And so it began. I looked at the clock: almost 1am.
A group of 1up's were playing nicely on the public server. Argo was there defending his honor against the evil [?]Freo.
"Argo, do you hack?" Freo asked. "No! You can see my demo's!" Argo replied bitterly.
I listened in on vent as Argo continued to tell of his week long struggle with the "question mark clan". He spoke of their bad attitudes and amazing scores.
"I see them on all the time... even on the private server." Hmm...
Soon Argo made the decision to ask if they would like to scrim. They eagerly agreed and demanded to meet on the private server immediately! Shans, Blake, Argo, Picard, bearcat, Bourbon and Coffee made their way over and were greeted by the [?]'s...
*dramatic music*
Few were there. They asked for ringers. Only two 1up's could be found... and more than enough of the enemy.
"Where are you guys?! They are gonna get mad!" Said Argo and bearcat via Vent.
Soon Shans joined in and, at last, Coffee.
There they were. Shans, Argo, Bearcat and Coffee vs. [?]Joe, [?]Freo, [?]Pelican and [?]3/4>in_bed (or something like that).
I watched as the question marks pwnd the 1up team. Smoke was soon being used and accidental tk'ing began to occur. Argo seemed frustrated... "Why aren't you guys playing?! And why is your ping at 50, Shans?"
"...Uh... magic..." Shans replied.
Oh, it was an amazing event. Coffee killed Bearcat. Argo killed Freo. Pelican killed shans. Joe killed Argo. Oh, the insanity!
The timer was running out.
We decided to have an only 1up scrim after they were finished. "When it's time, change your name.." Shans said rather cryptically...
The map was switched.
Then suddenly, one by one, 1up's appeared. Shans became Bourbon. Joe became Shans. Pelican became Blake. 3/4>in_bed became Picard. Freo became Poe. Bearcat... well, he stayed bearcat... (in bed). And Argo stayed Argo... but a more confused Argo.
"What the..." he whispered.
The vent channel erupted in laughter.
What Argo didn't know is that I had been using my "spec'ing" name to play within the last week: [?]Freo. Coffee and Bourbon had as well. He knew he had seen us around and even on the private server... which should have been a sign.
In the end everyone but Argo knew the terrible truth. Hehe.
We love you Argo! We loved the epic scrim!
And we love Shans with his 50 ping.
<3 [?]Freo
