You're already got a lock on "Best in Class: Cyber-Stalker". Are you trying for some kind of lifetime achievement award? :) It still pains me that this groups is dead. We had some good laughs. I still harbor fond memories of the "Derek Smart and Toadies vs. Detractors" Unreal Tournament. Of course, the idea was actually better than the event -- IIRC it was Lemming's idea and Derek Smart reluctantly agreed, but since no actual Toadies could be found I volunteered to be a designated Toadie. As it turned out, Derek Smart was a no-show and I didn't have the proper maps installed, so the "Tournament" ended up being Brad Martin vs. Lemming with me mercilessly pinging the server out of frustration. I think you'll agree, this event was a fine distillation of much that was good about c.s.i.p.g.s-s. Bret
