'The Roost' is no more.

Rooster · 14th Mar 2001, 11:06 PM

You'll want to take it out of your Favorites list and off your UT Watcher.

I want to thank the hundreds of players for the thousands (8350 to be exact) of games played on The Roost. I'm glad I could help provide a fun, challenging environment for players.

May I suggest Blatanizer's PukeStain - 64.52.83.170, or The Web 209.83.223.253 - for a fun game?

If you're into DM - try Free Beer! 128.208.57.166

You'll find me on those.

Anyway... as they say - Thanks for the memories.

Thanks Rooster!! It wassome fun games I had there!!

*Morety* · 15th Mar 2001, 12:06 AM

Well, I had some great times on that server, and lost a few hours of my life thanks to you.

Thank you for all you've done.

May the Roost rest in peace.

Roo, your server helped me become the player I am....
Kick @ss server. Gonna miss it, especially all the good peeps who played there. Thanx A MILLION!!!
Now, there are no quality servers in my faves that I ping well on.

What am I gonna do? Wait till 2 am to play on Swine?
What happened to the server? Did we toast it?

Too much of me, heh?
*sigh*, I need a good east coast server with good challenge... Any suggestions?

wiggum_pi · 15th Mar 2001, 02:16 AM

I still remember when the server opened last year. I remember playing some kickass games with yall on it

. It was there that I first learned of RuffRider's talent...

I've had many fun games on the Roost. Too bad it's gone. *sigh*
May it rest in peace and loads of thx to ya Roo, for serving the community with such a great server.

]Ui[duo · 15th Mar 2001, 02:35 AM

not to get off topic but i was listening to Opus 40(Mercury Rev) when checking what y'all said and it was kind of sad *snif snif

Try it

Perfect melody for this kind of mushy stuff.
I better go, I am getting kind of misty

I say we all get drunk and look back on the good ol' dayz....... can someone smuggle me a drink while you're at it

*sniff. My CTF baby steps server. *sniff

WebSlinger · 15th Mar 2001, 07:54 AM

PuF and #planetunreal will not be the same without the Roost. I know I didn't play a whole heck of a lot on it (just a few games) but playing there was a big eye opener, when I left Bollwerk with like -4 frags I thought wow. When I got my first cap in Dreary it was a confidence builder.

And let's not forget the "cleanliness" of the server. Roo tried his best to get rid of tha llamas and idiots who would otherwise just vandalise the server.

Thanks for the p1mpage for my (ahem, er, your) server The Web, which will always continue to have your name in the MOTD as long as I admin it for all the help you put into getting The Web playable.

I will not run Carry the Flag as often (only during midday), so PuF'ers can have a decent CTF server in the mid-USA

how many times have we said it? I'll say it again... "Thanks Roo"

Try 950 clan official server #1. I'm in Toronto, and I get great pings there. There's usually a good mix of MyU guys and 950 clanners with some cool maps. The server's nice and crisp with compressed re-directed downloads. The competition's not as great as swine for obvious reasons, but I've had some really challenging games there. Great attitudes by the players as well.

Zaccix · 15th Mar 2001, 08:44 AM

I remember when Ci started out last year and we needed a server for practices and matches. Rooster stepped in to help and lent us The Roost a few times. Thanks

GG Roost.

Swedix · 15th Mar 2001, 09:10 AM

Sad, sad.
When i finally got a decent connection "The Roost" goes down.
I have often seen in my UT Browser a lot of people from PU playing there but my ping was allways around 350 -400 so I wouldn't join.
So sad

Peregrine · 15th Mar 2001, 09:36 AM

I still think it should have been called "The Coop". Come on, Roosters' don't live in .. well.. Roosts'! Hehehe
That's more for a PEREGRINE!

"Fare thee well, The Roost!"

bushwacker · 15th Mar 2001, 10:08 AM

GGs Roo, thanks for all the help you've given Ci, your legend lives on at The Web.

UnrealGrrl · 15th Mar 2001, 10:25 AM

sorry to see one of the few really good tuff servers with great rotation and players go... you will be missed!

GunnerX · 15th Mar 2001, 10:34 AM

Nooooo!!!! *sob*

I have to say thanks for Everything Rooster. The Roost was the very first server in my fave list and will always remain as my fave. I will truly miss my <100 pings there, and the occasional 6000+ ping.

Thanks again Roo for providing muTTs a server for matches.
