I agree with Zill that maybe we stay on track on this forum. Could always do separate forum for gun talks?

I can almost see Corvus running a galeon/pyra here

Are you some kind of psychic?

Line of reasoning:

They were going to give Phoebe a Lumberjack, So they have 3 choices, Spire, goldfish or Galleon, Spire is out as Aqua doesn't fly spire, and Galleon is generally a far better bet for snipping matches so it was the most probable outcome.

Another thing though that swallow got very wrong in commentary. Yes we used Pyras for all of our matches, but it was a different load out each match. We did tried new things. The first one we planned sniping with paddling, because that is what they do. That game was 5-3 by the way. They got us with the Lumber Jack.

Second match I used double ballon poppers, while Skrim has standard load out with Pasta. They did NOT slaughter us, it was 5-4 by the way.

Thirdly We used gatt, flak, flak, gat load out on NMS, and we had trouble cause almost both our ships were all subs. We also had bad spawns, cold not regroup etc.

Not saying that NMS did not deserve that win, not at all, just saying what happened.

And one more thing. All you players out there now liking the Lumber Jack and wanting to steal my girlfriend to serve on your ship, BACK OFF! You had your chance, you did not see Phoebs potential, I did, and she also saw my potential as a Lumber Jack pilot, and her man.   I actually appreciated her for it, and her tatical insight, while others even wanted to kick her off their team, or were disrespectful to her being a woman. Shame on you. Plus since she is now my girlfriend, you can't have her. LOL

Well it is interesting that you say that Veyka, because when i started this game the Spire was the only ship I liked to fly, and even Bubbles made comment on it, but Lumber jack spire can be hard, cause of it quick turning. Even so nice prediction, did not even see you said that before Cogs. LOL

It was defiantly a very different interesting cogs today.

Well Zitruskiller I do not care what you guys bring. You Russians are scary, and intimidating. LOL

Yeah I miss having two Russians on my ship telling me my guns are "SHIT, why you bring that SHIT I tell you NO GOOD!". It was like little hug from another country. Now I have a German that speaks little, does his job well, and loves his flare gun, a silent, but deadly lumberjacking Dutch women partner who's tactical objectivity is like no other, and a hawk eyed American of all trades able to fire Manticore shells at surprisingly accurate long distance while fixing the hull upstairs in a single bound. I am just the captain that happens to steer the ship, and enjoys the experience of a crew's hardwork.

...and yes i was routing for my old main engie.

Yeah that was a nice match. That was fun to watch. Nice and close game.

KAWWWWW!

The moment when you go turn on your bumpers for an incoming ram, and realize you never switched out the moonshine that you had from doing CPs.

I remember in a game where I was teaching a friend of mine how to play the game, me and zill kept telling him to go to the front guns but stayed at the side guns because he had no idea where they were.

I've seen that happen too many times. I'm not sure how the ladder can be made any more obvious.

I have that happen a lot myself. We take it for granted, because we know where it is, but they obviously don't. Frustrating yes, but not their fault.

While I cannot say anything about what was going on in game, I can say that I was on edge watching it on the stream (Probably b/c it kept freezing for me, and I had to have Voxx give me a play by play). My hats off to the Corvus for their tenacity. I look forward to meeting you in battle.

I appreciate that Shinkurex. I appreciate we put on a good show for you. I think that is what Cogs is about, putting on a good show. Like I said I do not mind losing as much as having fun, and making them close games. I was just upset because to much happened, and we were already stressed with subs and so many of us never worked together in this way. I believe it takes more character to lose than it does to win. I was just upset cause it was complete shut out. LOL

Wether we lost or won does not matter as much as we wish we had given you more of a challenge. Unfortunately we couldn't this time around. Congrats on your win.

LOL. I asked that because you have the graphics different than what you said in the description. You have Paddling and Gentlemen as match 1.

 Sunderland is on vacation, so I am taking his place.

Can somebody tell me what mistake prompted this message?

It was because he just flip the matches around in description, but had it backwards on the graphics.

Coldcurse, why not wait till you actually have a full team? There is no need for you to post a half a team, especially when you are not even sure if it is permanent? No need for a preview. It is kinda like you are posting the coming attractions that are really not needed. We just want the main movie. LOL

Just post when you have a full for sure permeant team.

Swallow are you changing the matches around to have the championship cog last?
