BkW's untold history since September 22, 2005

I'VE BEEN POSTING UPDATES TO THIS POST ALL THROUGHOUT THIS THREAD. 8-)


latest update: http://blitzdod.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... t=30#p5525


September 22, 2005: this is the date I uploaded the first blitz motd to the world on Deviant Art. It was approximately a week before DoD:s came out. Initially the blitz server was called maxX's server and was hosted by Jolt Servers. Immediately the server was full all the time because I made sure I was hosting one of the first servers to go online.

After a day of DoD:s being out I changed the server to BLITZKRIEG WHORES 18+ when I gained FTP access. At this point in time no custom maps had been made for DoD:s yet. Some of the first blitz admins were Bunneh, Mahdi, Schultz (dirt nap), Pogue Mahone, Sweep the leg Johnny!, Chesty la Rue and *nix, Felcaster, Church, and 9.MM.

The server was then upgraded to 32 player slot from a 24 one. When custom maps were first starting to arrive we added Hypr to the team (the maker of dod_castle_b5). At this point I ended up opening a second blitz server, but it was hard to keep it full all the time like our main server. This ended up dividing the clan and made the game not as enjoyable for me, so I shut down our second server after a month or so.

Some time in 2006 Jolt Servers then became completely unreliable and blitz had died for several months, spawning the birth of a new clan called Hogan's Hoes (=HH=). This clan was made up mostly of blitz orphans and was run by Hogan. About 6 months had passed and I decided to run blitz again, this time with Nuclear Fallout as our host.

In October 2007 blitz took charge of being an online voice of fairness against the abusive tactices the Q clan were doing to steal all of the DoD:s players. Read more about it in these threads I made here:

http://bloodroyal.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2817
http://www.prisonerofwarclan.com/forums ... 6f87f01ae5

This actually strengthened the core DoD:s servers into becoming allies, starting the great friendship with the BR clan that lasted quite some time.

In November 2007 blitz was ranked #1 in the world according to gametracker.com, based on server population. This was entirely with the help of our players and admins, because we ran no bots and had honor in our server, nor did we run redirect servers.

Late 2007 is also when I first started going to college - signaling the beginning of the end of me leading blitz. In 2008 I handed the server over to Hoju, who at the time had time to be the leader. I was always uber busy and was bad at communication with her, so DeUltimaPunisher and Tommy2Fingers helped her out with the technical side of the clan. Eventually she handed the clan over to them!

Maybe Punisher can add more to the history since then; Kurt feel free to edit this post to add your input!

Great post Maxx :D

Just about to hit my 3yr anniversary - No matter what new fad in online gaming arises, BkW and Blitz remains the best group of online buddies you can ever ask for...

Thanks all for keeping the server strong, admins, ubers and leaders past and present.

:clap: :clap: :clap:

N1 Maxx !

Holy fuck Cougar - I didn't know you were bluntforce! Yeah I miss the mario_air days. I used to always get breakfast burritos because Panzer did too. That was back when drunken aim used to play religiously also. That and legoland. Proof that blitz was for the fun of the game. I've always been a firm believer that taking dod:s too seriously was boring (scrimming and leagues) lol.

Also here's the image of when blitz was #1 in November 2007

good ole BR... We had a great relationship with Blitz and played here quite often....

I was glad to be welcomed to Blitz when BR DODS disbanned as did many others.

[-Q-] really screwed everyone... I'm glad BLITZ survived and is still going strong!

:evil: Wow hard to believe it has been five years of fun and drinking and other things while playin Dod:S on the BkW // server. I have forgoten much and remember little and the one thing that I will always remember is that I hold this server this clan all the players and members in highest reguard. MaxX Great post. I have had many great days and nights with all of you. As the leaders and admins change, the atmosphere and heart of what maxX started still survives, being a great place to play and kill time where everyone is welcome and there are few rules. "If you break the rules you will hear about it", A place where adults and players under 18 "if they do not talk" can congrigate and blow off some steam in a safe Enviroment well unless you sydonym is Hypra :evil:


Thanks Whores for all the good times :twisted:

yeah I was part of Q until I found out what they were about and called the owner quisos(spelling) a little bitch fag and he banned me. LOL I guess he proved my point. Good thing I found Blitz and Q died because of it.

The leader of Q was a goof. I once sent him a demo of a hacker and i (mistakenly) uploaded it to my own webspace that my provider gives me. Douchebag, posted private things from that on the forums on Q and I told him to remove it and he just laughed.

He lives in my city, and i'm itching for the chance to goto a Q meet ;)
