The Dark Side of HLM's Defeat

[old.[HLM]ThunderMare]

Yeah, it seems ^V^'s clan had a clean victory, and we're a mediocre clan, but thats not true. I don't usualy play here at BW's servers, but if they are always like this match, then they're not worth it. Lets see... timeouts... lag... what else? We (the WHOLE HLM clan) had constant timeouts, at least one every 30 seconds (I'm NOT exagerating). Yes as we are from Portugal, we should have a bit more lag than you guys in UK, but this is just too much. Of course, the other clan didn't help it... they kept throwing about 20 smoke grens just in one round!!! FairPlay??
Cummon guys, the admin was there, saw it and didn't say anything. This is just not fair.

I would be the admin.

You had some unfortunate connections but everyone on an english connect was doing fine so I think it must have been a connection issue between some big country thing. And no I have no real idea but it was only you lot having probs which i'm sorry about but there was little I or anyone else could do.

As for the smoke grenade thing they weren't doing it to lag you out, DARKLORD threw two smoke grenades because he was bored. Of course when you accused them of cheating and trying to lag them out they decided to all sit at their base and throw hundreds of them, you're own fault really. (for the record HLM won that round because ^V^ were fucking about too much but it made me chuckle)

 

[Mr Lee]

Like Cheese says, when you are playing from a different country, there are many more connection problems that you can have because you go through more routers etc, I'm sure you realised this kind of thing may happen occasionally when you are playing on servers in a different country, beacause there's more to go wrong. I haven't heard HLM complain at all about the quality of the connections before, and you have played several games already.

Also jumping to the conclusion that a clan are basically trying to cheat when they throw a couple of smoke grenades is a bit paranoid to say the least.

 

[Nozzer]

As the others have just said, it's really out of anyone's hands as to the connection you get to another country.

You did play well when you had a full team, yes, but unfortunately for you this wasn't all the time.

As for the smoke grenade incident, once we have a fairly comfortable margin we normally do things like that, it wasn't to induce more lag for you. And as far as I'm aware a smoke grenade you can't see, doesn't affect you.

yadda yadda... anyone remember the uproar when, deciding we no longer wanted to be in the AQSL.. we gathered a bundle of people to raid the server of our opening match and aliased as the opposing team ?

Or that time at i3, during the CS league... when we figured 'wtf' and decided to make little pyramids out of our nimble forms.... and cunningly armed ourselves with grenades... forming what we called Grenade pyramids (cunning eh ?)

Thats ^V^ for you... we're a light hearted clan... we don't take life too seriously nor do we play to win... like Noz said, if we have a lead we tend to pissfart about for a while until we realise the opposing team is whupping our arse...

Like it or lump it, and yes... im going to agree with Noz in the fact that I very much doubt smoke grenades you cant see lag you out... do smoke grenades when you can see them even lag you out ? im on a 56k and not on the worlds greatest cleanest phone line and yet they don't seem to impede me at all.

just me 0.02
