Bits And Bobs

Posted by Hotshot at 09:43 12/9/2003.

In Dev's absence I feel it is important to continue the homage to Bits And Bobs, and as a mark of respect I've avoided making a funny title for the post. So without further ado, let's take you on a whirlwind tour of wonder and excitement:

God bless you Dev.

"some would doubt 4K.fe's dominance of the female UK scene right now."

er yeah..... like 99.9% of the UK CS community have doubted that ever since the two ladies squads were formed. SCEE.ladies are 5 times better. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Well excuse me, but when people make news posts, could they be a little more accurate? Tasha left before WCG, and tbh her loss does not mean AT ALL that it would spell the end of us ta :)

We've recruited a new member in teh form of MinXy and shes top class :D. Charleh played at WCG as i was unable to go. Who else could they have got at such short notice? I've apologised several times over for not being able to be there but hey, real life comes first i'm sure many of you would agree...Although probably not seeing as most of you live on here...

We also wish SCEE the best of luck at ECG, and hope they do the same for us at BLR and any other lans that we are going to attend :)

Why even post about 4k-ladies?

Can we please have a poll to see if people care about it?

I like news to be posted about those who have earned it. There are 100's of clans who should get a mention before these. Hotshot I hope you get something out of it...

id like to say that ukt covers as much of the CS scene as it possibly can within reasonable limits. We dont often get news concerning the ladies arena and as such when we do get it, it makes a nice change to post it.

and mat i never once mentioned them as the "top" UK CS team. the 4k tag of 4k.fe carries a brand dominance in as much as people assume they are the best being part of the 4k franchise. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

No one was blaming you? However I was asked 3 times, as an admin by different people why 4k Ladies had a bloke and whether they would be disqualified for turning up with a merc. Which is a fair point, considering a clan which are seeded in the middle could get an easy ride and turn up with all the clan members from OMG, ONE or 4k.

I was also told the 4k ladies team didn't even turn up to a LAN centre to qualify. So how exactly that works I don't understand. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

as i heard it 4k ladies switched qualifier at the last minute to one where they knew there would be nobody else attending and thus they would qualify automatically and that those at the wcg were happy with this as they wanted 4k.fe to play for publicity reasons. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

They may be, but 4k's budget is rather large!

I actually asked Myers about that, there was a time when northampton was meant to have been cancelled for qualifiers, so i asked Rich if we could just be the 1 team that went and get the qualifier spot. But he said no, cause that's against the rules and in th event that happened a 2nd team would get the spot from another qualifier event. No special treatment or anything :D [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Come on people, there's no need to be so harsh.

Yeah, we're not as good as most teams. We're not pretending that we are. Just because we have the 4k tag, it shouldn't affect you. All it should mean to you is that you know where you can find us.
The tag is good for us in a number of ways, and also bad for us, but don't assume that we think we're something that we're not.

We have lots of room to improve, and that we shall do. WCG was a good experience for us, even if we have been used as a marketing tool.

Look at it this way. Yes, making a big deal out of girls playing games could be considered shallow etc, or pointless. I almost agree. But raising public awareness of gaming, in any way, can only really be good for it in the long run. And _using_ females is the simplest way to do it.

We partook in the WCG-sponsored media activities because it was FUN. Simple as that... it was all there for us so we took it. It wasn't because we're soemthign special, and noone ever pretended it was.

We're humble but it doesn't mean we're not hungry to improve.

And i'm disgusted at any comment which uses our gender as confirmation that we are akin to some 15 year old slag from some s***ty estate with a baby already. We're jus trying to play a game, no need for all the flames. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Crim, at the end of the day, surely, we shouldn't spend our time b***hing? We don't go and cry if we get flamed or anything, and yeh, I understand why a lot of people think we don't deserve this tag, like its some kind of holy grail or whatever. But its JUST A TAG. And we're just a team trying to improve.

There really isn't much special about us yet, so I don't know why people care. My thoughts are rather like necroboy was trying to put across...

When we're worth all this attention, and we do soemthing wrong, THEN flame us. It'll be confirmation of our improvement, and probably very well received.

By the way, don't take my humblistic attitude as the one of the whole team, or in meaning that we're s***. Cos we aint :P

strange my (ex)girlfriend (sal to anyone who knows her)
was part of 4k.fe when they were ^X^ she was one of the clan starters when they left from PMT i think it was.

there was lots of different b***hing etc around between all the ladies and it turned out that a few of their players always had been male.

besides the point though they were not good certainly not players of any serious skill.
their so called best player at the time and the only person of the team who gave me a run for my money later admitted to being norty cheater.

now all well and good i 4k wanted a female team however there are many many better all female clans out there than ^X^ part of the only reason they got to being so well known and hence noticed by X was the amount of spamming and putting it about on irc they did [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
