It's the holidays. Time to remember things, like that epic basenade you pulled off on someone's server, or the moment you first laid your eyes upon the granger and heard its gurgling. Tremulous is dead, but it still lives on in our memories, and many of us originate from the Tremulous community.
The FSW server. A place of fun times. Headed by the elusive AlienEx. Flames was a true member as well (I’m sure Kynes was a frequent visitor too). The server had a huge peak where a lot of people played. Some may refer to it as the 'noob' server but it was a place where seriousness dispersed and fun overwhelmed. Everyone wanted to bear the {FSW} title. A fresh variety of maps was also shown (most of my own as I was the server mapper). The server qvm featured a lot of new admin controls never seen before. Some of the most pronounced was map integrated functions, lucifunk (make luci bounce of walls) and give weapons. Give weapons allowed for aliens to wield human weapons and humans to… well... gain alien abilities…
FSW server declined just as Tremulous did. To those who remember it please rejoice with the memories.
I remember this one night on an unlimited buildpoints server. There must have been like 40 people on the server and we where playing Pulse.
That one game literally took about 4 hours.
Never again did I have the same experiance communicating where to put new forward bases, which forward base was being attacked, where to send backup, concentrate fire on this seemingly undestroyable alien forward base. It was glorious, absolutely fantastic.
There's a 1.1 server from like 2009 or 2010 or so.... it gave you the ability to do !weapons and !upgrades. This allows you to for example, have a tyrant's body, the ability to get a dretch bite, and get a bunch of grenades [30 or so] and a jetpack.
Fkin... I totally remembered seeing that a few years ago....
Also, due to the fact my username is often "ViruS", googlead(sense) provides me with virus-related ads.
e.g. on [W]onderland's forum:
