The TD that was

[Trojan]

Greetings TDers,

Another TD has been and gone.

First of all we want to acknowledge all the people that travelled great distances to Frag with us. People came down from Sydney and up from Tumut. Many of these people travelled to attend their first TD. We certainly hope you enjoyed it and hope to see you again. We also would like to thank all those people who hung around at the end to help with the pack up and clean up. Many hands make light work and we were able to clean everything up in close to an hour. Finally the last TD was host to the physical meeting of TDs online clan - Damage Incorporated. For several months now a group of dedicated gamers have been playing in competitive online TF2 ladders. While a lot of these people know each other from TD there are some team members who have never met face to face. Well that changed on Sunday with a large number of the Damage Incorporated Crew showing up for the LAN.

We had a solid turn out of 43 people and every spot on every table we had was filled (we even had to put Mr Lee on smallish table on his own (sorry )).

The team player LAN games were all a huge success. TF2 was played by 4 teams of 9. Once again teams were selected and captains named. Surprisingly Moddy was voted the number one captain even though he wasn’t even playing - such is the power of the man.

The team which triumphed was Team 1 ( Rogueagent, Pickles, Fang, Dr angry, Trojan, Scorp, Stealth, Forge and Gretchen.) No surprises that this team had more then their fair share of Damage Incorporated players. Team 1 went through undefeated but were pushed to the wire by team 3 captained by XT who was abley supported by Tiger, Waffles and Mr Hix only going down 3-1 with the last capture taking place only minuted before the end. The epic draw on well between 3 and 4 (captained by Genesis) in the first round showed the evenness of the teams in the competition.

Next up was quake 3. This was taken out by team 1 which consisted of Sauce, Harlan, Hiscsy, stealth, The Unbeliever, Pickles and Prometheus. They manged to win 2 out of the 3 games they played. Team 3 (Gretchen, Imy, Mccurry, Phil, Master Rofe, XT and Chrismann) found themselves in the unusual position of not losing a single game and not actually winning any games either by playing out 3 draws.

In the starcraft battle the 2 on 2 teams of (Mr Lee and Gretchen) and (Waffles and Imy) won their categories while the monster free for all game was won by (opps I don’t know can anyone help me with this??)

During free time we saw some TF2 been played and some quake 1 amongst others. We also saw the humans smash the beasts in the savage game.

So in closing we feel the LAN was a great success. There was minimal problems and judging by the feedback we got on the day and since everyone really enjoyed themselves. We will be looking to hold another LAN very soon and will let you know details within the next 3 weeks. Remember if you have any suggestions about the LAN we more then welcome them -so please contact us or post and share your wisdom.

Thanks for reading
The TD crew.

I think Gretchen won the starcraft moster free for all.

Out of curiosity, WHERE was it?

There's not a mention anywhere about the location of this thing.
