This news item is intended to give two really well written and researched articles the attention they deserve and make sure any Crossfire reader will have the chance to read it.

With a project idea that could be well continued and get some following works the contributer proficio not only interviewed four of the best ET players, he also gives you the chance to connect the particular player with his country by listing some background information about the countries. His article "Scandalnavia" is fun to read and interesting at the same time. Make sure to not miss this great interview collection delivering you an insight into the Scandinavian ET history.

Ladies and Gentlemen throughout the years the Scandinavian countries have had players among the very best in Return To Castle Wolfenstein & Enemy Territory. Quite comfortably the virtual world lends itself to a disguise, a special place where people can be whoever they want to be or do whatever they like to do.

In this article I will be taking you to a journey where I will be talking with 4 of Scandinavias finest and most experienced players. The people of these countries share all common bonds wrought by their culture and history. It sets their world apart – and is poised to inspire yours!

Next to the interviews, ClanBase admin Killerboy put a lot of effort into a personal project that gives you some nice information about the development and progress the Enemy Territory activity at ClanBase has made. "The Ladder Report" features three years of ET competition at ClanBase and can confirm that ET's activity is indeed rising again for about half a year now, clearing out the assumption that ET competition at ClanBase is decreasing.

I have started working on this "CB Ladder Project" for the past 2 months. Initially this project was started by a really oldschool ClanBase Admin called Dussander, his job was to supervise Unreal Tournament, Guild Wars, AOE3 and apart from that he was a real asset to the Chiefs of Ladders (CoL) of ClanBase. You may ask "why?", apart from his Chief of Ladder work, he also made a huge ladder report of every game and every ladder on ClanBase, he started doing this from February 2007 and retired from the CB Crew in 2008. After he retired, this activity report was no longer continued as it was stated to be "a work for a trained monkey". I have gathered the information from March 2008 till December 2009 for ET only, and it took me around 2 months to gather all the information, as all of this had to be done manually. When i heared about all the outsanding work Dussander had done, I got very interested in continuing this report for our beloved game, Enemy Territory and maybe add another puzzle to Wesbo's Column - Why did we stop using the ladders.
