****************************************************************************** ** ** ** H'Pak Match Summary for 2002 0810: ** ** ** ****************************************************************************** _____________________________________________________________________________ +020810 2049 BHTv sleepyho StB - TS Wins sleepyho / Sleepy Hollow (classic) FFA 4: Baak'lor, Tea St. Ain, HedgeSnake, vinylrake Baak starts with the Bacon, moves up near the West bridge, then decides to try putting the Bacon on the bridge! It works *really* well - until it is overrun by TS's Thrall (after being attacked by HS *and* VR!). Baak thought that the Bacon was just lying under the bridge contested, but it appears that anyone *above* the Bacon also were considered touching it, so when Baak abandons the bridge with his JMan, it goes uncontested! Funky!! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020810 2106 BHTv Leagues f StB - VR Wins Leagues from Nowhere / Leagues from Nowhere FFA 4: Baak'lor, HedgeSnake, vinylrake, Tea St. Ain VR starts with the Bacon and - you guessed it - takes it to his *favorite* part of this map! lol!! Baak tries to sneak in but is quickly repelled - then Baak runs into TS - time to go! Baak then successfully dislodges the Bacon and runs with it to the other side of the crater - only to run smack into TS again! OMG!! Baak is reduced to some Archers and one Ghol in the blink of an eye - but manages to help contest the Bacon in a *nice, prolonged Sudden Death!* ... It looked like HS might have it at the end, but his JMan is just too into killing everyone! lol!! But check out how close this ending really is - *and* how nice VR places a few Dorf shots *and* how lucky VR gets with some duds!! ;) Great Game!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020810 2123 BHTv Borogove_ StB - Baak Wins Borogove_v.1.0 / Defilement of the Borogove (4 start) FFA 4: Baak'lor, HedgeSnake, vinylrake, Tea St. Ain VR tags the Bacon and defends for a *long* time, but gets sandwiched between HS, TS, *and* Baak! Baak manages to fend off TS with the help of the terrain... _____________________________________________________________________________ 020810 2142 BHTv BrokenArr StB - Baak & TS Win BrokenArrow_v1 / Six Broken Arrows (6 team light) 2v2: Baak'lor & Tea St. Ain, vinylrake & HedgeSnake Baak & TS take it to a really good spot. VR & HS get in some good flame arrow shots, and make a good run for it at the end. _____________________________________________________________________________ 020810 2203 BHNT.BrokenArr StB - Baak & VR Win BrokenArrow_v1 / A Broken Arrow (2 team light) 3v2: Baak'lor & vinylrake, Nosmelli & HedgeSnake & Tea St. Ain Baak & VR take the Bacon to yet another new spot on this map - a good one to defend as well. NKI & HS & TS make a good run for it from both sides, but Baak & VR keep it. _____________________________________________________________________________ +020810 2217 BHNT.sleepyho ^ StB - Baak & VR Win sleepyho / Sleepy Hollow (slug-O-rama) Dwarf Rockets 2 3v2: Baak'lor & vinylrake, Nosmelli & HedgeSnake & Tea St. Ain That Baak & VR Rocket Dwarf on the bridge is *hot*!! Check out the excellent launch by NKI & HS & TS after Baak & VR try to run with it - what a spot to land in! It never leaves... :) _____________________________________________________________________________ *020810 2234 BHNT.Picket Fe StB - NKI & HS & TS Win Picket Fences / Picket Fences - Dwarf Riot 3v2: Baak'lor & vinylrake, Nosmelli & HedgeSnake & Tea St. Ain Wow!! A *tense* game with a *really tense* ending!! The cannons are taken out early - HS *almost* sneaks in a flare kill there! NKI & HS & TS take the Bacon back to an *excellent* spot (and one we've never seen after so many games on this map!) - Baak & VR try to work their way in, but just can't get close to these guys! Nicely stashed and defended!! Are there *any* flares left by the end of this one?!? ;) Great Game!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020810 2305 BNTv A Borderl StB - Baak & VR Win A Borderland Odyssey / Aqualonian Killing Spree 2v2: Baak'lor & vinylrake, Nosmelli & Tea St. Ain NOTE: We played this as a "one side defends, then we switch - two minutes to set up a defence, no moving out of quadrant (4-start) or half (2-start)" NKI & TS accidentally push the Bacon *very close* to Baak & VR, such that they grab it and become the defenders!! NKI & TS try to steal it in the closing seconds, but it's a no-go. _____________________________________________________________________________ 020810 2323 BNTv A Borderl StB - Baak & VR Win A Borderland Odyssey / Aqualonian Killing Spree 2v2: Baak'lor & vinylrake, Nosmelli & Tea St. Ain NOTE: We played this as a "one side defends, then we switch - two minutes to set up a defence, no moving out of quadrant (4-start) or half (2-start)" Baak & VR are defending this time - takes two minutes just to get to the Bacon! Check out how Baak & VR get it unstuck! (That water didn't look deep to me!) NKI & TS have been stocking up on flame arrows and pus - the whole field is ablaze when they attack! ... But did anyone notice where VR launched the Bacon? LOL!! How would anyone get it back with no Soulless or Spiders?! