January 5th, 1999DPcon UpdateDpcon is this weekend January 9th - 10th and registration has officially closed. We had as many as 35 people register but some plans have changed and it looks like we are down to 28 people now. However this is still the biggest Paintball Lan Party ever =). Bonfilio formerly of Clan Splat will be bringing a digital camera and scanner to DPcon so for all of you that cannot make it, we will try to make you feel like you are there. We will be posting news updates from DPcon as well as many images of the weekend. As you can see from the Picture of the Day, one of the prizes for DPcon will be a limited edition Digital Paint mousepad. We will also have copies of several games by Headgames, as well as registration #'s for the new server browser Hydra. Beta 5 is set to be released at DPcon on saturday night. We will be having a big party to celebrate the release and then will release it to the rest of you on Sunday January 10th. Paintball Central WebringHellraiser's Paintball Central has reestablished the PBC webring. This ring is a great way for Clan and Pball news sites to stay linked and to keep our community together. Rush on over to Paintball Central and sign up your site today! Digital Paint HonoredYesterday two sites announced the results of recent polls. The first is our wonderful host Dakota and Captured.com. Captured hosted a vote for the "CTF Mod of the year". Digital Paint finished 4th in the voting with well over 50 mods nominated. Congratulations to Weapon's Factory, LMCTF, and Thunder Walker who placed higher then us. And a hearty, better luck next time, to Zoid, who's Threewave CTF placed below Digital Paint.
The other site, Sluggo's Mod Central, hosted a 1998 Best Teamplay Mod reader's vote. Digital Paint placed second in this vote behind Action Quake. We are very proud of our placement in both of these polls and we would like to thank all of you who play this game that make it so much fun. Keep on Painting!

Cya at DPCON! December 29th, 1998New Help Section and DocumentationThis evening I worked on the Help section of the page. It now contains much more information then it did before and once it is finished it will be a complete source of all the information anyone would need to play, and support Digital Paint. The new documentation will be completed and packaged with Beta 5 to make it much easier for new people to adjust to our game. I hope you find it helpful.
