It really came down to the last few minutes. If Targ held the two spots for just a few more minutes, that would have been just enough points to pass Eleusis, by like 10-20. The double pronged hit from Cyrene and Eleusis hurt so bad, lol.
I was consistently running at 300ms, it was terrible. I did have fun in this CTF though; Eleusis put on a really difficult fight and being dogpiled on by three cities really hurt, but I think Mhaldor did well, especially the novices that decided to participate.
"Mummy, I'm hungry, but there's no one to eat! :C"
I'm super bummed that I had to work through it, but I'm glad it went so well! Congrats Eleusis.
"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to? You will never find that [everlasting] life for which you are looking. When the gods created man they allotted to him death, but life they retained in their own keeping. As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child that holds your hand, and make your wife happy in your embrace; for this too is the lot of man."
All of the cities really seemed on top of things this CTF. I loved when we attacked Tasur'ke, couldn't get the uproot because more people kept coming and hitting us, then Lala comes and uproots while everyone's focused on us, we let her uproot, then immediately switch targets to her to try and snatch the flag. So good.
Couldn't ever deal with one city without another taking advantage of your vulnerability and shoving your face in for their own benefit. Mmm.
The orbital bombardment breathrain was pretty fun, even on the receiving end.

I had so much fun sneaking around and taking advantage of fights to uproot flags. Qwindor and I got quite a few that way. Some I was able to keep, others I got my face stomped.
I really enjoyed seeing Hashan and Cyrene going on the offensive. It turned the CTF from a three/four-way fight into a real six team game. You just don't expect a team of Hashani and a Cyrenian death squad showing up when fighting Mhaldor! By far the most fun I've had in a CTF, even if we hadn't won, and I hope everyone else enjoyed it too!
I'm super proud of team Green, from our veterans like @Rangor and @Ellodin to the enthusiasm of a few 18 year old novices and everyone inbetween. I don't think I've ever seen us group up, attack, retreat/embrace death and regroup to move out again so well before.
That was the first CTF where we (Ashtan) didn't have >50 people. We had around 17 at peak at still made a go of it. Fun times.
I feel like your numbers this CTF is usually Mhaldor's numbers during CTFs. This time, we started with around 20 or less when we first started putting teams together and heading towards the hills, but then more and more showed when it was right about time to begin, and some showed during the event. By the end, we had something like 35. I was impressed.

Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.

Was a great CTF!
Good work, everyone. Fun times.
So pumped for Targ. Seems like they all had a blast.

"Josoul's got it"

Good job people!
@Cyrene Those track/breathrain groups were so satisfying to see, you guys did a great job. (Have you considered recruiting Deladan?)

*glare*
Yeah, Idk what we would have done without all of our newbies, like @Entaro and @Medi.
(I kid, I kid).
Eoka and Varini are champs!
