Then Baak sticks it on his starting Satchel Drop and *really* Launches it (check it out! It SAILS!!) - only to have it go back to VR! LOL!! With this bizarre synchronicity, Baak just has to try and get it back... ;) _____________________________________________________________________________ +021214 2123 BLNT.Titus_Gro StB - TS Wins Titus_Groan / Titus Groan FFA 5: Baak, Lone Dorf, -in-l --ke, Two Saks, Nokilli TS defies gravity (almost) by blasting the Ball back *up* the hill! It's in a *tough* spot too! He does this while NKI, VR, LD and Baak are preoccupied trying to figure out how to attack each other! Meanwhile, TS runs with it! Nice Steal! ;) _____________________________________________________________________________ +021214 2152 BDLN.Going_to_ StB - Baak/Daro/TS Win Going_to_Town / Going to Town 3v3: Baak & Daro & Two Saks, Nokilli & Lone Dorf & -in-l --ke NOTE: This is Daro's *very first game*! Welcome! :) *** Best of 7 "Grab & Defend" Bacon: Baak/Daro/TS/HS: 1, NKI/LD/VR/Q: 0 *** B/D/T Grab it - and it gets stuck! Luckily a Dorf has come along this time! ;) Funny bit: Baak mentions something about hearing some Pus exploding about the same time N/L/V Pus his Archers! Guess he forgot they were his! lol! This game is *really* close! Nothing but constant back-to-back close exchanges between both sides - check out that one satchel blast! *Very* close at the end too! Dang! Great Game All! _____________________________________________________________________________ +021214 2208 BDLN.Going_to_ StB - Baak/Daro/TS Win Going_to_Town / Going to Town 3v3: Baak & Daro & Two Saks, Nokilli & Lone Dorf & -in-l --ke *** Best of 7 "Grab & Defend" Bacon: Baak/Daro/TS/HS: 2, NKI/LD/VR/Q: 0 *** B/D/T go for The Blitz and it works! But it's looking a bit iffy more than once! Those Zerks sure do get tough when they get a little experience! Nicely played! _____________________________________________________________________________ *021214 2235 BDHL.If I Had StB - Baak/Daro/TS/HS Win If I Had a Trow... 4v4: Baak & Daro & Two Saks & HedgeSnake, -in-l --ke & Lone Dorf & Nokilli & Ques- *** Best of 7 "Grab & Defend" Bacon: Baak/Daro/TS/HS: 3, NKI/LD/VR/Q: 0 *** Nothing like two *huge* armies facing off on the field of glory! :D Baak/Daro/TS/HS take it and wait - but not for very long! Suddenly there's a *huge* army plowing through their Soulless as well as a *pair of Trows* right behind them! (Where the heck did *they* come from anyway? lol!) Once again *lots* of good give-and-take mini-battles - *very* tense, as any one could really turn the tide! Those VR/LD/NKI/Q Warlocks are taking a *serious* toll, and it's surprising how tough a squad of Myrks can be against a Trow! But Baak/Daro/TS/HS still manage a *nice* comeback! *Well Played All!* _____________________________________________________________________________ $+021214 2257 BDHL.If I Had StB - Baak/Daro/TS/HS Win If I Had a Trow... 4v4: Baak & Daro & Two Saks & HedgeSnake, -in-l --ke & Lone Dorf & Nokilli & Ques- *** Best of 7 "Grab & Defend" Bacon: Baak/Daro/TS/HS: 4, NKI/LD/VR/Q: 0 *** B/D/T/H just seem to pick at V/L/N/Q bit by bit, slowly wearing them down - but once again that Warlock is really hammering them and seems to *just* get away every time! lol! Suddenly the Ball is on the move (once again HS spots this!), and the game ends in one long chase across the map! Good Game! And *once again* a *close one!