Merry christmas and happy newyear everybody!

Ok. First of all, let's hope the year 2003 (which begins soon) will be a good year for the clan! As a good ending of the year 2002, CC had a clanwar with TRC (The Rapid Clan). Nazgul, Gale, Stunner, Bolt, Neo and me were the CC members present, but only 2 of us got to fight. Nazgul and me were the lucky ones. We were supposed to do 2 rounds with each 3 CC members, but because TRC ran out of members, we had to do a emergency-strategy. We were supposed to do Stunner + Bolt + Gale in round 1 and Nazgul + CraccoBoy + Neo in round 2. TRC was going to have a warteam with 3 people, but unfortunately, their leader Nick had problems with his firewall. So, Darker and Saber played. Darker was good, but Saber really lacked in skill, so CC won with 5-0. I'm glad that their leader, Nick, took the defeat nicely and we're still friends on MSN. Good game TRC! Darker, TRC's best member, joined CC after the war. He is good in CTF, but even better in Battle. Very nice.

Unfortunately, Tman left CC and joined DK. And so did Nimrod (Nimrod was too unactive to be a CC, let alone to be a ECC). But oh well. CC now has 20 active members and 3 unactive members.

Like I said, the year 2002 is coming to an end now. I'm sure that this has been the best year for CC so far (hopefully 2003 will be even better!). We played a lot of wars this year, and lost NONE of them. Nazgul wants to use a new rule in the year 2003, a rule that gives all CC the chance to enter the warteam, by duelling one of the current warteam members and winning TWICE in a row. Read the CCMB, the ECC Discussions Forum for more information about that. We, the elites are still voting about it. If this rule gets accepted, then it will be called the Nazgul-Pact. Currently, our warteam for the year 2003 is planned to be Nazgul, Kill and myself, and Bolt, Neo and Tidus as reserve-players. But maybe our warteam will get improved soon. Greetings.




GoldRabbit + Profiles

GoldRabbit joined our clan. Formerly, he was a member of the Xtreme Bunnies (XD). Another important happening. We're going to update the CC member list so that there's a button near each member and if you click on that you get a pop-up or a page with details about that person and a real-life photograph. This is basically for the ECC members, but all normal CC members who want to, can have the same thing.




CC site has changed hosts

Hi, today the CC site well be changed of hosts , the URL will remain the same ( www.craccoclan.cjb.net ) only will it be hosted by Q , ( thank you for that Q) it could be that there are some troubles , I am sorry for that then , but it won't be that long.

First of all, the ranking system is now almost totally gone. You can either be CC or ECC (check out the CCMB for more information about ECC), and there are 3 special people in the clan, a Leader, a CoLeader and a GameLeader. Q got promoted to Elite Cracco Clan member, and Viper has rejoined CC after a very long time of being gone (at Nexus). Mariek also joined us.




Hello

Hello. I want to start off by saying that after a very long time of being in the clan, URjazz left us. Also, Tidus is set on unactive for a while, and ET is demoted to normal member because he's not online enough or posting at CCMB (to show that he IS active). Bolt thought of a plan about the rights of the ECC members, and the plan is in use now. Go to the CCMB, Cracco Clan Talk, for more information.
CC has challenged GpW (which is revived) to a clanwar, and some other clans. Let's hope they'll accept, we could use some good practice and fun, it's been a while since we had a clanwar.

Small update. I'd like to say that CraccoBoy's computer broke down so it needed to be fixed. In the four days of his absence, I replaced him. When CraccoBoy returns, he'll be leader again. Now that we have a fine message board, it's time to focus on training again, we'll soon have clanwars again! That's all this time..




Q and CCMB
posted on 29 July 2002
by Chiyu

Say farewel to Moonblaze. Jman and Black Ninja left as well, but we also got a new member; Q (read his profile on CCMB for more details about him, or check out the introduction post he made). About the Message Board. It's going very well with it. Just when I'm writing this it already has 51 members, and 2094 articles. There are plenty of interesting forums, and a good team of moderators (Neo and me are the administrators); Tidus, Moonblaze, Assassin, Razz, Nimrod, Coolman, Trafton, Alberto and Avatar. Every time when there are 10 or 20 new members, I'll make a new forum, so check it out often!
The ranking system changed. We don't need that many ranks, so all ranks have been removed except Private, Sergeant and Chief, and the 3 very important ranks, Leader, CoLeader and GameLeader.

