New rushes

Vise and method have rather quickly weaseled their way into the conciousness of the Green Light and were granted their {rush} tags last night.

We have known there is flicker of Green within method since the old skool days of Unreal and the Unreality forums; it just took time for him to recognize it.


The Book of Deviance 2:214
Know ye there will be found method in that perceived by the unbelievers as madness. For
that which is madness to the heathen maytimes be seen to be truth in the Light of the Glow.

...could it be? Prophesy? or simply wisdom and a coincidence of words?

There are predictions that the Glow will find the combination of Vise's dead-eye aim (reminiscent of dagger and Tyler) and horrific UT2K4 driving (argh - you'd swear he's a graduate of the Hex School of Spaztic Driving) to be irresistible.

The path to the Light is arduous; good luck to both.

A new college grad...

Speaking of graduates - Oberon reports that "As of tomorrow I am done with my BA in Organizational Leadership. Just a fancy shamcy name for Business Management." Mucho congrats, Obie!!

His next step is a Masters degree...after "a few months off to breathe." Yup, both the Clan and his wife would like to see a little more of him; for a while at least. hehe

Challenged by Team Xtreme Pain:

The Deviants were challenged by Team Xtreme Pain for a match to be played on 27 March 2004. They did not show up and we once again were granted a forfeit by the Admin at TWL. We maintained our position on the ladder and will be challenging for the #1 spot against gsk (Good Samaritan Kids).

Advanced to the 5th rung of the ladder:

We challenged Team Undefined for a match to be played on 17 March 2004. They did not show up, so we were granted a forfeit win to advance us to the 5th rung on the TDM 4v4 Ladder at TWL.

DvT Cache Update

Deb announced that an entry has been into the DvT Cache folder.

Congrats!

DvT Unreal Servers

Due to a great deal of creative slacking on my part, I have failed to note herein that Reckless, Tyler, and Soapy have, for some time now, been providing the Deviants with UT2003, and now UT2004Demo, servers. They have been paying for these out their own pockets. With the new server that UY recently put online, this gives us servers in (respectively) Seattle, St. Louis, Los Angeles, and Houston. Currently all are UT2004Demo servers, except St. Louis, which is UT2003. The word on the street is that all four will be upgraded to UT2004 shortly after it is released.

More info about the servers (including IPs) is always available at servers.dvts.org.

GGs guys...and thank you!

Roster Page Updates

The DvT map on the Roster Page has been updated to reflect recent name and location changes.

DvT (attacking) vs Team Splooge

We challenged Team Splooge for a top 10 spot on the ladder. Unfortunately, Team Splooge had some difficulty with clan re-organization and could not round up enough players on the night of the match, so they offered us a forfeit, which we graciously accepted. Now we are at the 10th rung, which affords us an opportunity to challenge for a top 5 position!

Mar 3, 2004 -- {DvT}JonahHex

HAPPY 5th!!

A milestone for Clan Deviants. Five years ago the Green Light blazed into the current incarnation of the Universe Unreal, surrounding a Cloaked Figure, whom some say summoned it and others say was created by it. Others maintain that one is simply the physical manifestation of the other, but which is physical and which is ethereal is still subject to debate. None deny that Deviance has permeated the fabric of creation.

Happy Birthday, Deviants and The Glow that is Green.

TWL match: Dvt (defending) vs carbonized Xistence

In this match we were attacked (challenged) by the carbonized Xistence for our ladder Rung #22. On the first map we held a 15 frag lead most of the time with Reckless leading the way logging 34 kills. We did a nice job of communicating and controlled the power-ups very well. On the second map, UY subbed in for Soapy and bitched nonstop about not having any weapons while still racking up 22 frags. We held a commanding lead most of the time as cX was having some difficulty with the higher than usual pings. Sadly, after our match cX bowed out of the ladder since they did not like the weapon stay off format. We successfully defended our 22nd Rung on the Ladder. Nice job guys and good teamwork!

