****************************************************************************** ** ** ** H'Pak Match Summary for 2002 0831: ** ** ** ****************************************************************************** _____________________________________________________________________________ +020831 2100 BGHT.Gimble in StB - VR Wins Gimble in the Wabe FFA 5: Baak, HedgeSnake, vinylrake, Two Saks, Gnowekihlaye HS pulls a nice little sneak on VR at the start - Baak is feeling the pinch on the hill - he and HS get into an Archer War - but it comes down to a big dogpile on the Bacon. Baak's Dorf is going strong but is killed by that one NKI Knight he forgot to dispatch... :) VR comes in with excellent timing. _____________________________________________________________________________ 020831 2124 BGHT.Smells_1 StB - Baak/VR/HS Win Smells_1.1G / Smells Like My Nemesis In Here (Team) 3v2: Baak & vinylrake & HedgeSnake, Gnowekihlaye & Two Saks N/T take it to the depths of The Maze, but forget about the Ledge of Death - VR inflicts good damage from the protected area until charged by N/T Warriors! Luckily HS has made it just in time to rescue VR! Great Teamwork! Baak goes to work on the Maze with a brutal series of Warlock Fireballs - oh those five Dwarves were *so tempting*!! ;) Good Game! _____________________________________________________________________________ *020831 2145 BGHK.BrokenArr StB - TS Wins BrokenArrow_v1 / Six Broken Arrows (6 team light) FFA 6: Baak, vinylrake, Gnowekihlaye, HedgeSnake, Kaor, Two Saks NKI and Kaor get into it right away - NKI's Maul and Mortar Dorf make a deadly combination... HS tags the Bacon, then VR, then Baak's Ghols completely fumble their attempt at pus'ing VR (lol!), then HS takes the island again. HS gets squeezed off the center hill after putting up a *good* fight. It comes down to one *big* end battle - and guess who's there? NKI's Deadly Mortar Dorf!! ;) *Lot's* of back-and-forth melee with the occasional mortar shell - Baak's JMan gets Wighted twice! (he's gonna need a dry cleaner for sure!) - but TS has the upper hand unit-wise and manages to pull off a true steal at the end, exiting the dogpile with a Zerk-led parade pushing the Bacon well out of contention. Nicely done!! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020831 2201 BGHK.Hedgerow KoH - Baak Wins Hedgerow / Bustle In Your Hedge-row (wacky) FFA 6: Baak, vinylrake, Gnowekihlaye, HedgeSnake, Kaor, Two Saks Wow it is *easy* to suddenly disappear in this one! ;) VR gets pinched between HS and Baak and Baak delivers the trigger for a deadly cascade of satchels - in fact, Baak is relentless against VR! HS does the same to Kaor and NKI does the same to TS!! Total chaos ensues on this one - but TS is getting time on the Flag even after he is out! NKI is sitting comfortably at 100% for a *long* time in this one, but Baak finally gets him near the Flag and takes it for awhile. Then it's up to HS (anyone else notice HS is becoming a *real* threat!? :) ) to take back the hill, but Baak's got the high ground and takes it by *two seconds*!! Great Game!! FUNK: Looks like we ran out of "projectiles" - at one point Dorf Bottles no longer produce flames! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ 020831 2217 BGHK.Green Par StB - TS/NKI/HS Win Green Paradise v1.1 / Green Paradise 3v3: Baak & vinylrake & Kaor, Two Saks & Gnowekihlaye & HedgeSnake No Unit Trading on this one - strange units too! B/V/K lose their Dorf early and it spells disaster! They also miss blowing up most of T/N/H's melee with a double-Wight blast! Dang! ;) Looks close at one point, but T/N/H come out with a huge melee advantage at the end. _____________________________________________________________________________ +020831 2228 BGHK.The Untam KoH - Baak/VR/Kaor Win The Untamed Lands 3v3: Baak & vinylrake & Kaor, Two Saks & Gnowekihlaye & HedgeSnake Good solid battle throughout! Close ending too! Classic Myth! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ $ 020831 2242 BGHK.Chimera M KoH - Baak/VR/Kaor Win Chimera Multiplayer / Fosgarach Ruillick 3v3: Baak & vinylrake & Kaor, Two Saks & Gnowekihlaye & HedgeSnake Fun KoH game - *lots* of Fire Arrows!! B/V/K take a melee lead and it's downhill from there for T/N/H... TS gets dropped near the end, but B/V/K have a strong advantage, even if TS's Dwarf would have reacted sooner (funny it didn't auto-fire?). _____________________________________________________________________________ +020831 2306 BKTk.sleepyho StB - NKI/TS/Kaor Win sleepyho / Sleepy Hollow (dark) 3v2: Baak & vinylrake, knoughkeelai & Two Saks & Kaor OMG!! B/V are *killing* 'em, but don't have enough guys at the Bacon at the end, which is *under the bridge*!! Everyone realizes this in the last few seconds... lol!! Good one!! Nice Steal!