great fun last night at the team.ie training. loads of players
turned up including skelter, koopa, jedi, gerry, triock,
m1ke, illkillya, el_pres and mindphuck. unfortunately myself and ik had
to play on oceanfree which sometimes can be terrible and adhering to murphys
law, yes, it was terrible. i was double the ping of everyone else. fuck it
anyway.

theres nothing like a bit of good competition and the games were very
competitive tho. m1ke and jedi showed that they are a good partnership together,
dominating the ra on dm7. i couldn't compete in close fights, which made things
hard for our team of koopa, gerry, skelt. teamplay fell to bits unfortunately as
we started to lose heavily. being forced back into rl and quad areas. when we
did take ra a few times, we were fragmented and everyone wasnt at ra to hold it.
dm7 is such a tight level. with every move so important, every single frag can
cause a power shift.

the second game was dm14tmp. we started well, taking the first quad , holding
off the other team and then moving in towards ra and taking it easily with the
enemy team still hurt from trying to secure quad. then my pc crashed and then
wouldnt start! jesus! i laughed. i nearly cried hehe. chaos stepped in in my
place and the team seemed to do well. another close game with jedi, mike,
ilkillya and mindphuck winning that one again. cant really comment on the game
further as i didnt see it till 2 mins from the end. looking forward to the demos
which should be available on www.quake.ie
later today.

lessons:

every good and bad experience is a lesson to learn right? well today i
learned that shit happens and you just have to dig in and make do. hopefully we
will continue the team.ie training sessions every week and get a good level of
teamplay going with all the irish q3 players. i thought it was interesting
seeing ik and mike playing on the same team hehe. look forward to seeing how
they tped. will prolly have more after i watch the demos of the games..
