State of the Game

Yeah but I think it lasted for a max of 20mins.

Some guy got killed on two consecutive days in sol, by the same guy with a Cmdr prefix. He was claiming it was a bot, and he wasn't in open. And had a screenie of the guy saying he was getting shot due to powerplay.

I think he was a hormonal angry basement fellow, probably with less friends than a taxman, and I imagine about 40 years away from seeing his first real life boob on a beach somewhere. By accident.
Interesting, I was nearly blown up in Mobias by another player... CZ and on opposite sides, he decided to join the dogpile when I was 'dealing with' 5 NPCs who were determined to go down in flames.

I just exited gracefully and came back in my own PG :ROFLMAO: (and did another half dozen wins...)

Yeah it's supposed to be consensual there, so I don't blame you!

Yep, worse than I thought, sadly. For once it wasn't the openers fault.
All starts again on friday

Indeed, we've been short of a reliable opening partnership really since cooky retired. Hameed looks very unflappable which is good. Burns seems to be playing more for his place which is good too - they need to know that they can't constantly fudge up if you know what I mean. But the middle order just seemed tragic, like one of my Sunday matches!

We can hope for a better set of conditions for the fifth as you suggest. To be fair we're lucky not to be 3-1 down though...!

So many things could be picked apart though - the old maxims about taking half chances and so on. And daft run-outs. Ugh, it's hard being an England fan, right?!

I'm going to cross everything for Friday's game, which could get painful after 5 days. Especially trying to twist nuts around... that is desperation...!

No, there is a (allegedly - but we won't go there) strict no PvP policy, supposedly even in CZs.
Of course, to 'prove' one was being fired upon by another player a video is demanded...

Gotta admit that the other groups I play in (all PG) are much better as PvP is permitted, even if allegedly unintentional... Not looking at "Mr Friendly Fire" or anything, mate... :ROFLMAO:
 
Ah I see, they must have changed it as I thought it was allowed if consensual, but I could be wrong.

As for friendly fire from a wingman, - well, it's going to happen if you fly with me old chap ;) Especially as I had to patch up all the spike holes from the ramming!

I'm hopeful for Hameed - looks very promising - a nice slow grinder to wear out the bowlers, and construct an innings, rather than score all your runs in a few overs.
Agree about Burns. As you say - the middle order seemed to have lost their way.
Fielding was very poor at times - I think we dropped 7 catches in that match.

Batting does not seem to be our strong point at the minute - so we will probably swap some of the bowlers :)

I think the Ashes could be very painful this winter - it could be a bloodbath. :(

Oh well - glass half full and all that - on to Friday, you never know ....
