@Team history file

March 2006:

The @Team was founded in the last days of March 2006. In the beginning of TMN, many players were pleased to play on a server named “DDB Server”. There was a good selection of Nadeo Advanced Maps available on “DDB Server”, which were the most favored maps at this time.

The players met regularly on “DDB” to fight against each other, to learn and to improve their skills. Since many players met day to day on this server, everybody got to know each other and because of this fact, the “DDB Family” was founded.

In the last days of March Commander and Talon were talking about TMN, DDB and other topics via ICQ. Just for fun and not meaning it seriously, they concluded that it was about time to put a sign of recognition in their nicknames because they were active on the same server.

At this time there were only few clans even if the first well known teams like RMTF and *DM* were founded. So the idea was born to put a simple “@” in front of their nicknames. In the evening they arranged to meet each other on DDB and there was such a big surprise about the “@” sign in their nicknames that many members of the “DDB Family” awfully liked this idea and joined immediately. The @Team was born.

After two days the basic team was made up of @Commander, @Talon, @XXXNFSHunter, @DamageII, @DDark, @Lowrider and @Josh78.

April 2006:

During April the DDB Server went offline and there was big confusion because after losing their home server a new one with the desired maps was not in sight. But with the busy work of @Commander and willing assistance of @Muskelman, who made his own server available the @Team could establish a new TMN server. Because of the solidarity to the old DDB Server, the @Team decided not to call the new server “@Team Server” but to keep “DDB” in the name further on. “DDB won’t die/by @Team” was born.

November 2006:

After foundation on 20th march 2006 the @Team had numerous members, all part of the famous and fabulous @community. As we started driving, the @Team quickly became one of the top nadeo racing clans, holding a huge amount of records and being very competitive on nearly every Nadeo-track.

As time runs forward the @Team gained most TOP 10 times on the old Nadeo maps on TMX

January 2007:

Best Nadeo map leaderboard was on Nadeo map “F1”, on which @member gained 6 out of 10 available TOP-records!

March 2007:

@Team gained most TOP1 Times on the old Nadeo maps on TMX

Professional @Team homepage goes online. After one year of a self scripted page we turn to a modern, content based community homepage.

August 2007:

Some time passed, and we turned towards tracks of a new and very ambitious mapper: “Swensen”. Also on his maps, we soon became a very strong team, with many records noticed by the TM-community.

September 2007:

Well, there weren’t always good times for the @Team. Cause of the original small @ family it was hard to see, that more and more member gone inactive and than the team splitted up in “Nadeo map player” and the new “Swensen-mini map” player. On one day Hunter and Rangar left the team and it was a hard time to hold the team together. Without real ambitions, without our great various of server and without admins the team bobed up and down for some months.

November 2007

Swensen noticed the @Team ambitions on his maps. Proud, that we loved his tracks and were nearly unbeatable on them, Swensen even dedicated a whole map-series to our team: the “@country” series.

Januar 2008:

Trackmania Nations Forever “TMNF” was previewed by Nadeo first time. @Team gained the TMNforever.de and the TMNF.de domain as sign for our TM love.

We decided to make a Trackmania TOP List, to offer a page where teams could present theirselfs on one page. So the Trackmania TOP list by @Team goes online.

At this Time TstarGermany thought of creating a Trackmania help site. With the help of some other guys and one @Team member, @Whizkid, TMcreative.com was founded.

Summer 2008

After a rebuild of the Team structure and a new direction of the aims of the @Team, back from fun wars to more professional ambitions in tournaments and leagues, our team won the TM Masters CUP.

Summary:

The @Team is an international team of helpful, nice and of course FAST players. There is no Team-Leader, decisions will be discussed by the whole team and resolved by majority. Somebody who wants to join the @Team has to be present on the Team Server, has to have a capable character and should be able to drive a little bit. So work hard to perhaps receive an offer of the @Team. The combination of speed, kindness, humor and charm makes the @Team well known. Because of the own server and the homepage it is clear that the @Team is the

“Best-TMN-Team”.

HAVE FUN to join our server!
