Well Done SPeeders on 2 in a row.

[Z-Man]

Congratulations to SP and sorry for the server restart. Guess two overlapping fullscreen messages are not a good idea. Anyway, recordings. This time, done with 0.2.8.3:

opening_pru_vs_tx.aarec
quarter_ct_vs_tx.aarec
semi_ct_vs_ne.aarec
final_ct_vs_sp.aarec

First off, congratulations Speeders. I enjoyed playing in some and watching every match, you guys did good.

Secondly.. I want to say that I did not appreciate ID spamming me, it happened in the CT USA server, I was playing for SP and suddenly ID Robo and Ari started spamming me in msg.

Example:

Check logs for more.

That is all, thanks.

[Z-Man]

Yeah, that. Server logs will be required for the full picture. Sadly, we admins couldn't spy on /msg spam this time.

Congrats speeders

One small note: it looked like I didn't get 'team leader' on the vcl server.

[PsYkO]

Phew...I need to take a shower! lol

Great great great! matches Plus and CT, you guys both proved my predictions right and you 2 are super tough.

Second team to win 2 in a row

Robo was also spamming iNs during our match with Plus, that is when it really got out of control (They probably couldn't fit into the finals).
This has ABSOLUTELY no room in ladles for this kind of amateur and childish behavior.

I want to say that I did not appreciate ID spamming me...

You reap what you sow? You should probably get in the habit of silencing everyone you don't absolutely need to hear from. I know it's tough because there isn't much time during a match and you're not the kind of player who dies a lot.

It's the first thing I do when I enter any server, not just during a Ladle. Works great. Love it. It makes everything peaceful.

Definitely a big congratulations to all the winning members of SP. Rest assured, we will be ready for you in the next ladle! This was definitely some of the most excitement I've had in a long time (kinda sad). Made me pretty nervous, too. Fofo and Flex/Vogue did a great job with their zone sweeping around Insanity's rock solid defense; that really took our attention off of attack and left us to focus on defending against the holes (so difficult!).

On a note unrelated to the results, I noticed the comments about spam and I just want to say that the best thing to probably do is silence all non-players (vogue was obviously dead at the time ID spammed her and should have been able to easily do so in her menu). In my experience silencing people rather than chatting about it is the absolute best way to handle all that ruckus and whatever situation SP was dealing with could have been avoided entirely. That being said, congrats on winning despite all the lame spamming.

Oh, and all those orgasms that ~*magic*~ was having... I'm impressed.

[Kijutsu]

I wasn't dead, these screenshots were made after dying and scrolling up - at the time of being spammed I was the only sweeper with 4 attackers on me.

[PsYkO]

It could be prevented by people playing yes, but it isn't something that the people playing should have to deal with.
thx for the kind words, appa. GO BLUE

[PsYkO]

Screenshots of the matches can be found here: http://speeders.clannations.com/board/i ... #entry2616

Looking at the logs, wich i can post if needed, vogue's screenshot was pretty much so all of it.
line numbers of the logs are the first number

10962:[4] -=}ID< ÂRî --> ~*vogue*~:
10964:[4] -=}ID< ÂRî --> ~*vogue*~:
10971:[4] -=}ID< ÂRî --> ~*vogue*~: .........................................................................................................................................................................
10980:[4] -=}ID< ÂRî --> ~*vogue*~: .........................................................................................................................................................................
11008:[4] -=}ID< ÂRî --> ~*vogue*~: .........................................................................................................................................................................
11018:[4] -=}ID< ÂRî --> ~*vogue*~: .....................................................................................................................................................................lol

as for r-=}ID< Robo --> -*insa*-
this is all the comes up 2 messages back to back.

11408:[22] -=}ID< Robo --> -*insa*-: i was waiting till u werent being attacked, stop making up shit about us
11437:[22] -=}ID< Robo --> -*insa*-: its ok for u to lie but i cant talk? pffff

ari's were purely spam, robo's maybe has some meaning

I'm with sinewav, Silence, silence, silence!

[-*inS*-]

idk about others, but when i defense i am in the zone, ie. i hate unessessary messages

it takes immense concentration and i can sometimes miss my own teams messages which tell me to attack or watch the hole or w/e. Thus i have to balance both.

during a lot of matches spec's didn't talk in spec...so I say shhhhh

when some noob decides to msg me while i'm alive, i'm like wtf, the only stuff i want to pay attention to is from my team, not only is he msging me, he is trying to argue with me.
TY for the quick silence admins.

That said, I would like to apologize to plus for insulting them a few times, you guys whipped me around pretty good and i got angry (especially after that torp heh). I'm typically not like that (for those who know me) but a combination of specs talking (i cant silence them all!!) and you guys owning got to me.

K-yo: we need a third 1v1 to break the tie

[noob_saibot]

Great matches SP, and congrats once again.
