I can't say my origin is nearly as epic or exciting as Grandpa's, but I'll give it a shot. I've played a lot of UT over the years, fairly early on, back when my father and I played the demo version. We'd stumbled through a few interesting servers, with custom skins and voice packs, even some unique weapons, but those servers were lost to the times and only remained in memory. My father was part of a sniping server for a little while, while I generally frequented Monster Hunt maps and played through Tournament Mode on higher difficulties and different aliases. We both took a bit of a hiatus from gaming, having lost interest, save for some private games he had against a friend. Somehow, I ended up running into Siege. Which may have been WC's doing, my memory is kind of fuzzy. Growing weary of Clarion, Bathrooms, and Face, WC and I looked into some of those forgotten mods I mentioned earlier. By a stroke of luck, we rediscovered the years dormant U4e Mod, filled with skins, game types, weapons, and countless errors. It was there that we found Gauntlet. It was a unique mod, although a bit more broken and less exciting version than we know of today. Before it went live, WC and myself played several 2 player games, juggling weapons mods we'd run into, like PSI, Apocalypse, Nali Weapons, GOTY, and of course, the dozens of oddball weapons that U4e provided. But Gauntlet was still missing something, and WC set out to get it. It was missing decent scoring, new maps, and most of all, competition. Long story short, he did a FuckTon of editing, changing gate appearance, adding new threatening monsters while reviving some that were thrown away from the old version, and adding the scoring system. But the biggest thing was making it all public. Finally, people could play with us, and be dominated by our superior and veteran might! We'd had other Gauntlet servers, but all of them would change IPs for no reason, effectively stranding our users and robbing us of our Game Tracker ranking. With the help of nOs*Grandpa, the server finally found a stable home, and with that, Gauntlet's popularity has gone from it's meager 300 rank, in to the top 100! But with this popularity, comes many new headaches. The struggle to maintain our standing means new material, and considerably more supervision for the unsavory characters who will come our way. WAIT. Hold the phone! This is a Gauntlet Intro you say? And the title is about Me? Oh. Well I'm the Green Guy.
