I have wanted to post this for over..several years. So il get to the point.
I want this thread to be a memorial of all the great squadrons, clans, and pilots.
Post the names of EVERY Squad you can think of, and post the link to their alive or dead site\forums.
We use to have something like this on millways i think, or lightspeed had a site but i think he took it down.
So everyone pitch in and lets get everyone named ok? Im going for clans more then pilots cause i know there are alot of them. Like Xerxes who i think no one knows his active IM.
I remember:
EvilOnes Squadron http://www.z7.invisionfree.com/evil_ones_online
SSX
SSC
FF
DW
[dw]
303 http://www.freespace.pl/forum/index.php (unsure if they have a site)
-
Some other names I can recall are BDHR, RN, RNasty, 4th, Nexus, FD, TCA, TCS, TS, Drak, DE and JTO (this squad was "fake" in a sense). I believe the BDHR guys are still active in other games, but have no idea about the rest.
-
We wouldn't need a memorial if all these squadrons were active.
We need to put that 'timeframe' thing into action...
-
Um, Ephili, the 303 is still active. :wtf:
-
Oh, BTW, what about the Shattered Star Confederacy or whatever?
-
You rang?
Follow the first link in the sig.
SSC doesn't exist anymore, I killed it. It's only SSX now.
-
To the good ol' days.

@cobra:

Alive or dead.
And come on guys, list more names! Im sure many of you were around longer then i was. And use their full names if you can remember them.
-
I know them all.
Not because I have such a good memory, but because THERE IS AN INTERNET ARCHIVE OF THE SQUADWAR PAGES THAT LISTS THEM ALL SINCE THE WHOLE THING BEGAN, AND UNTIL IT ENDED.
As for links to each of them, that one's a bit harder, but then again the links posted here were the only worthy ones to post, the rest is trash anyway.

There IS a working search function, believe it or not. Though I don't know if you can actually find the archive on HLP.
And if I recall correctly you disappeared for about a year or year and a half and suddenly reappeared. So of course you'd never see it. :P

Wow. Iv been hit by total irrevelence.
Still no link.
And guys, no spam, please, get back on topic.

Some might say that the spam, flaming and general stupidity on this thread is a exactly what Squad War was all about. :p
-
Squadwar was like the Quake / CS community, you get on-line, and over weeks/months you build up a kindred band of brothers. Then try to kill them.
The Legion of Apocalypse, Led by my old gaffer, LOA--Auger. http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=429 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=429) the old LOA site was www.Legionofapocalypse.com and i was LOA--JK47.

Nope.
I didn't go near squad war even when it was running. :p

I remember seeing you a few times JK47... as well as Auger. I remember him, he was cool as hell. But back then I sucked and was on 56k, heh

Cheers sparky, nice to know we were not entirely forgotten. Technomages were pretty cool and our arch rivals the Roughnecks, gosh i miss the banter....... :lol:

http://www.darkwing.org.uk/
Ah...darkwing...i remember them :nod:. damn, but those were good times....
-
The only squads that were really big were the following:
4th Angels Squadron
Tera Squadron
Drak Squadron
GreyDeath Legion
Shattered Star Confederation
RoughNecks
Legion of Apocalypse
TCA - Even though they hacked and cheated.
That's about all I can remember. I must say, it was fun being in 4th, LOA, and SSC :)
-
Caligma......................... :D
How goes the Stuff? how ya been and etc :)
DArkwing.. DW Susannah ;7
-
DW was more popular after the game kind of died. Where has DW-Suzanna been? I haven not spoken to her or Mustang in a long time.
-
55th StarSlayers - my squadron
oh and NO variant of RoughNecks (RN) belong on that list as they were the worst cheaters in history and were the direct cause of the termination of squadwar
-
Very true. TCA and RN cheated together actually. They had the same players on each squad so they could control all the nodes. But then again, 4th and TS used to do the same thing. We never played for TS, but we lost certain matches in order to gain strategic nodes so we could face squads we really did not like or wanted to destroy :)
-
i never saw the 4th cheat... and the 4th and the 55th both quit in protest over others cheating on the same day
-
RN had more admirals than the us navy :nod:
I'd see new pilots leap a rank afer doing a single RI, that was bang out of order.
*quick point of interest, i was one ullyses kill away from making commander, 12 bloody points when SW went down........ :(
-

There was StrayKat's wagging the dog thread on the VBB. Might have been limited to him though.
-
I think a lot of squads cheated. That's what happens when games stop being updated and people lose interest. I've seen it in many games. Sucks =\
It's pretty cool to see you guys around from back in the day. Brings back some good memories :)
-
the period of time i'm talking about was during active maintainership of squadwar
-
Yea, but Freespace itself was not being updated.

