After their clan ceased playing TF, Lord Bishop and VorTeX decided to form Z Factor as an alternative to the somtimes monotonous activities of being in a clan. Shortly after deciding to do Z Factor for sure we asked our old teammate AKULA (new to map making at the time believe it or not) to join us in our quest of eternal editing. Then we secured the talents of the ever slick SCarton to help with the design and maitence of the webpage we would need. Of course this never quited worked out with SCarton as planned but life has a way of doing that to you. Over the past many months our initial vision of Z Factor has changed and continues to evolve with every new thought we have.

Basically...any damn thing we feel the need to do. Though since our inception all that we have been working on has been maps for TFC, we will be expanding into new regions at some point. It has always been planned that we would expand into other games though to date that hasn't happened, yet. Though some of us have ventured into other areas extensively, nothing has been released to the public to date. This will change with time.

The first person to say something silly like we are copying of off Clan BSP or anything like that, will be publically and brutally beaten to death. We have nothing against them or no real support of them cause we do not know them or have anything to do with them. We will not claim to be better then them or vice versa. We won't even claim to be the first as we have no clue when they came into existence. The point here is, don't say this cause it is senseless shit. We only clarify this subject based on the fact that people have a tendency to be stupid about such things based on our experiences online. Since the time we have been on Planet Fortress many other mapping groups and the like have appeared on the scene...isn't that lovely?

We are interested in expanding but anyone interested must display a pleasent personality of sorts (people are unique but being an asshole does not count) and have an ability to edit game related material. Such examples are map making, creating textures, 3D modeling, and just about anything else that can be considered editing. An ability to demostrate what you claim is also important. If you are interested feel free to contact one of us unique individuals and let us know. As with any thing like this. We always have the final say in who can be apart of us. Of course you are given free reign of your work and we are here more to support one another in our work then to create great big projects together.

We are always interested in what the community thinks of our works so feel free to contact any of us about a specific idea or the message board is also at your disposal. If you find a bug or a problem with something we created check the contacts page and contact that specific author about it as they are the only ones who can fix it. If you see something you don't like and would like to criticize you are always welcome to. But be warned, do it constructively and with respect or you will be just ignored, thereby defeating your whole purpose in contacting us in the first place.
