I'm creating a Web page about the most important things in Quake

Deathmatch - the players. So if you frequently play quake on the UK

Servers, I'd appreciate it if you could give me some information on

the deathmatch games you play.

.

Which server(s) do you use most often ?

What is your name in Quake ?

Which players do you enjoy playing against ?

Which players do you respect, or even fear ?

Who is the best player you've played against ?

Who are the worst players you've played against ?

Which players send 'funny' messages ?

Which players ignore your messages ?

Who are the campers ? - 'Out' them !

Who are those 'colour' changers ?

Who are those who do not obey team rules ?

Which players always have low ping time ?

As well as this, if you can be bothered, tell me what you think the

players you play against most often - just a general impression of

them.

I'd also be glad to receive any other stories/gossip/scandal (did you

catch The_Warlord and Big_Bill in a compromising position in the

Rocket Room ?)

Please don't try to vote for yourself - only those players who are

mentioned by a few others will get mentioned.

After I've compiled all the info, I'll advertise the page and you can

see who is regarded as the UK's number 1 on each server and what other

UK Quake players think of you.

I plan this to be an ongoing set of pages, where people can update me

as Quake progresses and new people arrive/exiting players get better.

Preferably, I'd like you to email all your info to

quake@dial.pipex.com, but if that's not possible, just reply to this

thread and I'll monitor it. [ Mod. note: followups set to email. Do

not reply to rgcq.announce ]

Thanks for your time.

P.S. As I've stated, I've started this out as a UK-only players page.

If it takes off, I'll expand it to Europe, the rest of the World and

the Solar System; though I think the Martians will have an advantage,

them having an extra arm to control the game with.

Megalomaniac, not me !!!
