CLAN BIO
As many others (who were born in the 70ies) played some DOOM in the 90ies and when Quake got launched in 1996 that was pretty much it. Co-founded one of the first Norwegian clans, Dead Presidents, with a group of friends. So my original nick was [DP]Lincoln, but of course since everyone said the shortname "Link", that got stuck, and when the DP era came to its end i just kept the nick "Link". Sorry to those who think i ever played Zelda!
Co-founded Little Green Men with 
Lordlynx. Didn't agree much on the name but Lordlynx refused so LGM it was lol. Moved on and co-founded Los Ocho Locos with another group (yes we were 8 players), a clan that had nice activity in the period it ran, we even played in the North European Clan League.
Then started the Whatever era. Whatever was founded by Paradoks and myself. Paradoks moved on pretty quickly after Whatever started, he was ofc above our skill level so that made sense, and he co-founded Slackers. Paradoks' irl friend, Kelvin, came on board and he was doing a lot of stuff like a kickass homepage etc. He also helped out with the infamous Lame-ever updates that ran for a while (lets see if i can make a wiki page for that some day). For a period Lame-ever got pretty popular and updates was demanded by the ppl. Kelvin also started up the CS-divison of Whatever, a thing that went on for years and i belive they became pretty good in the Danish CS scene, at least they were very active. How ironic! Whatever ran for 2-3 years and activity was nice and we had some consistency in the squad, amongst them the founding members of The Axemen.
Whatever finally dried up and i joined The Axemen for 2 seasons of NQR. Followed by 1 season with Bad Game Slackers and 1 season with Zundbyberg_aZZ_KickerZ.
After that i was pretty much fed up with a lot of stuff and a QW-break was incoming. Little did i know that IRL took its toll and the break lasted more or less over 10 years.
After that long break i wanted to play some again and I managed to get some old legends back in the game as i founded Outdated who played in EQL21. Sniket and Sectopod were legends of the game and oldtimers like Effie, Billy, Aikon (rest in peace dear friend), amongst others joined in and had a good time.
After this adventure things faded out again and it would take another 3 years before i got active again.
2019: Back for good? The clan/4on4 scene was pretty much dead in 2019 so something had to be done. So i founded GetQuad! along with Praxismo (John). The rest is history as it spawned several seasons and i was back in activity and i still am. Obviously playing in draft tournaments means you didn't join a team/clan for very long but Aviators kept on going for several tournaments in the new 4on4 era that started with GetQuad!
Admin Bio
Under editing still...patience...
After attending the very first big quake Lan Event in Norway, things would never be the same. Organizing stuff was merely a means to an end; to play quake, and if something needed to be done to play, i would help out as best as i can. I am not 100% sure of the correct timelines, but this is what my memory tells me:
Asked 
Vertigo to re-open Duelmania for another season and he approved. Ibsen coded the page and we were ready to go.
CHSD had an ongoing map project where the goal was to come up with more maps for 4on4, as the scene was struggeling to get a wide acceptance for a 4th and 5th map in 4on4 (was generally voted on). It had come to a stop and i was asked by 
Apollyon to "give it a try". A long story short: It resulted in the CMT maps, as i worked with mappers Zaka (cmt1b), 
Gromm (cmt2), 
Baby roo (cmt3), 
Slayer (British Player) (cmt4) and 
Qurnel (cmt5pro).
Joined the NQR-crew in NQR season 3, as Challenge Smackdown was ending its era. Admin in season 3 and 4. Ran NQR-CMT 2 seasons (league for cmt maps only). Set the standard for news updates on played games to make more content. Left the crew before season 5 due to controversy regarding maps.
Custom Duel Map Tournament. Ran some duel tournaments on new/custom maps and the activity/participation was ok.
Started a new project for all game modes but motivation ended and it didn't run for very long. Probably the last thing i did before the 10+ year break from qw.
The 4on4 scene was in a poor state inn 2019 so i co-founded GetQuad! with 
Praxismo. Got 80 signups within 1 week and 4on4 was back in shape. From April 2019 to December 2022 GetQuad! spawned 6 draft seasons, 1 nations cup and 2 custom tournaments.
Did a dm4 duel tournament with 
Lordlame.
Did a duel tournament with Lordlame. One of the best duel tournaments i ever saw online because of the incredible small margins. So many players knew how to play this and the drama was relentless. Many times you could just flip a coin for the outcome.
Did a 2on2 tournament with the assistance of Lordlame, Praxismo and Alice.
Founded QWDUEL League and went with a world wide project.
Founded Qlan War Tournaments. After GetQuad!'s 6 seasons of 4on4 draft tournaments it was time to get Clans back in action. A dedicated discordserver with many players who wanted to play Clans again made it happen. From January 22 to April 24 it spawned 5 seasons, 1 elite tournament and 3 custom tournaments. Hooraytio and Alice organized the last season. Hooraytio then resurrected European Quake League (EQL Season 22) and the Clans and discordserver were transferred to EQL. Qlan War Tournaments resurrected the clan scene and it was only natural that a legendary league like EQL continued with the clan scene.
