Here are some pics from the anniversary Team Scrum game. At times there were up to 20 great players at once in a game with very little lag. WOOT!

Those not in attendance were made fun of severely. ;)

Thanks to Prey for hosting!!

Some of us jumped into a Med tank for a SLOW drive down memory lane to when were DEMOs. :)

Jangles scored again... Surprise, surprise. :)

Looks like I was doing better in the Medium.

Darn you -z-! ;)

It was Great Fun!

C'yall at the 2nd anniversary! :D

I wish I could have been there...

Bah! I never made it last night. Was at 12 Midnight my time, and I was exhausted, so I couldn't stay up. Boo hoo. Would've been nice to play with all you guys. Ah, next time I suppose. Looks like you all had a good time.

Some of us started with the anniversary mediums. Paco took it one step further and played the heavy. One play I do remember. Paco had the ball nearly fall on his head. No one around with a clear shot at the goal. Thought he must have pushed his finger through the up arrow. I came along and thought about bumping him and running it in. They were gaining fast. Then on second thought ,I veered away and ran to the goal. Why take it from him... He almost made it. Swipped at the goal by MP. This followed by 17 other players typing booooo. Heh. Great fun. Looks like after 15 players the names clip. Think sluggy came on and asked what color he was? Think he shot everyone for a while...

Note to Tally. Playing 9 on 9 doesn't work too well. Keep the leagues to about max of 4 on 4... It should be noted that green always had more players.... Bolo likes to win....!

Most cool part. Think Dan Macdonald shot Bolo more than me. Heh, they were on the same team. Such love... Brought a tear to the eyes..

My brain is still rattling in my skull from all the chaos that night! You have not experienced a true goal-fight until you grab the scrum and your head nearly explodes from the sounds and sights of 3 area-effect hits, 30 super-fast hits, 6 tank bumps, and a dizzying array of bounce-back balls flying around your face! My sound-card nearly erupted with the effects. My favorite was watching Paco, in his heavy, hit a speed pad and slam into the other tanks like a bowling ball to pins! Intense, chaotic, a tad laggy, but very fun! SO help me, it sure did seem like it was raining green tanks around the goal at times, though! XD

That was a lot of fun! Thanks for hosting it PREY! You really know how to throw a party. Sorry I couldn't hang around and clean-up the mess this morning. :S

Paco's near goal in a heavy was certainly a highlight, and I got to steal a goal from Bolo, who just happened to be on my team, :S sorry Bolo, but the real highlight for me was playing with such a great group of players. Nobody asked us to join an army, accused people of being impostors, intentionally dove off cliffs or complained when someone made a good play. It was just a lot of good natured banter and great fun!

I'm glad MonkeeMan remembered to bring his camera. Nice shots! I didn't think about it until the clock hit :00, but I managed to get one last second screenshot.

Look forward to the 2nd anniversary!

Cant get much closer to the scores screen then that eh KBC? ;) Looks like Bolo was showing yall how to play.

I agree. That was the most fun ive had in a long time. Kept waking up the kids when I yelled at some play or minor frustration. My head and eyeballs were spinning for half an hour afterwards.

DanMac

Sorry I missed it. Sorry I missed it to finish this lameass claymation project. Apologies to everyone.

Frap.

Sure wish I'da known about that one.... I probably wouldn't have played (my worst nightmare having that many players) for fear of claustophobia, but I woulda loved to watch and cheer you boyz on!!!!

It was a blast.

I was just taking random pictures. Anybody have screenies of the final scores? I don't think I ever knew who won which game, nor did I really care. XD

Thanks again for the great fun last night PREY! Didn't manage to get back online until very late (or early I guess) & the room was empty & strewn with empties, dirty paper plates, party hats & the stench of bongwater.

Lots of classic moments, especially Paco in his Oprah suit. Alas I didn't get any screenshots or have the presence of mind to record the shindig :(

Here's to another year of TT! I hope all the fun players stick around for another round of insanity next year.

MP

Dang! Sounds like y'all had a great time at the anniversary games. Sorry I missed out. Looks like a good crowd. Bet there was plenty of action and plenty of laughs. Hopefully there be another one next year.

MJ

There was a long time when NONE of the black sheep were there. Eventually babs and rx showed to represent...

Missed u mj...

B

Hehe...

Actually I opened up the game bolo, well before you arrived.

Baaaaa!

I had given up my tank to dar and kj when you joined the party.

Sorry for the late entries but some more visuals for those who couldn't make it:

Another Evil goal:

Heavy Paco puts up a stout (no not Guiness) defense:

Paco, stuffed full of smores lurches to the goal

DemoPrey goes airborne:

A cozy campfire scene, techniques of making the perfect smore were a hot topic of discussion :

More scenes around the warm glow of the campfire

Dar drives toward the goal flanked by his wingmen

Paco claims another victim

Retro Demo Prey shows he hasn't lost the old moves

Some of the high brow commentary that accompanied the games:

A fun time was had by all!

Thanks to Prey for his efforts.
