Hello, it has been a while since I have posted a forum thread. I still remember trying to get on the forums top thread posters, the good ol' days. I would assume others would like to hear how/what everyone in the clan is currently up to. I like to dig around the forums and remember all of the great times that we used to have, at practice, in Super TS, Jumps, etc. Feel free to post and comment about what your up to or some good old memories (also screenshots or video/voice clips?). Even if just one person responds I will be happy ;)
For starters,
I'm a senior in college studying, Computer Science - Programming (Minor in Visual Imaging/Graphic Design), I have 5 classes (15credits left). I worked as a lab tech at my college (which is basically just a computer lab assistant) and have already had a couple internships. The past few years I've not really played many PC games besides Minecraft (which I will soon be co-hosting a server again, mainly for side cash). I also enjoy a game of Fortnite every now and then on my Xbox One.
Some stories that I would like to share, I remember first joining the clan and feeling somewhat accepted by the other members of the time, sure I was a trial member, but back then I was a raging pre-teen (I was 11 or 12, 12 when I applied) and Flexan (Tim) was right there beside me letting the anger roar just as loud. Flex was the man, he was there for everyone when someone needed someone, and I couldn't say that about a lot of people in my life (at that time). Flex always gave me that 2nd (3rd, 4th, 5th, ... etc) chances that no one else would when I would lash out. Truly an awesome man.
I remember my "recruiting class" Perdition and Modoki, we were in trial membership together and we all bonded pretty tightly (except for Modoki, because you know.. he hacked). We all wanted to get the best out of each other when we played, obviously, Perd was way more talented than I ever was at UrT.
I remember when that new "game mode" came out, but I can't remember the name now, but it was like WipeOut, where players hit other players off with the use of buttons or platforms. That was a great time. Along with the Zombie mode that we had, I wish that lasted longer.
I remember Tesla taking time out of his busy and hectic life to teach me how to Icy Jump, most of the time if I get on UrT I go to an Icy Server because of the love of Icy jumps instilled in me by Tesla.
I remember the day I took an Oath to become a 1up Ref (something almost everyone said I could never do) then a few months later, the game died and most people switched to CS:GO, KF, etc. Even though it was short-lived, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity that Ron gave me. This taught me that I would not be able to just jump into a clan (real-life job) and get the highest position (ex: CEO), patience is one of the best skills in the world.
Almost every single member that is currently in the clan, and players in the past, I have had a positive "relationship" with (I think at least) and I thank each and every one of you for helping me become what I am today. Thanks for the great times/memories.
Please, if you would post your own short or long bio of what your up to and some memories of the clan and remember It's 1up or Shutup

Hello everyone.
I am the same person today that I was when this clan started off. Things around me changed, but I did not.
I lost several friends to tragedies, and my sister as well. I remember every single application, every single 1up, and the excitement that 1up held in the Urban Terror community for about 6 years.
We were an Urban Terror clan, but Urban Terror died. I moved us to Steam as best as could be done, but when you introduce hundreds of games on a platform like Steam, many people will go in different directions.
I am glad to have many close friends still from 1up and it has been a pleasure to be around so many 1ups who started here at a young age and have grown into adults with success assured.
I have often thought that IF --don't hold your breath on this though-- Urban Terror ever gets rebooted that we could all be like the first days of 1up again. I hope so. I hope that happens someday. But as Roy Miller (played by Tom Cruise) said, “Someday. That's a dangerous word. It's really just a code for never" (Knight and Day, 2010). I've continued gaming and I have gone through a plethora of Steam based games. I am currently involved in the beta of Insurgency: Sandstorm, and I am always looking, though, for that one special game that can light a fire to attract old members to play with each other. When and if we eventually find a couple of great, popular and acceptable games to a majority of the clan's members, I will invest in a site redesign, servers, and all that stuff once again. I am easy to reach out to if you want to get a hold of me.

