So, I had some weirdness today...
Start out the evening, I'm 52 points away from pfc. I play on a ranked server getting scores of 30-40 for 3 maps. XP bar in bfhq fills up, no message about gaining rank. I've heard of that happening before, so I just write it off. Log out, play on an unranked server for a while, log back into a ranked one. Still nothing. Map ends, new one starts. Immediately, I get a message saying "You may now use the alternate weapon for the kit you chose to unlock in BFHQ." or something like that. So, I immediately go to BFHQ and there's nothing there...nowhere does it give me an option to unlock anything. Ok, it's just lagging behind again...
Well, I go back to the game and notice that *all* kits were unlocked. I could switch between kits with unlocked weapons for 3 or 4 maps before I decided I should go home and make dinner.
That happen to anyone else? I think I caught a fluke with the whole ranks lagging behind, but I'm sure not complaining. I had a field day switching between all the unlocked stuff trying them out. I'm thinking I'll either go assault or support as much as it pains me to pass up the sniper rifle which was easy 1 shot kills on a 150 ping for me.

I can't believe I didn't get any tk's with all the mines I was throwing. There was one that I'd thrown just when we started to leave, so it ended up well away from where I'd intended and *right* in front of a teammate's moving vehicle. Thankfully, he hit the brakes in time. After that I kinda eased up with them, but it was nice to, after I hadn't thrown one for 5 minutes, get a couple kills randomly.
The only nice thing about the low ban threshold was it only took 2 or 3 of us to punish and ban that guy that shot us down and made us run to get another blackhawk (which is actually a heck of a lot of fun anyway).
Gallandro, do you fly with joystick or mouse? On the sigil lan tonight, I was doing an alright job with the mouse, but I didn't have a full bird so the long hover to cap got a little wild sometimes.

The much awaited ut2k4 match between myself and glip has just concluded and the victory is mine.
The first map was a fine performance by yours truly, and included comments from passersby along the lines of "why do you do this to people? it's just mean." The second map was much closer. I had the lead pretty well in control until Glip picked up the double damage and hit me in the face with something. From there he had a good little run of kills while I recovered and re-armed.
Final scores:
dm-1on1-trite: 35 - (-1)
dm-1on1-roughinery: 14 - 4
The second map was a lot closer than it looks. He's pretty fierce with the lighting gun.

If that's the case, let's count the 5 gauntlet kills in quake 3 that I got as 10 each making those map scores:
pro-q3dm6 44 - (-1)
pro-q3tourney4 71 - 3
And, in order to win a match, you have to win 2 of 3 maps, so no, you didn't win that match.

2v1, you and Crestone vs me, Monday, 7? Sounds good.
Negative.
You have to fight your way out of the loser's bracket before you get to try your hand at that. Never fear, Glip will be there with you soon enough, then you'll have your chance at the title, even though I've already defended 3 times in 3 different games.
Shall I post scores?

I know Artois was around for the great gnomish shakeup of 2004 in Unreal. You've felt the sting of the gnome, do you really think Crestone can survive it? 
The gnome has, indeed, seen the enemy, both in video footage and in game, although it was quake 2 in which he felt the wrath. I, however, have not had a chance to study my enemy, so my victory will be that much sweeter.
