In 1999 I founded a clan called BH because I thought clans were cool and I wanted to be cool. I let people in via an arbitrary tryout system, which was what all the good clans did. Actually got some pretty good players. Others didn't make the cut, like Sr JP CB AT, who later became known as salamander, and actually joined a later iteration of the clan.

The DL clan was founded by merging BH with RS. I was contacted by an RS member who went by "Spaz" or something like that. He was fun because he hated fquist. He made a server called FQUIST IS SATAN. In any case I met bob through him and the clans merged together shortly after. That spaz guy was not let in.

Also back then trafton was really annoying and wanted to get in the clan (I really forget if it was BH, DL or DM), but I said no. And he got mad at me and pestered me a lot. This would have been 1999 or 2000. He also said I hated him because I disliked some tileset dethman made. Anyway I think we finally caved in around 2006, because he's a member now. I think.

I don't really like clans any more. I'm still a member of DM because the one rule is that you can't leave once you join. It's like the mafia. People who leave were actually never a member in the first place, you see.


I have lots of memories of JDC. I was one of the first members to sign up in season 1, I never did well though. I became an official many seasons later by complaining about poor level quality used in events. Eventually they got sick of me and gave me status of official in exchange for making levels for them. I became an admin later on, and was very active for several seasons in hosting. These days I usually take a more behind the scenes role though, taking more of a managing role rather than hosting events and stuff. Just don't have the time to do all the things I used to. Plus the scene has mostly moved to europe, and it's best that the hosts live over there because of that.


I have more things to post but I'm done for now.
