DOM Website (re)Launched

I finally finished the tedious job of going through all the old matches and renaming/organizing them, as well as the other pages that were part of the DOM websites over the years. I have compiled them together and uploaded them to a website. It's far from done, but I have the majority of it up. So check it out.

The DOMsquad Clan Website

I will be switching all static DOM-related information to that site and using this blog for opinions and comments and other more blog-like things. I plan to use this blog as a precursor for any future DP or DOM memoirs that I get around to writing. So I hope to keep regularly updating this blog with my reminiscences of DOM.

Random Moments in #domsquad (volume 5)

Some conversation between our Detroit half of the clan. One of the strange things about a clan founded by two people from Chicagoland is that the majority of the guild would be made up by Detroitlanders. Ironically, later when I was in a WoW raiding guild, there were also a number of Detroit-area members too. They seem to be attracted to me! It was cool though. Our one great folly was that we never organized and had a DOMCON - seeing as how 90% of the clan was within 300 miles of each other. Out of our main members, vj was from Texas, near San Antonio if I remember, while Adren was out in Cali, near Sacramento I believe.

Update

Unless another old hard drive turns up somewhere, I have completed the scanning and recovering phase. Now I just have to finish identification and renaming phase - the much, MUCH, longer and tedious phase.

All in total, I have scanned 520 GB of hard drive and found and recovered about 500,000 files totaling almost 300 GB. Much is just program files or temporary internet files and can be deleted right away. But it takes a lot of time to go through and determine what is worthless and what needs to be saved.

MP3's which have full tagging can be automated to rename them, but at least half of them are not or have incomplete tagging. The only way to go through all that is to listen to them. And if it's something I am not familiar with, I will be unable to do anything with them. This amounts to some 5000+ untagged MP3's that I have to go through. Needless to say this will be a never-ending project.

Text files present a different challenge. I can parse through text files for a specific search string, like "domsquad", very easily. The trouble is that certain strings turn up thousands of false positives. So the challenge is to find the right strings to search for. Failing that, I have to manually read the matched files and determine which are legit and which are garbage. I should note that when I mean false positive, I mean that the match is positive, but it's not relevant to what I am looking for. For example, searching for "vj" will likely turn up a ton of matches, but 99% of them are not what I want - namely anything dealing with the DOM member named vj.

There are a lot of duplicates, so the total of unique files may be far smaller. It takes a while to figure out what are repeats and eliminate them. So, for example, the last 120 GB hard drive that I scanned, and have yet to parse, may have almost nothing on there that I already haven't recovered elsewhere. But I have to look anyway because there may be a few gems hidden somewhere in there.

So that was just a recap of what I went through and the totals I ended up with so I can remember later on. I've learned a lot during the process too. If I were to do it over again, I'd be more organized and efficient from the start. At the end of the day, though (or summer or year in this case), it will be worth it when everything is all recovered, renamed, and it its rightful spot.

Oldest Surviving Match Screenshot

This is a preview of what is to come. I have around 170 screenshots of DP matches, plus some ones from TFC. I have identified 99% of these screenshots and found the results of the matches they belonged to. I do not have dates for most of them, but I do know the order in which they were played. Anyway, I am working on releasing a seperate webpage with the entire DOM match history, along with screenshots, as detailed and accurate as I can manage. That way you can browse at your own leisure and look at and compare matches more easily than if I just posted them individually here. Expect that in another week maybe.

In the meanwhile, here is the oldest screenshot that I have found, dating back to June 28, 1999 against the Paint Assassins in an original DPL (Digital Paintball League) match. DOM won rather convincingly, as this screenshot proves. Also of interest - notice which clan Fury is playing for at that time.

Random Moments in #domsquad (volume 4)

Xconvict was my friend Brandon, btw. He never really played DP but for a few times. I think he was semi-serious about TFC, which is the time frame of this conversation, but I don't recall him being active. He did help us create the DOM rap, which I would absolutely LOVE to find, but I haven't yet and I doubt it will ever turn up. Also, Adren seemed to have a drug problem or something back then...

weather where its like, brandon get everyone out and we will play basketball till dark
[XCoNvicT] I wanna dominate in sports when I get there
[RoyaLBlooD] in the old hood
[XCoNvicT] awesome
[XCoNvicT] well tell em to keep it up

[XCoNvicT] heh
[XCoNvicT] well...
[XCoNvicT] anyways
[XCoNvicT] cools, I'lll go
[RoyaLBlooD] anyway, since they are from chicago, their last concerts are here of course
[RoyaLBlooD] they are gunna play the Metro for their very last show, as a homage to what got them started
[XCoNvicT] have you seen FIFA for PS2
[RoyaLBlooD] no
[RoyaLBlooD] Dec 2nd
[XCoNvicT] it is awesome
[XCoNvicT] ok
[XCoNvicT] I'll go
[RoyaLBlooD] if i cant get tickets for that, they are playing the UC Nov 29th
[XCoNvicT] ok
[RoyaLBlooD] id rather see them at the Metro.. smaller, more fun, very last show
[XCoNvicT] you make things so compliacted'
[XCoNvicT] complicated
[RoyaLBlooD] well Metro is usually for unsigned bands
[XCoNvicT] oh
[RoyaLBlooD] only holds 1,100, so tickets will go very fast
[RoyaLBlooD] so theres a good chance i might not get them
[XCoNvicT] damn thas like a highschool gym
[XCoNvicT] gay you hear me....
[XCoNvicT] gay
[RoyaLBlooD] not exactly slipknot, but itll do
[XCoNvicT] ok well....I wanna play baseball, football, basketball, and ....
[XCoNvicT] soccer
[XCoNvicT] dominate em all
[RoyaLBlooD] today would own for soccer
[XCoNvicT] people say the XBox is more powerful than PS2
[RoyaLBlooD] probably is
[XCoNvicT] when it truth, PS2 is morw powerful
[XCoNvicT] look....
[XCoNvicT] XBOX is made up of PC coponents
[XCoNvicT] about what a highens PC is today
[XCoNvicT] PS2 could go beyoind that
[RoyaLBlooD] that would be a hell of a lot more powerfull than PS2 then
[XCoNvicT] no
[XCoNvicT] PS2 is made to throw a shit load of polygons with all kinds of effects
[RoyaLBlooD] so would Xbox
[XCoNvicT] you cant just look at the mhz numbers
[RoyaLBlooD] cuz its a game system, not a PC
[XCoNvicT] yah but it has a OS
[XCoNvicT] cut down, but it has one
[RoyaLBlooD] every console has an OS
[XCoNvicT] which is more complicated than the PS2