Some stuff to say. The planned clanwar with KK couldn't be played because KK died before we were going to do the war. Instead, as Neo stated, two other clanwars have been held instead. Now, about the members of our clan. A lot have joined and left, and demoted/promoted. Some major changes: ET has been promoted to Private, Neo to CoLeader and Tidus to GameLeader. Coolman, Queen Liz and some others left. And, Jman and Sand/Oldflame are now trial members. Oh yea, and we have a new logo/flag too.

Cracco Clan Forever!
posted on 29 March 2002
by Chiyu

Yesterday, 28 March, was a important day for our clan. Two very old members of the Cracco Clan came back, and they'll probably rejoin CC (JoostV and Anubis Boboo). And, it looks like some other old members are going to return. I'm talking about Gale, Ice and maybe some other people from the old clan TEC. I talked with Ice and she said that they'll be active on JJ2 again and won't revive TEC, but try to rejoin CC, and stay in that for the rest of their gaming carreer. This is all because of the clan GpW died, this is the clan which caused TEC to die, and most of their members to leave in the first place, and now that GpW's gone, more oldies will come back. GpW is leaving JJ2, and I want to say something about that. GpW hasn't been a too friendly clan, Shadow has been a arrogant leader, he was lying almost all the time when talking about clan-related stuff (CC, TEC, CTU etc.). I've got a proof of this. The CC member Neo gave me a chatlog of a chat with Shadow. In this he says that he hasn't cloned any CC members at all, but this has already been proved, I took screenshots of the IP, and that matches Shadow's IP (he didn't back then, and probably still doesn't have a dynamic IP). In this chat he's also denying that it's also because of him that some old Jazz2 players have left the community, but they've SAID that it was due to Shadow's evil actions. But most of the people who're reading this already know this information, so I'll stop talking. I could upload the interview and screenshots/proofs sometime if anyone's interested. But still, I wish GpW, and all their members good luck in the other games they're playing/going to play now, it wasn't their fault that Shadow was behaving that bad and sneaky.

PS: special thanks to Alberto for fixing some problems with this site!




EL & KK
posted on 20 March 2002
by Chiyu

Unfortunately, the clanwar vs. EL couldn't be played due to EL's lack of online fighters. The only EL who was online and able to participate during the clanwar was BunnyElmer. Ofcourse, the CC warteam was present, including some back-up players (about 4). The clanwar vs. KK will most likely go smoothly. Because of timezone problems, it can't be tomorrow, but we've delayed it till next week or two weeks later. No other unusual stuff, except for the fact that there are a whole lot of new Cracco levels.




1, new member and 2, upcoming clanwars!
posted on 17 March 2002
by Chiyu

Queen Liz has joined our clan after passing the tryouts. Let's hope she'll be a loyal and active member! She's 14 years old, and lives in Rivendell, USA.

Also very important, there are two upcoming wars for CC. One will be played today, Sunday, vs. EL (Empire of Light). It will be a 3 vs. 3 CTF match in the level Capture3 (Diamondus Warzone). The CC warteam for this war will probably be Tidus, Nazgul and me. The war will be at 7 PM (GMT!). And, next week (probably Thursday) there will be another friendly war, against KK (Killer Kings). It will probably be a 3 vs. 3 or 4 vs. 4. More information will be posted here soon. That's all for today!




Tidus the Vice-GameLeader
posted on 14 March 2002
by Chiyu

There were some serious problems with the updating of the site, we changed servers, and now it all works fine again. Anyway, Tidus is now the Vice-GameLeader of CC, hopefully he'll be useful to me, to Jazz and to the whole clan CC. His tasks contain training, testing members, organising events and helping other CC's with their jobs. There's more news. BunnyElmer, Sauron and Steelix have left CC, and Catz, Shiverz, Ricky and Nimrod joined.