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020831 2324 BKTk.Amsterdam StB - Baak/VR Win Amsterdam / Conquest Of Yer-Ks 3v2: Baak & vinylrake, knoughkeelai & Two Saks & Kaor Pus is the key on this one! :) Check out the nasty FF incident with all those N/T/K Ghols! Looks like one of them fired a pus packet at the B/V Ghol *just* after it died and set off the pus packet that hadn't exploded before on the bridge!! OUCH!! B/V get a nice fireball in on N/T/K's Soulless, but check out the return fireball! Takes out a B/V Warlock *and* Mortar Dorf! Nice!! This guy has *got* to be stopped! From there begins a Ghol Pus Assault by B/V that is just *brutal!* Ended with an off-the-bridge bounces-off-the-canal-floor pus packet Soulless kill! ;) From there B/V dominate... _____________________________________________________________________________ 020831 2340 BGKT.Picket Fe KoH - Baak/VR Win Picket Fences / Picket Fences - Dwarf Riot 3v2: Baak & vinylrake, Two Saks & Gnowekihlaye & Kaor The Cannons are taken out *early* in this one - mutual assassination! :) Tons of action on the hill! _____________________________________________________________________________ $+020831 2356 BGKT.BrokenArr^ StB - Baak/VR Win BrokenArrow_v1 / Six Dwarven Cocktails (6 team slugfest) Dwarf Rockets 2 3v2: Baak & vinylrake, Two Saks & Gnowekihlaye & Kaor Friendly Fire incidents abound - TS self-destructs a bit, Baak sneaks in some Ghols to hunt down and cause FF, killing two - VR and Baak both lose one to self-destructs - Baak/VR sneak in another Ghol that manages to miss getting hit by *three* rockets *and* rebounds one, causing a Double-FF death! OMG!! Comes down to a tense Sudden Death! Can't move away from the Bacon!! Good one! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020901 0011 BGKT.BrokenArr^ StB - Baak/VR Win BrokenArrow_v1 / Six Dwarven Cocktails (6 team slugfest) Dwarf Rockets 2 3v2: Baak & vinylrake, Two Saks & Gnowekihlaye & Kaor Starts off with a pre-Truce Rocket from B/V - luckily it doesn't hit anyone! But B/V's Ghols are in so close that when fired upon T/N/K lose 3 Rocket Dorfs! OUCH!! One more and it's down to two - but those two are *elusive*!! Long stretch of silence, wondering but thinking there are more out there! ;) Check out Baak's long-shot - a ctrl-click shot when a T/N/K RD *just* became visible - direct hit! Lucky! T/N/K try to launch it, but it just doesn't happen. Good one! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020901 0026 BGKT.BrokenArr^ StB - TS/NKI/Kaor Win BrokenArrow_v1 / Six Dwarven Cocktails (6 team slugfest) Dwarf Rockets 2 3v2: Baak & vinylrake, Two Saks & Gnowekihlaye & Kaor The Rocket Dorf 3-death Karma is returned as B/V lose 3 out of the gate! DOH!! From there *everyone* appears confused (as verified after the game)!! One too many Rocket Dwarf games mb! ;) Check out the T/N/K Fire Bombing of the East side of the map - think that B/V Rocket Dorf is dead mb? :D NOTE: This is our 500th Official Steal the Bacon game!! Wow!! :D _____________________________________________________________________________ 020901 0054 BGv Knuckle o BoP - Draw (3-way) Knuckle of the Oasis v1.1 / Knuckle of the Oasis (Dark) FFA 3: Baak, Gnowekihlaye, vinylrake Baak manages to fend off both NKI and a small VR force - after going for NKI's Ball with no luck (it was stuck! DOH!!) After trying this it appears this game is better for two team games. :) _____________________________________________________________________________ 020901 0108 BGTv Raid on t StB - NKI Wins Raid on the Plains FFA 4: Baak, Gnowekihlaye, vinylrake, Two Saks TS nails Baak early, but Baak manages to show at the end! ;) Big battle at the end, but NKI has the advantage and takes it - nicely done! _____________________________________________________________________________ # 020901 0121 BGTv Redsand_v LoH - NKI Wins Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood FFA 4: Baak, Gnowekihlaye, vinylrake, Two Saks Baak gets triple-teamed in this one and charges VR in desperation, wounding VR but getting knocked out of the game! TS comes in and starts to fight NKI but then turns to VR - once VR is gone, TS is not strong enough to overcome NKI, who ends with 89%!! Wow! Love VR's comment: "Nice percussion" - check it out! It *is* cool! ;) _____________________________________________________________________________ # 020901 0135 BGTv Hedgerow StB - VR Wins Hedgerow / Bustle In Your Hedge-row FFA 4: Baak, Gnowekihlaye, vinylrake, Two Saks A rare non-game in the last game! No one shows to contest the VR-owned Bacon! Doh! ... We must be tired! ;) _____________________________________________________________________________ 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: This week there was a tie for *both* The Sacred Sword & Axe *and* The Shield of Honor!