[RoyaLBlooD] oh here is whats up with PS2's anti-aliasing
[XCoNvicT] ok....
[RoyaLBlooD] its there, just when its used it slows down the framerate terribly so most developers dont use it
[XCoNvicT] it's harder to tap into
[XCoNvicT] no...
[XCoNvicT] thas just the conventional way
[XCoNvicT] its many types of anti-aliasing
[RoyaLBlooD] yah
[RoyaLBlooD] most developers dont use them though cuz they slow down the game
[XCoNvicT] its different ways to do it so that it doesn't take a major performance hit
[RoyaLBlooD] they have been doing other nonconventional methods
[XCoNvicT] right
[RoyaLBlooD] but ultimately not as effective
[XCoNvicT] thas what you have to do
[RoyaLBlooD] software wise, not hardware wise
[XCoNvicT] look at madden
[XCoNvicT] full screen anti-aliasing
[XCoNvicT] with little to no performance hit
[XCoNvicT] ]and its beautiful
[XCoNvicT] fifa
[XCoNvicT] NHL
[XCoNvicT] SSX
[RoyaLBlooD] EA is one of the top developers of all time
[XCoNvicT] all run 60 fps
[XCoNvicT] and run fast
[XCoNvicT] I know they are
[RoyaLBlooD] but in general, the anti-aliasing is lacking
[XCoNvicT] that shows that its fully capable
[XCoNvicT] not lacking
[RoyaLBlooD] graphics look better than N64, sure... they should be
[XCoNvicT] just have to take the extra time
[RoyaLBlooD] but what im saying is, its lacking
[XCoNvicT] the development cycle will be longer
[RoyaLBlooD] so when gamecube and xbox come out, you will notice it
[XCoNvicT] ]oh I bet
[RoyaLBlooD] unless then remake the PS2, it will always be lacking
[RoyaLBlooD] cuz its the hardware thats messed up
[RoyaLBlooD] not the software
[XCoNvicT] but they won't be as patient as with Sony because
[XCoNvicT] sony will sell a hell of alot morw systems
[RoyaLBlooD] anyway i was looking at Xbox specs and it does look pretty powerfull
[XCoNvicT] it is
[XCoNvicT] but you have to look at the gigaflops caculatiions
[RoyaLBlooD] but it doesnt matter if the system sells a lot of games only sell moderately
[RoyaLBlooD] developers dont make money off systems sold
[RoyaLBlooD] so far in japan its that way
[RoyaLBlooD] game sales are low
[XCoNvicT] but they have a more consumer base
[RoyaLBlooD] not really
[XCoNvicT] which wou;d sale more games
[RoyaLBlooD] its an illusional base
[XCoNvicT] ?
[RoyaLBlooD] cuz half the base is for DVD movies, not games
[XCoNvicT] no....why would you spend 300 bucks just for DVD
[XCoNvicT] remember
[RoyaLBlooD] its dvd and a game system
[RoyaLBlooD] thats a good deal
[XCoNvicT] for you to be interested, you have thinks games first
[RoyaLBlooD] someone who very rarely plays games but does every once in a while and needs a Dvd will get it
[XCoNvicT] cuz its not that widely advertised as DVD player first
[XCoNvicT] for you to find out about PS2 you have to like games
[RoyaLBlooD] not at all
[RoyaLBlooD] everyone who is alove knows about the PS2, heh
[RoyaLBlooD] err, alive
[XCoNvicT] then its a bonus for you to have a DVD
[RoyaLBlooD] its not a game system its a multimedia system
[XCoNvicT] yah
[XCoNvicT] ok
[RoyaLBlooD] sony is hopeing its the next tv, every house will have one
[XCoNvicT] I know
[RoyaLBlooD] but games... so far arent selling near what they expected
[XCoNvicT] in japan
[XCoNvicT] thas always the case
[RoyaLBlooD] no...
[XCoNvicT] yep
[RoyaLBlooD] usually japan has higher sales
[XCoNvicT] look at all the other system in recent history
[XCoNvicT] Dreamcast
[XCoNvicT] playstation
[RoyaLBlooD] vid games are more common and have been for a long time in japan
[XCoNvicT] N64
[XCoNvicT] yah
[XCoNvicT] but the games don't really jump off until it hits stateside
[XCoNvicT] japan is real skeptical
[RoyaLBlooD] uh, no
[XCoNvicT] so when the system warms up and makes better games, then they buy
[XCoNvicT] yep
[RoyaLBlooD] sega and nintendo have always sold better in japan than in US
[XCoNvicT] not at first Im sayin
[RoyaLBlooD] yah at firts
[RoyaLBlooD] first
[XCoNvicT] no
[XCoNvicT] go back and look
[RoyaLBlooD] yah i know this stuff more than i would know the current stuff dude
[XCoNvicT] they all had terrible launches in Japan
[RoyaLBlooD] lol...
[XCoNvicT] ...right away

