This weeks special on the UK Quake server minos.beyond2000.co.uk will take

place on Saturday rather than Sunday, due to a Clan Minos/Demonic Core

event on Sunday. So, Saturday, Sep 21 at 3pm, Minos hosts a "Quake TI" game

on port 26666. Instructions for "Quake TI" follow. Remember, to connect to

port 26666, you must launch quake with the -udpport option, eg:

q95 -udpport 26666

Once quake has loaded, connect to Minos as usual.

The Quake TI game described is courtesy of the deathmatch pluspack by the

talented W. Harris .

[note: these instructions make more sense if you are aware that TI is "IT"

backwards. As in "you're it!" You see!?]

Quake-TI

--------

'Quake-TI' was suggested by Simon Jago (72046.263@compuserve.com).

It is similar to 'TI' but instead of 'TI' getting three kills for killing

someone, he gets a special 'Quake Power'. The power of the quake power is

in ratio to the number of players in the game:

Damage multiple = number of players in game.

e.g. For 5 players in the game, each shot does 5 times the normal

damage.

If anyone kills 'TI' then he gets three frags. If a non-ti kills

a non-ti, then he just gets the normal one frag.

This results in a very interesting and (hopefully) well balanced

game. For all the players are after 'TI' to get the quake power and the

three frags, so they are not interested in killing each other and only

getting one frags, so they all go around being nice to each other,

planning Quake-TI's demise. When they meet Quake-TI, and someone kills

him,

he immediatly becomes Quake-TI and starts gibbing everyone else.
