Rummy, why are you not yet a legitimate God?

I'm posting this in the history thread, because this gang started as just a bunch of regular TF2 players, playing on a "Cheers" server where everybody knows your name.

First successful scheduled game that was non-mod or steam oriented game (TQ wasn't on steam at the time).

Founded mainly by me but with great help from Vandam, game play started in April 2008 (can't recall the exact date).  Main players were Vandam, Kor, Exanimo, Eschatos, Toiletduck and myself.  Broonor joined in later on and Versus was there from the start but I believe he got bored of it later on.  Also Surf and Miss' Surf tried to play but failed to get it to launch.

TQ Wednesdays went good for a good month and a half but unfortunately died out due to conflict of schedules (TD had hockey to watch), Kor and Vandam hacking and grinding the hell out of the game in their spare time, Eschatos refusing to skip any part of the story, and other random hiccups. 

On paper it didn't look like a long lived success but for the time period and the fact that our member base was very minimal, it was quite an impressive scheduled game event for the time. 

Note Yes I am aware I am not even half the wordsmyth that Rummy is but I thought I should add this.  So Rummy if you come across this feel free to take my ramblings and turn them into art