Random Moments in #paintball (volume 3)

So I think I was in the middle of some conversation about typical match and clan sizes in DP at the time. Most clans were very small and constantly changed. Most of these clans played 2v2 and claimed them as legit matches (DOM did too, but only because everyone else did - but we didn't do that many and we tried very hard to only match 3-3 or higher.) I even noticed 1v1 matches being counted in clan win totals. So the comment I was making was probably about how these spur-of-the-moment, 3-person clans who match 2v2 and 1v1 aren't real clans nor real matches. They certainly don't compare to clans who regularly match 4v4. Playing in a small map 2v2 requires almost no skill or teamwork on your part - it ends up being mostly luck or who has the least lag. But playing 4v4 or more on a larger map requires actual teamwork on each clans part. This was a typical point of contention between DOM and the majority of DP during those days.

Jballz Dominating Sandtrap

Here are some screenshots of Jballz dominating a DP session on the map Sandtrap. This map was a DP favorite because of it's small size and simple layout, which allowed for high kill totals, even by those who aren't any good. To get a high kill score while having very low deaths, as Jballz demonstrated here, takes skill.

I am also going to act as commentator on these screenshots and pretend that I know what is happening. At the very least, it will make the post more interesting.

We see Jballz get's off to a quick start, scoring 11 kills to 0 deaths within the first three minutes. His team is up 6-0 as well, no doubt, carried almost entirely by him. Given the score, and the fact that Jballz had 1 grab, it has likely been 4 rounds completed so far. Rounds complete fast in Sandtrap. Note that Sharon from clan XP is on the other team and represents Jballz main competition.

Jballz continues to dominate and lead his team, now up 13-4. The other team even has more players to try to balance the skill between the two teams, but it doesn't seem to be working. The only affect has been to pad Jballz kill total. Note that Sharon from XP isn't playing too well.

Now I am not sure what the original intention of this screenshot was. But I can guess. I imagine it was to show Sharon from XP quitting not even half way through the map because of poor play. Sharon was supposedly a great player, but really only seemed to put up high kill totals against newbs on small maps like this one. The fact that he or she was so thoroughly destroyed against a legitimately skilled player that it made him or her quit so quickly was maybe amusing to mr. Jballz. Just a guess.

And naturally, we conclude with the final score. Jballz is head and shoulders above everyone else with an impressive personal score of 75-15, which is an 83.3% efficiency rating or 5-1 kill/death ratio. Given the apparent team size, that means that for every round, Jballz pretty much took out the entire opposing team himself. For whatever reason he is on the red team now instead of the blue team which he was on in the other three screenshots. Maybe he was trying to help even the teams and make red come back. Given how lop-sided the score is though, he must have did this very late and not had a chance.

Overall nice performance by Jballz. Granted it seems most of these players were chumps, but for at least the first nine minutes, there was at least one, supposedly, good player in Sharon on the opposing team, thus it should have been even. But it wasn't and Jballz dominated. Not surprising since this is what DOM did in those days. Nice to still have documentation to prove that these days. Hope I can find more.

Random Moments in #domsquad (volume 3)

Interesting thing about this excerpt is that it includes a statement about opening the log file at both date and time - the first I have noticed of any specific mentions of a date. The date, which I bolded in the text, is given as Oct 20, 2000. This was during our TFC days.

