The Oak series of bots are written by John Crickett. Neil Henderson helped with The Oak, creating and hosting the website as well as arranging the custom skins and sound clips.Crispian Pearce (AKA Krunch-X) developed the Oak II website on Telefragged.
John was introduced to the Quake series of games in 1996 by Krunch-X. He developed The Oak in early 1997 and began work on Oak II as soon as the SDK was available for Quake 2. During 1997 John worked with Team BDP on their Quake mod, Ebb of Life. In July 1998 John graduated from the University of Swansea with a degree in Computer Science, unfortunately after that John begain writing business software which left no time for bot programming.
After leaving university, John chose to focus on the development of business systems, and progress rapidly though several leading blue chip software companies, such as Compaq, UK Online, Science Systems, Westinghouse Signals culminating in a role as an Internet Consultant with PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
John now runs an Internet Consultancy, Crickett Software Limited with his brother Tristan Crickett. He has recently started another business (Trivial Business) with his fiancé Maria. John maintains a personal site with articles and links to a number of business and software related resources.
