match v [[TBB]]. Could everyone available let me know asap in IRC, thanks. Default team (if available) is Shrike, Orsos, Zammx, MasterMind, mic.

Last night's match v [[cz1]] didn't go well at all. They were a good team but we played far below our real skill level. A regular practice session is needed.

CUSTOM MAP - stav - 27/08/2001

Don't forget. Tonight is the Barrysworld CTF league, and we play on a custom map. CTF-NovemberCE-105 (available here )

Matches over the next few weeks - Fubs - 23/08/2001

We've had a great season in both the Barrysworld and Jolt CTF Leagues. As things stand right now, we stand a good chance of promotion in both leagues with only 2/3 weeks worth of games remaining.

Unfortunately our remaining matches are pretty much all against our main competition for the top spot, these matches decide the fate of the final league positions.

We have gotten slack against easier clans, and im beginning to tighten things up a little. I'm getting more friendlies with 12m, and i'm trying to build on our teamwork (seems to be working). I'm asking for that little extra bit of effort over the next few weeks from as many people as possible to secure promotion, or at least a high place in our divisions.

on a side note : I'm having trouble getting the RW dedicated server to work on OkChicken. It was up for a few weeks a while ago, and just as people were getting into using it, it went down and i couldnt get it back up. Could Jar or someone else with access to the server have a look, and see if they can do anything.

FOG website - Shrike - 22/08/2001

Wow! Website is back up after an impressive 3 days of downtime. Jaruzel, Fubs and myself are going to begin the process of shifting the site onto www.unrealtournament.co.uk as soon as possible, which seems to be a more stable server.

We'll keep you posted on the progress, however the DNS name of www.foghat.co.uk should remain the same in any case :)

New fixtures and results system - Shrike - 15/08/2001

Hello peeps,

I've just linked up our new fixtures and results system. The old links on the side bar now link to the new system. It is a shiny dynamic, searchable, database-backed system (oooh :).

Could clan captains and site admins speak to me about administering the system.

Cheers :)

Results - stav - 15/08/2001

Ok, Firstly I would like to say sorry about the lack of match data we actually put up. Shrike, Fubar and Jar are busy working away scripting new php code for the site (they do things the hard way) so we can post the stuff with ease. For now you will have to live with some news.
BARRYWORLD CTF monday 13th August - CTF-Terra-LE102 Vs [[KCF]]
RESULTS 8 - 1 || 6 - 1
Good win for us, keeps us in contention for promotion in BW

JOLT CTF Tuesday 14th August - CTF-OrbitalLE100 Vs [[TH]]
RESULTS DEFAULT WIN (to us)
BT ADSL probs lead to this :( shame even though we may have lost, would have prefared to play, Never mind. We are still in promotion contention here too.

Clan Server - Orsos - 14/08/2001

I've renewed the subscription to our Jolt Clan Server. This will be effective from the 25/8/01 until 25/11/01. So we have our server for another while.

Anybody wishing to help with the costs, it'll be greatly appreciated, no matter how small or big. It's purely voluntary.

I'd like once again to say thanks to those who did send me money for our last 3mth session. No naming or attempts to shame, u know who u are, thanks.

Playing Fields Session in London - Orsos - 10/08/2001

In the interest of building clan relations and generally just getting ppl beering :D and gaming together I suggest we have a Playing Fields session.

The proposed date is the 22nd of September.

Let me know ppl's availability and interest. Would be great fun to meet up with ppl.

All those in LDN are expected to attend. Foreign nationals would be a bonus :)

Book the whole day if you can. You never know, we might actually improve. If a place to crash is an issue, I have a floor that could accomodate one or two ppl.

We have a lot of friends outside the clan who are very welcome to join in.

More the merrier

Back again - Shrike - 05/08/2001

Ello peeps,

I'm back after a nice two week holiday. Hope things have been going well in FOG. It was nice having a break from the game but now I'm ready to get back into it proper, and I'm gonna get a FOG league up and running in the next week or so.

