The pinnacle of the social interaction, of course, is getting to hang with grrrbians in RL; I've droned on about our connection so often and at such length that I'll just say that this rAge confirmed that I love you all like family. Add to this the awesomeness of BBH, HF, BFC, SSG (z0mfg the George Massive), FiB (sjoe! the combined wishes of 6 other teams that someone would just take a single round against Terra, or at least bag Sassy trying), the Rusties, Ooooom U2M, Phatso our bastard grrrbian son (who dry humped all of us and BBH over the course of the weekend) and you've got pure Leg-Endness.
The BF2 is purely a chance to play against people we can catch online most of the time anyway, but actually have them hear us curse them stukkend when they hax us. It's being able to ch00n killa to his poes face when he eryx's you for the 5th time in a round; it's throwing peanuts at Bounty after he refuses to get artied for 80 bloody tickets' worth of bleed; it's standing up to see who this FiB Speedy oke is after he's ass raped your whole squad AGAIN, and seeing it's a 14 yr old dude who's pwning you all and trying to stop phatso pinching his bum at the same time.
And so, the thankyou's:
To:
[grrr] for being [grrr].
Fly (Chef Red Roman [no relation to the d00s admin]) for the lift from the airport (and keeping it all hush-hush), the biltong breakfast, the organising of t-shirts, all the food and booze for the entire braai, and lee's retirement present.
Candypant for the couch and the lifts to and from the Dome.
Lee (the Slippery Duck who sinks like a stone) for the t-shirts, the absolute WASSUMNIZZ of the rAge 2008 video, the stonz0redness of your retirement speech, and your leadership since rAge 2008.
Scorp for the pimping shades for 2 years running now.
Grav for the braaimaster efforts (Leg-End boerrie, bru).
Fluffy, Os, Grav and NightFox (the Porra Pimp Daddy) for coming to rAge just to hang with us all despite the fact that the z0mfg l33tz0r dungeon meant that you couldn't LAN with us.
Shady and Lep for the airport lifts and general transport, and the life-saving junk food and cool drinks for the morning/afternoon after the Saturday night braai.
Onny and Daz for stepping up and kicking ass for the clan when duty called.
Drags for taking on the leadership of the clan, buying a medkit so that Onny and Sheri could revive lee, and the 22" that I'm staring at now (if you know what I mean).
Phatso for mercing for [grrr] in the AGASA League and the rAge comp, and generally being Pretty Hot And Tasty.
Scico for taking the time to come and chill, and nearly put me in a coma.
The admins who worked on the BF2 comp despite all the whining about the new set up.
All the teams who played in the rAge comp and AGASA Leagues this year, particularly their team Captains who had to deal with our d00s Captain Candypants (soz, okes).
Barry for teabagging Killa on camera at the Sizzler.
HF Skouperd and HF Bad A$$ Jack for the lift back to CT in such style (we must LAN soooooon).
