poking around in Google found me this little gem, a history of Descent by Sirian- very good read as always (Sirian is probably the most prolific Descent commentator ever .

I started in 97
Just in the middle of the "gold rush" as it were. Two main popular clans were GOP and XPG. I was trying to get into GOP at the time but they were having civil war. When two GOPers, Salient and Breadman wanted to start a new clan with me and Sharpie. Another guy who joined from GOP, who most of you know well was 8-bit. I was a little sad to see that PSF didn't make it in Clicky's posts. I know we didn't last long but we got to know and learn from most of the descent greats and earned a respect as a clan with very honorable players.
whoops....I am so sorry J. Damn...that was stupid of me.
I was rushing to write that at the time and didn't intentionally leave out PSF. Now I feel really embarrassed. All of the PSFers have been great to me while I've known them. Especially you, sharpie and bread. It's kinda funny that I didn't mention you guys considering that I had asked to join sometime in '99.
The reason I remember it was because I believe you guys had an age limit for membership and I was too young (18 back then) and had already been on kali for a few years . Being 24 now its a good memory looking back, brings a smile to my face. Which is why I cannot believe for the life of me why I left you guys out...
Anyways...my apologies once again J. Tell Sharpie I said hi If I ever make an official write-up combining Sirian's list with mine PSF will definitely be on there.

You failed to mention WHY it was so hard- we hardly ever played on open Kali servers, once we got our lazy butts out of IRC!Tyranny wrote:I remember getting awards for beating up on PPG members back during my DMC days. Didn't have very many of them, was never easy
Really, Sirian hit the nail on the head- we were a bunch of elietists that didn't mix well with the usual Kali crowd, and that, I think, is the main reason why the PPG is dead. Without a new flux of membership, any organization is doomed.
That was one reason. The other was that every PPG member I did end up playing was shortly after I had just started playing online for the first time
They were all pilots I had a great deal of respect for. The same goes for the group as a whole. Can't hold the elitism thing against them, everyone on Kali was a Kali descent elitist too

That removes any credibility UF ever had as a legitimate elitist clan.
