The Battle Grounds Observer

I know we said to watch this space in the last post and that was some time ago.  There is a fair bit of stuff going on right now in BG2. LBC Reformation The LBC is coming back, old news?  Well you wouldn't be mistaken for thinking so, but the reformation in question is not the one Swarth was setting up.  That seems to have fallen into a black hole somewhere. The latest revival attempt is being headed up by 42 Commando, one of BG2's most active linebattle clans.  They have a section on their forums for discussion on this new tournament here , From what we have gathered they are having a website built for it.  This should wet the appetites of all the linebattle clans out there hasn't been a successful linebattle tournament/league since the LBC closed its doors last July. Battle for the Colonies 2/3/4/some number (delete as applicable) Battle for the Colonies (BFTC) was an event created back in the days of BG1.  A risk sort of game where players are as...

Yesterday evening, our Observists found fragments of a conversation between 2 of the 42Cdo leaders. Our conclusion was that the alliance between 42Cdo and RC might be no more. We quote: Greedychris : Wow, that was a fun argument, RC having a go at us. Joethepro36 : This stuff is starting to piss me off. I'm supposed to condemn RC's "rebels" for solidarity and all that and now I think they're right. Greedychris : Yeah, it's funny. Joethepro36 : We practically had the real life version of a military standoff over a single ex-RC member joining us for christ's sake! --- UPDATE: We have received additional information proving that the alliance has been dissolved. |RC| Liam Cuddihy: " There cannot be commaraderie between rc and 42Cdo if all of our traitors and rebels and people who head hunted from us to cause trouble and acted heavily against us all take refuge in your (42Cdo) ranks." --- On a brighter note, The Royal Recruits are back!...

Date: 17th January 2010 Time: 2100GMT Server: |42Cdo| Map: trr_territory2 Score: |42Cdo| 6 - |RC| 4 Writeup: The first match for |RC| after losing a large number of members, especially a good proportion of their highest ranking members.  They proved that with this close match the damage done by the departures wasn't irreparable. |42Cdo| elected to go Americans first, smart move as the map is very American sided and getting an early lead always impacts on the enemies moral.  |42Cdo| made good use of dual lines catching |RC| off guard at first.  |RC| tried to respond with the same tactic but to no avail.  The first five rounds went to the American |42Cdo|. Some |RC| members let this brutal scoreline get the better of them, resorting to whining in chat.  The switch came, now it was all on |RC| to make good use of the American bias of the map. After their dual line disaster of the first half |RC| stuck with just the one while |42Cdo| reverted to a sin...
