2nd Annual Lan, Crow's write up

[StaR_JJ]

I think Crow's write up deserved to be on the front of the web page. So I made it it's own post.

Crow's write up:

well, good to see recognition of my role as clan historian and scribe Yeah the LAN is done and dusted for another year. We stayed in the same house at Coffs as the prev yr. Reason? cos its got a great top level room that looks over the ocean and can fit us all in with a U-shaped table design thx to Bish and Taf (as our local logistical support crew) A nice sea breeze helps too since most forget to wash after 48 horus of constant gaming.

So for the stories: the sadest is a close race betw Speeds and Termite Dean knew he woudl be last cos he stayed til the end at work (not the like the rest of us slackers). So with the sniff of battle in the air, he kinda forget about the speed limit. So $272 later, his night got off to a bad start and then as one would expect, he arrived mid-game, had to wait to get set-up, and then his PC just wouldnt play ball It wasnt until about midday the next day b4 we had Dean's PC on song and we could all play. As for SPeeds, he apparently lost the happy smile about the great deal he had got on airfares when he found he had booked the wrong month!!!!! Oooops. So some $500 later, we had our guest leader of VIE clan, Brigidier Speeder to kick all our butts. which he did, playing mostly as Aztecs and setting new pop limit up to 270 -300 using his big buttons.

Speeds went 100% wins until later on the Sat when we finally found a combo to beat him - JJ, Ob1, R2 and me (with Vader, Taff and Lord on SPeeds team).

Apparently he did lose another game, was it a 5 v 1??

Yeah u guessed it, Speeds is an awesome player and tho he kicks our butts, we all love him cos he a top fella.

So what else happened.....

Oh yeah, some local kids decided to practice their trampolining skills on the roof of JJ's car not knowing that JJ was on the balcony watching and that the house contained 11 blokes intent on death and destruction I think JJ's yell was heard in Brisbane - he is a big fella with a healthy diaphram. JJ chased em off down the hill and we were taking bets on whether he could get back UP the hill. (There is some suspicion about JJs level of fitness ).

We ran a kitty to buy food that worked well adn we set a new world record for consumption of absolute garbage. There were no nervous vegetables near this LAN.

Termite continued to prove that u couldnt meet a nicer guy

Bear scared me by talking about slaughtering my intended new family cow. Oh yeah, Bear upped his image by arriving on a kick butt motorbike, which he managed to damage at the local supermarket....

Ob1 and R2 versus Speeds and JJ were great game highlights, with a big race as to who could take down their opponents TC the fastest.

Vader driving everyone crazy by fine-tuning his dutch strategies. After 1,023 consecutive games of making halbidiers and cannons, he is finally mastering this art form.

Taffy's walking back and forth lecturing the guys on the direction of US interest rates while they were in game was rather odd

The State of Origin (NSW rep by me, Taf, Bish and Vader) versus QLD (Bear, ob1, JJ and R2) went to its predictable conclusion but not until we had scored the first try by taking out JJ. NSW enjoyed this brief lead

With 11 players, we did have some trouble with game setting partic if we had a 4v4 going, so there is definitely a spot for a 12th. We all had too much fun to think we wont back up again next LAN.

OMG, thinking about these things cant forget how Speeds uses his left hand so much in game play. ANyone else notice him killing every treasure guardian group with his explorer regardless of his health or the number of guards? Hmm, amazing mate!

THe guys did pretty well with the kitchen this year so the house mother (me) didnt have to clean up too much

Lord and Taff seemed to take a particular shine to one another... a shine with a bit of an greenish hue ... ah boys can be funny about what colour their army is We did see the odd spit the but nothing untoward. Bish gets the award for biggest growl but nothing scared us more than JJ's "f...... off" as he leapt from teh balcony in his Shrek-like chase of the startled teenagers. Actually, to help u picture JJ, just think of Shrek when he got turned to human form!

Oh, i gotta say what a fine young man R2 is becoming too It is a pleasure gaming with R2 and Ob1.

Well thats about it for highlights. First night games finished about 530Am and first games started about 10AM the next day so u get the picture of our days. No wonder some r now nursing colds and sore backs. Its not the healthiest sight but the house does have a great beach nearby. A few games, a few drinks, a quick dip to freshen up and back to games.... ahhhhhhh

So cheers to anyone who wants to add some more but Coffs 2007 is done and roll on 2008. If u missed it, dont miss it again!
