PHUCKITMAN

Thanks Ted for the update and I feel gut punched. I have been praying for Brat to have a full recovery from his fight with the Fucking "C" word and now to find out they both are in the Hospital with Covid-19 and most likely the Delta variant is very troubling so I will have to say more prayers and send lots of love their way. They are both FINE PEOPLE and a Blessing to all they know and meet and have been a couple for ever. I have faith they will pull thru this and get the finest treatments available to their Medical team. I am sure if Bart was posting on here today he would say "No Matter What You Have Heard or Read, Get Vaccinated For Your Family and Friends"

The past year and a half have been tough on so many levels to so many XI Members, their Families, neighbors, and Society in general for too many reasons to list. We have seen the lost of 5 XI Clan/Family members and we have several fighting health issues that are very serious and have changed their lives in ways they never expected but they are XI and strong people who will win their battles, I have faith in that fact. I was reminded to day after reading about another surprising loss that we have been together many of us over 15 years and we are all getting older even if our mind says "Phuckitman your crazy as fuck smoke another bowl" it is a fact. Having said that I hope we all take a moment during each Day, Game, Time with Family, Loved Ones, Interaction with others in game and just be glad we get to enjoy Life. We don't walk in others shoes and should not be their judge rather we should support them and try to find empathy for their journey, joy hardship, loss, and most importantly their passing. My point is there is no cost to take a moment to say something positive or supporting to another human being let alone someone you care about and we never know when it might be the last time and things left unsaid leave the biggest wounds that can't be healed. Wishing even your worst enemy is about you and who you are not as much about them and wishing your friends/family good health and good fortune is the same thing but it can make a huge difference to the one hearing it and you may never know just how much. Be Kind to each other, it could become more contagious than the Delta variant of Covid-19. RIP CORPSE2 and Miss the rest of those who can't kiss those they Loved everyday.

@PainKiller I wish more players would take a even a small amount of the time they spend bitching about things to say "Thank You" to you and @loaderXI both for everything you two put up with and how much work you put in to making sure we all have a place to have fun and some laughs. Few really know or seem to care about how much time you give to these types of things that very few of those bitching would be willing to do or have the skills to pull off. Please accept our thanks here from those few who post them here from all of us who meet up every weekend to enjoy the fruits of your guys labor. Looking forward to seeing how things go this weekend and what Mr. New Name each week comes up with next to grind his ax on lol. Too bad Rage quitter's can't be made to miss 1 hour of gaming as a penalty, now that cracks me the fuck up right there...

The maps you selected for this rotation are good solid choices and a nice variety of big and small size maps with some nice super long range sniper maps that make it hard for those who want to use a Kar and rain lead instead of snipe because the smaller maps can be so close. But considering that we range from 4 to 16 players at any given time on the weekends 9:00am to 2:30pm EDT it makes great sense to have both. Those big maps with just a few players could be like watching paint dry looking for someone to shoot if the move as much as Laz which is zero. My comments are just me sharing my thoughts only and by no means are they to be acted on by anyone unless 1) They make sense to all who matter and 2) They are easy to do at this point in the games life. The Server is set-up extremely well and the only reason several people who actually take our games serious are asking for more spawn protection is because of what I said before, Campers have no idea how they can cause their team to be pinned down and crushed because they have a solid ratio not knowing we let them live many times because we know they won't move unless shot and forced by the respawn. So sorry that we are asking you guys to figure out a way to protect us against our friends and clan members not fully grasping the math of COD2 after 15 plus years. Keep up the good work and go England on Sunday Mate

No worries and that longer spawn will help some of us who understand how the spawn works get away from those campers who don't have a clue that they are causing their team mates to get slaughtered. I have been known to not shoot said campers to keep targets in a specific area and I also throw smoke in front of those on my team that camp as well by the 3rd time I respawn next to them so maybe they will move. As soon as I see other teammates spawning around me I move to a new place on the map, I hate crowded areas LOL. And the weapon pickup is a huge issue on the sniper maps when there are a few sweet spots and some pick the Springfield and others select the Enfield. Both are good weapons but the commands for pick-up/use and zoom are pre-set to use the same key as you know and with our weapons choices and ammo amounts it is very rare a player would pick up a gun they come across, nades and health yes but a dropped MP44 I doubt. You are doing a great job and should take great pride in that so we can wait without any problems. Keep it up KID

NO THAT IS @window'S KILL SCORE ON MOST COD2 MAPS THESE DAYS

You're not alone it seems https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/oregon-woman-puts-up-sign-inviting-neighbors-to-reclaim-items-stolen-by-her-cat/

