TeamMedics was
formed in the early part of 2006 by four friends who decided to
start a squad run along a strong ethos of camaraderie and non
cheating. Each founder member brought different skills to the team
and it was recognised that as new members joined they also would
bring new skills and talents and these also would be used for the
collective good of the squad. Soon after starting
TeamMedics we brought up our first
server both for ourselves to play in and also for other like minded
persons to play in. This was and is situated in the home of one of
the founders and our voice circuit was also situated there. A few
short weeks after this our second server went on line situated again
in the home of one of the founders. It should be noted at this point
that the founding members are currently the command staff. A purpose
built (albeit at extreme low cost) voice server was built and the
initial voice circuit was kept as our back up this enabled the
various servers to be split between the members and individual band
width and therefore cost was kept down. A month after starting the
squad our forum and squad home page was set up at
www.teammedics.com and people who played
in our servers were asked to come and visit. Quite a few of those
who played in our servers were those we knew from playing before
TeamMedics
were formed and those were quickly asked if they would like to join
the squad. From this nucleus we have gradually grown, the
requirements for joining the squad have never been performance
related but more along the lines of does this person fit with the
ideals of the squad and does he/she (TeamMedics
is an equal opportunities recruiter) have some ability that would
help the squad. The result is that we are more a large family than a
formal squad. TeamMedics
has a high regard for other squads and operates a policy of only
recruiting from within its own servers. We are more than happy to
help other squads with any problems that it is within our power to
help with. Perhaps our abilities are not as great as those of larger
teams but we try to share what we have. We still hold to our
original ideals of camaraderie and non cheating. What does
TeamMedics have
planned for the future, well work is underway on a server capable of
running joint ops and we hope to have that up and running full time
in the near future. Also a DFX server is planned and this is also
hoped to be up and running shortly. We have been known to play and
host the odd team deathmatch and despite getting kicked, knifed and
shot are either brave enough or foolish enough to come back for
more. We are not so proud that we can not learn from other squads
nor so aloof that we wont help other squads.