TWL match: DvT (attacking) vs Team Chatkill

This match marked DvT's entrance into the TWL 4v4 TDM Ladder for UT2004. We were very excited to get to test our skills against another team. The Ladder is set up for teams to play until a team has won 2 maps. We attacked (challenged) Team Chatkill for Ladder Rung #13 from Rung #22. On the first map, all (Rhino, Tyler, Reckless, and Soapy) performed well, but Chatkill held onto a 10 frag lead after the first 2 minutes of play and we never caught up. Tyler had a catastrophic computer failure and had to bow out of the match after the first map. UY joined in Tyler's place for the second map and we struggled to get anything going since Chatkill did a nice job of controlling the power-ups and weapons. Team Chatkill played with a lot of class and we enjoyed fragging with them. We lost the attack and remained on Ladder Rung #22.

DvT-Central Lives Again

UY conned the folks at his work into letting him put a UT2004Demo server on their T1. Its an Intel dual Xeon PII 450 server platform SC450NX that's running sweet after getting a RAM transplant. Getting it running put UY into therapy, but this will be short-lived due to the certainty that his shrink will check into the nuthouse voluntarily after the 3rd session. Good work on both counts, UY.


Feb 19, 2004 -- {DvT}JonahHex

DvT enters the interclan match area after 2+ years

After a hiatus of over 2 years, Clan Deviants is venturing into the realm of the unwashed again. {DvT}Rhino (nee Benis) is so pleased with his new name and overwhelmed by an uncontrollable psychic urge to show it off that he enrolled us in the TeamWarfare Ladder {TWL) to play in their UT2004Demo TDM ladder. Hopefully the weaponstay-off rules established by the spawn-killing junkies that run the ladder won't dim the Green Light to puke-brown.


July 29, 2003 -- {DvT}JonahHex

DopeSick is sitting a bucket of ice

After one of the longest periods from interest in the Clan to Trial, DopeSick bravely wished UY and Tyler "luck" and "good hunting." Little did the stockholders of the KY jelly company know of their good fortune in those few words. They were also the last words he had time to say as the whupping commenced. The details are too grisly for words, but UY's summary: "He took it like a man." is all that needs to be said. Congratulations, {DvT}DopeSick. The tunnel was long; the light at the end was Green.


July 27, 2003 -- {DvT}JonahHex

Archipeligus found that the Green Light is truth he's been seeking

Archipeligus' reply to Sapient6 got this Clan off the ground so many years ago. Now, after a second, too long, sabatical he has again rekindled the Glow of the Green Light and found his place at the great table in Deviant Hall waiting patiently for his return. When he returned from his first LOA, he took on the name Steel_On_Target. Since that was way too long to type, "SOT" was the obvious abbreviation...NOT! Hex promptly chucked that and dubbed him "ZOT," the sound made by the BC comic-strip anteater's tongue. That tongue is still deadly! Watch yourselves!! Welcome back, oh Seeker of Truth.


July 14, 2003 -- {DvT}JonahHex

A new suspect and a new Overseer

For reasons known only to the Green Light, {rush}DopeSick was accused of Deviance by the Clan assembled; he hastily plead guilty, without thought to the consequences. Congrats, {suspect}DopeSick.

The naive rush's plea got me thinking seriously about the fact that we only had one Overseer. {DvT}UY was appointed and promptly assigned to the suspect's Trial; may the Green Light have mercy, the Overseer won't. Congratulations, UY!

{DvT}SSgt{Tyler} lives!

The Green Glow is again burning brightly around Tyler; he is finally dressed in {DvT} Green...and Hex's stomach is starting to settle.


May 31, 2003 -- {DvT}JonahHex

Not lost in the shuffle

May, 2003, has been busy month at Deviant Hall. Even amid the celebrations of the return of long absent brothers and the expansion of the nursery, the devotions of the DvT groupie known as DopeSick were impossible to ignore. The Green Light seems to like him and he was admitted as a {rush} last night. Let the abuse commence! Good luck, DS ...and the party continues.


May 25, 2003 -- {DvT}JonahHex

The Faerie Prince

Oberon announced the arrival of his son (Joey, May 21, 2003) and was given leave from his training to adjust to the new duties. With new cause for celebration, the party at Deviant Hall continues.


May 15, 2003 -- {DvT}JonahHex

The Green Light gets brighter

Within hours of each other, apparitions of Tyler and Oberon appeared at Deviant Hall. Though not together, the wraiths were remarkably similar: hesitant, searching, somewhat surprised that they even got past the Wards that surround the Keep; The Green Glow flickered...gently, faintly, it enveloped them.

