****************************************************************************** ** ** ** H'Pak Match Summary for 2002 1116: ** ** ** ****************************************************************************** _____________________________________________________________________________ *021116 2045 BHIT.BrokenArr Stm - (Tie) VR Wins and HS Wins BrokenArrow_v1 / Six Dwarven Cocktails (6 team slugfest) FFA 5: Baak, Thousand Stains, HedgeSnake, vinylrake, IKeelU *** OUR 1000th OFFICIAL GAME!! WOW!! :D *** LOL!! Stampeding Squirrels on Broken Arrow Slugfest! What more could you want? :) VR and NKI go straight for the Flag - NKI gets 11 out, VR 10. Then Baak comes at the Flag but NKI manages to kill just one of his Squirrels at the last second (curse you NKI! lol! ;) ), so Baak gets 11 out too! But VR is the sneaky one tonight! Watch as two more of his Squirrels scurry to the Flag *right in front of Baak's Ghols!* (they stare - dumbfounded!) Baak is heavily defending the Flag, but HS manages to sneak all 12 (!) of his Squirrels in as Baak turns full attention on NKI! lol! Meanwhile, TS's Squirrels appear to be taking a little swim! (Actually we don't yet completely understand why the game ended with TS's 12 Squirrels still on the field - funky!) Well played all! :D _____________________________________________________________________________ +021116 2107 BHIT.Leagues f StB - NKI Wins Leagues from Nowhere / Leagues from Nowhere FFA 5: Baak, Thousand Stains, HedgeSnake, vinylrake, IKeelU VR starts in the Center (surprised?), setting the Ball for launch via a nice little pile of satchels... Baak has a seriously failed attempt to get VR, and VR does launch it! BOOM! TS takes it to a *nice* spot on the side of the map - it appears all but impossible to pry him out of his defensive position - Baak has to go through VR and thus attacks him yet again, but this leaves only a Baak JMan in the end! It looks like TS is going to take it but HS *just* manages to Contest it! Nice! HS and then NKI come piling in, overwhelming TS's final forces - NKI takes it! Good one! _____________________________________________________________________________ 021116 2131 BHIT.Leggo II StB - NKI/VR Win Leggo II Arena / Leggo II Arena (Alt 2 Team) 3v2: Baak & Thousand Stains & HedgeSnake, IKeelU & vinylrake 1 of 3 NKI/VR pummel Baak/TS/HS and they demand a rematch! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ 021116 2139 BHIT.Leggo II StB - Baak/TS/HS Win Leggo II Arena / Leggo II Arena (Alt 2 Team) 3v2: Baak & Thousand Stains & HedgeSnake, IKeelU & vinylrake 2 of 3 This time it's Baak/TS/HS's turn, and the game is definitely closer! _____________________________________________________________________________ +021116 2154 BHIT.Leggo II StB - Baak/TS/HS Win Leggo II Arena / Leggo II Arena (Alt 2 Team) 3v2: Baak & Thousand Stains & HedgeSnake, IKeelU & vinylrake 3 of 3 Wow! This is *really close!* :) Comes down to Barrels in this one! Baak/TS/HS drain all the nearby Green Barrels to get extra "stun/heal packets" for their Bishops - which is key! It looks like Baak/TS/HS are going to dominate the game, then suddenly NKI/VR keep coming back! It's *HUGE*!! And Baak/TS/HS get a little too close to one of those Orange Barrels! ;) *Close Ending!* A challenging game well played by all! :D _____________________________________________________________________________ 021116 2216 BHIT.Green Par StB - TS Wins Green Paradise v1.1 / Green Paradise FFA 5: HedgeSnake, vinylrake, IKeelU, Thousand Stains, Baak VR dumps it in that tricky deep-water area! It appears VR and Baak are both having serious lag problems, as they are just plain wiped out! lol! Comes down to NKI and TS at the Ball. _____________________________________________________________________________ #+021116 2231 BHIT.Redsand_v Stm - TS Wins Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood (Trow) FFA 5: HedgeSnake, vinylrake, Thousand Stains, IKeelU, Baak TOTAL CHAOS!! Chickens & Trow! lol! *And* each player has a choice of two Flags to exit! Oh man... Baak sees TS going for a Flag but suddenly NKI's Trow is on Baak's Chickens! Baaaaaaak! ;) TS gets *all 16* out safely, but Baak