SHARPKNUX: Okay, well, I just thought that I might as well post how things went, since I'm probably the only one still awake :)
Well, at first, a few of us were at the TC Dedicated server, and Booms server, going back and forth.. It was SLAM, Lucky, B-Ball, and me, that I can remember. I think other people came in and stayed for a bit. Eventually, the real reunion got started!
After going between servers, Custer finally got the NerfArena.com server up on NN-Evening, we started to have the real fun! First we started out with Lucky, Custer, Matrix, IceDude, B-Ball, Justin, and me. Icedude, Matrix, and Justin were heh.. Having some fun with the Luna's at the bar ;) while the rest of us tried to decide what we were going to do. We couldn't really decide, allthough it seemed that most of us wanted to play the game "Assassin" where there is an assassin whom is trying to kill an important person. Later on, the bad stuff happened..
Angry with jealousy, Boom stormed in, logged in as the admin, and started kicking everybody. He said he was mad because we were on Custers server, and not his. Wah wah wah.. Lucky tried to talk Boom down, but hey, you cant talk to idiotic fags, unfortunately. After kicking us all.. Several times.. Custer got back and reluctantly kicked Boom and changed the password! Yay! Go Custer! We started having fun, and then Boom came back, and got mad at us but Lucky then continued to try to talk him down, but Boom ignored him and said we were all ignoring him. Eventually, Boom left.
After that, it was all good! We started to have fun in the Tycoon area, with me and B-Ball patroling the streets like mad traffic cops without their donuts! But it was fun! Then later on, some other people came in, such as Ace, SquirrelKing, and BLades. Then eventually Matrix's dad came in, and while Matrix tried to give him a grand tour of NN, they kept getting interrupted by.. Tourist haters, perhaps? Hehe.. But anyway, we all had great fun! After several minutes of good-byes, the server was shut down, for us all to leave.
It was a very fun time! I wish you had all been there! I just hope we have another one of these :) |

CUSTER: Well I really don't know what happened on other servers; I'd set my alarm for 1:55am, and it was around 2:02 by the time I got www.NerfArena.com up and running (GMT - 9:02pm EST) after starting the computer, getting online, starting NAB, and waiting for it to go to "set up server" mode. Sharpknux lists most of the people who dropped by; SquirrelKing told us that the Elves are now busy owning over on Diablo II, but it was nice of him to grace us with his company for a while. Harpo dropped by, and Tiggy, and Tux; Tmon never managed to join our server, as far as I could see, which was a shame - two father/son teams at once would have been cool! SLAM had made what in retrospect seems a mistake in having all the special servers use the same adminlogin password, so that Boom knew how to take control of my server; I did eventually have to kick him and change the password, because he kept on kicking just about everyone else. He came back with added "special characters" in his name so that he couldn't be kicked again.
I assume other servers were running too; www.NerfArena.com was always just about full, and in fact I increased it from its usual 8 to 9 players capacity. Ping was, um, not too hot, and towards the end my computer was really chugging for me, so that while I may have had the home advantage of Zero Ping, I found it almost impossible to turn and aim. At about 03:45am the computer really started to play up, with a view of one place flashing up, replaced by a view of a different place, and so on, so I had reluctantly to say goodnight to everyone, and close the server. Not that the server wanted to close - I had to use [ctrl] + [alt] + [del] in the end to close the program. Kind of it to actually allow me to say goodnight, rather than freezing solid, and to end the program without having to use the "power off" button, I guess...
A pity we never seemed to actually play "Assassin", but it was great to see so many people back in action, even if SLAM seemed to be abducted early on - some people even re-installed NAB specially, I hope they have room to keep it on their drives! Next time, maybe an earlier start, such as 6:00pm EST, 11:00pm GMT (or even 3:00pm/8:00pm? ) would encourage other people - be great to have a brand-new SLAM map debut that day...especially if it had a working "CTF" element! Maybe Policer_O could be persuaded to give the TC Dedicated Server extra bandwidth for such an occasion, with a 16-player team server, or something like that? |

B-BALL: Yeah...it was GREAT! So many people were there. I set my alarm at 2.45 am. (9.00 PM EST is 3.00 am for me here in Germany) I started my pc, NAB and I went into the TC Dedicated server. I played there for 10 min. because then everybody ran out for any other server. First I wanted to try Booms gravity server. It was fun there. A real deathmatch server but after ca. 15 min. just Boom, Curt and me were still there. I asked myself what the people in the www.NerfArena.com server are doing. I couldn't enter the server because 8 of 8 people were in it. So, the server was full. But suddenly after 5 times refreshing my NAB Multiplayer-server list 1 place was empty...I fast joined the server before it was full again. Yeah..and it was nice in the www.NerfArena.com server. Ok, it wasn't a real deathmatch server, a lot of peoples talked about something, but after a while everybody was playing. The most time I made the streets in the Skyscraper section clean with Sharpknux (Hey Sharp, it was cool, eeh..? ). It was just fun to play with so many and popular players in one server again. Of course we should continue making NAB partys every second week. And if Custer want to have them earlier, no problem but I can play at 3.00 am. And if we make those partys earlier please only until 3 hours earlier because the earliest time I can play would be 0.01 am German time (the night from Saturday to Sunday). It's 6.00 PM EST time. So, the earliest date for the beginn let please be 6.00 PM EST....Thanks. |

ICEDUDE: i was not "having fun" with the lunas, i was flying sidewinder disc around the dome restaurant part of the luna area, or in the skyscraper area, remember? |