Rumours that Tyler had been seen making his way toward the Keep had been whispered -- Obie returned as he had left: full stealth mode. Both slowly, self-conciously, moved around the Great Table...were their chairs still there, or had they been turned to kindling? Each found his to still be warm...just the night before the Cloaked One had, as was his wont, performed his flatulance rituals at the cathedra of those who had moved on to other clans; a few had been destroyed by the ritual; the two of interest were intact. Promising...

Hex escorted each, in turn, to the dungeons for interogation...which relatively quickly turned to debriefings: the Glow surrounding them was weak, but obvious...and both were pregnant! Each would need strengthing before the Light would allow them the weight of their tags, but the party celebrating their returns began almost immediately.

A palpable presence filled the room as Sapient6 read this email, a feeling of future years pressing backwards to peer over his shoulder and read along, names that Sapient6 had yet to hear, people he had yet to meet, and some that he would part ways with forever only after they had left an indelible mark in his life.

Yeah, I know about the dual install thingee with 220/221. I've just been lazy about picking up the patch. I'll take care of that tonight (even though my HDD space is creeping lower and lower).

Anyway, ICQ should be a zip for you...it's only about a meg, so only a 3-5 minute download from your 56k service (assuming your ISP gives you that much...which you seemed to indicate).

I play as Archipeligus, so you won't have any problems finding me if I'm around.

I have to work at 6am EST, so I prolly won't be on too late tonight, but will be on and off at all hours during the weekend (hehehee).

Linking to pages within this site

Every now and then I find I want to post a link to a page within this site. This is a little bit doable, but suffers from some nasty tricks where external windows are opened and redirected so the linked page ends up within the frameset like it's supposed to be. Today I've written some script to make this easier, it involves no external windows and only causes redirection within the frameset itself. The only caveat is that this doesn't work with the external navigation window (if you were using this then you would know what I'm talking about, so ignore that caveat if it makes no sense to you).

If there's a page on this site other than your own roster page that you'd like to provide as a link somewhere else, and provided this link isn't going to reside within some other site's frameset, you can accomplish this by clicking the Deviants logo at the top of this page. Try it now. It will open a small window with the URL you need to use for the link. An Unreality code using this url is listed below that, and below the unreality code is a UBB code (useable on any forum which uses standard UBB code, such as the INA forums). Enjoy.


February 24, 2003 -- {DvT}Sapient6

We're slow

But {DvT}Benis isn't. And stop that snickering. He's been a member for a while now, but he's new enough that he wasn't around to get mentioned in Hex's update. Benis is cool and he's popular with the non-shithead crowd. Welcome aboard, {DvT}Benis.

Criticism

I've added a Game Reviews section to the Random Crap menu. Hopefully others will have game reviews they feel like writing so this won't be yet another portion of the site that only I contribute to. The first review is one I wrote up for Unreal2 today. I feel the review is fair and even handed, giving a score based on substance rather than just a blind rant or rave. If someone else in DvT has something meaningful to say about Unreal2 I think it would be perfectly acceptable for a second review of the game to be posted.

Year's End...

After a relatively quiet year waiting, often not too patiently, for Unreal Tournament 2003 to be released, the Green Star over Deviant Hold lit the sky with new found brilliance in December:

...A New Overseer

Dagger is our newest Tribunal Overseer. After training with S6 during farNorth's Trial, he ran Reckless' Trial 2 days later. Good work, Dag, and thanks for taking on this new responsibility. Additionally Dagger has been tossing everyone he can catch into his donkey cart and hauling them off to UT2K3 training sessions.

...{DvT}farNorth
{DvT}Reckless

farNorth (12/15/02; Sapient6 and Dagger) and Reckless (12/17/02; Dagger and UY) are now seated at the great table of Deviant Hall. The Green Light shines brighter than ever.

...{rush}Benis

Less than a week after the Trials were over, the Star flared again as Benis put on his {rush} tag.

...{DvT}Latro

Guided by the unmistakable Light, Latro returned to Deviant Keep stark nekkid except for his new shock rifle. Fortunately we had his {DvT} cloak at hand to throw over him before Deb could ... well, before Deb could.

A helluva fine way to end the year and celebrate the holidays. Welcome and congrats to all.


December 4, 2002 -- {DvT}Sapient6

A Round Tuit

Ok, so it's late in coming, but I just wanted to point out that we've got a few rushes right now. Our current list of rushes, as far as I know, includes Isis, farNorth, and Reckless.

