I have never been a NOT in basing or had such a bad record, but 55-51 was my worst performance ever. So I'd say I deserve a not for being terrible, for my standards and what I'm expected to do (regardless of being out for 3 years).

On my defense, my soon to be 1year little girl woke up and my girlfriend was next to me 1 meter away, letting her crawl to my lap multiple times.

The irony was the game vs Plade, it was even worse and somehow I got a better record and we won, while she was basicly on my lap, pulling cables out (suceeded on disconecting the keyboard once), headphones, laughing at me, distracting me systematicaly. I was giving glances at my girlfriend (please stop), tension was in the air at 12-12 on my living room

I think my will of fire came out that game for a brief period, the same one my daughter is trying to show, by playing with you guys.

Im teaching her, to go into the middle of the opponent's field filled with enemies, just to get that one flick, that one fucking shot on the enemy commander. Papi style. She already owns both of us, cat and dog too, and already has Dice's password for her future endeavours in 2030.

More importantly, she will flex on you with a smile on her face.

-------------- Could of replied to another thread but i'll do it here ----------------

- Big up for Press, doing such detailed HoN's.

- Big up for Pork and Major recordings.

- Big up for Fire's general attitude. There's this rose lavender scent comming from you, super soft but confy!

- Big up for Pandora's general play these first three weeks.

- Big up for Zid hosting and Claus help.

- Big up for Qan with that amazing novel with Priitk, making sure all of this happens.

- Big up for so many different people trying to base (I saw your comment Olde, on another thread and that is a general problem indeed. Nice to know you had fun!).

- I'd say Gun could be the favourite at the moment, but it's a true bloodbath out here.

- Reminds me of season 7/8 9/10, the ones IMO you had most candidates to win (I believe 5/6).

- Almost brought back my lenghty yet colorful Hall of Shame, but people stepped up.

- Always been an over spid, but winning 6 times (1978-1984) as an under (1 TWDT as over in 1993) gave me this label. I congratulate, who's doing it on all teams. On par with top bar, in terms of importance, but by far is the one you have to compromise the most for your squad, and the most boring position of them all, most of the time.

- The next type of league you guys play, basing is incredibly competitive team wise but stale. Too many people worrying about winning without having fun and too many spider lineups in bds.

- Whilst is not the same anymore, it's nice to be part of this and playing with you guys. Hope you're all safe, especially our American, Brazilian and UK troops!

In the end, it was and still is the community's loyal strenght, the IRC like chat, nostalgia and emotional attachment that makes this the best video game we could get.

yeah you guys are right. easily made blunder capitalized on by a smart play

[Pressure]

thanks pressure

No problem Diakka. I struggled not giving you HOT player of the game vs. Fire, but sarger/hellkite made bigger plays and since I'm watching the games I can't give HOT to people based on stats alone. You played really great that one, though.

thanks pressure

cud perhaps b most detailed analysis of any game/sport i efir c in 83340 decade

I wouldn't say 26:25-26:32 was a fatal error on Og's end in the Pandora vs Fire game. He was flying upward and would have flown past Joe, but zidane ended up repping joe right into Og's path. Just really quick thinking and a smart play from Joe due to an unfortunate and probably unforeseeable mistake and/or some bad luck on zid's end.

Running away from zidane with 3 reps and dying to a mine with at least 3 minutes left of game-time was the fatal error.

[zidane]

no ... if you pause directly at 26:26 you'll see joe is shifting directly at og, my rep was to push him up and away from og because it looked like he was about to try to mine directly on him. just went wrong because og continues on his path upwards to joe's new location after the rep. it's an error on the terr since there's no universe where the shark can't rep there

as soon as i detach under there, og needs to bail on his plan to rush top cause it's never going to work. I most likely detached under because it looks like it was going to collapse. I wouldn't say it's a blunder just not on the same page and the whole play happened in like 1.5 seconds or so

Some people are having issues seeing my updates. Is anyone else having issues? EDIT: Apparently they're fixed.

I am having this issue, I do not see the text/writeups except for the 1st 2 games. I tried chrome/incognito/phone/IE and none worked.

Soon as I logged into forums the texts all appeared.

Super high quality reviews, ty, paragraphs ftw.

I find this clip from Pandora vs Fire really interesting. https://www.twitch.tv/heafin/clip/Sh...seCoolStoryBro
Every one of Fire's spiders tries to take out sarger, but for one reason or another none of it sticks.
Pretty much sums up how the game felt for me.

yeah usually helps to hit him more than one time

Great writeup, paragraph breaks did make a huge difference in readability. Thanks for doing that. I didn't watch the videos (thanks to your warning) but I thought it was cool that you put your money where your mouth was after the firestorm of NOT last week, and gave it to yourself. Have no clue if you earned that or not, but integrity move there, well done
