Cpt. Elvis is the guy who first recruited me and Artimus into our first clan. It was 2001 and I was just a pub playing DoD for the first time.
Well, I got to know Elvis a bit, and during one DoD session there was a movement in the server to have a knife fight in one of the rooms in the Apartments on Ava.
I was not fond of melee's at that time and I thought it was awfully funny when I chunked a nade into the room.
Elvis warned me not to do that again, which of course, made me want to do it again. So I switched classes to the Rifleman which at that time had two hand grenades and pitched both of them into the room. I was laughing like a hyena and then suddenly, I was booted out of game. Attempting to rejoin, the console said that I was perma-banned!
I told Artimus about it, and he said that he would look into it and he called me back and told me to log on to these things called "forums." I didn't have time with that, since I was single, young lawyer living in West Los Angeles and running around with movie stars. Well Artimus joined for me and made a post on my behalf in these "Contest a Ban" forums or something like that.
So, Elvis caught me next time I was in game and straighted me out some. He got me to actually go to the forums and the rest is history.......
Tech,
Kraut Killer,
Elldallan,
SadSak,
and a few others might remember that story.
Tech also slayed me 5 times in a row for using the nade glitch in Ava before they fixed it in v3.1
