When I first got into CSS I did a lot of server hopping, not really sticking to the same one for very long, that was until I stumbled upon the Fire-Button Dust 2 only server, I squatted on that server for a number of months, mostly due to the great bunch of players and admins that it had.

During my time on that server I made a number of good friends who I would regularly team up with...This is what started the thought process for forming my own CSS clan.

[tBl] basically got started one night when Shirty, ShoddyUK and I had consumed a vast amount of alcohol....We all played CSS and one drunken night I put the idea of forming a clan to them....We knew that Catman would be in so we decided to give it a go...

Ever since that drunken night back in September 04 [tBl] has been slowly expanding.....mostly due to me(Gricey) getting drunk and recruiting players, the first of which was Blood Red.....Sadly Shoddy and Shirty have become inactive now but Catman and I are still flying the flag for the founding members!

So if u want to join [tBl] your best hope is that im intoxicated..lol

Shortly after forming the clan we got ourselves a server, we started playing there instead of fire-button and some of the fire-button regulars followed us, we had a pretty strong base for the clan from recruiting people like Blood, Steinos, Dusty, Sweep, Malevolance and Infamy so [tBl] was on its way to becoming a fully fledged CSS outfit...

Sadly the fire-button server was taken offline with no warning, the way in which this happened caused me to loose touch with a lot of good folk who used to play on there...So in a shameless effort to promote our CSS server I have ripped off their name in the hope that some of the old fire-button players will someday find it and return home...

[tBl] is very much a fun clan at heart, we do play quite a few PCW's and have been in Enemy Down, although we are inactive in any league at the moment, we have a lot of new members since the fire-button days and I think that we are a pretty strong clan.

If your a Dust2 fan (like who isnt), get on our server and add it to your favourites...I think thats far too much about our history, no ones ever going to read all that! :-)