Good luck to you all.

The second Deviant Haiku thread was full up, with over one hundred new verses. This thread has been locked and it's contents archived. If you haven't already, then check it out. It's good for the soul. Or something.

Death From Above

Deviants extends it's thanks to DFA for the impromptu scrim last night. It's always good to have something to do and someone to do it with. Thanks as well are due to {DvT}WarBlade for seeking out and setting up the scrimmage.

Roster

The clan roster is now up to date. While there are some inactive members still on the roster, all of them are still officially members and sill actively in touch with the clan.


October 17, 2002 -- {DvT}Sapient6

Style Sheets and Other Changes

In honor of our clan's personal style sheet over at Unreality's message board I decided to update the look over here on our site to have at least comparable colors. I'm not interested in dealing with constant tables to make the layout similar. Too bad.

Shortly our Servers page needs an update. But I'm tired and out of it, so later.


October 4, 2002 -- {DvT}Sapient6

A Year from Now

So Unreal Tournament 2003 is out, the 9x Ued3 is out, and DvT is once again picking up speed. Practices on Sunday and Tuesday nights are more crowded, providing enough players for a pw'd internal practice. Things are really picking up speed.

Return of the Robot

The first old Deviant face to return to Deviant Hall with the dawn of UT2003 is none other than the Gorfian Robot. It's clear this tin man is a little rusty, but once he's shaken off that rust I predict a more sharply honed AI-driven killing machine than previously seen this side of the millenium.

Old School

At some point during the transition to UT, the values the Unreal community held so dear began to wash away. I guess at that point they became "Old School", which sounds like rap but is infinately more tollerable. There are a lot of changes to gameplay in UT2k3 that suggest some of the Old School values are outdated. If you're a member, or even if you aren't, and you have an opinion on this you'd like to share with the class, head on over to our Unreality forum and join our debate on what 'Old School' will mean for DvT in this new game.


August 21, 2002 -- {DvT}Sapient6

GG, LL

As I understand it, gg's are to be sent out to LL for the scrim we had last night. From what I saw in IRC there was a bit of a misunderstanding between our clans on the ethics of play. Suffice to say that after the first map there was a lot of bitching. But a word or two with LL and a little disbelief on their side and the problem was gone for the second map.

That shows a lot of class on their side, that they are willing to adapt their playstyle in the interest of making the game fun. And it all goes to show that if there weren't so many twitch-kiddy-bitches playing the game solely for the purpose of achieving the next win at any cost that playing this game with others in the community might actually be consistantly fun.

War Monkey the Flinger Update

Just a quick note to point out that War Monkey the Flinger, or resident expert on expert advice, has updated his page with some deviant advice for our clan leader.


July 18, 2002 -- {DvT}Sapient6

After Three Years

Back in 1999 we had a few features, here and there, that we don't have now. Where did they go? Well, the reorginization of the site in late 2001 aimed at streamlining the site a bit-- removing extranious and essentially dead features from the menu.

But now we have a Random Crap page with room to spare for dead and seldom updated features. And this means barrels of fun. Now you can go back and read one of my first online rants, where I bitch about the worst software company ever: Legend Entertainment. Or you could read the "Ask War Monkey the Flinger" articles from 1999 (note: flinger's QA session on our news page has been moved to this new and more appropriate home).


July 11, 2002 -- {DvT}Sapient6

Further

In further preparation for the rebirth of the Unreal community, I've done more organizing of our site. A lot of the new changes won't be too obvious to you unless you vist, say, the news archive or the honor roll. One change to the honor roll might be very startling for some... but I've never been a big fan of revisionist history so I thought it was high time to stop participating in it.


July 10, 2002 -- {DvT}Sapient6

External Menu

For the entire day today I've been unable to access our forums. Deprived of the ability to spam, I've spent the time I usually spend spamming working on our new external menu system. I'd be interested in people testing it out to see if it works. Since it's supposed to be the ultimate in compatability, providing access to our site for those whose browsers don't support dynamic html, I guess I should probably care if it doesn't work for people. I'll do my best, but giving a shit isn't my strong suit.

So if you have a few extra minutes, try it out. Go back to our welcome page and click on the link "External Menu". While I'll at least look into any error messages you get from it, I'm more concerned about issues that prevent it from causing navigation of the site.

