It should be noted I actually saw a Strike Commander today. He had a lot of games played.

Grats man!

This means I gotta get off my ass and play some LW. Damn your ambitiousness!

[sek929]

Between the Bridal shower I went to yesterday and Easter dinner tonight I consider this a missed opportunity for SWAT.

Dammit, hopefully I can get some games in tonight...

[::maroma::]

Bridal shower eh? Do tell.

[sek929]

Not for me, some cousin I rarely see yet am obligated to attend social functions for.

I got nice and sauced though, so it wasn't all bad.

Event Results
Commissioner's note: Due to bungie not uploading my last picture I'll be splitting the update into two updates of two. Which is nice as it give us a perfect (but depressing) half-way point update.

Race 4

1 Team Blue Barracudas 20 zones (7)
2 Team Purple People Eaters 17 Zones and Pole Position (4 + 1)
3 Team Chocolate Dragons 16 Zones (2)
4 Team Gold Members 9 Zones (1)

Commish's Notes:
Another race, another win for Team Blue. This was another f the most competitive -- Team Chocolate held the lead for the first half of the race, but the usual series of unfortunate events led to a Purple grab of the lead, followed by Blue running of 3 of the next 5 zones to steal another victory.

Race 5

1 Team Blue Barracudas 18 Zones (7)
2 Team Purple People eaters 12 Zones and Pole Position (4 + 1)
3 Team Gold Members 10 Zones (2)
4 Team Chocolate Dragons 6 Zones (1)

Commish's Notes:
While this Race had the unfortunate distinction of being the first to finish under the elapsing of time, the results couldn't have been less in question. Blue ran away with race, where at once point it made 3 trips to one of the outer zones, each time returning to the track only to miss out on the zone they were chasing and have the next one reappear where they last scored. Also, apsolid really shined on the floating zone, each time scoring it on his first attempt.

Moment that summed up the season: A race for the center zone culminated with three teams (Gold, Chocolate, Blue) in a hotly contested race with Purple not too far behind. Gold steals the zone, but blow themselves up with Chocolate, leaving Blue to go on to the next zone uncontested.


Championship Standings after five events

1 Team Blue Barracudas 37 pts (98 zones + 2 Poles)
2 Team Purple People Eaters 20 pts (74 zones + 2 Poles)
3 Team Chocolate Dragons 11 pts (59 zones + 1 Pole)
4 Team Gold Members 7 pts (54 zones)

Yeah, well, you got to 33 long before I did... I never understood why you stopped, because it didn't look like you were getting slaughtered -- unlike me, who got massacred when he hit 30. Social or Ranked... I believe I hit 27 twice.

As always I have my doubts about making the next rank, but I'm almost positive I can get to 37, definitely 36.

BTW, this is my least favorite rank insignia out of all the Officer ones. Yay...

I'm considering having a meet-up to celebrate the new map pack. It'd be a nice to chance to get Dex in on the action and get Andy back in. Opinions?

[sek929]

Tomorrow night would be excellent for me.
still depressed about playing SWAT only 8 times...

I'm not sure why I stopped either. I think I just got burnt out on LW. But I've taken enough of a break and I think I'm ready to get back into it. Playing BTB is nice since I don't care about rank, and get to practice driving vehicles (which we all know is fun). Dealing with the wait time for starting a game, and the high probability for lag, and the possibly bad game type kinda sucks for BTB though.

Sweet, I'm down for whenever. I may have to work a little late a couple days this week, but for the most part I'm ready to play all week.

Cool, just to remember to stop at 35 until I get higher. Thanks.

Then it's settled! Tomorrow we'll have a meet-up. Perhaps sek, maroma, and I will bang out the last test tourney bracket?

And of course, we'll take a team or two into BTB as the new maps will be in MM.

[Dakar the Fourth]

Screw it, I'm not getting back on tonight.

The post-rank-up cold streak returns.
