I got sentimental and went looking for a JK clan I was in back in my Gaming Zone days and actually found the website of the first clan I was in: Guru Jedi.

I'm actually surprised the site is still up since the clan dissolved shortly after I left the Zone.

Anyone else remember the first clan they were in, if you were ever in one?

[EDIT]Hah, I'm still on the roster too, I remember most of the guys that were in it as well[/EDIT]

haha,



I was in a clan called Council of Nine, then the New Jedi Order then Elite Jedi Masters. They were all rubbish. A bunch of stupid clan drama bull**** and not actually playing the damn game.

Thats weird Emon, I remember being in NJO

Was the leader an arrogant douche named ObiWan or something that started a really bad web design company where each site he designed had the exact same layout as all his clan sites?

I was in one for Outcast.. GL (Gathering of the Lafastafarians) .. that clan pwned so much.. good times.

I was in a clan called Forces of Power. Started as an X-Wing Alliance clan and started the JK side. We played in those Weeks of War things all the time back in the day.

I can't be sure, but a leader named ObiWan in my JK days sounds very familiar. Keep in mind that I was like 10 or 12 years old at the time though.

I was never in a JK clan although I used to prefix my name with FRNDS_ as my friend Froggy did

I was in NJO for a bit, and it definitely had an obiwan guy. I don't remember if he was in charge or anything about web design, though.

Before that I was in the Imperial Ground Forces. All I really remember is that whenever a superior officer would enter the chat you were supposed to type *s* to salute.

I was in a clan called DS, or Defender's of Sovereignty. I think at least 1 other Massassian was in there too. Mostly played XWA but JK too. They are still around believe it or not, after almost 10 years of existence.

Still in the clan The Dark Jedi Brotherhood. And its still going strong.

I was in JEDI_

You started as a JEDIa_ (apprentice) and you had a master. Then you graduated after you passed the trials. It was pretty cool when i was 12

I remember NJO_ I think they had a weirdal yoda song on their website I kept listening to. Simple pleasures.

Highlight of the zone though was nar shaddaa ctf, and the password was fan. Very good times. Epic games!

CLANS R DUM

I was in the Napalm Death Squad (NDS) for Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (JKDF2), Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith (JKMOTS) & Quake II (Q2). We started in Winter of 1998 as a Q2 Capture the Flag (CTF) clan. One of my good friends introduced me to JKDF2 & JKMOTS & I haven't been able to find a game that brings me such joy since. My brother ran the Q2 side of the clan & they became quite successful. I ran the JKDF2 & JKMOTS portion of the clan. I went under the names Mentat, ReAcToR & STaRCHiLD.

The Q2 side eventually broke off in to their own clan which was known as ED (Evil Dissention) & went on to be one of the top Q2 CTF clans in the world. Many of those guys were friends of mine in real-life.

The JKDF2/JKMOTS side of the clan continued to play these 2 games for years to come. I would say that several of us played religiously up until 2006/2007. We had a split over ideological issues about halfway through the life of the clan. We mutually decided that none of us would use the NDS name. Some of the players went on to form a clan called Sabers & Guns Elite (SaGE) & I & those that were loyal to me went on to form Hoth (it doesn't stand for anything), which was a relatively good No Force (NF) clan specializing in Guns/Sabers. This was also when we began to toy around with NF CTF a bit more. We also went under the name DaRK (not an abbreviation) which was when many of us became very interested in Full Force (FF). We also went under the name Notorious Assassin Ring (NaR) which was primarily a CTF phase but a few of us still dabbled in FF as well. Once the SaGE clan finally disbanded, we changed our name back to NDS & all of the old SaGE guys were fine with that. We became primarily a CTF clan & I must admit that we were quite good. We were friendly with Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (ETI) & Team Fusion (TF) which were also primarily CTF clans & we had some really great times. I personally feel that we were one of the better CTF clans in our time but that we're rarely recognized for that. I think that much of that has to do with the fact that we weren't really big Internet Gaming Zone (IGZ) people & we would tend to have private IP games. We would play with anyone but if you were obnoxious or rude we'd tend to not invite you to our private games. In our first 2 years of playing JKDF2/JKMOTS we purposely avoided IGZ because of the consistent bad attitudes that were prevalent. We primarily used the old JediBoard along with ReconDroid & later Qtracker.

