and
target="_blank">dm7 respectively. from the news report on

it does look like a bit of a beating. the finals scores were 106-48 on dm14 and
101-60 on dm7. this puts bio in 6th place in

the savage q3 ctf league
finished this week with some interesting results all round. the overall winners of
division 1 was ss. closely followed, is both neo and potzw, who are tied on points.
they have to play it out to see who comes 2nd. for the irish teams competing,
bio came 2nd after rv
in division 3, hat also came 2nd in
division 4, with 7cs taking the division title. both hat and bio
get promoted to their higher divisions for the next season. i'll be looking forward
to next seasons games.

how frustrated do you get trying to play counter strike? your bullets don't go where your crosshair is, any bravery or "rushing in" (pfff) and you end up dead watching your teammates camp for the next 5 minutes until someone else dies. s@nch/3z has written an article which will give you some extra firepower in your disgruntled retalliation against the muppets who play cs.
'if you see a teammate in a tight corner or a little hideaway, block them from getting out. then repeatedly knife them while repeatedly flipping on your flashlight while saying "im in position."'
you can find the article here. you'll have to scroll down a bit, but the other articles are quite interesting as well, even to non-cs players who are rigidly loyal to the true faith.

the guys over on prewar have been running a 'maddest frag ever' competition, judged by reload. the winner was klintz for a cool mid air frag on aerowalk.
personally, i've seen better from ser (remember that frag against aerotus at rapture?), but its good all the same. you can download the demos here

hat, the only irish team to compete in the barrysworld ra3 cup will kick off their matches next saturday.
once the cup has been played off, the teams are then entered into the ra3 league based upon how they do. it's still not too late for other irish teams to enter into the league which might be worth doing if you have feckall else to do on a saturday.

does the name steve polge ring a bell for anyone? no? ok, how about "c:\quake>winquake +set game rpbot"? aw, c'mon.. reaper bots -- yes he's the guy who was responsible for the coding/ai of arguably the best q1 bots around (at the time). i have sweet memories of running around dm6 like a lunatic whilst these f*ckers, circled, strafed and charged with perfect aim; "x0n ate rp3bot1's boomstick" etc. well, he's the ai programmer at epic games now (unreal etc). there's an interview with him up at ozunreal if you fancy a glance in the mind of this legend.

bio was defeated in last nights clanbase eurocup game. the first map was cpm4, where bio lost 65-34. the second was dm14tmp, where bio bearly lost 69-52.
i can't help think that from screenshots, it really looked like bwl had a huge ping advantage and possible would have won on even pings. demos courtesy of clanbase. heres a chasecam pov of the dm14 game and another on cpm4.

one of my team members from hatstand, purity, has spent a huge amount of time on a game called dark rift. you should really check this preview movie out as i would say it will really rock.

| score and maps in our group versus england were...
england vs ireland group 2
3w3 eng 8 ire 0
ctf3 eng 3 ire 0
3w2 eng 7 ire 0
a fine trashing, and no doubt about it. the team chosen was sky, jedi, koopa, m1ke and skelt. unfortunatly, skelt (our main attacker) never showed up and m1rv had to play in his place. overlord was coaching and m1rv dropped from the game and never return, thankfully, overlord was the only person on the server and could step in when m1rv dropped.
there was no scorebot or gtv and i couldn't get a connect to the server to watch, so reports of details will have to wait for a player to post up here or a couple of demos.
our next game is against wales in two weeks and i will be organising practices against countries in our group in order to win it. wales drew with scotland, (who we narrowly lost to last week), last night, so we have a *real* chance of beating them in 2 weeks time.
also, sky is dropping from all online q3 in around a week or so while he utilises the last year of university to actually get one of those degree things. so last night was the last game we have sky's excellent skills sitting on the flag. wp and thanks to sky, and gl in your exams.
the team for the wales game will be announced early next week and practices emailed to the squad and posted here.

bio v i* - 100-60 | 87-54
hat v smr - 33-173 | 85-165

this saturday sees our own bio take on the might of bwl (bored with life) in their next clanbase eurocup game. bio to-date have been unlucky in their games v's the other teams in their groups and hopefully this weekend will see this change. since most people from the quake community will be at the cpl qualifiers in nethouse for the game, we will pause the competition to watch it on the big screen and cheer them on. best o' luck.

| well, after a very exciting evening (me watching from gtv), we came away disappointed having lost the three most incredibly close ctf games i've ever witnessed.
the first on q3wctf1 was a disputed(?) win to scotland 1 - 0. i've never seen a cap happen at the very last millisecond of the game before. the cap seems to happen (on my client anyway) a split second after the timelimit hit, scores on my client didn't update to 1 - 0 and the 'blue leads' sound kicked in after timelimit hit...so i can't really say, to me, it seemed like a bug.
demo's probably wouldn't help because they're clientside...mad interested to find out other people's opinions...
second map, q3ctf2, went to scotland @ 2 - 1.*
the third q3wctf2 went to scotland again @ 4 - 3*, with valiant efforts by m1rv, jedi and m1ke all in the last minute to equalize. sky and simo did and excellent job defending this map considering the pressure they were under from the scots.
all in all the team (sky, m1ke, m1rv, jedi and simo) played incredibly well as individuals with a couple of shining teamplay moments, however, lack of practise to tighten up teamplay is what lost it for us at the end of the evening. thanks to mindphuck who coached and shouted stuff that would shake mir from orbit over rw.
hopefully we can pull together enough practise to win some over the coming weeks.
if anyone has demos or screenshots please upload 'em here
england next week on q3wctf3, q3ctf3 and q3wctf2
stay tuned.
