Suddenly Baak is caught between *both* VR and HS and *just misses* getting out of the way of VR's prolonged attack. Meanwhile, HS takes VR down! _____________________________________________________________________________ +021109 2143 BHv wasteland StB - HS Wins wasteland_v1 / Wasteland: Hero Arena. FFA 3: HedgeSnake, vinylfake, Baak Baak's Archer Hero is *smokin'* but while Baak takes the center hill from VR, HS does a *nice* job of Stealing the Bacon from right under everyone's nose! Nicely done, HS!! :D _____________________________________________________________________________ 021109 2159 BHv Redsand_v StB - VR Wins Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood (Dwarven) FFA 3: HedgeSnake, vinylfake, Baak VR takes it cliffside - Baak manages to dislodge it via a Dwarf on the valley floor, but *check out VR's shot!* - a perfect Dwarf grenade blows the Ball *even further* back up the cliff wall! lol!! HS sneaks in a *nice* Kamikaze Dwarf against Baak, and despite Baak's Pus Ghols and Wight, Baak *just misses* dislodging that Ball one last time. _____________________________________________________________________________ 021109 2214 BHv Smells_1 Ral - VR Wins Smells_1.1G / Smells Like Giants In Here (Team) FFA 3: HedgeSnake, vinylfake, Baak Ok - every team is split in two *and* it's an 8-Flag Flag Rally! TOTAL CHAOS!! VR pulls off a win *just* before HS! Baak is hammered by HS's Myrks and never quite recovers... _____________________________________________________________________________ 021109 2230 BHv Smells_1 StB - Baak Wins Smells_1.1G / Smells Like Giants In Here (Team) FFA 3: HedgeSnake, vinylfake, Baak Baak's Myrks are Cuissinarts in this one, helping him end with most of his army intact! _____________________________________________________________________________ 021109 2247 BHNv Titus_Gro StB - Baak Wins Titus_Groan / Titus Groan FFA 4: HedgeSnake, vinylfake, Baak, Nokilli NKI starts in the center with the Ball, laying satchels next to it for a future launch. Baak sneaks in a Dwarf causing an early launch - it lands *smack* in the center of the deep pool and is tagged by HS's lone Ghol shortly after! NKI and Baak do a brutal (and ongoing) fir'Bolg exchange - NKI gets in a nice first Pus Ghol attack, and Baak gets in a revenge attack later. VR has a few troops hanging by the pool's edge, tagging the Ball near the end, but Baak has good timing on this one, coming in and overwhelming VR while keeping NKI far enough away not to contest at the whistle. _____________________________________________________________________________ 021109 2300 BNv wasteland^ KoH - VR Wins [KoB] wasteland_v1 / Wasteland: Dark Arena. sakcannon_warlock FFA 3: Baak, vinylfake, Nokilli Despite a small battle at the Ball between Baak and VR, VR takes it and runs - and this makes all the difference! Check out NKI's Fetch! lol! He decimates Baak's Soulless, especially that last shot that *just* gets them before they can throw their spears! lol! VR is shredding Baak with his Soulless as Baak approaches the Ball - NKI too. Baak manages to wipe out VR even with a Mortar Dorf, but it is way too late... _____________________________________________________________________________ +021109 2314 BNv Titus_Gro^ StB - Baak Wins Titus_Groan / Titus Groan sakcannon_warlock FFA 3: Baak, vinylfake, Nokilli VR starts in the center and drops the Ball over the cliff - Baak grabs it and runs, placing it at the edge of the deep pool. As Baak goes for the high ground above the pool he discovers he is completely sandwiched between NKI and VR! Doh! NKI's fir'Bolg are *relentless* - VR's pitch in as well - Baak runs to the edge of the map but is *still* hammered! While NKI and VR duke it out a bit, Baak sneaks in a Dwarf for some fir'Bolg revenge! As time runs out, Baak sends in his Warriors while again attacking NKI with another Dwarf - and along with an assist from VR's Wight, it's enough to overcome everyone else at the Ball! FUNNY: VR's single Thrall comes back out of the water in the Post Game and starts hacking at Baak's Warriors - one Warrior attacks back, but it looks like he's telling him