Counter Note: Early in March 2001, at
roughly 2900 hits, Tripod took this site offline by mistake. After it went
back online, Rarefiles excluded the counter. In mid August 2001, another
counter was installed and set to 3000 hits. So, the present count is
definitely an undercount.
From A Recent
Lan Party
(March 24-25)
Using
Zdoom 2.0 Alpha
Welcome!
Both Biff and myself (Falconer) have been DOOMed almost
since Doom's inception. I first played Doom as a demo. Later, I picked up
the full reg and got online with DWANGO (see FAQs for more DWANGO info).
Not long after, Biff logged on, and we have been friends since.
Eventually, I became a DWANGO moderator. I later resigned since there were
too few players and too much college level homework.
When ZDoom was introduced, both Biff and I took to the 'net
with DoomServ. Eventually, Biff moderated on DoomServ, until TGO dumped
all his moderators.
On this site, we focus on Internet head-to-head play. Biff
and I have joined the ranks of those who keep alive the earliest smash-hit
of the first person shooters, Doom. While we engage in other games, we
continue the Doom tradition. We just like it. And, for us, there are a lot
of memories tied to those early nostalgic days of Doom's rise to fame.
Don't hesitate to send us E-mail, and we hope you enjoy the
site and our game server.

- Lan Party of March 23-24 ROX
Biff recently hosted a LAN Party for some of our buds.
The screenshots above are from DCDWANGO map 9, and are an example of the
new ZDoom 2.0 alpha. I don't know when it will be released, ask Biff about
that, he's somewhat tight with Randy Heit. Games played included Doom2 (of
course), Quake3 Rocket Arena, Unreal Tournament, and some over the 'net
Counter-Strike. This LAN was an over-nighter. Peeps began to leave 3
PM the next day.
Biff plugged his LinkSys router into the 16-port switch we
all were on, which made LAN configuration a snap. The router has a
DHCP server in it. We all setup for DHCP and it automatically assigned our
IPs and gave us Internet access, so we could read our mail, and check ICQ
too.
Special thanks to Biff for hosting this LAN.

- Rarefiles ROX
The pop-up (that you probably just closed) launches a Real
Audio music file. The selection changes often (with my mood), so
ya'll come back now, ya hear.

- Rarefiles Recovers
RareFiles uses counters, chat rooms, and discussion boards
on BraveNet. However, they went down recently, and our links to
their counters made our site hang and timeout All their counters on
this site have been disabled. Rarefiles hangs no more. Sorry for the
inconvenience. When BraveNet returns in its full glory, our
counters, chat, and discussions will too.
Friday,
December 22, 2001 - Chat Room Added
RareFiles has added a
chat room. This is handy if you want to chat with someone who doesn't
use the same instant messaging program you do. Also handy for those that
like to chat first before jumping from one server to another. Put a
link to this room on your desktop.
Saturday, December 15, 2001 -
Discussion Forum Added
Rarefiles has added a
discussion forum. You can discuss anything related to Doom, but
principally, we'd like to hear about how we can improve your Rarefiles
experience (read: comments about maps you like and hate).

Thanksgiving Day
For the holidays, Biff has released his new DM-MORPH WAD,
complete with railgun. This is a conversion of the DM-Morpheus map
of Unreal Tournament. Download today!
PLEASE NOTE: It will not run from CSDOOM or ZDAEMON, but
you can load it with ZDOOM 1.23 and connect with other users via console
command line.
The Links page has been updated with some new
content, and to repair broken links.
September 11, 2001 - Another
Day Which Will Live in Infamy!
". . . a date which will live in infamy
. . ."
"Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy
- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by
naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan."- Franklin D. Roosevelt's
Pearl Harbor Speech, December 8, 1941
September 11, 2001 is another such date, but the enemy is
masked and of uncertain identity.
We ask that you join us in prayer for our fallen citizens,
whose loss we all mourn, for their families and friends, and for those
engaged in the rescue and clean-up operations.
Falconer adds: As for America:
3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and
do them; . . .
7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the
sword.
8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put
ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the
sword.
9 For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply
you, and establish my covenant with you. - Leviticus 26
As for all our enemies (terrorists or otherwise):
6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the
great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his
bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the
untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a
whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. {both...: Heb. as living as
wrath}
10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash
his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous:
verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. {a reward...: Heb. fruit of
the, etc} - Psalm 58