I remember when I found 1up right after I bought my first new computer. I hadn't played a FPS since Doom 2, and found UrT as it worked well on Linux. After stumbling through some other servers I came across 1up and started playing on 1up servers exclusively. Playing with Perdition and Cutty, the SnK's, and the rage king Brendanator (before he changed his name) and then Flexan (RIP), were some great times and their encouragement (except you EnJoy - haha) got me to apply. I miss the Xmas server being full, and the extras that were put up for a while like the rocket server. I remember when we did UrT team practices and I had a solid month of accidentally TKing Perdition at least once per practice, and Flame with a 500+ ping teleporting all over the place. There were definitely some hilarious times with the majority of the clan playing together. Even the few times I was able to play with Tesla and Zhalix were memorable.
I have been mostly unable to play any games recently due to work, and spending a lot of time outdoors at some mountain property I own now (no internet or even cell service). Hopefully I will have some more time now that it is winter that I can be on more. I would love to see a main multi OS game that many clan members can be involved with again. Playing with everyone was great, and I miss it.

So I don't think I've posted in 5+years :o. I saw Enjoy's post on Facebook and figured I could say something.
Wow, where to begin? I found the Super TS server pretty fast in 2009 - my senior year of high school. I started playing with these great guys like Enjoy and EddieLee and...sheesh I can't even remember everyone. Modoki, Mael (both long gone), CuttyFlam, etc. Being in Vent with everyone was tons of fun and got me through my first year of college. So of course, after a while I had to apply and become a part of this great community. Those days were the golden days - tons of people in Vent (switched to TS3 at some point) everyday, tons of forum posts, and lots of Super TS. I absolutely looked forward to clan practices of course! I also loved competing in the FTW (is that the right abbreviation?) competitive tournaments where we actually played for real against other clans. All in all, I loved this time of my life and I have 1up to thank. Ron was and still is a great leader, we had some awesome server referees and admins, and everyone got along (most of the time). Of course, school and life got in the way and I wasn't able to play as much from 2012 on.
Life update: I am 26 and I finished my Masters last March. I just moved in with my girlfriend in June (hear that Cutty? I have a girlfriend lol). We work at the same energy company and are trying to save money. I don't have too much time for video games, but Brendan's post got me all nostalgic so I had to post an update. Maybe some of the old members will follow suit. Thanks for the thread Enjoy!
Welp, see you guys in 5 years when I do my next post lol. Shoutouts to anyone I missed (there's a lot I'm sure). Thanks to Ron and all of my great clanmates for an amazing couple of years.

Glad to see you on the forums again Perd, thank you for the updates (everyone), I hope others will, as Perd said “follow suit”. Great to hear from you!

Hello,
It's good to see that many of you guys have found your own purpose and direction in life.
Back in the days in 2009 I bought myself a cheap-ass computer just for school stuff.
But than I started to play online games, and was trying to find a First person shooter ''I could play'' on that broken ass machine haha.
So I found Urban Terror (low graphic, high speed, and fun Fps). Eventually I started playing on 1up servers regularly. And so I applied.
I got trial. After a couple of months I was inactive cause of school. Couple months later I re-applied to 1up, and after a while I received full.
The funniest thing I remembered back in the days were the practises. It was alot of fun, just like J-Sq. said ''Flame with such high ping, teleporting everywhere".
And the most incredible thing about those events were, that I had to wake up at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning to participate in those practises!
Even when I had school the next day, I was setting my alarm to 3 AM just to join those funny ass group of players that called the 1up family.
(I even had to explain to my parents who the **** you guys were! :D Because they heard me talk english every night.)
To bad we never met eachother in real life tho, but I'm greatfull for the lovely years of gamingcompany you gave me! ;D
Now, after Urban Terror died. I joined the Army, went to Afghanistan came back. Left the army, and found work in Security at the American Embassy in Brussels.
Where I still work till this day. But now I'm also quitting that job aswell. And now I'm gonna start my own business of a project I invented and invested by myself.
For gaming, I play CS:GO, Pubg, League of Legends and F1 2018/Forza Horizon
My last words go to Flexan, dude I miss your special voice... always shouting and cursing. I miss you brother. Make an 1up clan in heaven brother, we will join you when time comes.

It has been awhile Valk, glad to hear from you. Maybe update your post or repost when your product is finished, keep up the great work!

I'm still a noob.