[XCoNvicT] yep
[XCoNvicT] what kind of beatz you makin
[RoyaLBlooD] something phat and psycho
[XCoNvicT] "phat" ?
[XCoNvicT] too broad
[XCoNvicT] let me ask you....
[XCoNvicT] what are you doin right now
[RoyaLBlooD] talking to you
[RoyaLBlooD] waiting for ppl to get situated and come over
[XCoNvicT] it seems like a great deal of lag from me talkin and you talkin
[XCoNvicT] whos comin over
[RoyaLBlooD] not sure
[XCoNvicT] what occasion
[RoyaLBlooD] mark, joel, mike for sure
[RoyaLBlooD] maybe Paul and ruth
[XCoNvicT] lol
[RoyaLBlooD] maybe the rest of Mikes band
[RoyaLBlooD] thats probably it at the most
[XCoNvicT] you went out with ruth.....
[XCoNvicT] lol
[XCoNvicT] damn this cookie is gummy
[XCoNvicT] too many chews'
[RoyaLBlooD] i hope you got NHL 2001, cuz im gunna totally dominate
[XCoNvicT] for the ps2 I am
[RoyaLBlooD] its godly
[RoyaLBlooD] you can even make your own graphics for created players
[RoyaLBlooD] so you could try to make your own face
[XCoNvicT] Madden, SSX, Timesplitters, and Star Wars Starfighter
[XCoNvicT] well for PS2 also
[XCoNvicT] you just need digi cam
[RoyaLBlooD] we'll see, PS2 is looking like it might be a big dissapointment from a gaming perspective
[XCoNvicT] I'll have at least 10 games for PS2 by the year end
[XCoNvicT] well, I don't see how
[XCoNvicT] PS2 only has the best launch in history
[XCoNvicT] 28 games
[XCoNvicT] and about 10 of them are really good
[RoyaLBlooD] but the games sold like shit actually
[RoyaLBlooD] in japan that is
[RoyaLBlooD] system sold good, games sold terrible
[XCoNvicT] well thas Japan
[XCoNvicT] so did Dreamcast games
[RoyaLBlooD] PS2 will be successfull no doubt
[XCoNvicT] and N64 sold horribly over at first
[RoyaLBlooD] but more cuz of its DVD capabilties
[XCoNvicT] yah, but you have Madden which looks gorgeous
[XCoNvicT] SSX which is the best snowboarding game of all-time
[RoyaLBlooD] for now, yah
[XCoNvicT] and tony hawk, gran turismo
[XCoNvicT] medalgear
[RoyaLBlooD] thats over a year away
[XCoNvicT] so....
[RoyaLBlooD] year without delays, which you know it will have a lot of delays
[XCoNvicT] its awesome
[XCoNvicT] nah
[RoyaLBlooD] i wouldnt doubt it if it takes 2 years
[XCoNvicT] it'll be out fall- 2001
[RoyaLBlooD] cuz the PS2 is a bitch to develop for
[XCoNvicT] it's already playable
[XCoNvicT] that it is...
[XCoNvicT] but....
[RoyaLBlooD] and since gamecube would be coming out around when MGS2 comes out, they would want to make sure MGS2 is at its bst
[RoyaLBlooD] so itll get delayed to make sure its awesome
[XCoNvicT] people will find actually how powerful it is
[RoyaLBlooD] its not really all that powerfull though
[XCoNvicT] gamcube....
[XCoNvicT] garbage
[RoyaLBlooD] some parts of N64 are more powerfull than PS2
[XCoNvicT] I like Xbox and PS2
[XCoNvicT] no....
[RoyaLBlooD] N64 anti-aliasing engine is a lot better than PS2
[XCoNvicT] no it's not...
[RoyaLBlooD] so PS2 graphics suffer a lot of zig-zagging
[XCoNvicT] it just takes gettin used to
[RoyaLBlooD] yah it is
[RoyaLBlooD] the PS2 anti-aliasing is almost non-existant
[XCoNvicT] because it got too strong components
[XCoNvicT] no it isn't
[RoyaLBlooD] wait till you get it
[XCoNvicT] have you read anything
[RoyaLBlooD] yes
[RoyaLBlooD] dreamcast is way better
[RoyaLBlooD] PS2 totally sucks in that area
[XCoNvicT] nope Dead or alive has full screen anti-aliasing
[RoyaLBlooD] Tekken Tag Tourny has really really bad aliasing
[RoyaLBlooD] full by PS2 standards
[RoyaLBlooD] thats what im saying, they cheaped out on that
[RoyaLBlooD] they recognize their anti-aliasing as something else
[RoyaLBlooD] they define it different, they way they do it isnt good
[XCoNvicT] madden
[XCoNvicT] ssx
[XCoNvicT] look at star wars
[XCoNvicT] it's just the first games are suffering, mainly the japaneese games
[XCoNvicT] no
[RoyaLBlooD] well dreamcast would suffer too in its first round of games
[RoyaLBlooD] but Dreamcast's first round of games are a lot smoother than PS2's
[RoyaLBlooD] cuz it has better anti-aliasing, heh
[RoyaLBlooD] PS2 has outstanding CGI elements
[RoyaLBlooD] half their previews are of that
[XCoNvicT] dreamcast is easier to develope for
[XCoNvicT] yah
[XCoNvicT] but PS2 is better
[XCoNvicT] just wait
[RoyaLBlooD] id say PS2 is better only cuz its not sega
[RoyaLBlooD] but Gamecube will so own all of them
[XCoNvicT] I have dreamcast
[XCoNvicT] and NFL2k1 isn't even close to Madden