Hey now both of you young whipper snappers slow your roll, many of us old fuckers read the forums and respond to those that we feel the need to. I tried several months ago to see if there was any interest in a tourny or a scrim to help @BlackRose after a talk with @loaderXI and we got no real interest. We have about 40 regular players on the 2 servers with little over lap. Some like the DM in the Evenings and others just play on the TDM weekends in the morning early afternoon. Like @PainKiller said the group mostly plays just COD2 with a few exceptions and for something like this to work you would need players who used to play it wanting to download the game again and all the files for a tourney and a lot of them since many say they will play and don't show up. I say that from 15 years of tourney experience in setting them up, posting brackets, posting updates in real time, trying to put them on and not enough desire or interest. The COD2 group is just not big enough alone to support this sort of effort so I hope you don't let the lack of response discourage you BlackRose, you do great work and it is a tough job so I say THANK YOU VERY MUCH. @PainKiller stop talking shit about your elders, remember I was one of the first people to support you becoming the first Junior member of this Clan when many said "No Fucking Way he is a Kid and this is a Adult Server". I told them you were a bright young man who could handle us as we are and if your parents said it was cool who should we be to say no since you were playing all the time anyway and your Dad was a member at the time. Don't make me regret saying nice shit about you mate lol.

Your Cousin "TooCuteSue" as we all knew him was a member of our family from the early years when we were just playing COD2. He was a dedicated player, funny as Hell and loved his Family very much as well as us Idiots since we all feel like this is a "Big Family". He has been missed by many here and we are sure he is having fun in heaven doing everything that made him smile. You are lucky to have someone who Loved and Laughed as much as he did as a influence in your youth and he will continue to watch over you forever as a Guardian Angel. You should feel free to play on any of our servers, I am sure that would make him smile and his chest would puff up with pride. There are many on the COD2,4,5 that were here as members when he played and would enjoy gaming with you and showing you why he always told you how much of a blast our gaming was and still is. My condolences for your families loss but you can tell them that you found his old gaming buddies and we all still love him and miss him just as much.

Just thought I would give you all a heads up that because of the fine work by @PainKiller and @loaderXI and input from many of the regular members who play the TDM Server has been peaking at 15 or so players for several hours on Saturdays and Sundays. Between 9:00am and 2:00pm EDT the past several weeks have seen at least 30 different players every day so seeing lots of great folks and some great games. The Server has room for 20 players and we would love nothing more than to have to add slots for more people. Each game is just 15 minutes long and we have a rotation of 1 Run and Gun TDM match to 1 Sniper Only TDM with teams on separate sides of the map unless you get the plane and drop to your opponents side of the map lol. The map rotation is awesome and loads of fun and plenty of kills unless you respawn next to @LtLaszlo then you will be shot right away because he has Burgers cooking on the campfire and Beer in the ice chest next to his camping chair lol. Feel free to reload your COD2 and join us any weekend for some fast running and long shooting and @Dirk DigglerGreeting you with updates on the weather in his area and what's going on in his neck of the woods. Most of us who play are older so the trick is don't lead us as much when we are running sideways. Looking forward to seeing some new old faces and maybe some DM players who might not know the action has picked up dramatically. Well now I have to

Yeah that's the one I am remembering and you had the walls plastered with as many members sigs as you could get. I remember us all sending them to you in jpeg files which some like me didn't know what that meant or how to do it. There had to be 40 to 50 at least on that map. Just a BIG "XI" with some boards to cross the top here and there and a few places you could climb up and some light cover here and there like carts, booths, bushes and a few towers that were around the outside edges. I can close my eyes and see it but just can't remember the damn name.

The map I am remembering was a walled in map with bushes around the edges and a big tan XI in the middle and a few towers but all the walls of the XI had players sigs on it like posters. I went thru the entire map list tonight using the portal and many don't have photos like mp_killa_xi_admin doesn't but that name sounds so familiar. The map you mentioned @loaderXII think is the map with the small XI with the box up in the air and the wood platform that floats as well with the few secrets like jumping towards a tank???

That's the one Dawgy made and it has a few hidden secrets in it. That map was lots of fun and don't recall any glitches in it

It also might be mp_killa_xi_adm

Awesome job Markoff, very nice way to remember one of the funniest members this Family has ever had. We used to have a Map I think Rugger made that had several of our sigs on the walls. I think it was the map with the big XI in the middle but @loaderXI or @Ruggerxi can answer which map it is but it was made many years ago and has probably many sigs from some who have been around here forever and some who are gaming in Heaven. It is always nice to make a memory for a friend that will show your love for them for years to come. Bravo Dude Bravo

I have figured out if we all end up on a Island together we won't be bored #5 Gave me faith that Hard Rock that chicks wanted to dance to was still around and by "Chicks" I mean Strippers #4 See number 5 #3 Smoked a ton of weed listening to this with my first live in Girlfriend so the memories run deep #2 The Hammer of the Gods and his Mates at their absolute best. They were as tight a band on this one as they would ever be #1 Need I say more... Picked up more Pussy with this playing out of my cassette player in my car during High School then anything else

CRIME OF THE CENTURY is one of my top Albums of all time. Saw them in 1979 at the Forum in Los Angeles and it was a fantastic show topped only by Led Zeppelin at the same place in 1977 and the Original Tour for "The Wall" at The L.A. Sports Arena. That show was EPIC on so many levels it would take several paragraphs to explain