Other Changes

I've tweaked a couple other things, here and there. Mainly I've removed most of the super bright headers that were in various places on the site, like the "NEWS" header that used to be at the top of the page. In some cases, like the "NEWS" header, I removed them entirely. In others, like the "MEMBER SITES" header, I changed them to H2's, which is the style of header used on the news dateline.

The welcome page had some tweaking as well. With miles and miles of disclaimers, it was looking pretty messy. So I bumped the disclaimers to the bottom of the page, well out of site even for a maximized hi-res browser window. Since, given the contents of our site, there is a value to having the disclaimers be "in your face" on welcome, I did provide a bold faced link to the disclaimers. Enjoy.

Oh, and I changed the haiku page a bit. I moved it into our frameset, and created an index system. Also I changed the haiku format to html and used tables to the haiku would have less negative space.


July 9, 2002 -- {DvT}Sapient6

Site Script Changes

There are two downsides to the way the menu system here works:

  1. Some browsers can't expand the menus
  2. The pages give error messages if viewed outside the frameset.

So I'm doing some script changes to handle this. Today's script changes tackle the second item. Now when a page is viewed outside the frameset, when the user's mouse travels over the page, the page will open itself in a new window within the frameset and then redirect itself to a page saying, essentially, "close me". Try It.

The second item is going to take a little work. There are a couple possible approaches. If it works, I'll probably change the menu titles themselves to be clickable links that open an external navigation window. Since this system will use straight javascript rather than javascript plus cascading style sheets, it should resolve the problem. My goal here is to have the site a little bit more universal by the time ut2k comes out -- not so universal that it works perfectly for everyone, but universal enough that most browsers can at least "get you there" if you'll tolerate a little annoyance on the way.

In related news, I added some script to make our site less tolerable of being within another frameset. This is something our site had ages ago before the big redesign. Now we've got it again. I'd give you a demonstration tool, but our site appearing within it's own frameset is not actually illegal to the new script, so it would accept it happilly, I'm afraid.

Deviant Haiku

I've finally finished converting the old deviant haiku thread for this site. For more about the thread, what it is, what it's rules are, what it's contents are, check the Forums menu above and go to the link "Deviant Haiku".

Once I've posted these updates I'll head on over to our Unreality forum and post a new Deviant Haiku thread. Of course I'll head off the thread with a link to the old thread contents here. But we do need to get that going again.

Please

If you have any news you want posted here, and you're not JonahHex (i.e. You don't have access to update the site yourself), please drop me a line! I'd be more than happy to post whatever news you want posted. Lets keep things rolling even in this downtime.

Links

SekH and Preacher have done an admirable job of their retool of the Unreality forums. I forsee great things for the core site Unreality when they finally get it out the door. Therefore Unreality gets to go back onto our links list.

In related news, I decided to check the community links for dead links (many clan links are dead, but I'm not going to bother fixing that until UT2K hits the shelves). While doing this I noticed something. When I'd visit a PU hosted site, I'd get a popup on leaving. This is a no no. Therefore I added a note to our links page giving an in-depth study of the lineage of gamespy folks.

Also, I removed all PU links from our links page. Anyone hosted there who cares (I really doubt that anyone hosted there does care), can find a real host.

The Big Contest

I'm looking for someone to crack my encryption scheme. Mainly because I'm curious whether it can be done. The first person to contact me with the decoded text will receive as a prize a free copy of my upcoming CD. Don't rush, the CD isn't done yet -- it's probably about 1 or 2 months from completion. All material is recorded, barring any tracks proving a need for re-recording. The main issue now is mastering which may take "some time".

But what do you need to decypher? This. I strongly recommend you right-click on the above link and select to save it to another location. Your browser is likely to mangle some of the characters in the txt file, and that will kill your chances of decoding it.

Best of luck!

On the subject of ignoring the offensive

It has become clear that there is the possibility that someone could read our site and become horribly offended. Actually, that has been clear for quite some time. For instance, someone could be offended by the color green. Or they could be offended by adults playing video games. Perhaps, and this is a long shot, they could be offended by video games where the object is to graphically dismember a human opponent, and revel in the sight of his blood and guts spraying and bouncing about a 3D environment. I know, hard to believe, but I did say it was a long shot

My recent efforts to diffuse this sort of offense have been obvious. I thought, everyone loves a randy limerick! And what's better than a randy limerick? A perverted and sick analysis of a deeply disturbed haiku! But recent events have brought to my attention that such things are also occasionally deemed offensive. It's not my fault the whole world is prude.

