Ancient History

 

It all started back sometime in September 1999, Rogue Spear was released when 56k modems were running hot and MSN Gaming Zone was the place to hook up.  Two guys from Boston and two guys from Pennsylvania.

An individual (DARK CHYLD *BCJ * ) from Boston always had great servers up and running and for whatever reason had the best pings to us boys here in Pennsylvania.  Another player also made himself known from the Boston area (Chainsaw *BCJ * ) and his son Nicholas (8-CLOWN-8) who was the youngest of us CLOWNS at 4 years of age at that time and would fill in for his dad (Chainsaw *BCF*) when away from the computer.  These guys thought that they were the greatest playas eva.   Already having a group with *BCJ *  which stood for (Bearded Clam Juice) but not a clan, just friends from Boston with gaming in mind. 

From Pennsylvania myself (Cellar Dweller) actually a lone wolf when online gaming and a known sniper from the Unreal era and (Santa Cloz) new to online gaming with the purchase of his first computer would enter their server and  proved that there were more than a few  great players out there.  With all of us thinking that we were the greatest players.  Night after night we proved to one another that we all had something in common, we were all jack offs, great first person shooter players and spewed attitude.  We had one goal in mind, killing and dominating all Rogue Spear  servers, Urban Operations and Covert Operations and the Zone as a whole.

Somewhere along the line (DARK CHYLD *BCJ * ) came up with an idea of becoming a clan, myself (Cellar Dweller) a lone wolf, totally against making or joining any clan, rejected this idea.  (DARK CHYLD *BCJ *  ) and (Santa Cloz) constantly brought this to my attention about being a loner and  kept wanting me to join forces with them.  After several negotiations and everyone agreeing " To hell with clans" and to become a team that would embarrass and walk all over clans, otherwise CLAN KILLERS.  The idea was sprung THE CLOWNS were born.  (DARK CHYLD *BCJ * ) came up with the name and came up with our arm patches, the Napster head was our trade mark and each had a specific color.  We all then chose a number, pretty much a favorite number.  Not all CLOWNS had an arm patch only the originals did.  The number really didn't  mean anything other than a way for us to distinguish one from another.

We now had five CLOWNS

1-CLOWN-1

 4-CLOWN-4

5-CLOWN-5

7-CLOWN-7

8-CLOWN-8

We now had a Boston - Pennsylvania connection.

Along the way a couple CLOWNS strayed and joined clans, but anonymously, their respected clans not knowing that they were those jack offs that were killing them earlier the CLOWNS.  Nothing was more fun than when we were all CLOWNS killing their respected clan members without their ever knowing.  (Chainsaw *BCJ * ) joined one of the greatest known clans on the Zone LFD and (Santa Cloz) and (DARK CHYLD *BCJ * ) joined DEA.  The CLOWNS were constantly asked to join clans and by the most part declined, myself anyways.  Once those few CLOWNS realized that Clans were a joke the rest is history. 

Other clan members who obviously weren't happy with their clan and saw what a force we were asked if they could also be a part of history and add their expertise to what was now known as the CLOWNS.

Some of these new additions were friends of and players who frequented the (DARK CHYLD *BCJ *) and now CLOWNS server.

Added was our first and only female CLOWN to date (GIJANE *|:|M4H|:|*) also from the Boston area and (Bulletsponge *|:|M4H|:|* ) from Oklahoma both clan members of *|:|M4H|:|*.

We now were giving birth to all the bastard children on the Zone.

Now up to seven CLOWNS with our new additions

20-CLOWN-20

12-CLOWN-12

Somewhere soon after their additions we added a few more CLOWNS, one being a friend of (Bulletsponge *|:|M4H|:|* ) known as (Watch My 6) from Kansas and another being a friend of (DARKCHYLD *BCJ*) known as (Big Cox *BCJ*) also from Boston. 

13-CLOWN-13

2-CLOWN-2

The CLOWNS now were adding folks left and right that also had the same goals and expectations that the rest of us had.  Another clan member was added from the *|:|M4H|:|* folks being (Razor *|:|M4H|:|*) a friend of (Bulletsponge *|:|M4H|:|* and GIJANE *|:|M4H|:|*) from Virginia and our oldest member.

11-CLOWN-11

We now had folks from all over the United States and different age groups, all over the age of 27 with the exception of our youngest clown (8-CLOWN-8) and with more to come in the future.

The CLOWNS also became famous for what is now known as The CLOWN Firing Squad many a clan member and online player have met their fate in the sites of this awesome display of force.

The CLOWN Firing Squad was simply, all of us lining up in a crouched position somewhere on a map, a hallway, or closet and as a player or clan member would come around the bend or into that  hallway or opening a closet door, we lit them up with a flurry of gun fire only to imagine the look on that persons face as he came upon such devastation, what a horrifying situation, then the CLOWNS would embarrass that player further by engaging that player in a ritual gang humping.

Our second claim to fame was what we called a Bull Rush, this was where a few of us would mow down the opposing team with shot guns a blazing,  they never stood a chance, some of us would rush for the door and to the opposing teams start and would simply mow them all down in the process, while a couple stayed behind picking off any stragglers just in case a CLOWN brother had fallen.

Of course after many clans played against us and other players saw our techniques they simply claimed them as their own, our teamwork was un-surpassed.

Microsoft Game Voice then came on the scene and everyone jumped on board and purchased one.  NO THIS ISN'T CHEATING - Just saves on typing, besides if you can't grow with the times then stay behind.  This addition increased our skills and made it impossible for anyone to compete with such skill and accuracy that we already possessed.   This also made for a great coordination for a great CLOWN Firing Squad.

