Yesterday Barbarian played for Rebels, on the same day he was added to the FTN roster. I'm asking because I thought rostered players were locked to their team and only new unrostered players could be added.


Then again new teams are coming in...

Let's hear it.

1    FTNguyen    7-1    71    0.455

Requiem beat FTNguyen 8-6 in a game that looked like a usual boring backlob fun time by Requiem, while our asians tried to do something. Mostly they took advantage of various slow lobs by dodging them in uselessly stylish ways. Seriously, they were zigzagging between bombs at full energy for no apparent reason Apparently somewhere after 27:32 but before 34 something some of our players are a few bombs to keep them from hitting a low life player, which made BizzahBobby need a new pair of trousers. Requiem had a 2-0 lead, then the game was 3-3 for a while. Then magically between 34:52 and 37:42 Requiem had a 3 kill lead, while doing nothing but waiting for someone to run into their bombs and for Sika to lag some kills. Which he did later. The 5-3 and 6-3 kills were just a few bullets and a bomb and a few bullets and a thor for KN and krellin (it was his first day). Here's the finishing chapter

KinGNewbiE kb Sika

KinGNewbiE is OUT! - [44:37]

Score: 8-5 Requiem -- [4v3]

Sika kb The Village Bike -- Assist by: krellin

Sika has 1 life remaining - [44:37]

Score: 8-6 Requiem -- [4v4]

       Brave> ROFL

     krellin> kn no

         Jae> WOW SIKA

   BARBARIAN> dat zeroskill lag

       Brave> That should be bannable

     krellin> no

         Dre> kn hoping his team would do something sooner but could not

      Captor> sika huge mvp

         Jae> lol

 Street Figh> what lag?

  Caerbannog> Reqiuem isn't a joke at all.

    Jamuraan> lagshield on

         7th> !items


Yeah. Well played. Lul. Regardless of rather sloppy play, we only had 2 WR total which is good.

Rebels vs. Alpha Reunion I heard no tasty rumors about, so I'll just take what the log has in it for a facT:

   BARBARIAN> no clue wtf happened

    mindrape> his butt plug popped out momentarily causing him to accidentally mash his keyboard


Seems legit to me. In the end VT is 5-1 again with 6 FR while the other rebels try to keep up.

StarFire Elite seems to have been shut down pretty efficiently by Assassins, the game ending 12-0 in 17:09. 16 FR for Sins.. still 9 WR on SFE.

Sterling vs. Llamas was a rather odd game. Odin flew a leviathan, which quite didn't work out. A few freebies were apparently given out (secret Nguyen tactic), but it didn't work out either. A ton of people in the spec were talking about everything but the game, besides trying to guess the first person to die.

Nuke also had to face the wrath of a leviathan vs. Gods. 10 WR on the side of Gods probably did not help them out too much. Apart from that, I didn't see the game and all I was told about it was that the blue bombs were exploding and pissing off Nuke, while Saiyan got Gods "pretty good".


And Unhallowed picked up +12 from Shocktech.

--------------------------------------------------------

<PSA>

Apart from the games, other interesting things this week... the oh-my-gosh so dramatic bans.

Seriously. It isn't that hard to not be a total douchebag in pracs. Practices _still_ make up the majority of all SubSpace games, so enforcing rules just for the games that are the most controlled is stupid. Hence bans for pracs.

I refuse to believe I'm the only one who remembers the fun times of people randomly starting to SC to end pracs faster or get back the toys they previously lost on lag outs, causing other people to SC, etc.

Like, totally. It's not very hard to just let the bot handle most of these things. Yes. Get yourself a fresh ship if you "tablag" at the beginning of a prac and it burns you. Don't try to pull this mid-prac.

Most of the douchebaggery just leads to people not wanting to play, since nothing will make sense anyways. Pracs have been in a rather good place recently, don't kill the buzz.


While it might be super cool to totally rebel against... me? It kind of is a huge finger to whoever you're practicing with. I, on the other hand, don't give a rat's ass.

Since he figured out he'd just go ahead and sub himself.

It's a bit late since that game was played a while ago. But still.

And Requiem please, if you're going to report cheaters to me, stop using "fullsub" in pracs. Thanks.

All,

 

The SC2 expansion came out three weeks ago and I'm looking to get back into playing a bit. Specifically, arranged team 2v2. I was Diamond years ago with minimal play on the ladder and had a shitty comp.

 

Let me know here or in game. Preferably someone living in the Pacific Time zone.

 

Three 

After a couple of successful hockey and football fantasy leagues, a few of us are looking to give fantasy baseball a whirl.  Ra, kentasaurus, and myself are all new when it comes to fantasy baseball, and it's simply something we'd like to try.  None of us are baseball fanatics, and I haven't been in a fantasy baseball league in about 25 years.  Needless to say, this league isn't going to be highly competitive or demand an extensive amount of insider baseball information to be enjoyable.

 

All I ask is that managers are active.  I understand that the season is quite long so times will undoubtedly come up when you cannot be active (summer vacations, work schedules, holidays, etc).  However, I don't want people that will show up to the draft then go afk for the season if they don't like their team.

 

The league is set up for 10 teams, but that is subject to change based on the level of interest.  Three of those spots are accounted for, so seven managers are needed - I hope that a couple more from the hockey league will join so that reduces the amount of slots to be filled.  The draft is scheduled for April 20th at 5:30pm Eastern time.  Again, all settings can be changed - including statistical catagories, roster size, draft date/time, etc.

 

If you are interested, please reply letting me know.  If you have any questions, here is the place to ask.  I'll give more information regarding the league tonight when I get home tonight.

 

For those of you that need no details and are simply interested in joining, shoot me a PM with your email address and I'll give you the link to sign up.

Rumor has it Starscream is claming this to be his best suicide ever 

Results from 2 weeks ago:

3/24 3:49 pm    Requiem     def     Gods    12-4    log

3/24 3:43 pm    Rebels     def     StarFire Elite    12-6    log

3/24 2:14 pm    Nuke     def     Shocktech    12-0    log


Gods were up 2-1 vs. Requiem.. and then something went horribly wrong. Ozn got most of the stats, finishing 5-1 4FR.


Like Gods, SFE was up 2-1. Then 3-2. Then 5-3 vs. Rebels. Then they redefine things going wrong and end up only getting one more kill past this point. Meanwhile Eric Clapton has 3 kills by this point and a whopping 8 at the end. And 9 FR.


Since I've manipulated the schedule to the liking of my vietnamese overlords, Nguyens kept on the stat-padding roll and got +10 K/D out of Assassins. Cause you know, I don't have anything to do besides prepare everything in advance to skew the scales in our favor. The next time we play, Mop and Develop can't even show up. I already know this. Furtermore this would never happen, had we not had an Easter break. True story.

On a more serious note, Assassins had some of their b-line in, while we don't actually have a b-line. We seem to have 7 people.


Llamas vs. Unhallowed was a thrilling game. Not very fast, but well played. The log is worth a read for a few chuckles. Like the same people who one week cry about damage done / taken trying to argue Nadai not getting anything done. It's all logical.


Sterling finally unleashed their top line-up with SuperDan and ishy4life in vs. Alpha Reunion.


And Shocktech no-showed, and are out of the league if they miss next week, or 2 more games during the season. Apparently we might get !norating to replace them.
