The Fort 2 Logo

The Fort, in its original form, goes back a very long time. It was originally created under the name Fort Bundy back in the days of the first Team Fortress, which – as some might recall – was a mod for id’s Quake (QuakeWorld TeamFortress). To be honest I wasn’t around to witness the Fort in its original glory. Its founder and main writer was Bundy, who was a respected member of the american TF community and its growing clan scene. To my knowledge the creation of the Fort and its main purpose was to comment on the ever-changing face of TF throughout its rapid development and – with its increasing popularity – to make a stand against the also increasing numbers of lamers and cheaters which started to afflict the game. Bundy used the term of “Player Accountability” to promote the idea that people should be held responsible for their attitude and actions in the online world (and more specifically on game servers).

The Fort 2 is a great blog focused on Team Fortress 2 musings and ideals. The main writer is a great guy and good friend I met through Who Dares… Grins called TeaTime. He overflows with ideas that he used to post on our forum, making us read post after post after post until another Who Dares… Grins member decided to make him have his own blog (thanks r007). Go check it out, bookmark it and subscribe to the RSS feed. Interesting stuff.