This time there's also some important non-CC related news. Two clans which used to be allied with us; TEC (The Elemental Clan) and Tbt (The Bunny TEC) have merged to become the new clan EL (Empire of Light). EL is leaded by Bolt (old leader of TEC) and BunnyElmer (old leader of Tbt). Ofcourse, EL is allied with CC now. We're planning to do a friendly clanwar against them sometime.




Hooray for Jazz!
posted on 7 February 2002
by Chiyu

I know it took long for new news to come, but that's because no unusual, interesting stuff happened lately. I'll announce the results of the Gameleader votings now. Jazz is the lucky winner, he'll be the CC GameLeader for 3 months or for 6 (that depends...). Let's hope he does a fine job. If he doesn't do his work well (training members, organising events, doing tryouts etc.) then he'll be fired. This month all ECC members can vote (or become candidate) about who the Vice-Gameleader must be. The Vice-Gameleader must be a good JJ2 player who'll mostly help the GameLeader with his tasks, but also take actions himself. The GameLeader himself (Jazz) can vote twice for the Vice-Gameleader, because that person will be important for him too. Something not that important, and not CC related either... The two new JJ2 Gamemodes 'LMS' and 'Warfare' are functioning well, I suggest you try them out sometime.




So who will it be huh?
posted on 26 January 2002
by Chiyu

It's time to vote for the new GameLeader. You can choose between the old one, Hellraiser and Jazz (old UR leader). These are both loyal and trustfull members, so I can't make a suggestion. Only ECC members can vote. If you've made a decision about who to choose, E-mail me. I, won't vote, and the candidates can't vote either. You have till next Saturday to vote, but please hurry.




Cracco ...
posted on 20 January 2002
by Chiyu

I Just want to say that jackass and me created a new gamemode with an example level. I won't spoil everything here, but you will probably see it on JJ2.

And that's not all. ET and Jackass both succesfully joined CC (they both play TSF and 1.23).




Downloads down
posted on 17 January 2002
by Chiyu

I'm sorry, the downloads may be down right now. Kill and me are working on this problem, stay tuned! Another forum has been added to our message board, the a forum where you can talk about non-JJ2 related things. The terms of use are also posted now. Please follow them to keep this a nice place.




The Forum!
posted on 15 January 2002
by Chiyu

Yesterday the Cracco Clan Message Board was completed. Today, I added it here. It's not only for Cracco Clan members, everone is welcome. The Clan-Chat forum will be the most important one, it's there to talk about the Cracco Clan, and for CC members to make announcements or something. It'll be moderated by Kill, Alberto (technical forum) and myself. I don't think I'll go to any other JJ2 related message boards anymore.




No real clanwar...
posted on 14 January 2002
by Chiyu

Yesterday, the clanwar vs. DB wasn't played, and I am very angry because of their lameness. Here's what they did. The clanwar was supposed to be at 7 o' clock PM (GMT), and everbody understood, and both the clans were able to come. But if the clanwar has to start at 7 PM, both the warteams must be ready in the server about 15 minutes before. At 6:50, there weren't any DB's online (not in JJ2 either), though all the CC members were already ready. There were even some Cracco Clan members extra, in case one of us had to go, he/she could be replaced. At a quarter past 7, the first DB members appeared; their leader Catz DB. She needed time to search for her members, and even had to recruit some new members in JJ2. After a while she got one, her friend C3PO. We made a server to wait for the DB members, and we were relieved that DB finally came, we wouldn't have to wait much longer then.

When they found a third member, we thought everbody was ready, so the host hosted the server for the clanwar. All CC members entered the server and were getting ammo and getting ready for the clanwar. Instead of 4 vs. 4 we had to do 3 vs. 3 because there weren't enough DB members. But the trouble wasn't over yet. Their third member just went away, and C3PO and Catz were waiting in the server for a new third member. But Catz and C3PO were killing all blue team members (Cracco Clan = blue), so they had to collect new ammo again, AND they were already capturing the flag and scoring points.

We had to reserver. When it was getting 8 o' clock (GMT), the needed member appeared. But they continued killing and capturing before we started, and then when the DB's calmed down, and everbody was ready, Catz said: I GTG BYE!!!, after that she laughed and started swearing me at MSN, and before I could say anything back, she went offline. I have proofs of the things DB did, screenshots and a chat log.

