I must say, my gut feeling was that the Whalers would take it, but Zwaene's return seemed to make all the difference. The Pastafarians are well and truly back. Congrats on that great victory, guys.
It did make all the difference. Zwaene is an integral part of the group for two reasons:
1: He and Falco communicate best with eachother as captains because they speak to eachother in some strange, gutteral, secret language that they are both affluent in and I think it's at least twice as fast as english or something.
2: His catchphrase of "S**T F**K MOTHERF****ER" (he resorts to this even when speaking flemish) stirs the whole team into action immediately, and he has his crew trained like Pavlov's dogs to react on that command. It's like a secondary buff. We just couldn't adapt right away to our replacement pilot's, Candlehax, curses; they're much more specific and flavorful. They also tend to last longer. Like... minutes at a time. Really an earful. Very entertaining though. We need to find out where he went so we can make him do commentary.
We much appreciate the support guys, thanks a lot =) I personally appreciate the kind words, Morblitz. It's not easy contending against the best, but we try. All we really want is more play time with the top performers and couldn't accept being knocked out of the ranks today, so we were fighting hard.
I also thank Coldcurse for nudging a secret ship into the match at the very last moment without giving us time to react to the change, allowing us to test our true versatility. Very sneaky. I urge that Coldcurse should, on his next attempt to prove that a weapon or build he is employing is far too OP to be allowed, not test theories against PaFa on the match that will keep us in the rankings. I don't think anyone was swayed by the power of the artemis in this case. I do, however, feel that the current buff to the artemis was unnecessary.
Sammy B. T.'s support in today's match was really, really helpful. He deserves a big thank-you for filling in for our mysteriously vacant team member. I think Zwaene is baking him a cake now.
I also want to remind any hopefuls that we are still recruiting for replacement members! Yarr poopdeck!
