****************************************************************************** ** ** ** H'Pak Match Summary for 2002 0504: ** ** ** ****************************************************************************** _____________________________________________________________________________ 020504 2113 BKNT Thaw StB - NKI-Vaal/TS Wins Thaw / Thaw Before the Storm 2v2: NKI-Vaal & Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor & Kaor Out of 8 starting positions both teams start next to each other! Baak/Kaor's Ghol brigade get hammered after trying to grab the Bacon at the start of the game - they *almost* get NKI/TS's Dorf (so close!) but he gets in a good shot and wipes out most of them! From there NKI/TS push the Bacon ahead and there's a brief battle that ends with NKI/TS slightly ahead - even after a Ghol Pus attack by Baak/Kaor. NKI/TS take the high ground with a perfect defense of the Bacon and Baak/Kaor can't quite overcome it... _____________________________________________________________________________ +$020504 2156 BKNT Myopia_v1 StB - NKI-Vaal/TS Wins Myopia_v1.2 / Myopia Dark 2v2: Terd St. Ain & NKI-Vaal, Baak'lor & Kaor NKI/TS grab the Bacon and take to the edge of the field. Baak/Kaor get the good end of an exchange between the Trow, eliminating a Dorf and a Fetch in the process. After that Baak/Kaor lose their Soulless to NKI/TS's Zerks that seem able to swim through anything! lol! There's a close exchange of units right down to the end, but Baak/Kaor lose track of the enemy and just miss taking them out! Great Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020504 2214 BKT Myopia_v1 StB - Baak Wins Myopia_v1.2 / Myopia Live Ghols Rioting FFA 3: Baak'lor, Kaor, Terd St. Ain This mesh is F-U-N-K-Y and fun to play! All Ghols and *lots* of things to pick up - including *exploding* Pumpkins and Watermelons that appear to Mass Heal! Dwarf Mortars, Satchels - and of course Pus Packets! Just a fun little film to watch - check out Kaor & Baak doing a Pus Exchange as well as Kaor slipping through a Teleporter to have Baak auto-attack with a Pumpkin and suffer some friendly fire! *Close* ending too! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020504 2241 BHKN.The Great S-C - **Close! :)** The Great Library Co-op 5: Baak'lor & Kaor & Terd St. Ain & HedgeSnake & NKI-Vaal OMG! Our *first* five-way Co-op! :) And it's *CLOSE*!!! Baak takes a gamble at the end of possibly breaking free from the Ghols to get through the World Knot - and it doesn't work! :( (Most times if the J-Man stops to heal he just dies anyway - but alas!) Great game! Looking forward to more! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ *020504 2253 BHKN.Dead ManC KoH - HedgeSnake Wins Dead Man's Chest FFA 5: Baak'lor, Kaor, Terd St. Ain, HedgeSnake, NKI-Vaal OMG! :) Kaor and Baak go at it on the sidelines while NKI and TS send most of their forces to the flag. Baak joins in with his Warriors and shoots a bunch of fire arrows at the Dorfs and the satchels left lying by the flag - Boom!! This clears the way for TS to take the flag - but watch out! Here comes HS with *four Wights*! **BOOOOOOOOM!!** The center of the Island is suddenly *empty*! lol! HS's remaining forces take the high ground at the flag - six Archers and three Dorfs! Needless to say, no one else takes back the flag after that! :) Great Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020504 2308 BHNT Venice StB - Baak Wins Venice FFA 4: Baak'lor, Terd St. Ain, HedgeSnake, NKI-Vaal (This one has a FUNKY ending!) NKI tags the Bacon first and then HS comes in and sits on the center area waiting for the mad rush to arrive! When it does it's NKI on the East wall and Baak on the West! There's also a *lot* of Dorf exchanges - NKI picks off both of Baaks! The ending is VERY FUNKY: First the Bacon is pushed through the wall up onto the ledge and then when it is pushed along the ledge it *DISAPPEARS* into the cracked wall area! Whoa! Baak had clicked on the Bacon with his Warriors and they head straight for it! It appears to have ended up on the West side of the center "cracked" wall! (You can see TS's Thrall head towards it at the end as well!) FUNKY! I have a possible explanation for this: The cracked walls can be blown apart by the Mortar Dorfs leaving an "opening". It's possible that this opening behaves like the wall is not there if the Bacon enters it in an odd way... _____________________________________________________________________________ +020505 0029 BNT Borogove_ StB - Baak Wins Borogove_v.1.0 / Rain of the Borogove (4 start) FFA 3: NKI-Vaal, Terd St. Ain, Baak'lor Baak grabs the Bacon on the hill - and waits... NKI comes around behind TS and while TS is attacking Baak, NKI attacks TS! (TS also had some big lag after the first attack which didn't help!) Then it's NKI's turn to come in on Baak - NKI's Archers are *brutal* and are shredding Baak to the point where Baak grabs the Bacon and runs! Baak *finally* gets a double-mortar shot in that halves NKI's advancing army - and gets one more in to boot! After that NKI has a bad friendly fire Mortar shot that sets Baak up for a comeback! Meanwhile, TS has snuck in his last remaining Thrall and they are sitting by the Bacon! While Baak deals with NKI, TS is quietly stealing the Bacon! lol! Lucky for Baak he has enough time to contest it! Funny bit: Baak's Mortar Dorfs have been hammered by NKI's Archers most of the game - Baak's last Dorf gets a final shot in after the whistle! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ Legend: * = Game Of The Week + = Game Of The Week Runner Up $ = Deciding Game to win The Sacred Sword & Axe of Shaal'a Manx ^ = Deciding Game to defend The Sacred Sword & Axe of Shaal'a Manx s = Slide Show Notes: * NKI & TS take back The Sacred Sword & Axe!
