Team Betha by Gunny:
Warm-up:
Spikeball on Sandtrap. TTL Wins!!!
To set the tone for the evening, we warmed up with a few rounds of everyone’s favorite game, SPIKEBALL. After our opposition got into the ring (they all spawned at the tower base ), the game began. Spike grenades flew, head and tails explodes, and pink spartans were roasted. We had a blast killing one another while feeling the hot sand between our toes.
The Sanctioned Battles:
Game 1: Lowball on Guardian. TTL wins 50 – 3.
In the pregame I proclaimed that we would get this game outta the way first due to the fact it is the bane of my existence. We all then began discussing how this gametype came to be. Since he wasn’t present, L Askan was blamed for all Lowball gametype, and was bashed verbally by TTL and 2o2p. I hope his ears were burning.
On to the match.
Out team communicate was on point during this game from start to finish. Our assist total for this match proves that point. Goody grabbed the ball and got his 50 seconds early in the match. From that point on, we held the blue room as much as possible with a great deal of success. Wolf killed them all with reckless abandon. There weren’t many sticky grenades that Force threw that didn’t find the back side of an opposing player. Fists were also flying. After the dust settled, 65 total beat downs and assassination took place during the match. A well played match by both teams that made our collective palms all sweaty.
After the match, we all continued the assault on Asscan.
Game 2: Mutliflag on Vahalla. TTL Wins 1-0.
Even though this was an objective game, Bjorni ignored this fact and went on a slaying rampage that I won’t soon forget. He locked down the laser spawn, allowing us to get an early capture after we got their flag to the center hill on foot, and riding the rest of the way on a hog. After our initial score, our opponents tightened up, locking down their base very well.
We managed to grab their flag a few more times, but we were unable to get very far with it each time. Screwchiller was our main defender and did an outstanding job protecting our base and making sound call outs. He also managed to fly a completely destroyed Banshee while asking me, “Am I still alive?”. Force and Goody provided vehicular support via the hog and had great success doing so. I, on the other hand, discovered I am the anit-Al Capown, and have no business piloting a Banshee.
Game 3: Team Slayer on Last Resort. TTL wins 100 – 76.
Our regular scheduled slayer game was to take place on Isolation. After some bathroom breaks, everyone returned to see the map Isolation was next. I don’t remember much after this point. I do recall Phreak telling me that the map I had chosen was a mistake and that Last Resort was the map they chose. I refused to change the map just to accommodate them. I would not be swayed. I was as solid as a 100 year old oak.
This is the point where everything gets a bit blurry on my end of things. I believe that a jedi mind trick was used on me. I do remember someone from the other team telling us that “These aren’t the droids you are looking for.” The very next thing I remember was spawning on the sea wall wondering just how the hell I had gotten there. In the end, their mind tricks backfired on them and TTL carried the day.