[XCoNvicT] lol
[XCoNvicT] you reapested that
[RoyaLBlooD] you pinged out before i said it
[XCoNvicT] hey ...
[XCoNvicT] PS2 is wayyy better
[XCoNvicT] N64 is blurry
[XCoNvicT] overdone in anti-aliasing
[XCoNvicT] thas why
[XCoNvicT] the system memory is more N64
[XCoNvicT] *than
[RoyaLBlooD] not the video memory though
[RoyaLBlooD] both 4 megs
[XCoNvicT] ok...the Vram isn't enough but thas just for the textures
[XCoNvicT] and the textures I saw so far are top notch
[RoyaLBlooD] yah they are
[RoyaLBlooD] but they dont run smoothly, thats the main thing
[XCoNvicT] it still has raw pollygon muscle
[XCoNvicT] -l
[RoyaLBlooD] on the games with a lot of action, youll see the problem
[XCoNvicT] nah
[XCoNvicT] Dynasty Warriors has about 10 people on screen at once
[XCoNvicT] and it run 60 fps
[XCoNvicT] smooth
[XCoNvicT] so....thas impressive
[RoyaLBlooD] animation is smooth
[RoyaLBlooD] polys are jagged thouhg
[RoyaLBlooD] compared to the same level machines
[RoyaLBlooD] Dreamcast, Gamebox
[XCoNvicT] the bouncer has about 8 people at once with alot of polys and effects
[XCoNvicT] Dreamcast has some games that PS2 has also
[XCoNvicT] and PS2 looks better
[XCoNvicT] dualshock is arguably the best controller of all-time
[XCoNvicT] and the expandabilty is great
[XCoNvicT] Hard-drive possibly a memory add-on
[RoyaLBlooD] exactly
[RoyaLBlooD] PS2 has a lot of technology, too much
[RoyaLBlooD] developers hate it already
[XCoNvicT] uhm....whereas Nintendo is goin for the conventional gaming experience
[RoyaLBlooD] itll be successfull till Gamecube, then itll be like a SNES vs Genesis thing
[XCoNvicT] well....they'll love once they can tap into it
[RoyaLBlooD] thats what Nintendo said about N64...
[XCoNvicT] well genesis out sold nintendo
[XCoNvicT] and playstation
[RoyaLBlooD] no
[RoyaLBlooD] playstation sold the most of them
[XCoNvicT] and even though N64 came afterwards it still lost
[XCoNvicT] N64 was almost 3-times as powerful as the PS
[RoyaLBlooD] but hard to develop for
[XCoNvicT] and it still lost
[RoyaLBlooD] now its reversed
[RoyaLBlooD] PS2 is the bitch to work with, Gamecube is the one everyone will love to develop on
[XCoNvicT] well, only thing is this
[XCoNvicT] Nintendo are after the pre-teen market
[XCoNvicT] no DVD
[XCoNvicT] no plans for internet
[XCoNvicT] no EA
[RoyaLBlooD] actually they have the most original and created ideas planned
[RoyaLBlooD] with the gameboy advanced and all
[XCoNvicT] they do, I agree
[XCoNvicT] Nintendo is heavy on game development
[RoyaLBlooD] they also have a better disc
[XCoNvicT] no....
[RoyaLBlooD] DVD holds more, thats all
[XCoNvicT] how's it better
[RoyaLBlooD] the disc they are using is expected to be the new standard
[XCoNvicT] well correct
[XCoNvicT] no....
[XCoNvicT] how
[RoyaLBlooD] well thats what the industry is already thinking
[RoyaLBlooD] its more compact
[XCoNvicT] more room is what you want
[RoyaLBlooD] nintendos disc is plenty of room
[XCoNvicT] so you don't need that much compact for the house
[XCoNvicT] unless it's for portable
[RoyaLBlooD] its for both
[RoyaLBlooD] home system and portable
[RoyaLBlooD] might be cheaper too i think
[XCoNvicT] well at home you could use records or fuckin laser discs
[RoyaLBlooD] im not sure though
[RoyaLBlooD] you could but you would be stupid to use something like a laser disc, that was such a bust
[XCoNvicT] you don't need anything small
[RoyaLBlooD] no one wants a huge disc
[XCoNvicT] Im just sayin about the size
[XCoNvicT] just an example
[XCoNvicT] at the crib, cd size it compact enough
[XCoNvicT] you don't mini disc and all this other shit
[XCoNvicT] unless it has more storage space
[XCoNvicT] but if I have a DVD which is already compact
[XCoNvicT] and it holds more than 3 -times the space
[XCoNvicT] I'd choose DVD everytime
[XCoNvicT] DVD isnt goin anywhere
[RoyaLBlooD] SNES outsold Genesis by the way
[RoyaLBlooD] just wanted to point that out
[XCoNvicT] well genesis was known as the own hero then
[RoyaLBlooD] it came out first thats all
[XCoNvicT] gave Nintendo a run for its money
[RoyaLBlooD] ppl got it first and some ppl chose to remain loyal to it no matter what
[XCoNvicT] and....Nintendo come to find out, started that whole violence in gaming shit in congress
[XCoNvicT] so it could slow down the genesis
[XCoNvicT] they were so scared
[XCoNvicT] thas why I don't like Nintendo
[RoyaLBlooD] cuz they actually make quality without needing to resort to cheap tactics
[XCoNvicT] they're like the geeks that call the police after you haze em
[RoyaLBlooD] stuff like resident evil, mortal kombat, etc
[XCoNvicT] actually thas a cheap tactic
[RoyaLBlooD] popular purely cuz of the blood parts
[XCoNvicT] well RE was that bad
[RoyaLBlooD] they would have been popular no matter what, but not as much
[XCoNvicT] mortal Kombat 1 and 2 were good
[XCoNvicT] anyways the point is......Sony is awesome
[RoyaLBlooD] and stupid at the same time
[XCoNvicT] they were rookies in the game and blew the bootz off Sega and Nintendo
[XCoNvicT] easily
[RoyaLBlooD] biggest reason PSX was successfull is cuz N64 was a bitch to work with so developers got fed up and left
[RoyaLBlooD] now they go and make a system even harder to develop for than N64 was
[XCoNvicT] they kinda got too far in tech department
[XCoNvicT] thas alright
[RoyaLBlooD] DVD player is a smart move
[RoyaLBlooD] lots of ppl will get it just for that
[XCoNvicT] because the middleware will handle that
[RoyaLBlooD] the system is gunna sell like hell
[XCoNvicT] well of course
[RoyaLBlooD] but the games i dont see them moving as well as Gamecube's will eventually
[XCoNvicT] tha swhy developer will stay with the system
[XCoNvicT] hey matt I'll BB in 10 minutes we'll finish this discussion

Some DOMsquad Logo


This is more or less a test for inserting graphics. This was a logo that we used at one time. Don't ask me when we used it - some time in the April 2000-July 2000 era I would guess - but if I remember correctly, vj made it.

I have a lot of screenshots of match results as well as some other interesting screenshots and some various graphics to share in the upcoming weeks. Much too many to host here, so I'll have to find somewhere to host them all. More importantly though, I have to manually go through them all and rename them. With some effort I could match them up with the match results and kinda-sorta recreate a full match history.

Finally, here is some other DOM logo, that I think was created for the clan by someone in the clan (not sure if it was also vj or someone else's attempt) that I am certain we did not actually use. It certainly doesn't seem familiar enough to me to have been something we used anyhow.

