I just went back and found the emails, and ahead of time we were given a shortlist of five games that we would be playing three of:
> CounterStrike, Delta Force 2, X Plane, Operation Flashpoint, Falcon 4
I think that was what miffed me about the unknown mod - I was already good at CS, and had no doubt been practising on demos of DF2 and OF, only to be presented with something different to what we'd been told.
Also, regarding the other team members, Philip (the hacker) was Simon's friend, but I think "Metalhead" was Luke Redpath?
"Bash" might have been Beseku or Dan Cross, both ex-regulars who were in the original email chain.
