It had been a few weeks since our last game and we were itching to get into another one.

Unfortunately, just before the game was to begin, Havok from Dad's Army told us that the server had been hacked into and that they would like to postpone. We suggested to play on the Zip clan server, but that had already been upgraded to TF 2.8 and QuakeWorld 2.21 and not everyone had upgraded yet. Anyway, Havok managed to get the server back up but warned us that it could crash again. We were keen for a game so we went ahead and played.

Playing at various stages of the game were Hetzer, Victim, Fenrir, Mil, Mic, Tetsuo, Shilka and Grimm, but usually not all at the same time. :-) Proto, Z, rj, Strafe and Karl were nowhere to be found.

After a few server crashes, the game eventually got underway. We started off in a very disorganised state, with only 6 people playing. Hetzer, Fenrir and Victim protected our flag, while Grimm, Shilka and Mil went on the hunt for D.A.'s. Even though we were two down, we managed to hold our own and the score remained at 0-0 for a while. Throughout the game we lost Victim, Grimm and Fenrir at different stages, but also gained Mic and Tetsuo. Mic joined the attackers and Tetsuo stayed back to help defend. After getting through a couple of sentries, we managed to make the first capture, but during the confusion of player dropouts, D.A. fought their way through well to follow up with two captures of their own and go to a 20-10 lead. Fortunately, Mic was able to score again for us, taking us to a 20-20 draw. During the game, Hetzer caught the enemies out with the incorrect change quite a number of times.:-)

D.A. played a good game and showed that they are a force to be reckoned with. We look forward to the rematch on a more stable server, and hope to show them what a full-strength Loki side is capable of. :-)

Map score: Loki 20, D.A. 20.

Game score: 0-0 all draw.