Clan Members

I wanted to list all the members that were part of the clan some where. I have a list of every member in the clan (which should be at least 99% right), but that isn't all that useful or interesting. There were many eras during the history of the clan: when we were just getting started, when we were matching almost every day, when we were the best clan in DP, when we weren't so good, etc. And not every member was equal in contribution to the clan. Some members were regularly matching every day while others only made it 10% of the time. Some members were in the clan for months and years while others were in it for a week. So it is more interesting, at least to me, to acknowledge the different eras of the clan and who were the main members associated with those eras. I would love to list the exact dates of membership for everyone, but that would be impossible for many reasons. In any case, here are the members that made up the DOM clan (and it's RiP predecessor).

The thing about DOM though is that it was more than just a matching clan, we were also friends and spent hours chatting on IRC every day. We enjoyed talking about sports, music, other games, etc. Even after DOM ended, I still played Anarchy Online, World of Warcraft, and Age of Conan with Fury. It was a family atmosphere. We argued and bickered a lot, but never in a way where any of the "essential" members got angry with one another. We also did not have any cumbersome leadership roles or any special rules. I trusted all our essential members to set and accept matches as if they were clan leaders. We were all equals.

So to me, DOM was two parts - one the competitive part that matched other clans and held one of the best (real and provable, at that time at least) records in DP of its time and the other family and friends part. To have been an essential member of DOM, in my mind, was to have been essential in both areas.

To that end, and I hesitate to even do this because it might upset someone... actually barely anyone is going to be reading this anyway so I don't care. These are the absolute essential DOM members - the members that made DOM special, the members that immediately come to mind when I think about DOM, and the members that, should we be able to "come back" yet again in full force, that I would ideally want back. This is DOM!

Absolute-Special-Essentials of DOM
Royalblood (Founder, main organizer, example-setter, unofficial-but-generally-acknowledged-leader)
Polishplaya/Methane (Co-founder and unofficial 2nd-in-command during his time)
Adrenaline (The guy that at times was not able to match as regularly as he would like, but who was always a blast to chat with online)
Fury (Arguably DOM's most skilled and active)
Jballz (Essential part of DOM's glory days when we were without-doubt the best clan in DP)
vj (Been with me in both RiP and DOM)

This is meant as no offense to any other former DOM members who were left off the list. These are just the most active and longest lasting members, with whom we formed a special bond together during our playing days.

Mission Statements and Codes of Conduct

There were several incarnations of the DOM website over the years, probably as many as five. As a result, there were also different incarnations of our mission statement, code of conduct, and other similar information. The following is three separate "Information" pages in chronological order from earliest to latest. As you can see each one built upon the previous one so that the final one contained the most information and was the most polished.

Information

About the Clan

The DOMsquad is a Digital Paint Paintball 2 clan. The DOMsquad was created to be a clan of the highest quality - both a blend of top-notch competitiveness and great sportsmanship while maintaining a level of funness. The goal of the clan is to play a clean fair game and be as successfull as we possibly can. To do this we will practice, develop teamwork, strategize, and bond as a team. We will set an example by maintaining a high level of classiness on and off the field. In the end The DOMsquad won't have to demand respect, we will have earned it.

Mission Statement

Lame. That is what describes the majority of the online gaming clan scene. Not to say that all clans are lame, or even that most clans are lame, but when you look at the clan scene as a whole, its lameness that you see.

Ever since Quake reinvented multiplayer gaming, gamers around the world have grouped together to form "clans". With gamers united together into these clans, a whole new way to play the game was born. Teamplay rapidly took off and became the main way to play the game. Mega-popular team mods, Capture the Flag and Team Fortress further expanded the concept of clans. Since then there have been numerous games and mods that have shaped today's clan scene.

The problem is that most gamers don't personally know their fellow clan member. Gamers can typically communicate with each other in different ways - by e-mail, over IRC, or through messaging services. But you never truly know each other. It is very easy to misinterpret what one is saying in type. This misinterpretation can cause one to appear lame or immature. Over time some gamers just gave up trying to act unlame. Other gamers get a kick out of spamming, trash talking with everyone, or other acts of lameness. Eventually the clan scene evolved into what it is now - a heaping pile of general lameness.

The DOMsquad is an unlame clan of the highest quality. As gamers, we are committed to maintaining a blend of both top-notch competitiveness and great sportsmanship. We do so for many reasons, mostly because it will ultimately lead to a much richer and more rewarding gaming experience.

Our mission directs us to:

- work with others, especially other clan-mates, to better each others' knowledge and skill in and out of the game.

- uphold the values important to successfull clans, in particular those expressed in the code of conduct.

- to be maintain a high level of competitiveness at all times, matches and non-matches alike, without sacrificing sportsmanship.

- set a good example to other players and clans on how a truly successfull clan operates.

Code of Conduct

All clan members are expected to present themselves in a highly respectful manner. This goes for while your participating with the clan as well as while your not within the clan. At all times you are playing in a game or chatting on IRC you are representing the clan and shall do so according to these guidelines.

Personal Conduct
All members are expected to act in a mature and respectable manner at all times. Every member is expected to respect each fellow clan member. Members should be competitive, honest, and loyal to the clan.

IRC Conduct
Everyone is expected to participate in IRC so we can get to know each other and bond as a team. While on IRC everyone should act mature and respectful. Unnecessary scripts or bots are frowned upon. All members have permission to use any op powers such as kicking as long as it is necessary. This is expected while outside our personal clan channel. Act respectable and mature in other clan channels just in the same way that you are expected in our channel.