Aha thank you. Thats what i was asking for for a while. That is of great help.

Nice website, a little shocked there was a FFXI link, didn't think there would actully be a forum that had links to freespace and ffxi in the same place.

I loled.
Hard.
-
I remember a lot of hate for TCA and 4th back then.
-
Yeah, everyone hated the TCA because they used one of the multiplayer missions that gave the green team (teams selected by host) an advantage, and used it always as their SquadWar defense mission, when they'd be the hosts. They also usually all took fish, and spammed it to lag the other team, while the host picked them off in their packet loss hell (this was when game elements lagged the game due to the prominent days of the 56k and 128 ISDN). It's why when I ran the SSC to the top with QD, we only had 12a NWTR as our defense. No excuses, fair game, good host.
Also, they were a bunch of childish pricks, so that didn't help, G'kar "the leader" most notably, and Vertigo.
4th was hated because DW, most notably Mustang and Suzanne, lied and slandered quite a lot, and because Mustang had the SSC Black Widow reputation he didn't deserve, everyone chose to believe them instead of the 4th, plus Starlegend and Blade didn't help matters with being quite explicit and coming off as rude children, but then again they couldn't help themselves, what with being violated and betrayed by the DW top squad of perpetual asshattery.
It's quite a shame I myself took too late to getting on the 4th's side, and see they were the ones in the right (past the insults and bull****), especially since it was me personally who cost them their league victory, due to being blinded with Mustang's bull**** as well.
-

:wtf:
-
Haha, that brings back a lot of memories from the VBB Squadwar forum. I still remember Gkar and the Jefferson Davis ancestry he kept bringing up. :D
I thought 4th were the ones sending the moles into other squads, and even admitted as much. Maybe it was limited to Straykat and the others didn't know about it, or something like that. There were tons of VBB threads on that issue, although I don't know the details of what happened.
-
4th did whatever they could to make DW eat ****. All wrongdoings they did are therefore, pardoned by me. I'm just sorry I was late to the party (though QD and I were the ones to run them into the ground after we came to our senses).
-
Now those were the days and I noticed some of the evil DWs are still playing the game.
Cant forget one of the very last 2vs2 match against DW when we won critical challenge against DW. Nowhere to run and it was against MaxPain and Monty. Blade did stunning job on back and I managed to sqeeze some kills before bonus and we sure did got it.
It was damn close till last few spawns until Max dropped out, tho he managed to give some swearing in the chat before so called "lagging out". Well it was ok cause they knew and we knew match was decided already at bonus timelimit and kills were quite equal. So 30 seconds later Monty had this wierd system crash too. We waited a while on channel after the game and DW came back asking when we were going to start match. Some how Monty and Max had forgottem they just played the match... with typical outcome. Match was locked for month and me and infinity moved to Tribes 2.
Memories in Memorial... :)
-
Haha, remember Suzanne's magical lag-outs every time her Sekhmet took 8 out of 10 deaths? Always seems to lag just before the other team would win.
I'm also never going to forget my last game with them, however it was 2v4, since QD and I always used to play against 4 people due to 2 just not being a challenge. It was Mustang, Suzanne and one other cronie from DW, and some other random guy. They were using fake nicknames (that we already knew of) in order to try and beat us, then brag about it (because if it was DW, we would've given them the chance to go head to head without any help from others, and make it a clean defeat).
Obviously when we started kicking their ass left and right, and they were well into their sixth and seventh deaths, we told them we knew it was them, and menitoned just how much they suck. Suddenly three out of four players on the opposite team disconned.
Classic stuff.
-
It's all about the big bad Legion of Apocalypse. Where's ZC, Riggs, Auggie, Bearwolf and everyone else, man? It's literally been years.

