GVN PLAYERS

[Forever0]

I played there quite a bit - it was fun for a while.  Great custom map rotation and good players. 

Draconian admins made me quit the place.  They got carried away with some grandiose ideas of "fairness" so I bailed.

"Don't do this, don't do that, this is correct, this is not, you can frag this way, but you are not permitted to frag that way, you might have spammed grenades too much, like playing agains a panel of quake lawyers, blah blah blah . . . bye guys . . ."

I'm sad it died, but I think that it may have been partly suicide.

You got it wrong man...it must be only because you forgot about me. Surely that's the only reason that would make you say such things.

Man that's old...I was playing there a lot before.

It was pretty easy though when you had a good rail.

It's {oBs}Bigwig btw well I was at that time...

That's the server I liked the most...most people playing there where really nice.

I remember

{oBs}Da KB!
{oBs}Anomaly
{oBs}Your Mom
{oBs}Reaper
{oBs}Zilker

Col. Kurtz (who believed and probably still believes that everybody who was able to beat him was cheating.)
Forever0
Foolish

I don't know where you got this from but I never experienced this there. I used to play Quake II at GVN all the time. I can tell you that this will not happen at eriegames. We have no strict rules like this.

The only thing that would bother me is if people get a ton of cheap kills where people don't have any weapon. I try to let people get a weapon before I go after them. If they shoot at me they're fair game.

[Funkey]

Bigwig, there are some players you forgot =) I'm not saying if these people were good or bad...

Linky Linky: (GVN stats from 2002)  http://eriegames.net/gvn/Rank.html

[Ben]

That must have been stats from when I was on internship somewhere as I clearly wasn't playing much at that time. Do you have older stats then these? I think I remember like a stats archive or something on GVN before where some stats from before that were kept.

Anyway yeah I forgot many names. I can't believe it's been that long.

[Funkey]

I don't have stats any older than that. I had this because I knew they were going to close their doors so I made a complete copy of the website. I wanted to be able to have something to remember.. =)

[Ben]

Cool, at least you had this page to remember some names.

I just remembered other stats page from before I was even in oBs...must have been around 2000 or something. With even older names.

Still can't believe I forgot Kneejerk, Railbait, {oBs}Corn, Jek, JimNasium, glockglock and so many others...

i quit playing when i turn 10 so that was 1999-2000 i just started playing again

[salamander]

So who here use to play at games.velocity.net when it was around?

 

Me! Although you won't know me as salamander, I used to live at GVN. In fact I was an admin there for about a year. I remember Captain Canada, Botch, Airiq, glockglock, Col. Kurtz, Pun, the obs clan, Corpus, Hugo, Superdave and of course Tebroc. Was a heck of a server and the last one I played until I found tastyspleen. Very glad to have GVN in back under a new name. Can't wait to play there! I went recently after I heard some talk about it and saw 4u2-Corpus and DirtyDog.
 On another note, Habib is right, toward the end it got a little out of control, but before that it was one of the greatest servers to be on. Thanks for the post!