Practice Conduct
Everyone is encouraged to participate in as many practices as they can. If you can't make a practice, you are expected to notify a leader. During practices everyone must be aware of what is going on and follow directions. Practices must be taken seriously for them to have any impact. While in practice, keep the talking and fooling around to an absolute minimum and listen and follow the leader's orders.

Match Conduct
Outside of leader to leader talk, the only communication should be in team talk only. Non-friendly trash talking before and after matches is looked down upon. Cheating of any kind is absolutely not tolerated. Every member should respect and follow the acting leader's decisions without question. Giving up or quiting is absolutely untolerated. Everyone is expected to do their own part within the team structure with the goal of bettering the overall team score, not your individual score. Members are expected to accept the outcome of the match with dignity and without complaint. We will pride ourselves on the ability to accept loss when the need arises. On the other hand, when we win we won't rub it in to the other clan.

Dealing With Opponents/Others
You are expected to treat your opponents with respect and dignity. There shall be no fighting with other clans. Should another clan start something with us, ignore them and we will take it up on the battlefield. Only leaders are allowed to organize and schedule matches with other clans. Direct other people to an available leader should there be one, or direct them to the clan site and have them fill out a form and we shall get back to them. This goes for matches, alliances, recruits, etc.

FAQ

What does DOM stand for?
- DOM doesn't stand for anything, it is just an abreviation of the full name - The DOMsquad.

What does DOMsquad mean/come from?
- The word DOM comes from the word "domination" and basically takes the meaning of: When you dominate so much that you only need to say "DOM..!" and your opponent knows exactly what your talking about. So therefore "DOM!" is a battle cry of total domination and "DOMsquad" is a team who totally dominates.

When was The DOMsquad created? / Who created DOM?
- The DOMsquad was created eccentially by RoyalBlood over the first week of May 1999. RoyalBlood and Methane (then known as PolishPlaya) were the original founders of the clan.

I Cant Believe I Said That

I just have to say that looking back at these chat excerpts from 8 years ago has been very interesting. It's history, like finding lost artifacts that help us to understand how things were back then. Even though I personally remember the events of that time, memory is not perfect and is prone to being remembered differently over the years, so it's neat revisiting the conversations that took place so long ago. In a way, in Internet years, it WAS a long time ago. The web was in its infancy in the mid-90's and most people did not have it yet. I was playing Doom at this time. By 2000, the web was growing at an exponential rate, but was still very primitive compared to now. Thus these chat excerpts are kind of analogous to looking back at the middle ages when compared the to history of human beings.

The other thing that strikes me about these chats is just how much has changed since then. I sound so much more immature and lame. I wasn't lame or immature at that time, but it kinda seems like it looking back at it now. Also, most noticeably is the fact that my tastes in music has GREATLY changed, for the better I would say. Most of those bands that I was talking about how cool they were, like Primer 55 or Soulfly, I think are horrible and lame now. I don't regret listening to them, but from reading these chats, it seems like I enjoyed them more than I am willing to acknowledge today. Much of this is just ignorance - I was only beginning to listen to metal and did not know of all the other music out there that is so much better. But it pains me to read that now.

Overall though, it is fun to reminisce. I can read these chats, completely haven forgotten that a particular conversation ever took place, and all of a sudden remember, if not exactly, at least part of what was going on at the time. Some of it is rather humorous too. I'm glad to have found them and hope I can keep finding more. I kind of wish I had been more vigorous about saving and backing up everything at the time so that I can dive into everything now, but I am happy to have what I have.

For the record, I now listen to black metal, folk or viking metal, and melodeath.

History of DOM (circa 2004)

This history of DOM was written by yours truly some time during the spring of 2004 when the clan decided to "unretire" from DP for the 2nd time (or 3rd if you count a few matches in 2003.) We only played for a few months or so and did decent, but not great, before we retired again, this time for good. I plan to add this extra chapter to the DOM history, as well as greatly enhance and rewrite the entire history at some time in the near future. Hell, I may just write a memoir of my entire DP experiences one day. But for now, this will have to do.


1. Creation

Towards the end of March 1999, the RIP clan for Digital Paint was dead. I, one of the original founders of RIP, had to move on. I went clanless for a month before deciding on a clan. The other original founder of RIP and personal friend of mine, PolishPlaya, did the same and ended up in a different clan. For the next month or so we looked at numerous clans and even joined a couple. In the end I came to the realization that most clans pretty much sucked. So I decided to give it another shot and create another clan. Keeping in mind what was wrong with most other clans, PolishPlaya and I created what I personally consider to have become the perfect clan. In May 1999, The DOMsquad was founded. I choose the name DOMsquad from a personal word that my group of friends used - "DOM", which applied to the knowledge that you dominated so much that you dont even need to say the "inate" part. It was in my belief that the clan would achieve their namesake.

2. The Early Days

Within a day or two The DOMsquad picked up a member in the name of Acid. We decided not to rush into a match till we gained a few more members and had some practices. However this didn't exactly work out as planned. Instantly we were pestered by a clan by the name of Mama's Boys for a match. Other clans followed. Thus we finally gave in and on May 12, 1999 had our first match - a win against Original Paint Hooligans. During these early days, The DOMsquad consisted entirely of HPB's (High Ping Bastards). Due to the nature of online gaming, this gave us a disadvantage against the better clans who had a few LPB's (Low Ping Bastards). However we quickly gained a reputation as being a very talented group of HPB's with great sportsmanship. Eventhough we couldn't beat the best clans yet, we certainly were an above average clan and gave any clan a work out. Eventually we added WarLobster and ADrenaline to the clan. We also helped change the Digital Paint clan community at this time. Previously most clans only matched once a week, however we, along with Mama's Boys, were matching 3 or 4 times a week regularly. Eventually other clans picked up on this and started matching more regularly too. In the middle of July 1999, The DOMsquad had a respectable 29-17 record.

