As posted elsewhere:.........
Like Mikey, I've totally lost my voice and my body aches like buggery.
Quite a day.
Firstly, could like to thank the teams in my faction: Fury (obviously), 360, Axis, Ronin, PUPS, Kent Volunteers, Hawks and others. I know I did a lot of yelling throughout the day chaps and was constantly asking you to turn straight around at respawn without much of a break - but ultimately that was my job for the day......I'm not normally quite so....er.....vocal!!
Was great to see all the usual suspects at the game and enjoyed working with Mike, Tone and Mikey - whilst we were ultimately unsuccessful, we did put up a pretty good scrap.
The push at 15:15 on the Staargate was memorable. There's nothing like it when you get a 200 player push going......anyone involved in that part of the play will remember it for a long time and I can't wait to see how it comes out on the video.
SGC faction had a pretty tough time of it fighting most of the day in the same area of the field around the Alpha base. Traditionally, this Alpha base changes hands all day long and whilst it may have appeared thankless at times...it was important that we didn't let them have free reign over that part of the field. But it was exhausting constantly chucking ourselves into that fight for most of the day.
Should congratulate the Ori for best faction and the Baddies for winning overall - good show.
oh yeah...couple of my highlights:
- Seeing SPC Ryan fall over a tree stump in the safe area and getting stuck on his back like a crab and having to be helped up. Most amusing - thought you'd done the other hip for a moment!
- Seeing Keems make a one man pistol charge left of the Alpha base against a dozen bling flingers...... the stuff of legend!
- Obviously the push on the Staargate.
- Early on, getting inside a tent in the Alpha Base and finding the best firing postion in the world through a small hole in the tent fabric - most have shot out at least a dozen before someone shot me through the hole on my hopper - million dollar shot!
- Seeing Woody trip over whilst running towards the Alpha Base - proper comedy fall!
Right, I'm off to wrap myself in cotton wool and nurse my aching bones.
See you all on the field soon.
Cheers and thank you.
Timboy.
