Forum Spammer Foils Forum Goers, Makes Them Scroll
The Administrators of the CS Forums today announced that only days before a Forum Spammer, Galactoslammer, had concocted a diabolical scheme to foil forum goers. Reportedly, the self proclaimed trouble maker typed 425 "@" signs in the off topic forum scrolled across a topic. "I was like, I have it!! I'm gonna make these [----]ers scroll!!" One visibly shaken off topic forum user said "I still can't believe it."

As_Doomsday Still In Production
"Work continues on As_Doomsday," reads a recent update to Anarchy Design. The update goes on to say "We have a perfect layout and style established, testing will begin soon." But sarcastic mapping fans aren't so sure. "Testing will begin soon my [----]ing ass!" said mapper McBuckles. Anarchy later shocked site visitors by announcing that he was "downloading Netscape as we speak." Narby was unavailable for comment.

Players Hold Vigil for Blaster
Sources close to the CS Team confirm that a vigil was held Thursday night for fallen default player, Blaster. "My god, it's so tragic. I remember seeing him for the first time and he asked me how to bind something or other and how to buy ammo," said one weeping clan member. Interestingly, new default player name "Sir_Knumbskull" is said to be unsatisfactory to hardcore players. "We're going to attempt to hack the .dll and bring back servers with Beefhole, this new Sir Knumbskull beta stuff is such crap," said a bystander. "Valve and the CS team just had to [----] it up!" he went on to say.

Smoke Grenade Causes Lung Cancer

When HeroDoD threw a smoke grenade last night on the Mourning After VII server his life became a "world of shit." Reportedly, that very smoke grenade gave HeroDoD lung cancer, according to an earlier-released Surgeon General press statement claiming that Counter-Strike indeed "is highly addictive" and "causes cancer."

"I've been coughing and hacking up lung butter for the past three days, and CS fried my old nVIDIA TNT! Not only do I have to buy a new graphics card, I have a find a new lung!" HeroDoD commented. "Ok, I know CS is a beta, but come on! I blame the new Half-Life patch and the CS testers."

Last week the Make a Wish Foundation purchased HeroDoD a GeForce2 GTS graphics card, but they are still looking for another lung.

Hostage School Opened

Earlier this week, a rogue GSG9 member donated his entire $16,000 paycheck to the funding of a new hostage training school. The donator, who wishes to remain anonymous, says he wishes to "improve hostage communication, escape skills, and the laws of gravity."

"In a game of cs_docks," the man said, "I managed to rescue some hostages, but all they could say was the same damn things over and over. They couldn't tell me anything important, and they kept whining about wanting to get out. I can understand being emotionally stressed, but I've been doing this for quite some time now, and I wish they'd learn to say something new, damnit."

The benefactor then discussed the hostages' intelligence, saying his efforts were often useless in rescuing them. "Yeah, I'd risk my ass getting to them, and then they'd get stuck behind a railing or start bunching up together and having an orgy or some crap. And then you know what would happen? Some idiot terrorist would unload a Glock at me and kill all of them instead."

He also was extremely curious about the hostages' ways of manipulating the basic laws of physics. "Okay, I don't get how they can't turn a 90-degree corner or climb down a ladder, but they can float halfway across a room and hang in midair, running in place."

The school, he says, will promote hostage intelligence in future hostage rescue maps. "I hope they'll understand that you can escape alive if you can just learn how to operate a door and not get stuck in it," he stated.

Para Fired For 2 Minutes, Nothing Hit

In a recent game of cs_siege, famed forum spammer MTG fired his Para for 2 minutes straight at an opponent and hit nothing. Sources claim that it could have been the working of Valve's mischevious netcode or a new "Para cheat."

MTG recalled his experience, "I came back into the game after 'tending to my sheep,' you might say. Anyway, I glanced at the timer, and I saw that I had 2:30 left in the round, and everyone else was dead. I still had my Para machine gun fully loaded from last round, so I scurried to the CT base, hoping to find some enemies there."

