Welcome to the Suicide Kings web site.
We are a group of friends who play the excellent online 3D game Tribes 2 and the Half-Life mod Counterstrike.

Our Kings, Puck & |2| used to play as independents, but became disillusioned with the non-organized games they were joining and decided to form a Tribe of their own - one that would emphasize both the competitive and fun aspects of the game.  We're serious about strategy, but not to the point of forgetting that this is a GAME.

Now that our friends have caught up and are playing games online, the Suicide Kings "Tribe" (or Clan... or whatever) has become bigger.  Not everyone's a kick-butt player, but we all have fun playing together, and that's the real point.  Be sure to check out our Counterstrike Server "Suicide Kings Counterstrike 1.0 Server #1" - it's up 24/7 and seems to run pretty well.

 

A brief history of the Suicide Kings
Puck and |2| met during the Quake (1) days, before Quakeworld was out to rescue HPBs from one second delays in movement. Fierce competition turned into friendship and then a working relationship.  Over time, we got new games and both became proficient in mowing down our enemies. |2| has always been better at the "twitch-fight" while Puck is a more strategic player. 

After a while, we grew bored of simple deathmatch games and started playing team-modifications like LMCTF for Quake II.  When Starsiege: Tribes hit the stores, Puck ran out and bought it, despite the extreme lack of hype for the game.  Two days later, he bought a second copy and gave it to |2| to force him to realize how great this game is.  The game's balance is spectacular, and their playtesters deserve a huge round of applause for not pushing the game towards an overpowered, non-fun game.  (Note: This is why we have a distaste for most of the Tribes Mods, like Renegades - they can be fun for a while, but the weapons are outrageous)

We found ourselves being offered positions in Tribes, but always felt we'd start our own, and finally did.  We wanted a name that was fun and not just something cool with the word "Killah" in it, and finally decided on Suicide Kings because of our blatant disregard for kill/death ratios when playing.  Getting the flag is all that's important!

Our Tribe only has three official members right now, with several who will join once we've run them through their initiations.

 

Tribes 2!
Oh sweet zombie Jesus it's great!  Puck has nearly finished work creating his Tiny God -- a K7-Thunderbird 1.4Ghz with 512MB 266Mhz DDR RAM, an MSI MS-8822 Geforce3Pro, and 21" Trinitron monitor.  The upgrade from a GF2MX400 to the GF3 doubled his framerate, so you all better watch out!


 
Ah, the joys of totally ruling a server.  :)  When Stonewolf and I work together, the other team is in a heap of trouble.  Just you wait until |2| gets in there with us!

 

I want to join!
Ah, you've noticed that we don't have a "join" button.  There's a reason for that - Suicide Kings is a tribe of friends, in the same geographic area.  We will be adding new members, but it will be invite only

 

We challenge you!
Sure, that'd be fun sometime, though it might have to wait for a while.  If you'd like to catch us in a game, just look for  }SK{ in your buddy list in Tribes or Counterstrike, or join our server!
