Just in case you didn’t know about this (I didn’t) you cant shoot through these pillars on t4. This is not a hit:

Yes, at last we have a broadbander! quozl teh cuntor has got his 1mbit/1mbit Wireless set up, lower dos ping than ISDN and doesn’t flood like mad in fights. There are only a few spare bedrooms left in his house so if you’re moving in you better be quick (I get his sister’s bedroom)

3rd time in 4 weeks, we’re the pick of the week in BWCTFL.

“Pick of Week 4 Fixtures - FH v >> - The two bottom sides meet in what is a big game for them before the Christmas break, >> (who added Morphy to their list this week) could have taken a map off FH last season but their inexperience caught them out in the end, they look to have improved a little since then though whilst FH haven’t been overly impressive in their 2 matches so far, should be a good game with 3 or 4 points for either side a nice early crimbo pressie. “

After a year of no updates, we finally got an ASP website done, thanks to Mindphuck’s code. At least now we have no excuses not to update (except for Vin since he doesn’t really know how to write). If you have any ideas for colour schemes or new logo or whatever, just .

We have been struggling to get a team out for the past 2 weeks with a lot of people on holidays, but things should be settling down now. Unfortunately, Casc is gone on holidays and when he comes back, he might be losing his ISDN permanently. This would be a big pity since he has always been so reliable. I just hope the new patch makes the netcode playable enough so that he can at least take part in trainings if he ends up on modem.

Yesterday we played the group leaders illusion. At first they had similar problems to CAF in week 1… two of them on pings of 400. So we changed to a different server and it sorted their connections nicely and put them all on pings of 60. They won comfortably on cpm13, but dm6 was a different story. They had a good lead of 18 or 20 frags, and the game was taking a similar pattern to the first match. Then Bug got an important phone call from work, and the game was paused for a few minutes. I don’t know what happened next, but CAF must have decided to drop a player rather than wait for Bug, and let the game finish 3v3. There were 8 minutes or so remaining I think, and things started to go our way. We made a nice comeback as Lorc and sk began to own. With one minute to go there were 3 frags seperating the teams, and I was sure we would win it. But alas, they managed to keep their 3 points and after beating CAF last week, I expect them to win this division outright.

We got a new member this week - sk (abbreviated from Stormkeep) joined us for CTF when -Sw- folded, and since he’s not in any BW TDM clan, hes playing for us in the BWDML as well. He got to show off his skills against n2s in week2 of the BWDML, in two close games. sk, Jc, Spoonman and dest played for us. Jc was on a very dodgy BT connection, getting a lot of lag and disconnected a couple of times in each game. We ended up losing DM14 by 30 frags, but CPM4 was much closer (very tense for me refreshing gamespy…) We never lost the lead on CPM4, always 3 or 4 frags ahead, and ended up winning 81-79.

Heres the screenshots: DM14TMP and CPM4. Jc will be going on holidays next week, so we’ll be missing our star player for some tough games, but now Vin has ISDN so hopefully that will compensate for it to some extent at least

We had our first BWCTFL game tonight against XPD (postponed the game against Ronins). There was a bit of a mixup with times, with our TDM at 10pm, and our CTF at 9, and we were late getting to the server, and had a makeshift team, with quozl playing q3 for the first time in about 8 months, Spoonman playing his second game in 4 months or so, and Lorcan just getting back into the swing of things after 5 years on a modem :). Thanks a lot to XPD for being so patient and never complained about us being late. We still managed to put up a credible performance, well played to everyone, and if we had more time to develop our teamplay we could have won. It finished 0-3 on q3ctf2 and 3-5 on q3wctf2… although I’m not sure about the ctf2 result as XPD capped right after the timelimit hit, and this score did not show up on the scorebot on IRC, nor did it show on gamespy, but it is on the screenshot, so I’m not sure what happens there. I still can’t find my password to update the f2s site, so I can’t update members and results page yet, but you can look at screenshots here: ctf2 and wctf2.

Lorcan got ISDN last Tuesday, a nice 40 ping to Vishnu. Vincent should have it next week so he can see how well he can adapt his QW teamplay to Q3. BWDML was unusual this week, the worst week we have ever experienced in the league. We played the Croatian clan CaF who had good pings but jerked all over the place and were impossible to it (I wasn’t on the server, this is what I was told). They’re a really good team, and we got heavily beaten on dm6.

For the second map, CaF’s pings went bad… like 250 - 800. After switching servers and waiting over 20mins for their pings to settle, we had to leave the server (had better things to do). The admin was terrible, I can understand that he wanted to give CaF a chance but he went about it the wrong way entirely, being rude to FH, acting like it was our fault when he was just wasting everyones time since it was clear that their pings were not improving. The dm7 game will be played later in the season.

Despite all the CounterStrike we have been playing, we managed to get a good few games in this week. We also have a new member, in Jc, who was in DK for awhile also.

Its been awhile since the last update, and there has been plenty of lag to moan about. Our Barrysworld division is even harder than I had thought it was. I envy Acid and Hat-B with their much easier div. Heres the new tag we’re trialling:
