    First game of the bleedin' IQCL Division One. CT vs. GI. Old school 'onour at stake. Before the bloody kick off there were an unnervin' period wen there were no sign of Koopa, right, Reaper 'as been off work for the week and Kaile 'ad disappeared over ter the UK on short notice, leavin' meself and Bunny ter hold the fort. Regi 'ad fought that 'e wouldn't cop a game wiv GI since they 'ave so many members ter choose from and offered to switch and play for CT the bleedin' night before. This turned out ter be illegal (as ruled by Kharn) and GI were short a man too so Regi switched hammer and tack to play for GI. This left us hammer and tack wiv two men and wiv the opposition knowin' Bunny's distinctively freaky but effective tactics. 'mm. Oh well, right? Koopa turned up finally so it were ter be 3 vs. 4. Regi were in a cybercafé and 'ad been 'avin' a woeful pin' in the bloody FFAs before we arrived on the bloody server (drownin' at one point! Right!) but 'is pin' 'ad been settlin' durin' the bloomin' warmup and at rest were a right good solid 60 - 70. Tempers vaguely smouldered as I suggested that it might be for the Mae West if Regi didn't play for any fairy but toilet maintained that 'e were GI and would play for GI. Right. "We want ter win after all." This, to be fair ter GI, was fair-dinkum and generally the motch started amicably. Regi were ruled LPB wiv wee objection. The start were kinder ter CT than GI it seemed and soon we 'ad a solid grip on the level. Koopa were at RA wiv me and Bunny moppin' the water area. The extra man were 'ard ter live wiv it 'as ter be said as dm3 is a big level ter cover and sumfink 'ad ter give but we made 'ay (and gibs) wile the sun shone. Finks got a wee ropey after about 8 minutes but CT 'ad a solid 40 (-ish) frag lead. I blew meself up and we missed a vital pent (can't recall wich GI got it) and we were driven from the bleedin' water area. Ooops. GI ter give them credit 'ad kept the pressure up on us the 'oole time and it were a matter of time before we missed sumfink. Suddenly we found ourselves in a world of pain as Cloud began 'is quad runs. Regi were gahn ninja and chasin' Koopa and Bunny 'ard in the bloody frags stakes. Cor blimey guv, would I lie to you? Cloud were rakin' them up wiv quad and for about 6 minutes we were in the bloomin' wastelands of the crates area. I couldn't believe we were lettin' it slip frough us fingers. The ffought crossed me mind of campin' the crates and drorin' out the bloody resporn frags but wiv players like Koopa and Bunny yer gotta go for it. Besides it were a classic game! Oi! Fate 'as a sense of 'umour sometimes. Right. It's sick and it's cruel but it's funny all the same. Regi's pin' went bonkers, init? I could 'ear 'im chokin' near me in the RA and a quick check of the bloomin' pings revealed a 600 pin' wiv buckets of PL. Armed wiv a nail gun I attacked 'im finkin' wryly "Well, right, we want ter win after all! Struth!". Bastid killed me, only ter have me resporn nearby and finish 'im off wiv the shotgun. Step one of me toolin' up completed, now for that RA <IMG SRC="http://lacerta.ucg.ie/boards/smile.gif&quot; WIDTH=15 HEIGHT=15 BORDER=0 ALT=":)"> I stepped out into the bleedin' central area in me bright and shiny new red jacket and seen Quad-Cloud searchin' for frags wiv 'is LG. I fought "I'm dead" wen 'e just winked out of existence. Qizmo had dissed 'im! Honest guv! I nearly wet meself as Cloud 'ad told me in-depff 'ow 'e would avoid such a fate last week! Oi! A quick battle wiv Spud ('oo were me nemesis for the bloody 'oole game, goddammit) left me bruised and battered but wiv a dead GI at me feet, init? Bunny and Koopa weren't sittin' on their 'ands eever but GI 'ad drorn level in score terms. Cor blimey guv, would I lie to you? Cloud were hammer and tack in too and GI still 'ad the water area. I were in bad shape and snuck underwater ter get the chuffin' 100 'ealff wiv 4 minutes ter go. The 100 'ealff were there arright so I turned ter run up the bleedin' ramp and in the chuffin' corner of me eye I spotted sumfink red. And circular, right? And much better then a measily 100 'ealff. Bunny were attackin' the water at this stage and Koopan 'avin' taken hammer and tack RA were runnin' quad. There's just nowt like pent for turnin' dm3 'round. We 'ad the water area pretty soon after but GI still attacked and we were nowhere near as fully in control as we 'ad been at the start. Yer can't 'ave a knees-up wivout a joanna. I went ter take quad at one point comin' from the YA and met a GI comin' from the uvver side ter do the same fin'. There bein' no quad ter collect just yet we decided ter amuse ourselves wiv a shotgun duel. Wilst duckin' and divin' I noticed over his shoulder that quad 'ad resporned and, pretendin' ter shotgun-charge 'im, jinked past 'im ter snotch it! Struth! SKUUUUUUUUT! Struth! In the final minutes fings were mental as we fought off GI attacks, some of wich went a bit pear shaped for GI. Cloud water-zapped Spud (I fink) and toilet blew up 'imself and Regi ('oo were still not 'avin' a good time wiv lag). In the chuffin' final analysis GI fought an 'ard game and I were well impressed by their lesser known members (Spud were more than a pain in me ass the bloomin' 'oole game). Bunny rated it as the hardest game of dm3 'e's ever played and I woke up my flat mate by roarin' at the top of me considerable voice at the end of the bloomin' game. GI didnt make excuses but my 'eart went out ter ffem because for that middle period I knew wot it felt like ter have it in yor grasp and see it slip oray.
