However we have tons of stuff for you this evening. First I would like to announce that DPcon was an overwhelming success with 27 people in attendence, and Digital Paint till the break of dawn. We held two tournaments. First of which was a Deathmatch tournament. 1st Place - Murdock[Smurf], 2nd Place - Razor[Rage], 3rd Place - Shoppy[Rage]. The second tournament was a 2 on 2 tourney played on the maps Midnight, ksplat1, and Battle. Murdock and Razor teamed up to take first place. Hellraiser and Picklehead also of Clan Smurf took second place. And DP's own Calrathan and Jitspoe placed third. Prizes awarded included a 3D card. Big Game Hunter 2, Extreme Paintbrawl, Remington Top Shot, Quake 2 Extremities, 2 DP Mouse pads, 1 5.25 inch floppy drive with software and everyone in attendence will recieve a registration for the server browser Hydra.

January 6th, 1999New News CGIYes, I know it was very much needed.... This update will make it write html files so it loads a heck of a lot faster and it will also let you load old news. Hopefully it'll be up by tomorrow. 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.