is now down to 13 (curse you NKI! lol! ;) ) Check out VR's KFC against NKI! Unfortunately VR's Chickens move *just* in front of VR's Warlock on his second shot! lol! ;) Good one! _____________________________________________________________________________ +021116 2253 BHIT.SLEEPYHO StB - Baak Wins SLEEPYHO / Sleepy Hollow (slug-O-rama) FFA 5: Baak, HedgeSnake, vinylrake, IKeelU, Thousand Stains TS starts with it and moves it to the side, running smack into HS - mutual destruction! ;) VR has an Olympic Dorf (check out those shots! Dang!), causing Baak to flee - only he runs into NKI and decides to double-back, which turns out to be *really, really good!* :) Baak manages to take back the hill from VR's Olympic Dorf and holds firm even amidst some self-inflicted friendly fire (must... keep... hill...). This spot proves to be the key! _____________________________________________________________________________ #+021116 2309 BHIT.BrokenArr StB - HS Wins BrokenArrow_v1 / Six Broken Arrows (6 team light) FFA 5: Baak, HedgeSnake, vinylrake, IKeelU, Thousand Stains VR sets up for a Cliff Defense - TS tries to wedge his way onto the cliff while Baak struggles with the too-deep-water and HS and NKI wait patiently... Check out HS's single Pus Ghol! Moves in, tags the Bacon, VR's *seven* Zerks turn and charge - PUS!! LOL! *All seven are stunned!* So defiant! :D VR's Zerks get pincushioned briefly by Baak's Archers, but it's a *HUGE* dogpile at the end! HS has perfect timing no this one, and Baak's JMan fails to Contest because he's *under water!* lol! FUNK! ;) Nicely timed, HS! :) _____________________________________________________________________________ 021116 2321 BITv Going_to_ KoH - Baak/NKI Win (vs VR/TS) Going_to_Town / Going to Town 2 Team: Baak, vinylrake, IKeelU, Thousand Stains Wow - Baak/NKI are invincible on this one! _____________________________________________________________________________ $ 021116 2330 BITv Going_to_ KoH - Baak/NKI Win (vs TS/VR) Going_to_Town / Going to Town 2 Team: Baak & IKeelU, vinylrake, Thousand Stains A rematch, and definitely closer - those TS/VR Archers are a menace! ;) _____________________________________________________________________________ 021116 2345 BITv Venice ^ StB - VR/NKI Win (vs TS/Baak) Venice Dwarf Rockets 2 2 Team: Baak, vinylrake, IKeelU, Thousand Stains Location, location, location! ;) And VR/NKI definitely have it! Plus they just seem more in control on this one! TS/Baak have a *heck* of a time getting that VR/NKI Warlock (nicely played guys!) and TS/Baak suffer a final Rocket Dorf friendly fire self-destruct to end it. _____________________________________________________________________________ 021117 0002 BITv Drowned E^ StB - VR/NKI Win (vs TS/Baak) Drowned Empire Dwarf Rockets 2 2 Team: Baak, vinylrake, IKeelU, Thousand Stains Same teams randomly chosen! Even the ordering! Wow! Rocket Dorfs are left on by mistake, and it makes this map *VERY* confusing! :P VR/NKI seem to have a better handle on those Rocket Dorfs tonight, although TS/Baak sneak in a good one who dies by trying to walk through fire! DOH!! The Ball is launched at the end and VR/NKI *just* make it there to tag it for the win! Nice! _____________________________________________________________________________ 021117 0014 BITv Smells_1 StB - Baak/TS Win (vs NKI/VR) Smells_1.1G / Smells Like Death In Here 2 Team: Baak, vinylrake, IKeelU, Thousand Stains Same teams randomly chosen YET AGAIN! lol! Baak/TS manage to get to the Ball first despite starting in a corner, and get an *excellent* attack in on NKI/VR's flank during the "mad rush". It's up to NKI/VR to come and get it now - and it looks like they might with a seemingly endless chain of Mauls! Dang - this was closer than it appears! Check out that Baak/TS Dorf shot at the end! Straight up! FUNK! :D _____________________________________________________________________________ +021117 0023 BITv Redsand_v KoH - TS/Baak Win (vs VR/NKI) Redsand_v1 / Red Sand, Black Blood (Dwarven) 2 Team: Baak, vinylrake, IKeelU, Thousand Stains TS/Baak are all over the Flag in this one - and check out the "chain lightning" from TS/Baak's Fetch Threesome!!
