Quake 3 Arena. Excessive mod.

The map: Q3DM7 I believe.

What happened: The Excessive mod community has always been small. All the good players know the other good players.

There was a clan, called XTC, that had dominated the excessive playing field for years. They went undefeated for 3 years on the ladder system at provinggrounds.com, which is where all of the clans registered if they were any good.

One day, while in that map, they were all there also. I was in a strange, euphoric mood. I was deadly accurate that day. I went the entire game unfragged, with a 50 frag limit. I beat everyone on that map with a 20 frag lead. I could barely believe. These guys were like Gods to me, and I just wiped the floor with them. They swore up and down that I was cheating (using an aimbot, specifically), so I had one of them spectate me. They could tell I wasn't. I earned the respect of the entire clan that day. Which is rare, because they are very elitest, and for a good reason. Rarely did the encounter someone who could even keep up with them, let alone wipe the floor with them.

I'll always remember that game. I played the Excessive mod for 4 years. I suck now that I don't play a steady 8 hours a day, but I can still mop the floor with most people. That was the best that I've ever played.