See you on the servers :)

Upcoming games and inactivity - stav - 29/07/2001

[[HiG]] have been dropped from the BW league, however we have been asked to show up for the appointed time. They are unsure whether or not to bring a new clan in at this stage of the league. The map is CTF-Glacier]][[ (visit HERE for the map)

Also Trin has told me, that due to Real Life stuff, he's out of it for a week or so. hopefully no more.

Various CTF thingies - Fubs - 24/07/2001

Its been a good week for CTF this week:

8-0 and 10-0 against R1 in BarrysWorld League
2-2 and 10-1 agains KEA in Jolt CTF

Unfortunately for KEA they had member problems and Lag problems in the game. Apparently one of their members capped, but lagged out at the same time, and MasterMind got a flag return. A little harsh on them, but thats life really.

We also have another new member, ex |A| member FTW has joined, he will be around to play when needed.

Onto less happy matters, for my own health I would ask everyone to please be 30 mins early for matches. That gives me time to sort the team and arrange tactics. I would like to cycle players a little more than what i have been, but with people turning up 2 mins before the match, I am grabbing the first 5 who come along. We also don't have time for proper tactics to be sorted. As the overall skill level of people playing UT increases, its becoming increasingly harder to win matches based on 1/2 baked tactics.

If you want to play in one of our games, then turn up 30 mins early and LET ME KNOW. If you havnt played for a while and would like to, talk to me, I'm not some scary Ogre who is going to bite your hands off or something. I play in almost every match, but I would gladly step back to let someone else play.

Site Statistics - Jaruzel - 21/07/2001

Well... About a week ago, our nice little discreet counter at the bottom of the Sidebar went all large and blue! The people hosting the stats service decided that they wanted to now charge for their counters. :(

So not being one for throwing money away, I decided to have a go and do our own stats system.

If you look at the bottom of the sidebar (sorry low-res people, I am aware that you have problems seeing all of the side, I will be addressing that real soon I promise), you will see a little graph... click on it.

I'm open to suggestions of other info to track, so let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks.

Sorry - stav - 19/07/2001

Sorry about the lack of updates. I have been downloading the latest version of Mandrake Linux for someone so my computer has been idle, and lagging ALOT. SO down to business.

TDM tonight. Last week was Postponed because of computer glitches on the admins part. This makes shrike happy as he gets to play Deck16II and then tomorrow he's on holiday (git).

Monday is a custom map for BW league. Its TerraLE105, NOTE this is NOT the normal Terra map. It is another version. If you dont have it, i did post all links on the news a while back, failing that, head over to the BW CTF league site ( HERE)

Jolt TDM, Thursday - stav - 11/07/2001

8pm is week 5 in the jolt TDM league. We are pitted against a newly merged clan called RIFT. These guys are good, should be a fun match. All details where emailed out. Can fraggers head over to the forums and state their status for the upcoming match please.

Site Upgrade - stav - 09/07/2001

The clan website is slowly undergoing some changes. Fubar, Shrike and Jar are working together to make a more dynamic website. Its a long time coming, however with the UTUK hosting we can use MySQL. This means all members are now responsible for maintaining their details.

Jolt CTF - stav - 06/07/2001

Jolt CTF starts this tuesday (10th july) I shall email those that i have. SexiMF, your email keeps bounching for me so i cant send to you. Game time is 8pm BST, week 1 is CTF-Face VS MPD

Good luck all

Jolt TDM 5/7/01 - Shrike - 05/07/2001

Maps for tonight are Curse and Turbine, against FC with the game starting at 8pm. Two out of the three fixtures so far on Jolt have been default wins :\, so hopefully tonight will be a good 'un :D

Good luck peeps

BarryWorld Postponed - stav - 02/07/2001

The BW match for tonite VS clan HSI has been called off. Due to technical errors at the BW HQ, the servers (or rather 4 out of the 6) were un-availible. All division 1b, 2b and 3b games were called off. Most likely to be played at the end of the season

