Be Excellent To Each Other

Name a date and time, Mr. Dimrill. Same goes for you, Mr. TheVision. I can do pretty much any evening.

Ill let you pick mine if you dont take the piss.

I won't, don't worry.

Excellent, I think I can too really apart from Monday nights. I need to get a bit of practice in first though but don't worry, We can try and arrange it for sometime this week or early next week if possible.

No worries. If you don't see me about on Xbox Live, just drop me a PM on here or something and I'll jump straight on if I'm in a position where I'm able to.

I'd like to say I'd start practicing right now, but then I'll have no excuse to when I lose horribly amusingly. The last time I played multiplayer SWOS, I was in highschool with an Amiga.

Runcle: how does tonight at 9pm sound to you? We can have a couple of warm-up games before launching into the real deal!

yeah sure, dreading it mind, my practise so far has been on rock band and in my dreams.

I'll go easy on you...



...in the warm-up games.

Im going to play it for 6 hours straight, from now, or maybe not but my competitive nature cant see anything but a crushing defeat either way.

You're assuming that I'm any good. I'm not really.

Ive been assuming a bit too much, I cant play tonight, my live subscription ran out today. Ill get it sorted tomorrow.

D'oh.

Holy crap, I'd forgot I was in this. My head has been stuck in work and coursework pretty much constantly lately.

Ramsea - if you're reading this most evenings between tomorrow (i.e. Thurs 5th) and Wednesday would be fine for me. Drop me an IM saying when is good for you, and I'll try and sort something out.

A week in and no results yet. This doesn't bode well.

mark x and i are looking for rasmsea, but haven't seen him at all, can we play each other?

I'd rather not - I'll start getting confused! He might be on holiday or something. I'm waiting for Runcle to renew his LIVE sub.

Curio's away for the weekend so our games won't be until next week at the earliest.

Ramsea's also away at the moment. I think he said he was coming to across to England for a few days when we played with him last week.

To collect the post, perhaps.

Cool, as long as we have genuine reasons why matches haven't been played, I don't mind.

For some reason I can't actually play any online games now, rather annoyingly. It says my Gold membership has expired, but when I go to "Account Management" it says it's still active.

you can see in ya main gamertag is when you start up
either its in a shitty unnoticeabler gold or in a greyish silvery colour thats means your on silver im on silver at the minute.

Are you back on gold now, Runcs?

Na Im getting the 30quid llive subscription off 365 games tomorrow, so probably next week, Ill try find a 48 hour code thing though in the meantime.

Hi guys, yes sorry I have been in your country this week and have been unable to play my games...I did think we had until the 13th tho which is why I didnt mention it.

Anyway, I'm free most nights, so if you see me on xbox live invite me to play...or I will vice versa. If this doesnt get a result by the end of tomorrow. (Sunday) then I we can arrange a more formal time.

Is it very different? A shame about Princess Di, isn't it?

Hmmm, not terribly different...although I am struggling at what relevance the, now very old, tragic news about Princess Di has...please enlighten me kind Sir.

Oh, I was just being rude and predictable, and making jokes about you visiting us 'on the mainland', as if it's something you'd do every 20 years or so. Sorry.

No need to apologise, I'm still pretty tired from travelling and only got back home within the last few hours...I thought you may have been suggesting I was wales...that would be an insult.

Sir, I challenge you to a duel. (By which I mean "I'm Welsh", only I'm not really bothered, and realise that it was just a joke.)

I'll try and catch you online tomorrow.

Sure Mark, I'll catch ya online tomorrow...and yes of course I was joking...I even got overexcited by the funniness of it all and stupidly combined "I was Welsh" and "I am from Wales" to "I was Wales"

Well, that would have been an impressive feat. See you online! Where I shall AVENGE THE HONOUR OF MY NATION. Or, more likely, lose two-nil.

Right, it seems that my Xbox Live account has mysteriously fixed itself and I can now play online again. Dunno what that's about, but still, if Dimrill or TheVision see me online and want to get the game sorted, send me an invite

ramsea, tomorrow evening?

yeah the match between runcle and myoptikakakaka has been indefinetly postponed until microsoft can fix the red lights on my console, god damn it.

Sure...anytime after 7 will be good

Ramsea 3-1 Mark X
A late penalty to Mark X's Newcastle side gives them a glimmer of hope after 'fighting' their way back from a first half 3-0 deficit, but a lamely hit Asprilla shot to the keeper's left sees that hope fizzle and die, as Ramsea's Liverpool stroll on to victory.

Mark X 2-6 Ramsea
Liverpool brush aside an off-colour Newcastle in an especially one-sided encounter. After pinning the scousers back to 1-1, Ramsea's rampant reds run riot, with four second half goals making a mockery of his opponent, who might very well be holding his controller the wrong way up.

Curiosity: how's Thursday for you?

(Please note that I probably won't see your reply until late tomorrow evening as personal internet browsing is now VERBOTEN where I work. Cuh.)

I have booked in to play Sheepeh at 10pm on Thursday evening. I suggest that we play at about 10.05pm and then you pair can play at 10.10 (if you haven't already played).

Um, you weren't supposed to play both competitive matches at the same time - there's meant to be another round of games where you play later.

Doesn't matter though, I'll book them both in. Just means one of you will have a fortnight without a game at some point.

Romanista (Emotionoverkill) - Ramsea (the professionals) 3-2

The Emotions started very strong, with an easy goal in the 6th,and two goals shortly afterwards by Piteous. In the second half Gutted , the second striker of the Emotions got a red card, and Romanista was indeed gutted. Ramsea's Frogman scored twice and he was back in the race. Some scary minutes followed, but in the end Overkill prevailed.

'bag in the race' is that a dutch expression?

Or a spackyhands typing of 'back in the race'.

Thought dutch security at athletics events was poor and all participants didnt trust to leave their belongings in fear of stealers so took them into the events they were in, so bag in the race.

mm, sorry for the dyslectic spelling thing, stupid. but at least it was entertaining

I only have to play you this round, I think... yeah, just after 10 is ideal for me.

Nope, you have to play both games by Friday.

Or Myoptika will hurt you.

I've not had the Xbox online much this week so Dimmers and TheVision probably haven't seen me online much. That in mind, shall we make it tomorrow night, chaps? Sometime after 7pm?

Unlucky Mark, you just didnt get into the game last night...there were a couple of moments where you'd pull something together or there were the occasional flashes of brilliance...but overall, the games were fairly comfortable. I hope you manage to bring your game together when you meet Romanista...because the way he played...I could do with you getting a result or 2 off him.



Good game mate, you battered me in the friendly and I thought I was gonna get battered in the proper game too when I went 3-0 down. Fortunately I started to get "back into it" (swos I mean, I havent played for agees) and managed to pull 2 back and almost made it 3-3 but was denied by the post.

I'm not really sure what'll happen if we finish on the same points after all games...goal difference I suspect...but what if thats the same...myp?

Anyway guys...apart from the shitty buggy online that is SWOS, I thoroughly enjoyed the games and thought they were played with great sportsmanship.
