bigfoot has posted his review of the recently completed season 7 of the href="http://leagues.barrysworld.net/bwq3dml">barrysworld quake 3 deathmatch league .
  as usual, its excellently written and always a good read.  here's some
snippets.



of all the clans in the play-off hunt i think bio.b might be the most disappointed,
they had chances to take 3rd but only got 2 points from their last 3 matches to miss out.
maybe this was due to them missing jedi who left the squad for real life stuff
mid-season..



hat deserve a lot of credit for finishing mid-table despite losing a number of players
this season to other clans and to inactivity (or the evilness of cpm / cs). they battled
on bravely despite these problems and pushed a number of very good sides very close, an
amazing achievement considering the quality of those players who they lost..



bio.r followed their teams example in most other competitions by probably recruiting
their way to victory, although they didn't take on as many players as bio.b or bio.ctf
they did add some names here and they probably helped to secure the promotion..



fh meanwhile are a clan who need something to kick start their bw campaign, after a
so-so season 6, dropping out of the ctf league and now a mid-table performance here they
seem to have lost some the interest a little bit. they still have a talented squad, and
with eircom peering in they might get a bit better connection..





anyways, go get something nice to drink, sit back and have a read.

ya, slightly bollix report again, seeing as FH are the only team in all of bwdml (i'd say) who fielded 4 players on dodgy 64k ISDN in every single game this season. We had by far the worst connections in our division, infinitely worse than 100ping CRAPS, or DND or even the spanish UCQ who tho stuck on erratic 100-ish pings at least had the luxury of broadband. If we had had a single cable fag9t on our team, we would have had no trouble getting a point off CRAPS, 3 points of DND, fcuk and UDFC, and probably a point off PR also.

Bigfoot doesnt' realise how much worse it is to field a full irish isdn team than a partial ISDN team. Having said that, we did lose interest after christmas, when Team.ie CTF made us realise how pointless it was trying to play TDM under those conditions.

We're going to stay in BWDML and play again next season, because we have a couple of tdm-only player who dont like ctf, and are willing to suffer the lag. Our improved pings should help a bit, although not as much as Bigfoot predicts they will. We can get under 40 ping to BW in dos now, but it will still go to 140 everytime we flood the primary area if we have an all-isdn team. Fortunately we have a 20ping cabler for next season which should really make a huge difference in the games hes available for.

I'm just praying we'll be allowed in to BWCTFL next season, theres a lot of reliable clans on the waiting list, and I'm hoping theres room because thats what most of us love playing.. and are good at, since we're not so badly affected by the lag (except for attacking on w2).

take the jump, Play CTF! You know you want too.

Its the best fun yet. More importantly, with our irish connects, it doesnt seem as bad when playing CTF then when it does playing TDM.

You'll have an extra 6 or 7 TDM players if nD dont get into the BWDML. On the other hand, if we do, you're FUCKIN DEAD!!!