BW Update - stav - 30/06/2001

Barrysworld have updated the site, the final fixtures are up and we play HSI on monday night, 7pm (BST). The monkeys have been moved out of 3b and into 2a, so looks like no joy in fragging them. However we do still have HiG.
Good luck all and have fun

Jolt TDM - stav - 28/06/2001

Jolt TDM is a no go tonight. We have a default win due to SRz folding. I would like to see more activity though with the members, regaurding matches. We are getting alot of people not showing up, including our 3 new recruits. This is not good.

BW new fragging time - stav - 22/06/2001

Ok, it seems in BW's wisdom we have been moved to Monday nights at 7pm (BST). We get to play our friends 12m and HiG, should be an interesting league then. Can all FOGers please report to the forums and stat availibilty for monday nights.

BarrysWorld : The next generation - stav - 20/06/2001

sorry couldn't resis, anyway BWCTF starts on Sunday 1st July 2001, Our game time is 7:30pm on sunday, week 1 is CTF-Face Vs DMF
you MUST I repeat MUST have the following maps :
ctf-glacier2

ctf-terra-le102
ctf-McSwatzly2
ALSO make sure you have bonus packs 1, 2 and 4. All of you will have packs 1&4 make sure you have pack 2 please

On a Lighter Note - stav - 18/06/2001

Although i did retire as a player. I have decided (with the blessing of everyone) to stay in a caretaker kind of role. Helping out with match organisations and upkeep of the website.

Fuber is currently working on a new "login" system for all members allowing easily updatable pages for their own details. Things are starting to change.

FOGHAT WOOTER are recruiting at the minute, and require both CTF and TDM players. We do accept specialist players (ie CTF ONLY) if your interested please email us, or drop by our Quakenet IRC channel (irc.quakenet.org) #foghat (Or click on the IRC Chat link on the sidebar if you have Mirc installed).

Times : They r a changin..... - Orsos - 07/06/2001

Well it's been an interesting few weeks.

We've gotten a clan server which we have opened up to the public for play. So invitation is out to you guys to get in there an fight. The old days of the FOG server are back. We still stick to the philosophy of playing for fun. So join us on the server or chat to us in #foghat.

On a sadder note. We've had Stav and Drew leave the clan. Both players have put a lot into the clan and have helped make FOG what it is today. Thanks for everything guys. Don't be strangers.

On the upside though, we are still looking for more players. Think you've got what it takes? Come on in and show us if you can hack it!!!

Clan Server Online and Website Changes - Jaruzel - 30/05/2001

As most of you know the clan server is up and running. I was a bit slow on the website changes that were needed once it went live, sorry about that. But as you can no doubt see, we have a funky new Jolt button which kind of matches the rest of the site (Jolt, can we have one in Green and Yellow please?).

There is also a 'Clan Server' link under Community on the sidebar, which will display a live status of the server, from which you can connect directly. I'm not sure how many people actually use the Server Query Tool, but I've set it up anyway.

Lastly, I've expanded the message text input box on the forum, as we tend to be a bit wordy in our posts and the old size was simply too small.

Capture Yon Flag - stav - 28/05/2001

I have emailed you ALL this morning some 12 hours ago (ish) and still no replies via mail, irc or forum. Replies arent nice, Im expecting them back. From now on I intend to make a sucess out of CTF, we have the players, we all have the skill. Just not much teamwork, it has improved... no two ways about that. Please help me make this work.

1v1 Tournament Results - Jaruzel - 23/05/2001

Well, the 1v1 Tournament was a great success. Well done to all those who took part!

We also have a winner! Who? I hear you cry. Not tellin' - you'll just have to follow the link on the sidebar to find out.

There are plans for a proper Clan League in the near future, so stay tuned for details of that.

