| last friday ireland played france in cb nations ctf. unfortunately, we couldn't get myself, vin and 2fish onto broadband as we had expected, so had to change our team and tactics at the last minute, and had a new team of sno, anarchy, nex (on broadband), me (isdn) and dest (isdn). france lanned for the game and had nice pings of 30ish. nexus managed to play off the ul broadband for the game, but his ping changed from 20 to 60 just as the game was about to start, and it didn't go back. france won both maps, 1-0 on our map q3w2 and 3-0 on their map q3ctf2. theres a bit of a report here.
today we played slovenia in the q3 tdm clanbase nations cup. our team consisted of anarchy, beast, koopa and vincent. this time, koopa and vin were able to play from ul lan. we were a bit late for the first map (on dutch server) because of a problem getting around the firewall. ireland had a ping advantage, but still lost slovenia's home map pro-q3dm6. the game was very close until the last few minutes, with the lead changing hands regularly. the final score there was 131-147 to slovenia.
on ireland's map, dm7, we got a very bad start and slovenia took a 20ish frag lead in the first few minutes. ireland recovered though, and managed to regain control. near the end of the game, the ref kicked a slovenian player (drava) for spamming and being lame just about everytime he died (in the previous game also). he had been warned earlier by the ref that he would be kicked, and even his teammates didn't want him playing. the slovenian coach morgoth subbed in for the remainder of the game, but they couldn't stop ireland from extending the lead. final score was 168-143 to ireland.
this meant a deciding map was needed, but at that time a slovenian player, miso, had to go. slovenia had nobody to replace him with, since the other players they had available were in 666 and could not play since there is a maximum of 2 players from a clan allowed to play at once. slovenia would have forfeit the 3rd map, but zero said it was ok to play the 3rd game another time if clanbase allowed it. theres no date set for the decider yet.
update: dm7 demo from vin's pov is here.
