Our WPDML game vs Kudos was postponed, as they had their Savage Cup 4 matches in 1 night. We had another draw against BW - this time against BoG, a team we would have easily beaten on both maps if our connections had been anywhere playable. Still, a draw will do :/. There are still some very tricky fixtures left. To me this looks like the most balanced division in the league, very competitive, and there are a lot of div2 clans that would get 0wned. We play z3 next week who looked very impressive in week1. Frag, POTZW, and nexus were tipped by Bigfoot to finish ahead of us, so I’ll have to assume that they will be difficult. XTC I know are a good clan, but have defaulted both their games so far. cH have also given defaults. That leaves EoA who got raped by nexus in week1, but had 2 very close games against KOTR resulting in a draw. So either EoA were short players or lagged in week1, or nexus are a really good clan who will win the division.

Gay Savage Cup this week on dm7, we all have pings of 150 to the server. Also we drew in the laaaagy WPDML because our connections let us down on dm7 (slpb map). Lovely Barrysworld (60 ping :D) has announced their divisions, and we are in div3b with POTZW, cH, ->-, MC, HaiL, z3, WR, XTC, and nexus. I’ve heard of POTZW and one or 2 others, but I have never played in a tdm against any of them (we got a default over HaiL in Savage). as long as theres no l33t ninja clan among them, I’m confident that we can win the division.

Things are starting to happen again SavageUK tdm league is starting, and we’re signed up. They will be running a cup soon enough to organise divisions. Also, around March, the WPDML will be starting. The good news about this is that its run by the ClanWars crew. That should make it a good leauge, and I like the idea of having 4 custom maps (cpm4 and mexx1 for definite, probably cpm9 and Ancient Archipelago as well). At the moment, we’re still in the Wireplay Cup, since Federation have disbanded, so we are taking their place in the Quarter Finals since we were knocked out by losing to fed. We’ll be playing WTF on 5th Feb on dm14tmp.

The season is officially over for us today, having played our last league game last night. We proved the Quakenation critics wrong by beating XPD in the Wireplay cup, putting us 3rd in our group behind Federation and Demonic Core. We have no league commitments now, so we should be inactive for the next few weeks, with Clan-Wars unlikely to start until February at the earliest. I would like us to go in the BWDML next season - I don’t know if they have their quota of clans signed up, but I don’t think the next season will be starting for awhile anyway. Happy Christmas etc, maybe I should get some of those snowflakes floating down the page like some websites have….?

IQ3CL is finally over, we played our game against se7en last night. Missing our key player, Spoonman, we lost by 20 frags on mexx1. That puts us 4th I think, I’m not sure though because the IQ3CL website hasn’t been updated in ages

Thats also the end of se7en, because they have now fully merged with HAT I think. Its a pity, because they had a really l33t tag. Things are winding down for Christmas now, 2 games left in the ghey Wireplay Cup, and then we’re finished - unless we beat DC (lol?) in which case we have a chance at coming 2nd in our group and qualifying for next round.

Quake.ie is back after being down awhile, so theres loads to update on, but I can’t remember half of it I’d say. Anyway - we entered the Wireplay Cup. With 5 seeded teams and 4 groups, we were lucky to get only one seeded team in our group D. We were blessed with an easy passage through to the next round, with XPD being the only challenge for second place (and we know anything near our best team should be able to beat them). Here was the other clans in our group: Federation, Dark, =/\= (Trek), XPd.

Quakenation predicted us to come third, but that was only because we lost to XPd in clanwars, and we were very unlucky in that game; no Spoon or Quozl, Lorc lagg0red, but it was me and bug getting disconnected at the same time that led to us losing.

Worse luck though, Trek (newbie clan I’d say) are gone from the league. Guess who replaced them? Demonic Core!! How unlucky is that? In our lovely group, the one gimme match where we could play all our hpb’s has changed into the hardest we’ll ever have I’d say. Ah well

We’ve kept busy enough waiting for the Se7en game, having a load of friendlies against Titan, eXcesS, PR and Acid. Speaking of Acid, get the demo here of the secret on ztn that Havok and Sico found, its really good.