We're getting there. - Orsos - 16/05/2001

Clan Server is becoming a reality. They'll let us have Q3A and UT. Stay tuned for more information.

Clan Server - Orsos - 15/05/2001

Last night was AWESOME. We have 12 FOGGER's on a CTF server kickin ass and taking names. Made UT fell fun again, and it was great to have all the old FOGGERS, and you young whipper snappers, in action again.

Enjoyed last night so much it spurned me on to order the Jolt server. It's a server accessible by everyone, not just UK, so TAZ and Mic will be cool.
Games

UT
Q3A
Counter Strike
Team Fortress Classic

I'm sure we can throw a UT mod, or replace some of the others with UT mods @ a later stage.

I should have the server details soon. I'll make sure the site is updated with a link to the server.

We still need a comm server though.

Friendly tonite - stav - 13/05/2001

VERY short notice i know, but i have had a request by some members of FOG for a friendly, show up by 8:30(bst) tonite and i'll see what ive got for an opponent and team wise, remember its WP tonite, so may not. Can try tho

Lots o'hits - Jaruzel - 11/05/2001

See that counter on the bottom right hand part of the page, under the sidebar. It says (at time of writing) 15,005 ! It not a made up counter, and it did start at zero about 2 years ago. As Orsos just said, FOG has been around a long time so lets see if we can get ourselves a place in a modern mythology and be the one clan that everyone knows!

FOG Clan Server - Orsos - 11/05/2001

Hi,

Getting sick of having to borrow other ppl's servers and not having a decent presence in the community. We've talked about this before, and nothing has ever came of it, so I'm going to go and get a server from GI for 3 months. It's gonna cost me Ł240 and donations will be welcome. If I get a positive enough response from ppl in terms of donations, I'll continue on the process and once again, FOG will have a server.

I hope to get this sorted within the next few days. If you want to help out, mail me @ Orsos

Keepin FOG alive. We're gettin to be the Grandparents of UT at this stage

Interesting Gaming Article - Orsos - 11/05/2001

Found this over at the register. Interesting read.

Jolt CTF - stav - 06/05/2001

This is the final week in Jolt CTF. It is however a custom map which i have never heard of :( available HERE Our opposition is ~OT~. As normal i wont be there due to RL convictions, so GL people :s

Down to Business - stav - 27/04/2001

RIGHT. I know i started off with the aim of restarting the CTF squad, and have done very little in the way of boosting this with the exception of the new recruits. SO Wednesday nites EVERY WEEK will be practice. I will also try and arrange friendlies for friday nites (i know none of you have any lives so dont lie) I would like to see a little more people online on wednesday nites. I will see you all in IRC about it, so you should all read the site and have no excuse

New Member - stav - 26/04/2001

Yet more players flock to our camp, a new CTF defender by the name of XRush joins this band of merry fraggers, welcome aboard X

1v1 Tournament Details Online - Jaruzel - 23/04/2001

The 1v1 InterFOG tournament is going well. Most of the round one matches have already been played. I've put up a little page with the tournament results on it (also on the sidebar under 'community'), so please check on that regularly to see the progress of your fellow FOGgers.

Good luck to those of you who haven't been knocked out yet, and may the best clan member win!

Also, as has been suggested in the forum there will probably be a more encompassing everyone-plays-everyone tournament in the near future. So if you don't get as far as you'd have liked in this event, you'll soon have another chance to proove your mettle.

New CTF Team Member - Orsos - 21/04/2001

Most of you will recognise the name DZR, and some of you [DZR>Fing.

Well he's no longer DZR. He's FOG and will be joining the CTF Team. Welcome aboard dude.

Some Friday Fun - Orsos - 20/04/2001

Well it's been a short week, but I'm still glad the w/e is here.

Some friday fun. This flash is brilliant. Check it out

FOG - [FOG]Orsos - 19/04/2001

Wow !!!

This clan continues to amaze me. We are still going strong after such a long time with some amazing people. The efforts by Jam, Stav, Wise and others has been phenomenal and key in keeping FOG alive.

I'm still around, not hung up my shock rifle yet. It's still slung on my back, it's just the wastelands I travel now require the pen as opposed to the sword :)

Hopefully I'll be able to get back into the game soon. I think everyone should we DAMN proud of this clan. It is true. FOG is the best and friendliest UT clan out there.

I'm looking forward to participating in this tourney, all though I expect to be Frag bait for the games. I'll see if FOX is interested too.

Also, while you're reading this, make sure you've checked out UNREAL 2 (shift-click to show in new browser). It's your JOB SOLDIER!!!!

|N| on monday nite - stav - 18/04/2001

|N| approached us for a CTF friendly. We agreed and monday night, at 9pm seemed a good time for all. Maps are Dreary (we play it on tuesday for jolt) and they chose lavagiant. I have a server. just remind me about it near the match

Warriors of Sezmar -=- Sunday - stav - 17/04/2001

Arranged but not. If you understand what I mean. Email was sent out to all FOG'ers who I know (or have the email address of). Please add the feedback in the forums under the appropriate thread.

Ok lots has been going on in the world of FOG - Wiseguy - 17/04/2001

Everyone may not be aware but Dominator has left the FOG fold to become Co-Leader of {sAs} so good luck to him in what he wants to pursue.

Also just a quick note about etiquette when we are playing games, lets be nice to each other, maybe even compliment each other as we have a time and a place for making our feelings known be them good or bad about something that happens in a game, be it we win and are so elated that we make a post in the forum to brag about our victory (is this appropriate) or even to the point at congratulating the person that beats you (rather than blame on a laggy server) everyone knows where our abilities lie. So lets just be nice to each other and keep FOG the happy clan that it was and will always be. If anyone is upset annoyed with anything you can always talk to me about inter clan stuff, as we have to keep things happy..

Wisey

Jolt CTF - stav - 10/04/2001

As im pretty sure I informed you in an email, or atleast the topic in IRC. Jolt CTF is a schedualed default game to us. I do not have any games lined up. I still do not have UT installed, found my case but no CD. f*ck :(
On a lighter note though, all off Foghat have chipped in to get Wiseguy some english lessons to improve on his news posts.

TDM - Wiseguy - 09/04/2001

Ok we have a TDM match V EM on thursday , can all available players please reply to my post in the forum. As for TDM in general we are improving as a squad , our teamwork is getting better and with the addition of Grave we should be a little stronger.as a squad i feel we dont have enough depth . So if you see anyone exceptional on the servers see what you think and talk it over with me , we need some strong players .

CTF cancelled AGAIN - stav - 09/04/2001

seems BW STILL havent totally ironed out all the bugs in the servers so head admin set this topic in the channel;
[i>Topic is 'Sorry folks. Tonights and tomorrows matches are POSTPONED. All pld and playing matches will stand - ALL UNPLAYED GAMES WILL BE PP'd'[/i>
So please still turn up, i will try to get a server and both TDM and CTF can have a frag around, you can never have enough server time :)

BW CTF - stav - 06/04/2001

Right, lets all see if BW can manage it this coming monday. 9:30pm is our time slot, we play SRz. The team is not sorted yet, but i have a pretty good idea who is in so far.
Lets just keep our fingers crossed that BW have sorted their CHSP problems out

Tuesday's Night's Matches - Jam_Sarnie - 04/04/2001

Well played to the Team Deathmatch team for the victory in the 4v4 last night. We are going from strength to strength in terms of tactical play and team play. Good Game all involved.

The CTF team also won last night, albeit by default. However, exciting times seem to be ahead, with the depth and quality of the CTF squad bolstered by the recent arrival of Fubs and Zammx. Welcome aboard guys!

We also have DoM on trial with us at the moment. Good luck DoM.