Because of our avoidance of IGZ & their popular notions of gameplay & rules, we mastered the weapons that many considered useless & we developed our own rules & tactics that would later cause a stir amongst many IGZ players when we did join their community & they would claim that we were hacking. They couldn't understand why we were able to use weaker weapons to kill them when they were holding Concussion Rifles (CRs) & Rail Detonators (RDs). For example, we never subscribed to the notion of Ji Oasis (JiO) or MERC Oasis II (MO2) where the only weapon that anyone really uses is a CR. We had been playing Canyon Oasis (CO) for years without "leaving packs" or even using CRs as a primary weapon. If we were playing in a 4-person Free For All (FFA) in Canyon Oasis & someone went for the CR, the other 3 people would join forces to take down that guy, by any means necessary using angles, foot-work, item-control, etc. This made all of us very good at killing with the weaker weapons. When we finally went to the Zone & were getting Thermal Detonator (TD), Sequence Charger (mines) & Lightsaber (saber) kills in Canyon Oasis & other maps, for example, against guys who had been training primarily with CRs & RDs, they would often accuse of cheating/hacking.

Anyways, there are few here that would probably care about any of that except for maybe Mormegil & Vornskr but I've often thought that we didn't get the respect that we deserved. Hell, you can look at the posts on the JKDF2.net forums made by Wodz, who is supposedly a "JK historian" & he fails to even mention us. I find that irritating considering the fact that we would often destroy a few hundred people that he does mention.

Note: I recognize the fact that this all sounds pretty dorky but we really took our JKDF2/JKMOTS seriously back then, hahaha!

DJB/rDB? Slackers stopped running ICTE

I was in a clan for all of a month before it died. Don't even remember the name. After that I didn't bother, found Massassi.

I was in a clan called LoC (Leaders of Chaos). It was awesome. Best clan ever. Lots of good people were in it, too.

I remember being in STP .. storm trooper patrol.

my friend and I were also in our exclusive clan, EMP .. evil monkey pimps

The first clan I joined was SDA - Star Defenders Alliance. Can't remember how long I was with them for. Later started SGC - Smugglers Guild of Corellia.

Your Owners

Still active, play JK on occasion. There's like 5 or 6 of us left lol

I'm one of the least active members, generally playing most of my games freelance rather than with the clan tag.

I never joined a clan, but me and a dude from Israel would login about the same time everyday and we teamed up to kick some bootay.

I had a few friends in a clan, but I don't remember the name. I thought it had "Flying" in it or "Fire". Crap. That was a LONG time ago.

I do remember racing home from work each day to play for an hour or two.

The only clan I remember being in was called JTC i believe, or Jedi Training Clan or something like that.

i was in two clans. the first was The Silver Mandalors (TSM), and then another guy from that clan and i started The Mandalorian Legion (TML)... good times!
i remember alot of the clans you guys have mentioned most notably MERC, JEDI_, and NJO
also remember a clan called TBS (the black sun) fairly well.

Starcraft Clan:
Rogue Squadron
[R$]

That website is terrible and apparently formatted for old CRTS.

omg nostalgic flash site

The only clan I was in was the Monkey Island uQarek Clan (MIQC), which had a Jedi Knight sub-clan and was run by Mort-Hog. It was the best clan ever.

Hooray!

I remember discovering the CTF side of Jedi Knight in, what, 2000? I wanted to join Team Fusion, since they were the only CTF clan I knew about, but they wouldn't have me. That summer, I think, I joined the clan STaR, which was also primarily a CTF clan, which I left after a couple of years for NDS.

What other primarily CTF clans were there? I seem to remember playing against a lot of fellows in AV_ and NKM_, though I don't remember what those stood for or if they were really CTF-centric.

Some of us still haven't let go...

However, I will say KOP was a great clan in my opinion. Sure, you all mock blujay, but he was fair to the clan, managed a simple site for us. We had a great map made by one of our members, called KOP Training Grounds. Dunno if its on Massassi or not, but it was fun. *sigh* those were the days.