Well, our fearless leader, JonahHex, decided it was time for a disclaimer. He strongly urges the easily offended fringe of society to ignore anything they find offensive on this page and thus not be offended. This is solid advice. But then, I thought, people who are offended by grotesque haiku probably aren't very educated. They probably don't know how to "ignore" things. They need help.

Now there's two ways to help such people. One is to give them an example. So I here's an example for how to ignore the offensive content on this site:

Almost everyone with web access

That's right. Almost everyone who uses the internet ignores this site completely. So if you find something offensive on this site and it starts to bother you, just ask yourself, "in what way am I failing to be like most users of the internet?" Master that and you'll master ignoring the offensive content on this site. You will have mastered that which requires mastering. As a test, try mastering not being offended by the not at all offensive next paragraph.

I know what you're mastering: bating. Why don't you try to download a little less pr0n and give your little member a break already. If you don't slow down you're gunna start bleeding.

Now, if that previous paragraph was the sort of thing that offends you, and you were able to master the suggested technique, then you wouldn't be reading this paragraph now. Were you offended? If the answer is yes, then you're not cut out for the suggested remedy and you'll read on. That's ok, because next I'm going to explain my failsafe plan to avoid offending the sensibility-impaired.

And here it is: I have painstakingly gone through the entire DvT site and identified everything even remotely offensive. I've compiled everything inoffensive and created a sister site with absolutely no offensive material. This site is available to you here. And don't worry, you don't have to read through this post every time you come to the site in the future just to get to the inoffensive one. Nope. Because I've put a link to the inoffensive site on our front page. All is finally well in panzy land.


May 10, 2002 -- {DvT}Sapient6

The Ancient Art of Offense

DvT has many things to teach. One of life's most important lessons is that through our differences we grow. Having your beliefs, your convictions, your sensibilities challenged has the effect of reinspection. You are forced to stop and reconsider what it is you hold to be true. If it weakens your faith, then your faith was poorly founded. If your faith's foundation is true, the challenge only strengthens it.

It is in this proud vein that a new serial thread has been established in the Deviants forum. The purpose of this thread is to present offensive Haiku for the betterment of the reader. This haiku will force you to ask yourself why the author is such a fucking asshole, but beyond that it will force you to look into a mirror and examine your own soul. Why was the haiku offensive? Was it offensive because the author is deeply deviated, or was it offensive because of your own fear to look into your own eyes and see the same sentiment echoing within you.


Bo Peep is a dyke
Strap-on fucking Jill's anus
While Jack steals her sheep

Why does this offend you? You recall the love story of Jack and Jill who wanted nothing more than to share their love for eachother, who were so against materialistic culture that the height of their desire to aquire wealth was for nothing more than a pail of water. Perhaps you assumed that Jack's terrible head injury resulted in death, or at least in the end of their relationship.

Now it's time to reinspect and find the truth. The author of this Haiku tells you that Jack suffered brain damage, his motor skills still function, but he's now a slave to the basist of desires. Jill has stayed with Jack to care for him in his debilitated state, but alas, loneliness has struck at her heart. Women have needs too, and with Jack turned to beastiality Jill is left physically unsatisfied. The tragedy deepens, for Jill finds herself at the mercy of the tyrranical Bo Peep, who sodimizes Jill. Jack is too simple now to know how to save Jill, so he does the only thing he knows how. He steals Bo Peep's sheep and has his own way with them (and thus another childhood mystery is solved).

It's not so offensive now, is it? It's just your own preconceived notions knocking at the door and keeping you from seeing the harsh light of the real world. No one said personal growth wouldn't hurt a little.

It should be clear to you now that this is a very healthy thread. I encourage you to visit the thread. Read through all it's contents, and if something makes you flinch away, don't just turn your back on it. Stop. Read it again. Go in the bathroom and masturbate if you have to. Hell, masturbate on the rushhour bus if that's your thing. But read it all, and let it question yourself. Soon you may find yourself accepting misogyny as the true way, or humping women's legs like an embarrising yorkshire terrier. Perhaps you'll realize your ex girlfriend really does want you to visit her bedroom while she's sleeping and give her a few extra callories to digest. Perhaps you'll get on a firearm waiting list and purge your local mall of some useless human refuse.

