 Oops!
I forgot to mention, our dedicated Quake3:Arena
Server is up and running (...has been for
a bit now actually...) with rotation through all maps. Come on
out and give 'er a shot! As it's set up now, there will be at least
one BOT on it to play should the server be empty (...which doesn't last
very long...).

We've
changed the date for BTM15
-- To facilitate a scheduling conflict, we've bumped it to the next weekend,
if you're on the list, please make sure this date's okay with you!
If there's a difficulty, please let us know ASAP! Very sorry if this
causes any inconvenience (...I know some of you actually book these
days off in advance...).

The
screenshots are up! Head to the Screenshots page and check out the
action from BTM14
-- There's a real "good" chance BTM15
will be rescheduled to February 26th. Just a couple things to check
but if you're signed-up for it I apologize for any inconvenience this re-schedule
may cause, we're 90% sure the date's going to change.

Looks
like I'm getting some flak about BTM15
filling so fast! Honest folks, it's first come, first in, there are
no advanced "automatic" registrations (...other then Sgt.Slaughter and
myself, it would be kinda' weird if we didn't make it in... I'd have
to stand on the lawn with the neighbour during it <GriN!>...).
Quick
news update, UnReal has a new patch (...thanks CorpsE for the head's
up...) You can grab it here
or off the Abattoir SuperFTP.
We're working on a Quake3:Arena Dedicated
Server right now, but I think the screenshots
from BTM14 have
the priority. So many diversions! Happy 32nd B-Day BammBamm!!

  Let
the good times roll... Thanks for coming out to what turned out to
be "the best BTM
to date" (...they just keep getting better!..) The prizes
were great and the UnReal
room vs. room match was... well, UnReal!
It was major tournament action between the two rooms and the CTF pace was
fast and crazy, talk about a need for Depends Undergarments! We'll
work on the Screenshots as quick as possible - for now, the black-out curtains
have been folded and the table's stowed. For the "quick on the trigger"
types, you'll notice BTM15's
date has already been set, and within 2 hours, we're half-way full!
YoucH!

  It's
Party time!!! The troops are massed on the floor's and couches still
passed out from last night's early bird,
the grill's warming and the breakfast's about to get going. We're
ready to rock! There's been some last second cancellations (...as
usual!..) so if you're on the waiting list, be sure to check the BTM
button to see if you made it for BTM14!
If not, keep posted to the Abattoir
for Monday / Tuesday when we'll post the date for BTM15
and get your name in fast! We're going off-line now and switching
all servers over to the in-house network, radio silence in 5... 4... 3...
2... 1... Shhhhhhhhhhhhh... (...that's static BTW...)
Peace.

Congratulations
to BammBamm! Looks like he can't stand being too far from the Abattoir,
Dale and Dave bought a new home in Burlington, and it's a beauty -- House
bash at Dave's place mid March!!

Oh
my gawd! Wonder where the UpDates have been!? You would not
even begin to imagine the ass-kicking I'd love to give either Bill gates
or Globalserve (...I've not locked-down which is it yet...)
I've spent the last three days trying to recover / redo screw-ups (...and
I think I'm winning!...)
Okay,
news... Firstly, here's the Abattoir's
Guide to Quake3:Arena Levels, I finished
this yesterday but due to the constant *&^$%#@!
I've been getting from Globalserve's Web Server it's only now I can tell
you it's here. Hold onto your bandwidth and check the link.
We're
days away from BTM14!!
The Banner Flags for the Blue Base
and the Red Base
are hung, Here's how we're doing it... We have Captains appointed
for each room. The Captain of the Red
Team is Robes! The Captain of the Blue
Team is HitMan! (...Congratulations, as Captains you're in charge
of refreshments for your team! Hahaha... <AheM!>...)
Okay, you will be assigned a room (...or team...) when you arrive,
please be sure you arrive promptly at noon (...if you want to come earlier,
11am is fine...) We'll set-up, play a little FFA, perhaps a bit
of Q3, chat it up, then the curtain between the rooms is drawn and it's
CTF battle time!
Please
check the BTM
button to the left to see if you're on the play list, and if you are, please
verify that you're coming!! If you can't make it, or even if you're
not sure, please let us know, there's many others who are waiting to get
in! Let's bring 2000 in with a boom!
