<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>SORRY FOR THE
NOVEL..... BUT please read it all -- it's important!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>We are now 1/1 and
are holding position 20 on the TWL ladder. To those that participated in
the last match... you can still hold your head high. Here is the full
story of what went down. Please pass the info on to those that may not
know (that aren't on the email list eg. Rumple/? anyone else?). We very
well might have been 2/0 if we would have played the OT rounds with the first
clan that challenged us like we were suppose to! OK heres the
story:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>After the first map
(El Al.) we were tied of course 0/0... during that intermission a player from
another clan came in and said they have been monitoring this other clan (in fact
were high up in the other clan b4 leaving them) and said they were 99.9%
sure that they were smurfing (smurfing=substituting better player from another
team). And that we were just to continue the match... and not register a loss
but contest the match and have the TWL Ladder admin look at the logs from
BFSecure. I took alot of **** / heat for this -- alot of smack talk and
junk was thrown around against us. Well the TWL counsel of admins said
there was sufficient evidence of Hanky-panky... so much that the player involved
[MHO] Jarvis (who is the CLAN LEADER for MHO and played for a lesser
player [MHO] -=Erik=-) was BANNED from TWL and that whole team ([MHO] Echo) was
kicked from the ladder for good Jarvis will not play for [MHO] bravo
either. Now this is the same Jarvis who is the server/owner/admin/clan
leader/computer guru whos server we were playing on... which explains the
other *funny* stuff we all witnessed. Complete disregard for the
rules.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>MHO has further
spread lies on the TWL forum saying they "quit" because they were accused of
hacking by us.... (no one accused them of that -- interesting?) and they were so
moraly superior that they are leaving. I have emailed the Ladder admin to
address this and put the truth on the boards! I really hope people are
smarter than that.... that they will be able to read between the lines.... they
quit because we accused.... LOL....???</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>Anyway, hold your
heads high.. I have mixed emotions about the whole deal. Personaly i think
it bites to take a win in this manner. But I think it bites worse to lose
to rule-breaking-who-knows-whats (don't want to accuse of hacking... but u
know)! and it feels good to have a team like that purged... and it sends a
message hopefully to those who may consider it in the
future.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004><STRONG><U>For us it
means this:</U></STRONG></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>1) We carry on...
don't be discouraged!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>2) We need to
practice hard as a team </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=859450905-30062004>- I'm suggesting play as much as you like when you can
but don't let it interfere with real life! </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>- AND- once a week we will hold practices
for like 2-3 hours -- that you will HAVE to attend to be eligible for match
play. Sorry to be so harsh.... but if we want to gain any ground thats the
deal.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>3) We have to be
sure to dot our "i's" and cross our "t's". </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>
A) We have to be extra sure/careful with our PBGUID. Make sure its
in. Make sure its correct. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>
B) We ALL have to figure out BFSecure Client - it saved our butts
this time... it will save our butts again! Very few clans will let you go with
out it... and those that do probably have somen to hide! so 100% of us
have to figure it out... you won't be able to play matches without
it!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004> C)
Refresh yourselves with the rules... everyone should be aware and knowledgeeable
of the TWL/Ladder rules that we are participating in.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>4) I'm not going to
attack for a while. I want to try to hold our rung for a while... just
defend against attackers... and mature as a team. We seriously need some
gelling time together. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>5) Build some
continuity and consistancy as a clan.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=859450905-30062004>6) ABOVE ALL ELSE --
DONT STOOP TO THE LEVELS THAT OTHERS HAVE. PLEASE KEEP OUR TAG {VxV} AS A
CLAN OF HONOR! DONT GET CAUGHT TALKING TRASH... CUSSING... FLAMING....
NAME CALLING.... ETC. ON THE BOARDS OR ON BF1942 SERVERS. I WANT TO BE
ALWAYS REGUARDED AS A NO-NONSENSE HONORABLE CLAN. ITS HARD AT TIMES - NOT
TO JUST FRAG THE GUY WHO JUST KILLED YOU FOR A PLANE OR CALL HIM A ******
*******. TAKE THE HIGH ROAD. DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT EXPLOITS, CHEATS,
TK'N ON PUB SERVERS, OR ANYTHING THAT WILL BRING THE OTHER PLAYERS DOWN
TOO. IT REFLECTS ON ALL OF US. Now - i say this because a recent
recruit who is not on this email list was bragging about all the map exploits he
knew.... I don't want that crap anywhere near us! We are a team.... and if
one member screws up.... it could take us all down!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