* FUNK: Check out the cascade-effect of B/D/T/H's Myrkridia turning "wild" when the last group of them starts to run toward the Bacon! It was bizarre! FUNK: This game B/D/T/H end with 3 Trow (22%) - *exactly* the same as last game! _____________________________________________________________________________ +021214 2317 BDHL.Venice StB - VR/TS Win Venice 4 Team: Baak & Daro, Lone Dorf, Two Saks, HedgeSnake, -in-l --ke, Nokilli, Ques- TEAMS: VR/TS, Baak/Daro, LD/NKI, HS/Q VR/TS grab it and take it to a *nice* spot in the NNE corner of the map. Then of course *everyone else* shows up! :D LD/NKI are attacking, but HS/Q must go through them to get to the Ball - while Baak/Daro are going at it from the other side. VR/TS do an *excellent* job of defending on this one! *Especially* against so many attackers! Nicely done! _____________________________________________________________________________ #+021214 2333 BHLN.Hedgerow StB - TS Wins Hedgerow / Bustle In Your Hedge-row (wacky) FFA 7: Baak, Lone Dorf, Two Saks, HedgeSnake, -in-l --ke, Nokilli, Ques- Cowa Bunga! FFA *7* on Hedgerow Wacky! Oh man... This is just one big flare fight - that all comes down to the battle in the corner! NKI doesn't notice TS as Baak is attacking him, and Baak doesn't notice Queso while he is engaged with NKI and is getting hit by HS! TS manages to keep that Ball from flying too! Nice! _____________________________________________________________________________ 021214 2353 BHLN.Hedgerow StB - TS Wins Hedgerow / Bustle In Your Hedge-row (wacky) FFA 7: HedgeSnake, Baak, Two Saks, Ques-, Nokilli, vinylrake, Lone Dorf LD and Q are stack up the Damage on this one! Check out that Warlock shot by LD that saves Baak from TS's relentless killing fest! :D The Ball is launched straight to Baak, and a nice little battle ensues - then it gets launched again - *right over TS* - and lands with *no one* to Contest! Dang! TS is blessed by the Myth Gods tonight! ;) _____________________________________________________________________________ +021215 0009 BHLN.Dead ManF Ral - Draw - Q/VR Win, Baak/HS Win Dead Man's Float 4 Team: Baak & HedgeSnake, Two Saks, Ques-, Nokilli, vinylrake, Lone Dorf TEAMS: LD/TS, Baak/HS, Q/VR, NKI NOTE: H'Pak House Rules make this a Draw. Baak/HS and NKI defend a single Flag "to de det", and this swings it - NKI keeps Baak/HS from taking it outright, and Baak/HS keep Q/VR from doing the same! Good one guys!! _____________________________________________________________________________ +021215 0026 BLNQ.Gimble in StB - Baak/NKI/TS Win Gimble in the Wabe 3v3: Baak & Nokilli & Two Saks, Ques- & Lone Dorf & vinylrake B/N/T take the hill, but manage to push the Ball off the edge! Doh! The outcome on this one looks like it can go either way over and over and over again! One *tense* little game! *Very close!* _____________________________________________________________________________ +021215 0043 BLNQ.Dead of W StB - Q/LD/VR Win Dead of Winter 3v3: Baak & Nokilli & Two Saks, Ques- & Lone Dorf & vinylrake Oh man! B/N/T set up a *tough* defense, but Baak forgets to remind TS of his Warriors and they get left out of the battle! *Nice* distraction moves by Q/LD/VR! Very well played guys! Nice comeback! :D _____________________________________________________________________________ 021215 0103 BLNQ.Cracks in StB - Baak/NKI/TS Win Cracks in the Cloudspine 3v3: Baak & Two Saks & Nokilli, Lone Dorf & Ques- & vinylrake ... Really this is just too tough to play Bacon. Although there is a tense couple of minutes where B/T/N get the Ball *stuck*! (And it is *really* stuck!!) But once they get it up the ramp in the fort, there is really no chance to take it back - but L/Q/V do a *nice* job of trying! _____________________________________________________________________________ +021215 0116 BLNQ.The Untam LoH - LD/Q/VR WIn The Untamed Lands 3v3: Baak & Two Saks & Nokilli, Lone Dorf & Ques- & vinylrake L/Q/V basically *own* this one! Check out that first attack by L/Q/V! Although B/T/N put up a good fight, it's *brutal*! Baak forgets to trade the Dorfs and JMen as 5/2 instead of 6/1 and this didn't help in the Pit! But L/Q/V were overwhelming any way you look at it! Nicely played!! _____________________________________________________________________________ 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: Wow!
