May 5th, 1999Newbie IRC ChannelKnacK has set up an IRC channel for all the newcomers to DP Paintball2. It's #dpnewbie on GameNode. For all of you new to IRC, you can get on by grabbing mIRC, then typing /server ri.gamenode.net then /join #dpnewbie. You can also click on the chat link to the right and set "dpnewbie" to be the channel. May 3rd, 1999News From the PPN TeamPaintball Player News is still alive but has moved to http://ppn.ujw.org. Their new members are Scythe (Founder), DaKillaz (co-founder), Oddjob, SomeBadAss, and a new recruit, M4t, who did the new main logo. The site will be renovated in the next few weeks. It will be hosting a 1on1 Tourney(DM) (more news will be available soon) and contain new sections such as Recruitment Places and a Message Board. If you have any other suggestions, give the PPN team a shoot on GameNode in #ppn. May 1st, 1999Back in the Swing of ThingsYeah... I've been kinda "slacking off" with DP stuff lately. I've been pretty busy with school and RealLife(tm), but this weekend I got some stuff done (see potd). I'm gonna try to finish up all the models this weekend (PGP 'n stuff) and maybe work on some mapping. The final release should be nice and purty :) Clan CentralPearlSlam is in the final stages of getting Clan Central ready for public use. He has posted a survey at dp.steubing.net that each clan's primary leader (the top dog from each clan) needs to fill out. This information will then be used to notify each clan leader on how to create their clan and begin using Clan Central to manage their clan activities. Clan Central's doors are expected to open by the beginning of next week if all goes well. This also depends on that survey being filled out in a timely fashion! :) April 30th, 1999Clan CentralPearlSlam is in the final stages of getting Clan Central ready for public use.