3. The Middle Ages

Slowly things changed with in the clan by end of the summer. Acid had quit, along with some other members, thus there was a need to add more members. Enter FuRy and JBallZ. WarLobster quit shortly afterwords. Violent J, a former RIP member, was added to The DOMsquad roster. The DOMsquad also changed from an all HPB team to a mostly LPB team, with PolishPlaya getting a T1 at college and RoyaLBlooD, FuRy, and JBallZ all getting cable modems. The clan continued to improve and was now argueably one of the top clans. Here and there we would still lose, but the losses were primarily to other top clans. We gained a reputation at this time as being a clan that doesn't back down from anyone and who frequently challenges the best. We also slowly gained a following of immature jealousy from certain members of the community.

4. The Dark Ages

During the winter of 1999, the clan scene withered. The majority of the top clans had moved on and no longer played Digital Paint. Matches were harder to come by too. Fighting with other clans became a common occurance as the majority of other clans seamed to only want beef with us. We started to fight and argue amongst ourselves a bit too much even. The clan reached the top (in our minds at least) and lost it's focus. Matches were played half-hazardously and without joy. Sensing we needed to move on and that the Digital Paint community was in a state of death anyway (rampant cheating at this time), we retired at the end of February 2000 with an impressive record of 89-44. We had the most (legit) matches and wins of any DP clan in it's history and had proven to ourselves that we were the top clan of the moment. We decided to move into Q3. However that didn't happen, as people didn't get Q3 as soon as originally planned. PolishPlaya also quit at this time.

5. Rebirth

During the month of March 2000, we did little of anything as a clan. However the Digital Paint community slowly came back and we were frequently getting asked for matches. Eventually we decided to unretire and came back in April 2000 with a new vengence. This version of The DOMsquad, while similar on the outside, was very much different on the inside. All the egos and attitude had been left behind and replacing that was a total-team effort that quickly turned unstoppable. If anyone doubted we were the best before, they had all the proof they could want now. We went on a nice 19 game stretch with only 1 loss. Everyone knew we were the clan to beat and we got massive challenges accordingly. We went through everyone, slaughtering any clan with a lack of team play that we met in our path. Our record during this time was an impressive 43-11. Eventually after proving without a shadow of a doubt our place in DP history as one of the all-time top clans, and with little else to prove, we retired for good in July 2000 with a final record of 132-55.

6. TFC & CS

At this time we pursued other gaming experiences, most notably Team Fortress Classic and Counterstrike on Half Life. I can't fill in the details at this moment. There were some fun times, but ultimately it never matched our experience in DP.

7. Death

Eventually it had to happen. Everyone went their own ways and the clan ceased to exist. We still kept in touch with each other everyone once in a while. But matching together as a clan had seemingly come to a final end. There was a minor revival back into DP in the early part of 2003, but the results were disappointing and the revival went away just as quickly as it started.

8. Coming Full Circle

Once again the thrill of competition called us back. Back to our roots in DP. Some how the core members of the clan were reunited. Increased efforts in the community to bring back the same matching expereinces that brought us to love the game in the first place were being made. And DOM would be central in that. New members have been added. The next chapter in the DOM saga is ready to be written...

Random Moments in #domsquad (volume 2)

*Note: This post is one in a series of posts containing the unedited surviving IRC transcripts from the likely period of 1999-2001. They are completely random with no knowledge of date or order except that which can be determined through the context and content of said transcripts. No effort will be made at cleaning them up or putting them in order. They may contain material that is inappropriate for younger children. They also may contain lameness and immaturity that is inappropriate for just about everyone. The words represented in these transcripts do not necessarily reflect the opinion of this blog or author, even where the words transcribed, in fact, originated from said author of this blog. It's been eight years or so, after all - a lot can be and has changed! So read at your own caution.*


f my guitar
[RoyaLBlooD] im close to 21 though, and they dont know my exact birthday
[ADrenaline] matt i'm not seeing the cable
[RoyaLBlooD] think man, how can i do it
[RoyaLBlooD] what cable
[ADrenaline] mic to amp
[RoyaLBlooD] the cord
[ADrenaline] yea
[RoyaLBlooD] every mic has to connect to something
[ADrenaline] it's a different plug is all i'm saying
[ADrenaline] cables aren't cheap either
[RoyaLBlooD] so you use that adapter
[RoyaLBlooD] you dont need a cable unless you need an extention so it reaches further
[ADrenaline] i'm not seeing the adapter
[ADrenaline] ok
[ADrenaline] ummm
[ADrenaline] the mic plug is a big circle with 3 holes in it
[ADrenaline] not like a plug in like a guitar
[ADrenaline] so they must have a certain plug in their amps or something
[ADrenaline] anyway
[ADrenaline] what's some music with that kinda sound i'm looking for
[ADrenaline] i forgot
[ADrenaline] hmm may have found something
[ADrenaline] http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ex/shop/rec/001018202122204032101168363911?buy&type=t&q=TRANSFORMER&linenum=4&csel=0&netpid=270570
[ADrenaline] $15 piece
[ADrenaline] so....
[ADrenaline] like $145 for the mic shit
[ADrenaline] if you figure $15 for that piece, $99 for the mic, $40 for the cable