It has been awhile Valk, glad to educate everyone on fat burners (https://www.muscleandfitness.com/supplements/best-fat-burners-for-belly-fat/) and hear from you. Maybe update your post or repost when your product is finished, keep up the great work!
What would it take to revive this community? As far as I can tell, people are still playing games. Why not play together again?

I playing Insurgency: Sandstorm just about every night with 5 to 7 1up people.

I'm still alive. Glad to see that this place is still up and running. Hope you are all doing well. I'm older and don't play competitive video games anymore - definitely in retirement mode.
-
Hey Guys,
I stop in here from time to time. Its nice to see all the "old faces" showing up again. I really don't play video games all that consistently these days but I played a bit of WoW recently and some overwatch every so often. I do miss the old days sometimes, you don't often find good gaming communities these days. Other than that I generally just working a whole bunch and living life.
-
I'm still around, lurking in the shadows, reminiscing of the good old days in 1up ;)

The glory days! ;-)
Life Update: pooping out a 2nd kid in a couple weeks, 1st one has been kept alive for 2.5 years now! Finally, got a new computer after idk five years without one, trying to find a game I actually want to play. Tetris...probably. Hmm snkcoffee is still my brother, snkquake is still my brother in law, snkmaddog and I are still in cahoots.

Glad to hear from you all! Congratulations to Bourbon, Bri, we all need to get together when the New UrT comes out and play a few games.

I'm also still related to you, lol.

I just started a new job at the beginning of April and I absolutely love it. I work with a technical consultant group based out of my home with a motley crew of guys that genuinely like each other and work well as a team. I've never been in such a healthy work environment before and I plan to stick around a while. The downside is that I'm constantly travelling around to different client facilities, so I don't do much gaming anymore except for maybe some weekends. But I've always had itchy feet and I can't stand office work- the travelling suits me well.
Other than that, I'm preparing to either start to pursuing a postgraduate degree or else put some real time and resources into one or two of my shelved projects so I can get the patent paperwork moving and make some money on it. Or maybe both, but I'm not sure there is enough time in the day to work full time and do those things. Luckily I'm still single with no kids and live hundreds of miles from my closest relative so at least I don't have to work around family obligations. I'm about to re-home the last of my three dogs so that will free up some time and resources as well.

Hey all.
I still play UT from time to time; still good too. :P Though I've started back into League of Legends again, so hit me up if you play.
I also still log onto the forums almost every day. And I still love gaming.
As for life, I've been employed as a Civil Engineer for about 3.5 years now. Good pay and good coworkers.
I have a girlfriend of 3 years, who I just proposed to last month, so I now have a fiance and i'm in the process of planning a wedding.
Free time is at a premium, but I've found my soulmate, so it's worth it.
Miss the 1up glory days, but that's life.
Hit me up some time for some UT if anyone's interested.

Wow, hello everyone.
Some of you might not know me that well, but I just wanted to share my story what 1up meant and still means to me.
Urban Terror was one of the first games I actually played, and I don't really remember how I found the game and started playing, but I can see that I registered my account back in 2012, I just turned 14 at the time and was so excited about 1up and I really wanted to become a part of the community. At that time I played on the Zombie Mod server 24/7 with my neighbour / best friend and loved it.
To be real serious with you ya'll meant so much to me at the time, I remember looking up to you guys so damn much (I still do, yikes :P). You were like gods in my eyes, seriously. You are the ones that learnt me to be civil, patient and kind. The part my parents had almost no control over (everything online) was taken care of by you people. You learnt me speak English and I've got one particular memory of that: One day I was playing on the Zombie server and I had absolutely no idea that I was spelling "with" wrong all the time. I always typed "whit" instead of "with". (At the time I wasn't a member yet and was working on my English to write my application in the best English possible). One of you guys politely said: "Premium, in that case it is with, not whit". This might sound like a stupid small thing and I don't know why I remember this so well, but things like that helped me out and made me improve day in day out.
You were always so patient with me, the first time I applied I did't get in and I remember being really sad, but I kept improving (mostly because of you guys) and the second time I got in. I had a great time and after some time I left, for reasons I actually don't really remember. I vaguely remember something about that I was struggling with myself at the time, and if me leaving hurt you guys in any way because ya'll gave me a huge second change to get in, I'm so sorry..
So, thank you ALL, really, thank you for the great time.
This post is me giving a little bit back to you guys for everything you guys meant to me and did for me at the time.
On topic:
I'm currently in my third year of my Bachelor of Science (Bio-Informatics) and I'm 21 years young.
Love, Premium <3

