Zandronum

[EDIT: 27/10/2014] CLAN IS OFFICIALLY DEAD FOR NOW.

Ah, and special message to people: the official crew members are either on this page, on the BaseQ Website. If you have seen someone usurpating our team name, report as soon as possible, through PM or on my mail. If you have their IP, please also report it to me.

You may have already heard of us in the past (our servers, Zdaemon events/matchs), but past is past. We're living in the present. And when we live in the present, you cannot look back, but you can look into the future.

So DooM is DooM no matter what. Time can change, but we're still here. BaseQ now also plays on Zandronum as well as Zdaemon. (and other games, but we're getting serious teams.)

We will be happy to make some games against you on 2o2-TDM, or even CTF.

Players:

• Ch0wW (Team Maintener, Captain)
• Dislogical (Second Captain, leader)
• JCD
• Oxyde

Zone: Europe

Recrutement: On for now. Looking for 1 member. However, we're getting a very strict policy about taking the right persons: behaviour, skills, teamplay. Europeans will always be privilegied over Americans.

Servers: We do host competitive-only servers for Zandronum: Duels, TDM, and CTFs. Check this thread for suggestions.

We actively support you to follow us. At least, on the social network.

Oh here we go, good luck@!

Woohoo !

Glad to see the competitive side of zandronum increase some more.

Finally, good to see this clan in here! Good luck.

My favourite Frenchies, welcome :)

We gladly announce the fact that Fsn76 is officially coming to BaseQ on Zandronum!

We announce too that he'll lead BaseQ doom. Congratz!

Update to announce that Karakurt and Fsn76 left BaseQ.

We hope them luck \o/ !

Just an update to officially say that:

Recruitment is active! So we are looking for 2 players, or why not 3, that are available a lot.

However, be warned, as we are going to be extremely selective about that.

Change your first post so people can see your recruitement open mon ami!

True... I forgot to add it on the thread. It's added, and clear enough to see it!
Merci mate :D !

Clan is officially dead. It won't come back until further notice.

Also, we're closing the competitive servers indefinitely, for a lot of reasons: money is just one of the biggest problems right now.

Have fun everyone.

A shame. Hope to see you guys come back some time in the future.

Sucks so much to see this clan die .

I know mate. But it has been a very difficult decision to take. So let me it get it straight to the point why it's been dead.

- First of all, all that $h!t-drama about BaseQ. It's been 2 complete months that BaseQ has been freely bashed, that was the clan itself, the servers, the players/ex-players or even to myself (how could it even happen?!). By being someone being mainly on DooM to help bringing back competitions, by creating quality servers, that's honestly an insult to me.

I won't add more details on it, but that's not the way to do it when you need to criticize something. There's a thread here for the clan, and another one exclusively for the servers, so if you have suggestions or problems, don't speak behind my back like a coward, and post a constructive message instead. That'd be a little more... Grateful for the work and money I'm spending for the community.

- Speaking of it: money is the second problem for stopping this. It has been 3 months I'm trying to look for a job suited to my needs (with no success even if I'm qualified enough to be an IT technician), and the money I'm paying for the servers is from the 600€ I'm left with my bank account. So, minus the transport fees I'll need if I get a job, and bills, I won't have enough to pay the servers. And as I've no credit card still, I'll have to get ~45€ (~$60) on Paypal in less than 4 days to have enough money to pay them this month. Yep, 2 servers, 2 different goals to prioritize servers, and to reduce bandwidth problems.

People enjoy our servers after all (not only on DooM, let's say it straight), and are even thanking me, even for the help I'm providing for theirs. But what would happen once they'll be stopped? People are usually coming on BaseQ servers because of their stability and its priorities to competition, and as we're constantly hearing suggestions from players.
So, even if BaseQ as a clan is dead, I honestly don't want to leave my servers too; since they've been here for more than 2 years now, that people like them overall, and that I've got very good moments helping the communities too. But I just can't do this alone.

The last reason is because of me. Since Fsn76 left BaseQ to create HN (and I accepted that, don't get me wrong), I felt internally like if I was let down ([FR] Le TS devenu instantanément deserté par exemple suite à un départ, reconnais que ca blesse sérieusement la motivation à continuer [/FR]). Even after a lot of discussion with other BaseQ members, we haven't found a correct solution to "continue" BaseQ effectively at least on DooM, other than with JCD, Oxyde, Dislogical and I: for availability reasons for instance, or they didn't want new non-fr members, problems like that.
Additionally, we had problems with our CSGO team (cheating reasons: 3 V.A.C banned, cool.). I was lost, and wasn't able to do anything, to the point I was depressed, and accumulated IRL problems over IVL problems. We all have up and downs after all, and I needed to hide it as much as I could to avoid problems.

TO THE POINT of that event Nevanos wanted to do: fun events with a few people out there. I was part of the event, as a player, and by making them servers. And that'd be polite that if they're doing an event or something, they could -at least- warn me, even if I'm not there.

If I say that, it's because of this reason: I recently saw JCD having -CE- before his name, and not his regular clantag. I thought first that it was a clan (turns out it was years before, but it was part of their event as a "private joke", ahah.), and had the feeling that he betrayed me; hence the fact I was extremely angry at him, AND to Nevanos afterwards. That was too much for me, and needed to burst out my rage, but unfortunately... Not on the right person. Because of that, JCD left [BaseQ] in favour of HN. I preferred to stop definitively the adventure at this point. (and even worse, but it's because of a mis-understanding)

So now, you all know everything. I'll be still there to help about the server management, development on source ports, and I'm apologizing to people here while we're at it: JCD, Nevanos, Fsn76 (surtout toi ma coche ), Oxyde, and especially Dislogical for all the problems I've unwillingly given to you. I'm so weak and so sorry...

EDIT: And additonnally that I stop competition for a long while.

C'etait Ch0wW, Out.

It is a shame for BaseQ to end you were some of the best guys in Doom and I enjoyed hanging out and playing with you guys. Also Ch0wW I hope you can find a good job that suits your needs soon. It is a shame there was also drama with BaseQ you guys are so nice and ran such awesome servers!

Anyway best of luck mes amis!

I want to clarify a couple of things before the masses burry us six feet under. :)

A lot of things have happened to us over the last few days it's not been easy for all of us. I won't detail more because that's not of public utility, and not your concern either.
I just want to apologise to the Zandronum community (and ZDaemon's while we're at it) if the BaseQ competitive servers interruption has caused any trouble.
You can now enjoy the servers again (though ZDaemon will have to wait for now) as they were before. Expect quite a couple of changes in the next days/weeks; BaseQ will go on a complete restructuration.

Chow pointed out a lack of money to pay the servers; this problem won't be one any longer. Don't worry about the availability of the network, changes will be silky smooth. ;)

I, once again, apologise if all of these unfortunate events have caused any trouble to anyone.

Thanks Intoxicate for that, but that's "Mission Impossible" for me right now to get a job, unless I'm really lucky.
Also. We're not dead "communitarly" speaking, and I have to greatly thank Oxyde for what he is doing with me. We're only dead competitively, even if we will play some private CTFs or duels at times for fun.

We're indeed discussing about our restructuration: it's hard for us to recover with all that happened to us, but we can't let ourselves down, especially with the amount of work we did before and now. (I've had to write it down all I have to fix for tomorrow, and it's related to everything: our TS3, our global CFGs for instance and even more)

PS: Intoxicate, you're still welcome to the BaseQ TS mate, don't worry \o/ !