The point is, that's growth. You will have grown. Into what, I can't say, but into something for sure. Also, be sure not to mention any of this to the Police or other law enforcement. They likely haven't grown like you have. Do what they tell you. Plead guilty and let them put you away forever. It's for the best, really.

Hello, bitches

There's a new version of the DvT ICQ skin up on our downloads page. You want this. It will make you a better person. Women will lust after you. Men will envy your verility. Strangers will give you money for the opportunity to pleasure you orally. Everyone on your ICQ list will message you more often if you need more messages, or less often if you need fewer. You'll get 100 more frames per second in all the games you play. It will increase drive space bu 10gb. It will give you more RAM. nVidia will send you their latest video cards. Megadeth won't really have disbanded, and Dave Mustane will continue to make beautiful music. [IM8]Monkies won't troll you.

Clearly, you need this new ICQ skin. As you can now tell, your life is currently only a pale unfulfilled shadow of what it could be if you would only download and install this ICQ skin. Why do you persist in abusing yourself in this way?

[IM8]Monkies Banned at Unreality

You may be asking yourself why this is DvT news since Monkies isn't a member of the clan. Well, he's a really good friend of mine in real life. Further, I've always taken every opportunity to abuse the clan news as a personal soap box. I think this is correct behavior, and that more members of the clan should do so. In fact if you've got something you want posted here, and you're a member of the clan, please email me. Seriously, I'll post it for you.

What follows is my biased take on the event. If you were involved in this whole affair and feel I'm misrepresenting it, please feel free to carefully compose your obviously thoughtful opinion and then cram it up your ass and leave it there forever. The topic of the thread was "Boneheaded Quotes", and was posted over at Unreality's Rants&Raves forum. The theme behind the thread was to post boneheaded things that people have said. Monkies' contribution was a quote from the simpsons, an insult that Moe (the bartender) had used. The insult was a poor one, the type that losers often spew when they get tongue tied in the heat of the moment.

[IM8]Monkies:
hey, everybody! I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt.

Preacher took umberage to this. Apparently he believed this was directed at someone in particular, or perhaps the comment resembled Preacher too closely for comfort. At any rate, he edited monkies post:

Preacher:
Censorship is alive and kicking - Preacher

From there it all blossomed.

[IM8]Monkies:
It was a quote from the Simpsons, you dumbass. Are you saying you'd censor the Simpsons?

Preacher:
Yes I am, cockface. Got a problem with that?

[IM8]Monkies:
Yeah, I do. Don't ever come to the states... your head would explode.

BTW - an interesting turn... that you would censor my post full of unoffensive words like "butt" and "smelly", and yet you post using words like "cockface". Nice double standard you have going for you there. Why don't you just go back to deleting peoples' posts to make you feel like a big man?

Preacher:
I am indeed.. And with that you are the weakest link.. Goodbye.

And there you have it. All quotes are cut and pasted directly from the thread itself, except for the original version of Monkies' Moe quote... since Preacher decided to edit it, there's no way to cut and paste it. I think it's pretty clear that Preacher was on the rag. This is not uncommon, and I'm not even saying it's wrong. It's Preacher's board and I see no reason why he shouldn't do with it as he wants. What I am sick of, and the whole point in recounting this, is I've heard from enough people about how great and even handed Preacher is. People who haven't witnessed Preacher doing this sort of thing on the boards often think he's a nice guy. And that's patently untrue. That's like saying [IM8]Monkies is a nice guy. Or saying I'm a nice guy. You can say it, but you're either an assfaced ignorant fuck or you're lying through your teeth.

An interesting footnote to all this is Preacher's behavior since the banning. Preacher has always claimed that the reason he periodically bans Monkies is because monkies stirs up shit, that Monkies makes people unhappy, that people leave Unreality forums because of Monkies, etc.etc. A quick perusal of Preacher's recent posts will turn up some interesting gems, like a photograph of a pile of shit. Nice.

A Few Updates

When Unreality moved to their new servers, the link to our Forum there was broken. It's fixed now.

Updated the DvT Gameservers page.

Soapy visited last Monday. We analyzed the character flaws of all DvT members and concluded that yer all a bunch of Deviants. WarHawk should be in Reno about April 1.