Also some good news. Sebzero became a trial member (BC) for one week. But he's not the only new member. Check out the Member List!

Greetings.

Stuff
posted on 12 January 2002
by Chiyu

Some stuff to tell today. I'm writing this exactly one hour before the clanwar CC vs. Tbt, this evening, good luck to both the warteams of CC and Tbt. Now about the real news. Tidus has earned himself a promotion to Private, that means he is in ECC now. Being in ECC will give you a special right this month, I'll talk about that later.

Sauron, Steelix and Gargoyle, the three new members all succesfully passed the trial time. I welcome them to our clan. And, Flame and Armageddon entered BC, about them will be decided later. Since the site is open for public, we have to try out more players than before.

You may have heard it already, but this there will be votings for a new Gameleader, like every 6 months. Hellraiser, the old Gameleader will automatically be a candidate again. It is unknown yet who'll be the other candidates, but only people with the rank Sergeant or higher can be candidates. Only people who're Elite (Private and higher) may vote for a new Gameleader.

That's all. Tomorrow, or today I'll post the results of the friendly clanwar.




New members
posted on 10 January 2002
by Chiyu

Hi, only something about our new members this time. You may have seen 3 names added (in light blue) to our memberlist. Blue means they're actually trial members, BC (Beginning Craccos), they're not real members of the Cracco Clan yet. If they behaved and played well this week, then they'll pass the trial status, and become (in white) Cracco Clan members. Saturday, I'll decide if I let them in or not. The three members are; Gargoyle (from the old CTU clan SB/CW), Sauron and Steelix (from the old CTU clan FC).




Bad and good things
posted on 7 January 2002
by Chiyu

Today the school started again for me, sigh, that sucks. However, I'll still update this site often, especially the news section. It's important, because there'll be two important happenings this week. I'll talk about that later in this article.

First I want to say that the Info and Games sections are as good as finished. When the Cracco Clan officially expands to another game, I'll update the Games section. Info will be updated after a matter of time (history), or when there are important rule or rank changes.

It won't take long now until the site becomes open for public, and the URL will be spread out. As soon as possible a forum will be added to this (the one and only) official Cracco Clan site.

Now about the two happenings. This week, there will be two friendly clanwars, one against Tbt, one against DB. We challenged both the clans, and they both accepted. The leaders of the clans Tbt and DB are nice persons, and I don't expect any problems with them (unlike JOL). The clanwar vs. Tbt will be Saturday, 7 PM (GMT!), DB will be Sunday, 7 PM (GMT!) as well. I'm almost done selecting a efficient warteam for the clanwars. The clanwars will not have the same warteam though, more people must get the chance to play. It is still unknown whether it's 2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3 or 4 vs. 4, but the level it will be played in is Diamondus Warzone, with the cheap stuff removed. People who want to be in the CC warteam (for more wars) have to be very good in CTF, and if you think you are a very good CTF player, contact me.

That's all for today. Regards.




A new victory... and more
posted on 5 January 2002
by Chiyu

On January the third, CC had a friendly match with TNC. Though I wasn't able to attend, I planned the war, and COOLM@N and Joker, the warteam members did a fine job. CC won in Diamondus Warzone, with 10-0. Alberto hosted the game for us, so I would like to thank him too. Nothing between CC and TNC changed after the war, we were good friends and allies, and we still are.

Click here to see a picture of during the clanwar:
http://213.141.41.33:10050/CCVSTNC.jpg

I, CraccoBoy, have had some problems with my PC lately, that is also why I couldn't come online during the clanwar. A few days ago, I got infected by a virus, which came by Kazaa. The virus is called CIH, it's very dangerous. A computer company had to disinfect my PC and format it. Now I don't have many files yet, but I already managed to get JJ2, some JJ2 related files, and more back.

Also, Joker CC has became our new Member Trainer, so if you'd like to get better in CTF or battle, contact him. Remember, it's never too late to learn and you can always improve! aenls@kabelfoon.nl
