Like we had all our masters here at 6 am.. only 4 of us were from 
masters and a few people who stood up late in the web..
We just wanted to have fun.. it was spring break.. and it
was i think a wednesday morning... since we had our scheduled
CMU game on wednesday night. not saturday.

lag tip... if u time it right your torps wil hit.                 
            or

"Hey! I haven't moved for half a minute - gee I wonder whether I
'll be
killed or not...." (me) .

sounds like the game we had with CMU and Golden Bears long ago.

Ez victory????? *chuckle*

Then all your victories are ez for u guys since you never leave home.
That is why you guys can't play well away cuz you dont have
lag practice.......

I mean 5 am ... boy... lots of net traffic 
at that tnime..

Probably the best time to play away....

My judgement of CMU stands as this:

Anything that will perturb their normal play 
will make em cry and run away.

I started playing bronco when it first came up... 
played there more than sequent.. 

pretty much saw you guys grow into competent players.

In my opinion... there is only one person on the
CMU rosters that is a true Master and intelligent person.

Val Ckurai

the rest... hmm.. 
try not to drive in straight lines..... :)
I mean really...

I was the only one defending CAS in orion space for
about 30 minutes one night last week against 
YEA BOY!!! and some other horsemen dudes and
destruction or Fear!! and others....

They only dropped one armie the whole time and
I was pretty much the only defender..(seriously)

I think 5 came in at once... and I'd first
take out one armie carrier effectively 
alluding their ogger and continued to
ogg YEA BOY!! and his escort.

I didnt understand why Fear! never uncloaked to at
least locate me.. 

We got genocided by the timer.

I mean 1 defender basically against 5 CMU people 
and they couldn't take it. and i live??? 

I had like 14+ kills.. and got ogged typing a message.

it was ez pickings for me...

maybe you guys underestimate Berkeley people who
play away.. 

Duck Dodgers
