Wow. That was the best deathmatch I have *ever* had. Good turnout, about a
dozen or so players, good opportunity for a photoshoot too if only Dr.C and
CF would stop shooting everybody;) Got to go now and run my hands under cool
water to get the fingers working properly again.

Thanks for arranging the bash Civ, was fun. Good turnout, surprised that
I enjoyed it even though I only played two maps.

Got plenty of crowbar kills too, which is nice.

Cheers

Good to see you again Stri. I couldn't find the grenade I had saved
for you so I had to use everything else I could find instead.

yep, had a few good shotgun wars on Datacore, plus several MP5 dances
with the cyberbunny... good bash, except for the predominance of rats
maps. Undertow was a blast, though...

Yep a very good and funny Bash. It was so frantic that I managed to
get the console down several times when trying desperately to change weapon.

I saw at least one orange gordon. I could have been you.
What model did you use? Maybe all should name the prefered model
so all can get the missing models.

I was cyberbunny this time.....

It's a dangerous model to play that. Everyone just spots Xenomorph and
thinks 'They just keep coming man!' sh.t's themselves and empties
they're clip into you and then runs.

I think I'll use that in future too. It suggests Counter-strike and it's
a fair and clear model so nobody can complain about it.

I didn't see you plenty of times....

Actually, for a dial-up connection, I did ok, except for those
wonderful five second freezes. Best to spend those moments relaxing,
and wondering who will have left your bloody corpse on the floor when
you get to move again... normally it was Swiz, with a fair number of
Sloth kills as well.

Ah, no... not implying your model was low-vis, just that you got the
drop on me several times, what with the freezes, my unfamiliarity with
rats maps and, of course, your L33T skillz... :)

Well, it was always going to be a compromise - great for long
downloads, fine for always-on browsing, email, etc, shite for IRC
(apparently I'm K-lined all the time) and unusable for online gaming...

Oh?

I was astonished to find myself at the top after I was mid-table for the
first map. I was also astonished to find myself getting miffed for not
'winning'

I'm still a competitive little monkey :)

I have no idea, really (especially because it sometimes tells me I'm
G-lined)... apparently there's some software or port open on my ISP's
gateway that makes gamesnet think I've got loads of viruses, or
trojans, or somesuch. When I connect via dial-up there's no problem, so
obviously it's *not* me, but you try telling the gamesnet mafia that.

Your ISP are probably using some kind of unsecured proxy, which seems a
strange thing for an ISP to do - could land them in trouble if anyone
were to abuse it.

Maybe all that solar activity swept tiny space residing evil denizen
beings on the electromagnetic waves into the sa tellite your ISP's use,
down your into your PC and through into the gamesnet servers.

They've K-Lined you because you've inadvertently allowed their network
to be inhabited by the alien version of the trojan worm, called the
Trojan Knick-knick.

We had them here a few months back too actually.

It seemed to be connecting fine, except that nothing worked. Oh well

I saw you guys climbing up on each other, so I tau'd up to the
desk top and just hopped over onto someone's head. Then someone
else got up on top of my head, then someone set mines and
ka-blammo! That was it. I've never participated in human towers
before, it was different.

An organised tower (and demolition thereof) would be much better. For
instance if we all dropped grenades, mines, satchels at the same time
the effect would have been more explosive :)

I'd forgotten that. There I was kneeling on the floor with a few people
towered up on me, when some t**t runs up and puts a mine on my face.;)

Yep. T'was me, it was my cunning plan to make everyone stand still.
But some retard thought the best way to not die was to try running
away from the tripmine attached to his face.....

If you had just stoood still the photo would have been much cooler.

I think you failed to take into account the 'Oh fu**ing sh*t, I've got a
f**king tripmine on my face and I'm going to f**king die!!' variable
into consideration.