I dont get much time to game anymore... during the week if I'm not working, I'm chasing around a toddler... I may get lucky to get a couple of hours during the week. On weekends I only have time after the little one goes to bed around 8-9 ct. When I do game, I've been streaming just for ****s n gigs, twitch.tv/DoLT_ You guys should stop in and bug me sometime (no face cam). I finally installed Insurgency: Sandstorm so I may join you guys if you're playing when I'm available. Also, if any of you like the Left 4 Dead series, you should check out Warhammer Vermintide 2... its kinda the same concept but you're killing rat men instead of zombies... its pretty fun.. Only 4 players though. Hope to see some of you in game soon... kthxbye.

Wow, it's been a while, huh? I actually really miss the good ol' days of 1up. I've been playing a lot of different games, from Grand Theft Auto 5 to Destiny 2 (lots and lots of Destiny 2) but I still hop on urt every once in a blue moon. As others have mentioned, practice is a thing that's greatly missed. I remember doing absolutely horrible, but still trying.
I wanted to thank you guys for shaping me into who I am today, without you guys I certainly wouldn't be the same person.
-
Glad to hear from you Turret, we all miss the great time provided by this clan, someday we will "all" have to try and get a scrim/practice going for fun.

Hello!
I haven't touched Urban Terror in years, I do miss it, but don't have the urge to play it. I'm into Counter Strike, League, PUBG...a whole bunch of games on steam. Hit me up if you see me online.
I check up here from time to time, but not as consistent as I used to be.
Life has been a battle of ups and downs. Battling health issues and a job have been rough. I took a break from school, and have been getting all my priorities in order.
I stream on Twitch from time to time, so check me out: https://www.twitch.tv/ceejayb_
My free time is mostly scattered and I appear online at different times. Miss all of you and hope all is well.

Update: I'm taking spottie[1up] to get his Fla. DL learner's permit today. Time flies: 15 already.
I hope we can get an Urban Terror HD released before he turns 20. We've only been waiting since 2012.

Good luck, just got mine her full license less than 2 weeks ago.

Hi, great old times here, UrT,kf etc.
haven't played any game in years.
I moved to live and study abroad in italy, 3 years ago (from israel).
that's about all.
I am editing my post to add, R.I.P Flexan, i am sure everyone here misses you and hope that you are in a better place now.

Another major life update for me this year (other than getting divorced). I just quit my job at General Dynamics after 12 years of working for them. I've accepted a new job at Radeus Labs out in San Diego, should be quite fun.
Any of you 1up's in the San Diego area?
-
Just saying hi, My son turns 9 tomorrow and he was born while I was in 1up. So.. Been a long time. I do miss those days.

Hello everyone,
I't s been a while. I hope some of you still remember me. My real name is Sebastian I'm currently 28 years old now, I live in Chile, I applied to 1up on the golden days, I believe i was around 16 at the time.
I still remember having so much fun on vent playing urt on these days, I made some really good friends and had great nights playing until it was late. I finished college what would you guys call advertising and marketing, I currently work as an analyst on a medical company called BD. I't s a desktop job and I work from home which I really enjoy. I also got married a year ago and we currently have two playful kittens.
Life is been good on my side a lot of hard work which has kept me away from gaming on the last 5 years, we bought our first apartment this year with my wife so we are really happy.
If some of you guys come to Chile make sure to let me know. I'll be traveling to New York on November this year in case any of you wants to have a drink.
Also what are you guys playing lately? maybe we can play a few matches.
My best wishes to all.

Just got back from helping my buddy with a week long elk hunt, both cow and bull. He harvested both, I kept the organs and will split the meat with him. Tasty tasty elk. I should be able to draw for the same hunt next year, so hoping to get my own.