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ #+020810 2340 BNTv Hedgerow ^ Cps - TS Wins Hedgerow / Bustle In Your Hedge-row (wacky) sakcannon_warlock FFA 4: Baak'lor, vinylrake, Nosmelli, Tea St. Ain NOTE: We were trying to make this a Sak Cannon game, but apparently Warlocks don't show up on this mesh unless you set it to Legendary... Complete Chaos!! Check out Baak and NKI going at it almost the entire game! And Baak runs into VR and finally TS at the end! ... This one is all TS! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020810 2355 BNTv The Four StB - NKI Wins The Four Leaved Fen / The Four Leaved Fen (4team) FFA 4: Baak'lor, vinylrake, Nosmelli, Tea St. Ain Baak grabs it, then NKI Wights him and TS grabs it - then VR has it - then TS finally takes it. But... TS quickly finds himself sandwiched and *everyone* wants that Bacon! A very strange ending - TS can't ignite his Wight *or* bring out his Thrall - Baak contests for a second, then can't seem to contest anymore - NKI takes it! Nice! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020811 0009 BNTv Hedgerow ^ StB - Baak & VR Win Hedgerow / Bustle In Your Hedge-row (dark) sakcannon_warlock 2v2: Baak'lor & vinylrake, Nosmelli & Tea St. Ain *Very strange* with Lich Mage units - sound great but not very effective! Baak & VR unsuccessfully try to get NKI & TS's Lich Mages (are they really worth it?) - NKI & TS get a good Dwarf shot in on Baak & VR - then it's Baak & VR's turn... _____________________________________________________________________________ 020811 0022 BNTv Hedgerow ^ StB - Baak & VR Win Hedgerow / Bustle In Your Hedge-row (wacky) sakcannon_warlock 2v2: Baak'lor & vinylrake, Nosmelli & Tea St. Ain Baak finally figures out it's the Legendary setting that on Warlocks for this mesh - so we get Sak Cannons at last! *And* **12** Flare Dwarves! :) Just about the time Baak is mentioning to VR that they *can* start close since it's an 8-start mesh, VR announces they *are* close! Baak & VR get a *pair* of really nice cannon shots in that *devastate* NKI & TS. Followed by a cannon shot and a flare Dwarf that removes the NKI & TS cannons, it's all downhill from there for NKI & TS... _____________________________________________________________________________ $+020811 0037 BNTv Myopia_v1 StB - Baak & VR Win Myopia_v1.2 / Myopia Live Ghols Rioting 2v2: Baak'lor & vinylrake, Nosmelli & Tea St. Ain The Pumpkins are really fickle on this one! Some great little battles - but it comes down to the end: Baak & VR run with the Bacon and with some well-timed shots deflect NKI & TS with just a second or two to spare! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020811 0053 BNTv Chimera M^ KoH - Baak & VR Win Chimera Multiplayer / Fosgarach Ruillick Dwarf Rockets 2 2v2: Baak'lor & vinylrake, Nosmelli & Tea St. Ain WOW!! KoH with Rocket Dorfs on this map - neither of which have been played before - it's just *too fun!!* Some great shots - some great rebounds - this is just *pure fun!!* :) _____________________________________________________________________________ +020811 0105 BNTv Chimera M^ KoH - NKI & TS Win Chimera Multiplayer / Fosgarach Ruillick Dwarf Rockets 2 2v2: Baak'lor & vinylrake, Nosmelli & Tea St. Ain Even tighter than the previous game - NKI & TS definitely get just a little bit more time on the flag! Many *hilarious* rebounds in this one! And check out those trees when they get hit by Rockets! Talk about *detail!!* OMG!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020811 0116 BNTv Redsand_v KoH - Baak & VR Win Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood (Dwarven) 2v2: Baak'lor & vinylrake, Nosmelli & Tea St. Ain NOTE: Baak (as host) is struck by yet another quirky map setting - this is not the first time that the Trow mesh comes up when the Dwarf mesh is selected for this map! Funky! Baak & VR's Trow comes down hard and fast on NKI & TS - they look surprised! After the Trow Incident, NKI & TS come back with theirs, but it's just not quite as bad! Although he does keep getting time on the flag even when turned to stone! Funky!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020811 0130 BNTv Redsand_v StB - Baak & VR Win Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood (Dwarven) 2v2: Baak'lor & vinylrake, Nosmelli & Tea St. Ain NOTE: Baak (as host) runs out of ISP time in the last 14 seconds of this game! Good thing NKI & TS's last Dorf couldn't even run halfway to the Bacon in that amount of time! Baak is having problems tonight! It was *supposed* to be the KoH game that we wanted *last* game - this time the units are right, but it switches to BC and then Baak sets it to StB without thinking! lol!! NKI & TS get the Bacon first from the single Baak & VR Ghol, but Baak & VR manage to wrestle it from their grip and defend. Baak & VR get a nice pus hit on a NKI & TS Dorf that is poised and dangerous followed by *another* pus hit on a ground of NKI & TS Ghols that also could have been deadly! (This is funny because those last pus Ghols were meant to attack them but only moved nearby - then attacked automatically when the NKI & TS Ghols moved a fraction of an inch - and the resulting attack blows up *all* the Ghols - including themselves! lol!) Baak & VR get a couple of good Dorf shots in - but check out that one NKI & TS Dorf - he survives a double-Dorf attack! He becomes the one survivor too! ;) _____________________________________________________________________________ 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 # = Deciding Game to win The Shield of Honor s = Slide Show Notes: ______________________________________________________________________________