We've had many people begging  to join our clan and we constantly told them "WE ARE NOT A CLAN!!!".  We are simply a bunch of CLOWNS.  Over the years several CLOWNS have come and gone and we have many new additions. 

By the way beggars don't become CLOWNS only friends and family do.

The CLOWNS had been banned and kicked from so many servers,  not just because we are great but also because we have an attitude to uphold.  The CLOWNS love nothing more than being banned or kicked because we are kicking your ass and nothing is more satisfying than being called a cheater.  First and foremost not a single CLOWN has ever cheated or had to, we are just that good.  SORRY!!!

"WAKE UP AND SMELL THE GUN POWDER BECAUSE YOU WERE PROBABLY JUST KILLED BY A CLOWN!!!"

The CLOWNS have since moved on and can be seen in many online game servers from Battlefield 1942 to Vietcong and Raven Shield of course, we all would have graced Americas Army as well but the CLOWNS name format is not permitted.  You can see us in there by our other player names. 

We now have new additions to the CLOWNS with the onset of new games.  We've added a friend of ours here in Pennsylvania (14-CLOWN-14) and my (Cellar Dweller)'s brother from Louisiana (9-CLOWN-9) both new to the online gaming circuit and great additions to what is already one of the greatest online gaming groups assembled.

14-CLOWN-14

9-CLOWN-9 

THE NEW GAMES

We now play Battlefield 1942 more than any other game and usually own the skies with (4-CLOWN-4) expertise and precision bombing and dog fighting, just check out his kill/death ratio on BFSTATS.  (7-CLOWN-7) also joins (4-CLOWN-4) in the skies to help out while the rest of the CLOWNS take bases at will with great tank work by (14-CLOWN-14), (5-CLOWN-5),  (9-CLOWN-9)

We've been known to come in a game shorthanded or down several hundred ticks and bring the team back to victory or purposely put the team up a several hundred ticks then jumping to the other team and winning the game outright.  "Of course anything for a challenge."

We own the desert maps and Omaha Beach hands down

After cleaning several groups up in Omaha Beach others have started using our very own created technique here also.  Charge the beach with the Germans.  (4-CLOWN-4), (5-CLOWN-5), hitting the beach  and (7-CLOWN-7), (12-CLOWN-12) sinking the ship with the big guns usually within a few seconds- Teams finally started moving the ship. 

We may not always win the battle but we always win the war, especially if we have our way, by the most part even cheaters can't beat us and it may not be only with our play but with our words.  We've been known to throw a few inflammatory remarks now and then.

The CLOWNS also created the greatest sky diving duo when playing capture the flag in Battlefield, where (4-CLOWN-4) in a Stuka and (1-CLOWN-1) take to the skies and (1-CLOWN-1) bails out over the base, grabs the flag, and (4-CLOWN-4) swoops down and picks him up and scores.  This technique can also be used on conquest maps as well really pissing off the poor sap that just changed it for their team.  Of course this technique has since been copied as well as our other techniques mentioned here..

With the advent of new games coming we may see new faces added to the CLOWNS  and our HISTORY page will grow as well as our PROFILES.

One such individual from the former clan SAI -  (Stealth Assassins Inc.) has just been added with the release of Battlefield Vietnam, this person played against and with the CLOWNS back in the days of Rogue Spear and was recently added to the force that we call the CLOWNS.

10-CLOWN-10 

We've carried over our Battlefield 1942 skills over to the Vietnam war in Battlefield Vietnam, such as our great CLOWN SKY DIVING TEAM  - (7-CLOWN-7)  - flying the spawn chopper while all the others rain down upon a base with such force that most do not even know what hit them when the base becomes our  very own.

We by the most part play on NVA side ONLY because of the disadvantages with weaponry and how MOST people always join the USA side making the VC even that much more shorthanded - You will never see a CLOWN complain about this (SHORTHANDED) this is the CLOWN way, we are even more than happy to play CLOWNS  VERSUS!!!

Our stats can be seen at two different sites on the internet

Since the release of Battlefield Vietnam we have once again taken over another great game and have started our domination in this game as well as many other new games, and with this, we have noticed many people requesting or asking to be a CLOWN and also many have taken it upon themselves to create a CLOWN like name - only those listed on this HISTORY page and those within our Profiles section are true CLOWNS and any other people impersonating a CLOWN with a similar name is just  mentally ill and not affiliated with us in any way.

We know what it takes to be a CLOWN and if you DO NOT meet these requirements, that's just too bad.  We know how great it is to display our proud name within games and the fear it can bring to others and the feeling of being one of the BEST, but it is just wrong to try and REPRESENT if you are NOT qualified to do so.

For a full list of the games old and new the CLOWNS currently play and of course DOMINATE check out the GAMES page

We aren't just the greatest players but some of the biggest innovators to gaming on the NET.  Many of the techniques seen are created by one of our very own CLOWNS and copied by others.

 We have such an array of folks from all over, all with one goal in mind KICKING YOUR ASS all over the NET and being the best that we can be.

You can read each CLOWNS profile with the Profiles link on the main page.

You can also see which CLOWN you may have seen in a particular game by going to The Games link on the main page and clicking on a game picture and what other names that CLOWN might have been known by.

Screenshots also can be seen from the screenshots link on the main page.  To get back to the main page either click History above or use your browsers back button.

 

Feel Free to come find the CLOWNS in your favorite game for a real ass kicking, if not just for a war of words
