Hi All,
I never really 'joined' the clan, us modders always had a habit of floating around, are any of my maps still played on any servers? (I think tobruk, forgotten town and bio found their way in to your rotations on occasion?
I tried to install the updated Ren a couple of years back but I just couldn't connect to the online games despite doing all the trouble shooting so I gave up
Time has gone way too fast 10 years ago feels quite recent
I remember some of the regular players I usually bumped in to online, Saga, crazyfulla, kickdown, UKsrene(Lurker?) to name a few, fun times!
You may remember Jeeprubi? another modder, the guy really upped his modelling skills and now works in the games industry last I heard he was at Crytek I think
I'm trying to start my own mobile games company, should be putting out my first game in a few months, one man band like, very taxing indeed
Sorry to hear about you and your wife's cancer Wyld1USA. My current partner survived stage 3 breast cancer and she has been clear for nearly 5 years, so I have an idea of how tough it can be. It was the worst type so being clean after that long is very positive for her going forward, wish you the best.
I got in to steam and play all manner of games on there, add me if you like, my steam name is "HyperSlug" (the one with the cartoon slug avatar)
Electronic Beers to all .... where's the beer emoji gone! ha!

Not been on the forums for years and then a notification pops up that brought a whole bunch of good memories flooding back! Halo, your maps were fantastic, Forgotten Town was one of my favourites. UN was my very first gaming clan, and what a clan to have as your first! We were d**n good weren't we?

Wyld, sorry to hear about the cancer, be strong, you can beat it! I too went through the fight. its great to hear from older members who have dropped out of sight. though many of the faces have changed, the clan still active. not much renegade going on these days... but we got a lot of other games we indulge in. Thanks for the kind words. Just had a lower EUS friday to see what we hoped was a dead tumor reduced from when radiation started and we did. So all good news for being done here soon. I have one more surgery to get that out then quarterly checks for the next 5 years. Sorry to hear you had this too but glad you can wear the purple proudly being a survivor. Looking forward to being able to wear that color.
BTW I tried to join the new forums I think twice now, no one approving accounts? Admins slacking? lol Was trying to stop by and say hi there. Found this old link and thread and thought why not say it here and see who shows up. Maybe recruit for the new chapter.

Wyld, so glad to hear you're a survivor! Man oh man sounds like you've been through the wringer! You sent me an email under the username DannyTheDog1, well it's me, whipchain! I miss the old days greatly, still play ren every few days for a while using reenlist. Built this awesome overpowered machine, i7-4790k overclocked, just got rx480 8gb vid card, to play ren, lol. Donut (my son) is doing great, he's a junior at Northwestern University, majoring in economics and psychology. My daughter graduated a couple years ago from Augustana College in Rock Island, IL. Wife and I (married 28yrs this may)are now empty nesters, boy the time flies.. See you on the battlefield, hopefully!

Wow, long time no see. Always enjoyed your maps, you and Titan were probably the best mappers back then. Weren't you also responsible for the warpath and reborn mods? I remember trying out the map Arid with the hidden elements you put in, that was pretty cool. Do you have a website for your new company? PS. Didn't you make the maps Utah and Damm as well?

Yeah.. It's been longer than awhile. π I pray for your speedy and smooth recovery.. Everyone is getting busy with their life, career and stuff.. Recently, I got short interest span on games and tend to just touch and go, trying new games out and moving on.. Hope to see you guys around soon!

It's nice to see some of the old people on here still. I only really see thomasemperor on Facebook book. I miss you guys. I have been working a lot for a power company in town. I work 50+hours week and have done that for about 2 years now. Did 80 the past 3weeks. So I have not had much down time. I'm going to be taking some trips going to Canada in April. And might be going to see Thomas in May. I have been trying to open a winery. I want to make winery and beer there. I have been making it for years and everyone says I need to sale it so I might try that this year if able. It's good to hear from you all. If and one wants to find me on other games search for "hotbodkev" and send me a message of who you are.

I remember trying out the map Arid with the hidden elements you put in, that was pretty cool. Do you have a website for your new company? PS. Didn't you make the maps Utah and Damm as well? Someone else called Genocide started the Warpath Mod (even though I am noted as the founder here! www.moddb.com/mods/renegade-1942-dawn-of-destruction ) unfortunately the people doing the characters, vehicles and weapons dropped out so he shut it down, I had made 4 maps that I then converted to renegade versions so they didn't go to waste. (Tobruk, Forgotten Town, Hybrid Forest and DM Utah - I had to look up some of these names! - I forgot them!) I did join Reborn for a short while, worked on a model and a map then the producer dropped out and handed the job over to me (I don't think I had been there long), I spent most of the time organising and putting together a work flow to ensure we could work efficiently. Organising the masses of files, and try to put our ideas together in one document as thoughts and ideas often got buried in the forum and forgotten. Unfortunately open discussion of ideas and direction bizarrely wasn't taken very well by most staff and everyone thought that the discussions about ideas that might of been way of in the future were essentially set in stone, or how we could modify the design of the units and vehicles so that we could build on the gameplay experienced in Renegade not just clone it, unfortunately, clone it, was where the majority wanted to take it and the project didn't really have any appeal to me after that, so I moved on. Glad you enjoyed Arid No website yet, Just working on the game for now, will post here when done. It's a casual game so don't know if it will appeal to anyone here mind Yeah I forgot about DM Utah! but Damm was someone else

I think I'm the only player to get banned from the UN server, then become a clan member. Wow, that was so long ago. I'm still at the same trucking company since 1986, still have the same wife since 1987, she also work's at the same company since 1997. Got one kid out of the house. He works on wind turbine transmissions in IL for a German company. Funny thing, he went to UTI to be a diesel technician. But I still have two twenty-something kids that won't leave. One manages a pet store and my youngest goes to community college, wants to be a daycare teacher. She also works with my wife and I. But it's all good, they clean the gutters, mow the lawn, etc and more importantly, come home with beer for me . So I can't complain. Only two Ren servers survive for teamplay. But there are two other servers for one Co-op and the other you battle mutants. I try to play everyday during my lunch hour. My kids bust my chops for still playing Ren and say I have to evolve into the 21st Century and play other games. Phooey on them.
