Well I've been around for a really long time, and I can tell you a thing or two about Kill Us Quickly. I can't really remember what day it was exactly, I think it was a Saturday evening or a Sunday evening, and I went online to play TFC as-per usual. Since my computer was a laggy POS way back in the day, I decided to look for some servers with a low max players, preferably ones with 8 or 12 players. So anyways, I find this server. The name of it I can't quite recall either, to be honest, but I joined up. Started playing with a few people that were already in the server. DEATH and AMANDA were inside playing, but I didn't know them at the time. So anyways we got to talking. I ended up learning that KuQ was one of those "just for fun" clans that wasn't really serious. The idea caught my eye, so I decided what the hell. I might as well join and we'd have our own server and everything. So I became a KuQ member. I learned about Hypno toad, who at the time was a member of CB| and also lived in a house with Amanda and Death. So I kept going back to play almost every day, and boy did we have fun. That 8 player server was really fast too, for the most part.
Then other members came soon after, like Candyman, and Drunken Sailor (who I never really saw a whole hell of a lot of back then), Spaniard (some asshole kid with a fisher price 14.4K modem), and *SonicBlast*, the EMP fanatic. Those were our starting members. Not soon later, we started recruiting on Sundays. I remember REMY joining up at one of our first tryouts, it was cool because we never had a Demoman specialist before him. We recruited REMY in one of our periods where we were looking at what classes we were lacking in our players, and we decided demoman was one of those classes we were really short on. And we always played against Crimson Blade. They were our rivals back then and they always owned us pretty bad, but it just made us want to do better. I can't remember if he put admin mod on before or after we got our new server up, but oh my stars it was the funniest thing ever. Admin_Llama was the hottest thing since firecrackers. We couldn't get enough of that "Bleeeat!!" and "Ooorgle!!" At least I couldn't. I thought it was absolutely hilarious. We had our fun with that, and we had our fun with admin_slay, admin_slayteam, and admin_teleport (particularly on 2fortsniper). When we got our new server, I think thats what it took to make us decide to play for the competition. We had been practicing and we wanted to show the world what we knew how to do. So we got our own IRC channel, made ourselves a nice webpage, and started getting to business. Tryouts on Saturdays and practices on Sunday, with small Scrimmages here and there. We picked up some quality members around this time (BOO, who I'll be the first to admit I never thought he would be as good as he is now, he totally rocks now and I thank our lucky stars we picked him up; we also picked up Aimbot aka FuknRekd, Keeper, and Havoc). And we also picked up this idiot 12 year old kid who had a love crush on Amanda. His name was like The Marks Man, or something like that. Death kicked him because he kept sending Amanda emails telling her that he loved her. It was hilarious. And then later we joined OGL, then STA for a while. We've gotten a lot better, and we've really come a long way. It's been fun, too, no doubt to that, even though all of our members have had their own share of problems every now and then, I think it's been worth it. |