As MTG rounded the curve, he saw him. [FOOK]Mach5 ran out of his camping place behind the rocks of the CT base, grabbing the gun of a fallen teammate so as not to spend any unnecessary money. MTG pressed the crouch key and clicked his mouse. Two seconds later, when the command reached AOL, his Para opened fire. Mach5 froze in terror. MTG was spraying everywhere (literally); there was no escape from this imminent doom. Mach5 closed his eyes and began to cry, as his personal best 5/2 score would surely be ruined. But alas, this was no ordinary battle.

Two minutes passed, and Mach5 had not yet heard the groan of death he was so well accustomed to. He wiped his teary eyes, startled to see the view of his gun still at hand. Could it be true? Could MTG have really missed three HUNDRED shots? The overjoyed Mach5 typed, "Haha, j00 suck, [FOOK] rulz j00, I delete j00r postz." Stunned, MTG could not take the embarassment. He made a suicide leap off of the bridge and plunged to his death while the excited Mach5 scurried below to pick up his forsaken sidearm.

"I couldn't believe it," said Mach5 after snapping a screenshot, posting it on his desktop for his mom to see. "I managed to survive the battle despite my unusually high 54 ping. I think I'm going to celebrate by making another horrible Counter-Strike rendition of an Eminem song!"

After being laughed off of the server, MTG told CSNE that this was undoubtedly the doing of the new netcode or a cheat of some kind. "Even with my high-speed AOL dialup connection I missed. I don't know how it could have happened."

When confronted about this, Gooseman had nothing to say except, "The problem is neither the netcode nor a cheat. MTG just really, really sucks."


Little Timmy Suspended from School

Little Timmy, age 7, was suspended from Kenston Elementary School today for extremely disruptive behavior. When asked why he was suspended, Principal Sue Emerson said, "We didn't suspend him because of just one action, it was a combination of things he has been doing over the past few months that have been disrupting the school environment."

After calling him to her office to find out the source of Timmy's troubles, Principal Emerson said that Timmy's problems stemmed from a game called Counter-Strike, which he has been playing for some time now. At such a young age his mind is still developing, and by spending more then 8 hours a day playing intense video games, Little Timmy's mind is being brainwashed. She also quoted that he has lost his ability to sort reality from his games.

Timmy's English teacher, Ms. Slingerland, reflects the time when she heard a loud explosion come from the bathroom. She left her class unattended to see what the sound was, and clearly heard Timmy shout, "Get out of there, its gonna blow!"

"I saw smoke coming out from under the bathroom door, and when I entered the room there was poop all over the walls. I found Timmy inside of a stall standing over a exploded firecracker which he planted inside his own feces!" Little Timmy tried to explain, "I just wanted to be funny; everyone laughs when I blow up the poop in the toilet in cs_militia."

"And on two separate incidents," Ms. Slingerland continued, "he screamed at his classmates." His teacher continuted to describe how Little Timmy would shove others off of the jungle gym and yell, "Enemy down!"

"Little Timmy was very disruptive in the school cafeteria. I would catch him flinging his food across the room and yelling, 'Fire in the hole!' I moved him to the other side of the cafeteria by himself, but he was still managing to hit people with his baked beans. Timmy claimed it was his 'mad snipering skills.' I didn't know what to make of it."

Timmy's mother, Kathy, told CSNE about Timmy's troubles at school, "I became aware of his problems when he got sent home with a note from his teacher. Apparently in the long cafeteria line for mystery meat he screamed, 'Go! Go! Go!' multiple times. I was very concerned indeed."

Principle Emerson says there were other times Timmy acted up and placed fellow students in danger. "On one occasion, Timmy brought a knife to school and tried slashing the windows. When I confronted him about the damage he had caused, Little Timmy replied, 'I thought it would be cool to break windows like in CS, and I didn't do any harm, 'cause everyone knows that they windows respawn at the end of the round.'"

So why was Timmy kicked out of school today? We confronted Principal Emerson and she quoted his latest offense, "When Timmy brought a large trout to school and slapped his math teacher around in the face with it, that was the last straw."

Little Timmy will be allowed to return to school in two weeks after serving his suspension, and his mother has agreed to restrict him from playing Counter-Strike during that time. Little Timmy says he's sorry and promises to be a good boy in the future. We all hope so.

editor's note: Much thanks to Trash Man for help with this issue.
