ROUND ONE:
COUNCIL 1020 - 1140 SERFS
DRUNKEN BATTLE FOR THE MUPPET DOME
MVP - ROSSINIO

(Well the teams setup and the early stages belonged to the Council with them taking a small lead of 2-3 kills. Rossinio was getting the majority of the early kills for the Council. The game swung after 4-5 minutes with the Serfs taking a lead and using grouping tactics to overwhelm the Council who decided their best tactic was to just charge with knifes out.
The Molotiv Cocktails didnt do as much damage as health was on double but a few Muppets did pick up some great flaming bottle toss kills.
With only minutes to go their was only 5-6 kills in it but the grouping tactics of the Serfs really helped them keep that lead and more within the last minute. A very close round and the top muppet murderers were Rossinio, Nutmegvvilson, Focuszetec and Boosh.



ROUND TWO:
COUNCIL 1030 - 920 SERFS
FIREWORKS BEACH PARTY
MVP - MIGHTYBOOSH

(Well after the Council lost Round 1 they knew this was an all important round and with hotshots like Hodgy a little weakened due to lack of bullets it gave the Council a chance they had to take.
It was fast and frantic and grenades, rockets and all sorts of explosives were being chucked around the place.
The Council with top scorers Mightyboosh and Egofilter were always just keeping a small lead over the Serfs and this lasted til the end but only ever 4-8 kills was the difference.
A very close game again and the teams were proving to be very close indeed.)



ROUND THREE:
COUNCIL 0 - 1 SERFS
BOMB THE COURTYARD
MVP - HODGY

(Well with Pistols only it was never gonna be easy especially not with Hodgys super feather fast pistol shots. Next time I reckon shottys as this round ended within 2 minutes and the double health really was quite frustrating with pistols. Sabotage is a mode I'd like to see us play more as its fun but its getting the right balance adn this style didnt work. Serfs took an easy win with Hodgy hitting double figure kills while everybody else had 1-4 kills.



ROUND FOUR:
COUNCIL 34 pts - 11 pts SERFS
TOTALLY TANKED
MVP - SPARTAN & ROSSINIO

(Well a little confusing round but with time and maybe more balance and possibly letting the other team choose thei own captains this could be a real fun round. I quick explanation on rules, basically only the captains (Lam/Ross) can use Tanks (nobody else) and they are the only ones that gather points. A kill is a point for their team and a death is a point for the opposing team.
Well we started brilliantly as the Dongziller and some other members took down Lams tank very quickly. With only 2 tanks on maps this left Lam hiding for a while but with radar always on it wasnt always an option. Lam picked up quite a lot of kills but in the process of knifing he also got a lot of deaths. Rossinio did a great job in tank and it took the Serfs a good while to destroy his tanks.
Spartan, Boosh, Nutmeg and Hodgy were the main killers, protectors and snipers keeping the enemy from taking down the Captains.
Was a interesting mode and like to try it again but with slightly different rules and maybe maps with more tanks. A Council win and 2-2 on the night. )



ROUND FIVE:
COUNCIL 3 - 4 SERFS
DOZEY CAPTURE THE FLAG
MVP - SPARTAN & NUTMEG

(Well I love Capture the Flag and for me its one of the best COD modes, though I do like Touch Flag OFF as for me this ruins the game (I like 10 sec return on).
Well the game had a big disconnection at the start so we had to all restart and this would happen again to some in the last 1-2 minutes which probably ruined this very close and fun final round.
The Council started the better capturing a early flag. Dong, Boosh and Ego stayed mainly on defence and King, Ross, Nutmeg and Spartan patrolled outfront and went on attack.
We then both grabbed each flag and brought home for a score. Half time the Council led 2-1 and we now swapped sides.
Well they started the better this time and grabbed the flag to score 1-0 but then we pulled it back to 1-1 but in that time we lost Dongziller which gave us a little trouble in defending and the Serfs was able to grab flag and come home to take a 2-1 lead, to be fair when we lost Dong they had already got flag so the Serfs would have scored I'm sure. But on capture of 2nd, they quickly grabbed flag again and then we loss Ross and shortly after Webby. I was able to stop Nutmeg running home with minute on clock in tunnels. I then bettied up the flag on both sides of it while waited for it to respawn out our base, Hodgy ran into one betty and died and then booom the other betty that was least 20 feet away went off and blew me up as I watched the flag. So now I had 15 sec respawn Council had lost Ross, Webby & Dong and Serfs had now lost Mike the game got a little tedious, which was a shame as this had been very close and would have been fairest if it had gone to a sudden death decider on Capture the Flag.
It was a big shame to end like that but a big gratz to the Serfs for coming back so well in the 2nd half and they thoroughly deserved the win for their persistence.
Hopefully Xlive will sort out its connections as I have noticed it doing it far more recently and it spoiled a classic last round. But no matter as more importantly it was a good night and a lot of fun. Thanks...)


MUPPET COUNCIL 2 VS 3 MUPPET SERFS

Well 8 battles in now and I reckon maybe a small change of game for the 9th.
Maybe a Rainbow 6, Gears2, Left For Dead or Halo...

great write up boosh

well done the serfs

looking forward to the next one

Aye was a grand old night ... real pity to lose it due to techy issues though... left a bit of a bad taste. Serfs may have won anyway but wouldve been nice to take em to the decider we deserved.

Well played all.

Mate, I survived until the end, it said game over then I got booted trying to get into the lobby, so sadly my abscence meant nothing.

Still a bloody good evening, and I await the time I can get revenge on the evil Serfts with my Form Weapon(Double Barrelled Shotgun).

Yeah enjoyed this even though kept getting owned, shame about connection at the end bcos game was really close. Would welcome a BOTM on Gears

great nite lads, damn you boosh, u keep cuming up wid game types to weaken me

Aye was a good night.
Anybody having trouble tonight tried to play CODW and it kicked me 5 times and also i cant invite anybody to any of my games when in lobby. Very strange,...
