As I said in the last Blab, the Gnugs were accused of cheating on the msg board recently. The accuser shoved up in the channel with us, willing to discuss the matter. And discuss we did. For quite a while actually. And basically, we didn't reach any conclusion. Ptarth tried to present his arguments as well as he could, (I didn't really get it, hehe) but after basically every line, he ahd 4 responses to deal with. And it got quite hectic, and Gnug725 gave up and left. We did mellow down later, and I'm of the impression that our differences are resolved to some degree. We were trying to determine whether or not the "Endless bombing" Trick, that many Gnugs use, (and it's included in our tips section) is infact a Bug, or a trick, or feature that the bombers have. Ptarth was trying to prove that it technically was a bug. I for one wasn't convinced at all. And I stick with the fact that it's a matter of 2 things: Judgement, and whether Cavedog decides to do/say anything about it. And if they claim it's a bug, that still doesn't make me a bug exploiter in my own eyes. Gnug315 should have posted the entire chat log (It's BIG) by now, and you can go read it if you want. :)
And now for Gnug215 back in the main studio with Ladder News (tm). Well, just at this moment, I'm awaiting the game between Samiam and h0tr0d to finish. h0tr0d is back in good time to save himself from idling out, and Samiam finally has a shot at making higher rank, after having nagged Telamus for ages, and waited for h0tr0d to get back on. They had a little sqwabble before the game, being the nice guys they are. (sheesh) CyberDrgn is watching that game, so all should go fair and square, or so we hope. Will get back to that when they return from the game, and that could be any moment now. I believe they're playing GoW. In other news, I managed to get back up to #5 last night, beating CyberDrgn in a good game of c2c, and bumping Preen to the 6th spot. Not much else happening in there right now, so I will blab about something else until they get back. Ah, they got back, from playing c2c. h0tr0d cmdr rushed apparently. I will comment on things AS they happen LIVE. Here's a short bit between our reporter in the field and CyberDrgn:
[PooPoe] WHAT happened there ??
[CyberDrgn] he had skeets
[CyberDrgn] then he had a crusader
[PooPoe] h0tty, right ?
[CyberDrgn] and had com guarding it to keep it going
[CyberDrgn] yeah
[CyberDrgn] then samiam dgunned the stuff
[CyberDrgn] and hotrod walked out and dgunned him for a draw
[CyberDrgn] i don't know why
[CyberDrgn] he had (hotrod) naval and kbot
[CyberDrgn] samiam had air and kbot
[CyberDrgn] it was fairly even
[CyberDrgn] accept hotrod was down a crusader
[CyberDrgn] i have no idea why he dgunned
[PooPoe] h0tty, for the draw u mean ?
[CyberDrgn] yeah
[PooPoe] ok, thanx for talking to us...
[CyberDrgn] unless being down a crusader meant he was gonna lose
[PooPoe] are we allowed to post this on the upcoming blab ?
[CyberDrgn] sure
[CyberDrgn] ?
[PooPoe] ok, thx
[PooPoe] :)
[CyberDrgn] headline: hotrod dgun's senselessly, claims boredom
[CyberDrgn] lol
[PooPoe] lol
[PooPoe] ok, it's a rap, cut
Our editor missed a bit there, hope you can forgive him. :)
Ah, breaking news again, they're replaying, but on a different map now, since h0tr0d thinks c2c is a boring map. Will bring more news on that in the end of this transmission, or when they get back from the game.
(Now would be a good time to get a cup of coffee or something, to simulate the pause - ed.)
Ah, they're back, and CyberDrgn was watching this game too, in which it seems h0tr0d won. On the map Sail Away which Samiam claims is not a well-known map for him.
In some sad news, a certain someone close to me has died. It's the story about a good friend of mine, who has himself a lovely fish tank, once bought himself some fish, and he named the first one after the name I go by when using my undercover alias. He also got a fish which he named after Gnug315's alias name, and one fish called just "Gnug", and a few others. The really sad news came in last night that the fish died (In some way, I died a little). I had grown attached to the little bugger. (Btw, it was a brightly coloured clown-fish)
Ah well, life must go on, adn so will the Blabs. Would be nice if we all could just stop a moment, and think about that innocent little fish, just doing his thing in a crazy world like this.
Another day, another death, no remorse, no repent, but there will always be GNUG. :)
