The
gathering:
~~~~~~~~~
After
the first ever LOBclan
war practice (lasting all of 15 mins)
we took to Global
at 2100 to vanquish
the DCU scum.
A huge LOB
turnout (see pic)
waited on DCU
- cheers guys for all turning up, sorry some of you couldn't play. YourMum
did appear and the usual fucking
around trying to get a server
ensued - Enta
(down), Dircon
(full), Global
(laggy and full),
clara (mods),
and so on. Eventually we decided on some far out back water which i believe
that Ferrit
suggested - 194.119.129.207.
It was playing the E4
levels and all but myself and Apeman
had pings of
500, compared to the LPB
DCU (who
were all sitting in the same room at their workplace which kinda helped
their team coordination). However being LOB
and not ISKA
we did not quibble. DCU
had also only managed to bring 3 players
instead of the stipulated four,
so everyone but me, Apeman
and Coool
left, and the battle commenced.
The
E4 levels:
~~~~~~~~~
Owing
to our huge lack of knowledge of these levels, there was something of a
massacre (see pics).
LOBs
occasionally managed to secure the RL
but then did not know where the armour
was, etc, etc. However we did manage a few frags
to avoid utter humiliation. Eventually due to some cunning level skipping
(noexit was 0)
by me and YourMum
we eventually wheedled it round to the E1
levels.
The
E1 levels:
~~~~~~~~~
Here
we moved into action. On E1M1
we managed to nicely secure the RL
for a good deal of the game and got the win by 31-24,
LOBs
kept control of the quad
nicely as well and it looked as though we were finally gonna deliver some
payback. On E1M2
we went well again, using the quad
and RL well,
though SilverB
pushed us somewhat, we stuck to the task and kept control of the key locations,
DCU were wondering
round dazed and confused and we took the level 32-31.
DCU got their
act together as we went into E1M3
though and with some useful tactics such as camping at the top of the lift
out of the RL
pit, and some downright good play (such as
when SilverB heard me follow him down towards the RL, made me think he
had not realised then as I was about to nail him, he turned and blew me
away) DCU
took the level by 27-53.
Ouch. So as DCU
took all the E4
levels and one of the E1
levels I think the win has to goto them, though LOBs
came out of the encounter with great honour, especially Coool
who stuck out a ping of 500
- take note ISKA.
As this was the best possible team that DCU
could put out - the others such as Bigswinger are a complete bunch of tools
(Apeman
and I beat 3 of them 40-20 a while ago) -
and the fact that we could only play 3 destroyed our tactical plan, LOBs
can look on this as something of a moral victory especially as if we just
look at the E1
levels, we actually won by
2-1 levels.
The
Aftermath:
~~~~~~~~~
Well
it was an enjoyable match, and we've got another in the pipeline to be
fought vs DCU,
on a slightly better server
with levels known in advance. All I can say is watch out DCU,
and to quote from Gemell's
original Druss The Legend:
'I am Druss! And I defy
you!'
So
in summary - cheers people well played.
