I would like to thank the following players:
blackghost501
Neauho
Mister Garmin
Matt iclic
LSD-DarK83 Comte
There were 5 of them, and only 4 players on my team. I was the only one of those four actually playing, however.
The reason I would like to thank the enemy team is because they stayed spread out, and while they were quite happy to dominate my tank-oriented character's (lack of) infantry skills with their Advanced-level equipment, they didn't go out of their way to converge on my position the instant I gave it away, instead choosing to very politely engage me alone or at worst 2 vs. 1, which only happened after I called in a tank.
When I realised they had 2 tanks, and their tanks were both armour-focused, I tried to attack with my cheapest Sica fitting (approx 250,000 ISK - less than I earned in the match), which is equipped with a Missile Turret. By the time I called it in, it was too late to do much, but I found and got into combat against both enemy tanks without dying before the MCC blew up.
In spite of this failure to perform, I felt good about the match. I managed 2 hacks - a turret (which I died in - and as a result can confirm that dying in a turret counts as 2 deaths, just like a vehicle) and the objective. For the record, yes, they left the objective to flip before re-hacking, so while I legitimately reached it undetected and managed to initiate the hack, it was only the kindness of my opponents that allowed me the 100 WP from that action.

I SALUTE YOUR HONOUR AND SENSE OF FAIR PLAY
I probably wouldn't have been as polite.
One final note: If I knew for certain that all 3 of my teammates had made a conscious decision to AFK before the match, I would be sorely tempted to post their names in spite of such action being against the forum rules. I'd rather not see myself banned from here though, and I'm not really comfortable publicly outing the whole group when one of them had 0/2 at the end of the match. They may have AFKed, but it looks like they only did it after making an effort, and I'd rather not punish that when they willingly took a K/D hit by staying until the end. It's not worthy of a salute, but at least it's not as bad as the people who were already AFK. |
