Funky International Pirate Superstars

brief introduction

History

In the summer of 2004, several old school and inactive UK Quakeworld players decided that 2on2 wasn't sating their QW appetite, and that they would like to play 4on4 once again in NQR season 5.

And so, Dan, Easy Frag (ez), Dratstab (Drat), Manny, Gaz and Jilted, each a former member of either StrikeForce, The Shadow Warriors or Kamikaze TeleFraggers, decided to band together to form "FIPS". "FIPS" was the phonetic proncunation of the abbreviation "FPS" (as in "Frames Per Second") as stated by HangTime at a StrikeForce LAN party around the turn of the millennium. Later, FIPS developed a full name to go with the tag: Funky International Pirate Superstars.

FIPS lasted for 2 NQR seasons before the members joined other clans or went back to inactivity. The clan finished 2nd in NQR season 5 division 7, and then lost in the first round of the Bronze Cup playoffs in NQR season 6.
