  OldSparky-(DOG)- The Legacy  

June 25th will mark the 10th anniversary of OldSparky-(DOG)-‘s passing!

Few people have left such a deep footprint in the Unreal universe as Glen “OldSparky-(DOG)-” Cook.

Ask any player who knew him then or now and you will always hear words like “friend, mentor, honorable, caring, teacher, wise, leader”, to name but a few.

He was both a father in real life and also a father of an Unreal family, the -(DOG)- clan. 
He faced huge difficulties as a father and met those difficulties with determination, courage, commitment and strength.
Throughout all this he strived to build up Newbiesplayground as a community and a safe haven with a code of ethics for any player, from anywhere.
His kindness and efforts to help anyone connected with our game was truly humbling and his dedication to keeping our game alive and prospering knew no limits.
You will be missed and never forgotten!
To honor and celebrate him, we invite all players of the Unreal community to join us for a KING OF THE HILL event on OldSparky’s favorite server:

“What he stood for and believed is what everyone should strive to achieve.”
Dark Wolf

“Dedication beyond belief, to this game and his friends.”
Buster

“I have personally seen him burn a pile of disks of maps for players on Dialup, DSL and cable and mail them at his expense all over the world so they could play the maps without having to download…. There’s no cooler guy out there …”
ExecutionerMIB

“He was always so kind and supportive and much more.”
mentalhunter

“For me Sparky was not only a friend, he was also a teacher and like a father in difficult times. He always cared for others.”
£éè£å-(DOG)-

“The old man was kind, friendly, patient but most of all helpful and listening to anybody who needed it.”
Syntax-Error-(DOG)-

“If I could build a staircase from my tears … and from all memories a bridge … then I would climb to heaven and bring you back …”
Rubie-(DOG)-

“Will miss you, old wise man.”
Smirftsch

“I remember he was simply a very nice and gentle guy.”
Diehard

Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near;
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

 Server Rules   

Here Are The Server Rules For Newbies Playground:

  • Spawn killing prohibited.
  • Type killing prohibited.
  • Obscene or degrading language and names prohibited.
  • Cheats prohibited.
  • Always be kind and helpful to new players.

NOTE: Violation of the server rules will result in you being kicked or kick-banned. Very nice ladies and my children play here.

  Dispersion Pistol   

I Am Going To Make This Perfectly Clear And This Should End The Confusion Once And For All:

  • The dispersion pistol is a gun and may be used at anytime.
  • Out of courtesy to players spawning, we try not to shoot people with just a dispersion pistol. If a player fires the dispersion pistol at you they are fair game to pulverize. We give you this opportunity to get a real gun if you so desire.
  • This is the way it has been from the first day Newbies went on line.
  • There is not a good solution to this problem or I would have implemented it long ago.
  • The people who camp on guns and spawn points of players to get cheap kills are the lowest of Unreal vermin.
  • Enough of the whining about DPS already everyone. Just get over it and get on with the game.

When you see me telling someone to get a real gun I am giving them the opportunity to get one before there are consequences.
