...people who run their own public or private gaming servers. I'm writing
an article about it. I'd like to talk to people willing to be quoted by
name, and I want to include your age, occupation and the community where you
live.
This is for real; here's my latest article, about the use of Apple Macs as
game machines. Check it out.

If you'd like to participate, please contact me by e-mail ASAP. Thanks
much.

Anyone want to contact this guy and extol the virtues of TCS/PCS and its impact on the gaming community?
All publicity is good publicity, as they say...

this will need a responsible adult such as oldie or tealeaf, I tend to spit and swear when talking to journalists and people in management.
I am used to handling reporters from work. I think it is a good idea.
I nominate TeaLeaf. :P
I'll email them then shall I?
If I hear nothing by the end of the night then I'll assume that it is OK to go talk to them!

QuoteFAO:Â Hiawatha Bray, Tech Reporter, Boston Globe:
Hi, I am responding to your request for people who run their own public or private gaming servers and who'd be willing to talk about it for your article.
I am co-leader of the clan -=[dMw]=- (which stands for Dead Men Walking) and community which is known as MeatHook TCS. In addition to the usual clan competition, MeatHook TCS is a thriving e-community of like-minded people.
- We (The MeatHook) are a non-profit community supported by the donated bandwidth and rack space of two of our members. www.deadmen.co.uk (http://www.deadmen.co.uk/)
- The community enjoys playing MeatHook TCS - or Tactical Counter-strike - a game where the first objective is to help your team, then to achieve the objective (solo frag-hunters are not welcome!). Voice coms are paramount.
[/b]
- We have several hundred registered members of the MeatHook TCS community (we are just re-branding as TCS having been known as PCS for a long time) from across the UK, Europe, Canada and the USA.
[/b]
- Our members range in age from about 14 through to 64 years old.
[/b]
- We hold regular LAN parties for members to meet and socialise.
[/b]
- We have one of the most active forums you'll find that it is not on a commercial website, with almost 30,000 posts in 18 months. http://forum.deadmen.co.uk (http://forum.deadmen.co.uk/)
- The forums provide discussion and comment on a diverse range of topics, not just computer gaming!
[/b]
- We have an active Folding team (Folding@Home for medical research), currently ranked 555th worldwide but expected to break into the top 100 by the year's end.
[/b]
- As a result of our core values and ethical standards, the -=[dMw]=- clan has one of *the best* reputations for mature attitudes and comrardery within the competitive clan ladders and leagues.
[/b]
- We operate 2 servers for our members without charge (the servers provide 'MeatHook TCS' and are called 'Homer' and 'Baldric')
[/b]
- Funds for new server hardware was raised incredibly quickly by our members when needed last year.
[/b]
We think that your readers would be interested in the international and community aspect of MeatHook TCS - we have a *real* friendly buzz to everything we do.
My details:
If you decide to call or fax, please remember that in the UK we are 5 hours ahead of you!
I hope to speak to you soon!
Regards.