There's at least one other LOA member still on this forum, Colonol Dekker (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=735) - LOA-JK47.
-
Don't forget the just for fun "squads". Remember the entities? Then there were the BDHR just for fun squad aka Monkeys.
Of course if you want to go back in time to the original squadwar there were the V squads. A short resurrection of that squad came about until someone started his old **** and got himself and his V kicked out of the BDHR.
My entire pilot list from multi.
FUBAR
FUBAR-BDHR
Killer-Monkey
AlcoholicEntity
V-FUBAR-57th
-
Killer-Monkey rings a bell,
Never saw myself saying that again.
-
BlackDove,
I'm finding it hard to follow what you're saying regarding 4th Angels. When StrayKat was leading it, we left the game because of TCA and RN cheating, not because of DW. I've been gone for a while, so maybe you're talking about when StarLegend brought 4th back. But that was never considered the "original" 4th Angels Squadron.
On a side note, what happened with Mustang? I didn't realize that everybody in SSC/SSX hated him so much. I do miss Spidar though, he was the best Black Widow. At least he was when I was helping Mustang lead the Black Widows.

Don't go bump / NEcro crazy people.
Just wondered if anyone wanted to discuss the old squads without making a new topic?
God i feel like a Pilot who was retired too early looking back through these.....
-
What did you want to discuss?
-
In the memorial spirit of course--
I just miss it all. Dang, one time (bearing in mind we were stupid nub teenagers) during a friendly against DW, a 4v4. My mate LOA--Dredd and i turned on our own wing and proceeded to eliminate everyone but DW-Suzanna and gaurded her valiantly for a whole ten minutes.
Then the she killed us . and we're were hormonally unable to fight back as she had those damned boots on.
I miss updating my pilot pic to add every rank increase or ace-badge.
See- here
(http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/8821/newjk.png)
For the record i was only a kill or two from making commander, Which will irritate the hell out of me to the grave.....
I miss the banter of the squad, and their forum in which i learned to make Flash, make squad logos, reskin fighters and embed .swf into posts.
I miss squadwar.
-
I miss squadwar.
I never had a shot at it.
Enjoyable read, though... Please continue.
-
I miss squadwar.
I have it on good authority that it will be back.
-
Sigh, it wouldn't be the same... Not without a reinstated rank and points. But i can't remember my kill count.
-
It wouldn't be the same because the people who were around back then aren't around now.
Still, nothing would stop you from rejoining....
-
I know that..........
:sigh:
Still, no reason not to think about re-forming the old squad. Would HLP be willing to provide assistance with a site? I've got a site here.
http://dekker.f-snet.com/
-
assistance with what?
-
I'm exlcusively a simple site sort of person. "Were" squadwar or an equivalent to surface.. I'd like to re-establish the LOA as a fore-runner. But i got no clue about forum management.
EDIT- apart from GD here obviously :nervous:
What i meant was i'd probably set a forum up on my site for the squad. But i'd need some top tips about it.
-
There are plenty of people here with all kinds of forum experience. Although if SW takes off, they may let squads apply for subforums here. (Hopes)
-
It'd be nice, but I wouldn't dream of adding to the run costs if I could set something up externally.
-
Well I know how to do it, and I'm pretty dumb. So I'm sure there are quite a few people here with the time.
-
BlackDove,

I've been gone for a while, so maybe you're talking about when StarLegend brought 4th back. But that was never considered the "original" 4th Angels Squadron.
Well not the orginal for sure since many of the original NA players dropped during the flamewars with TCA and RN except you and invfuture. But since TCA and RN didnt pollute EU side of the squadwars we kept the record going for a long time and flag raised high since we lost matches only rarely. For me it was always the same angels squadron nothing else. Those where the days I started playing a lot of multiplayer games and I still miss faces like ICE-4th, Hitman-4th and from later part Blade-4th.
Even had Angels Squadron team in Black Prophecy but couldnt find any other old spacesim fans there :/. Some Freedom Fighter guys where around.
But best is that dear fellow Infinity-4th from full eu team is still with me in esports genre and has been so for now over 13 years. Amazing. both of us can be found from irc: quakenet : #clan.nf
-
I also used to be in the Legion of Apocalypse. Honestly though I was more active with it in the FS1 days.
You know what else I miss? The annual FreeSpace Frenzy.
-
Oh, I didn't know this thread was here.
I remembered the LOA, they recruited members like mad. I used to be a member of the Hellcats [HC]. They wern't a very big squad, or good for that matter, but they were a friendly bunch.
Then there was the Darkwing squad [DW], they were good right?
I actually think I remembered seeing Fubar's name back then. He used to be into flying vasudan bombers right?
