****************************************************************************** ** ** ** H'Pak Match Summary for 2002 0921: ** ** ** ****************************************************************************** _____________________________________________________________________________ +020921 2127 DHT Dead of W StB - TS/HS Win Dead of Winter 2 Team: HedgeSnake, Don't Shoot Me!, Twin Saks NKI defends the Bacon at the center hill. It looks like NKI is going to shred TS/HS's Archers but then the Ghols get a bit shy and retreat. This combined with a renegade TS/HS Dorf may mean the difference in the game, as the final wave of TS/HS Stygian Knights go against a more-wounded NKI group. Still it's a *close* ending! Good one. _____________________________________________________________________________ 020921 2135 DHTv Dead of W StB - TS/NKI Win Dead of Winter 2 Team: HedgeSnake, Don't Shoot Me!, Twin Saks, vinylrake ~OoH~ (There might not have been enough time on this one) TS/NKI defend the Bacon at the center hill. HS/VR come in in pieces, which may not be a good thing this time. Their final push looks promising, but TS/NKI have a slight edge with numbers around the Bacon and overwhelm HS/VR. Check out the pile of Stygian Armor! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020921 2147 DHTv Amsterdam LoH - HS Wins Amsterdam / Dwarven Dutch Holiday FFA 4: HedgeSnake, Don't Shoot Me!, vinylrake ~OoH~, Twin Saks HS is *so close* *so many times* early in this game that it's painful! ;) It's raining *hard* as we approach the whistle, and NKI is looking *good* with a tough, huge Purple arc closing in on the flag - but... HS manages to keep the flag *UNCONTESTED* at the end! lol! *NICE!* _____________________________________________________________________________ 020921 2208 DQTv sleepyho ^ StB - TS Wins sleepyho / Sleepy Hollow (heavy arms) sakcannon_warlock (not used) FFA 4: Twin Saks, Queor, vinylrake ~OoH~, Don't Shoot Me! TS and VR go at it, as do NKI and Kaor - but at the end it's only TS and VR anywhere near the Bacon! lol! _____________________________________________________________________________ *020921 2224 DHQT.Green Par^ StB - TS Wins Green Paradise v1.1 / Green Paradise sakcannon_warlock (not used) FFA 5: Twin Saks, vinylrake ~OoH~, HedgeSnake, Queor, Don't Shoot Me! OMG!! *What an ending!!* HS fends off a Kaor onslaught and moves the Bacon to its final resting place. HS's Knights are looking good - it looks like VR may take it uncontested at the whistle, but luckily TS contests and then VR comes in, followed by NKI. VR's Dorf is the major factor in Sudden Death, taking out most of NKI's forces but leaving that one JMan intact, who along with a NKI Ghol keep it contested. Then - out of the *blue* (ha!) - in comes a lone TS Dorf to clear the area around the Ball, tag it, and vanish in a Puff of Glory! NKI's JMan is too busy healing - VR is too busy Dorfing the JMan - and both notice too late that their two contesting units (a VR Thrall and the NKI Ghol) were both blown away by that TS Dorf just before TS tagged it and died! LOL!! TS wins it with no units remaining! **NICE!!** _____________________________________________________________________________ +020921 2244 DHQT.Smells_1 ^ StB - Kaor Wins Smells_1.1G / Smells Like The Plague (Champions) sakcannon_warlock (not used) FFA 5: HedgeSnake, vinylrake ~OoH~, Twin Saks, Queor, Don't Shoot Me! Champions! Tough one, especially those Archers! VR takes the Bacon and is having a bit of a problem with those corners! ;) HS is constantly on him, and takes his Archer out early. Check out the battle between HS and VR! lol! Hard to tell whose side that VR Dorf is really on! ;) VR *just misses* doing a satchel-motivated launch (HS strikes again!) and HS *just misses* (and I mean millimeters here folks) tagging the Bacon uncontested after Kaor at the end! Good one! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020921 2256 DHQT.Smells_1 ^ StB - VR Wins [100%] Smells_1.1G / Smells Like The Plague (Champions) sakcannon_warlock (not used) FFA 5: HedgeSnake, vinylrake ~OoH~, Twin Saks, Queor, Don't Shoot Me! HS tags it and he and NKI have a nice little one-on-one. Meanwhile, TS gets sandwiched in the worst possible way between Kaor and VR - ouch! NKI moves it near him on a center ledge, but suffers a one-two-three punch consisting of a VR fire arrow barrage, some serious Friendly Fire problems, and a Kaor onslaught. Now it's up to Kaor and VR, but VR has the Bacon, the ledge above it, and 100% of his troops remaining - which he keeps to the end! Nice! _____________________________________________________________________________ 020921 2317 DHQT.BrokenArr^ StB - HS/TS/Kaor Win BrokenArrow_v1 / A Broken Arrow (2 team light) Dwarf Rockets 3b NR WP 2 Team: HedgeSnake, Queor, Don't Shoot Me!, vinylrake ~OoH~, Twin Saks FUNK: HS/TS/Kaor win as a team! Funky! :) Not sure if invincible Rocket Dwarves were meant to be on in this one! ;) HS/TS/Kaor take the Bacon and stash it into the corner, where it remains uncontested. _____________________________________________________________________________ 020921 2338 DHQT.Gimble in^ StB - NKI Wins Gimble in the Wabe Dwarf Rockets 3b NR WP FFA 5: HedgeSnake, Queor, Don't Shoot Me!, vinylrake ~OoH~, Twin Saks Again not sure if invincible Rocket Dwarves were meant to be on, but it does make the casualties mount more quickly! ;) NKI *dominates* in this one (check out his ending Damage!) - some very funny Rocket hits (notice no rebounds? that's the NR) including a TS "Strike" and a Kaor "Wipe Out". VR loses his last RD to a NKI Ghol Assassin and it's all over! _____________________________________________________________________________ +020921 2349 DTv Knuckle o^ KoH - VR Wins [KoB] Knuckle of the Oasis v1.1 / Knuckle of the Oasis (Light) sakcannon_warlock (not used) FFA 3: Twin Saks, vinylrake ~OoH~, Don't Shoot Me! Very evenly matched for most of the game, but TS is racking up the time on the Ball (King of the Ball) all along. NKI is hammered by TS but watch out for VR's Dorfs! Oh man - they come in and clean up on TS, giving VR enough time on the Ball to take the win. _____________________________________________________________________________ #+020921 2358 DTv Amsterdam^ KoH - VR Wins Amsterdam / Dwarven Dutch Holiday sakcannon_warlock FFA 3: Twin Saks, vinylrake ~OoH~, Don't Shoot Me! VR is all over the flag in this one - a rare thing to see a non-blue flag for most of the game! ;) Two of VR's Dwarves are particularly tough at the flag, and one seems nearly invincible (he gets knocked down to the lowest possible health at one point) - but heck, his name is "Carnage" (check it out!) Looks like VR has a lock but then TS comes in and can actually take it - comes down to a one-on-one duel (although VR still has one more Dorf in reserve). Good one! _____________________________________________________________________________ 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: NKI is "Don't Shoot Me!" and Kaor is "Queor" (in honor of Queso!) ______________________________________________________________________________