to "knock it off" rather than trying to kill him! lol! _____________________________________________________________________________ 021109 2322 BNv Picket Fe^ KoH - NKI Wins Picket Fences / Picket Fences - Dwarf Riot sakcannon_warlock FFA 3: Baak, vinylfake, Nokilli VR nails Baak in this one, taking out his Cannon early and thwarting an attempt to sneak in on his own. NKI picks off VR's final Dwarf and there's only his Cannon left... _____________________________________________________________________________ 021109 2335 BNv Redsand_v^ StB - VR Wins (vs NKI/Baak) Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood (Trow) sakcannon_warlock 2 Team: Baak, vinylfake, Nokilli VR *nails* NKI/Baak right at the start! NKI/Baak search for the rest of VR's troops only to discover he has a Cannon! (Sak Cannon's were left on from the Wasteland game!) - although the Cannon is not particularly effective! ;) NKI/Baak has one last Maul that gets inside VR's Mortar Dorf's range, but as the Maul swings for the final kill, VR's Maul takes him out! LOL!! This single action was enough to demand a rematch! ;) _____________________________________________________________________________ +021109 2349 BNv Redsand_v StB - NKI/Baak Win (vs VR) Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood (Trow) 2v1: vinylfake, Nokilli & Baak NKI/Baak blitz VR - and it works! VR's Warlock is a menace however, and nearly swings it by *almost* wiping out NKI/Baak's last three Myrks! (Check it out: they *all* go "blue" but then one turns back!) Now it's just a matter of time - and patience - as NKI/Baak hunt VR down... _____________________________________________________________________________ $ 021110 0001 BNv Redsand_v StB - NKI/Baak Win (vs VR) Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood (Trow) 2v1: vinylfake, Nokilli & Baak Tied at one each - this is for the gold! :D NKI/Baak flank VR, taking out his Mortar Dwarf and some Maul, which is a *huge* morale boost for NKI/Baak! ;) From here it is a fairly even battle, but once VR's Soulless are gone things start to look bad for VR... _____________________________________________________________________________ #+021110 0014 BNv The Untam KoH - Baak Wins The Untamed Lands FFA 3: Baak, vinylfake, Nokilli Baak's Ghols really like the Flag! And his Archers are *TOUGH*! It's all NKI and Baak in this one, and Baak's Warriors appear to just be spectators until the final seconds! Even so, it's a *close* game - only won by 25 seconds! _____________________________________________________________________________ 021110 0025 BNv Going_to_ KoH - Baak Wins Going_to_Town / Going to Town (Dark) FFA 3: Baak, vinylfake, Nokilli Nothing like battling it out in the center of the village! ;) Baak's Ghols terrorize VR and Baak's melee surprise-flanks NKI! (NKI's Dorf also helps Baak inadvertently!) _____________________________________________________________________________ 021110 0035 BNv The Blade LoH - Baak Wins (vs NKI/VR) The Blade Garden v 1.0 / The Blade Garden [Brute Force] 2 Team: Baak, vinylfake, Nokilli Baak blitzes half of NKI/VR's army and they never recover... Ouch! ;) _____________________________________________________________________________ *021110 0049 BNv sleepyho LoH - Baak Wins sleepyho / Sleepy Hollow (slug-O-rama) FFA 3: Baak, vinylfake, Nokilli VR starts at the center - yet again - leaving a beautiful star pattern of satchels as he abandons the Flag for NKI and Baak to fight over. Baak takes a stance at the center hill and his Dwarfs are *red hot*!! Everyone is at the Flag for *one tense grand finale!* :D Great Game!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 021110 0100 BNv sleepyho LoH - VR Wins sleepyho / Sleepy Hollow (slug-O-rama) FFA 3: Baak, vinylfake, Nokilli Another rematch! :D This time VR overwhelms Baak at the Flag and it seems neither Baak nor NKI really show up! Doh! _____________________________________________________________________________ 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: VR is "vinylfake" in this one. ______________________________________________________________________________