Final note to all Foggers, please visit the site more regularly and make use of the forums, it should be the central source of FOG information, but it isn't. C'mon people, it doesn't take much to post a message.

Practice - stav - 04/04/2001

Wednesday nites, 9pm I will try and get a server. Also tonite TDM have a match at 11pm (I think) so I will try to get a server for 2 hours 9-10 will be CTF 10-11 will be TDM

Quake 3 Arena Oddity - Jaruzel - 02/04/2001

I've been playing a lot of Quake 3 Arena lately, I do actually prefer it over Unreal Tournament - it's much easier to just jump in and frag someone without all this teamplay arrangement hassle.

Anyway, I've started collecting Custom Maps for Q3A to test out my MapViewer/Launcher application I'm writing, and what should I find on a website ? A map called 'Turbine Arena' thats what. A faithful conversion of Unreal Tournaments' DM-Turbine map. Have a look at this screenshot of it. It looks really nice. It also plays a hell of a lot better than the original ;-)

Happy Fragging.

BWCTF CANCELLED - stav - 02/04/2001

BW have for the t3rd time running cancelled their CTF league due to CHSP problems. I will keep you all informed as soon as i hear anything

Barrysworld CTF - stav - 30/03/2001

This monday see's the first week of the new Barrysworld season, 2 weeks after its proposed starting date. CSHP is going to be downgraded to 4B for the time being. They realise that
there could be cheats out there which work on version 4B, but they can't afford to run the "beta" versions which could cause chaos.
Our first match is on Monday April 2nd at 9:30pm.

New Unreal II Preview - Jaruzel - 15/03/2001

There is a brief preview of Unreal II at ZDNet. The preview explains the basic plotline for the Single Person Shooter part of the game and describes the enemies your are likely to encounter, along with a few interesting screenshots.

The unreal engine is something that Epic are continually developing, recently they released a movie (called a Technology Demo) of all the new features they've added to it, such as Skeletal Animation and Open Terrain Maps. Its definately worth a look if you haven't already seen it.

Busy Times ahead - Wiseguy - 14/03/2001

Well 1st I wanna say top marks to Jaruzel for letting us all post our own news Cheers.

Over the next few weeks we are gonna be manic on the League front with so many starting up at the same time we have :-
CTF - Barrysworld(Monday) and Jolt(Tuseday)
TDM - 4v4(Tuesday) and Sur-5-or(Thursday)

So its gonna be all hands to the pumps. I think its gonna feel like we are playing Ironman football but hey thats life, so we need everyone who wants to play to show for practice as much as they can.
For TDM practice will be all the time but Wednesdays will be the main day for team selection and Strategy so all TDM playes MUST !!!! show
anyways enough of my ranting.

An amazing leap forward - [FOG]Orsos - 13/03/2001

I've been so excited about this for a long time now. Brilliant work Jaruzel.

We had a practice game against Raven last night. Was an excellent session of Face, although it's wasnt' much fun losing. Highlighted some areas FOG need to improve. Was a great help. Thx guys. Maybe next time.

That's most likely a very big maybe.

This is SOOOOO Cooooollll.

Unless u can't tell. I'm very excited about this.

Dynamic News System Online! (Finally) - Jaruzel - 13/03/2001

I have finally got around to installing the new dynamic news system for this site. What that means in laymans terms is that the web admins (usually Myself, Orsos, Crypto, Eag1E) no longer have use FTP to update the news page. There is now a nifty little link called Post News in the top right hand corner of this page (betcha didn't even notice it!).

Using this link we can now add news items to our hearts content, where-ever we are. Yes, I know that other clan sites have had this for ages, but Foghat Wooter like to do things the hard way, and this system is totally home-grown, you won't see stolen scripts on this site, no sirree!

Clan members please note, the password for posting news is the same one as for the Tactics section. Please mind your P&Qs when adding news, and feel free to post what you like, providing it is on topic, and non-offensive.

The secret to a busy site, is regular news updates!
