Trench Warfare

Second in a series (with some missing because I'm lazy) of Call of Duty league match reports. This week, we were down to play [GTW]Elite. Veterans (as much as anyone else anyway) of the Premiership, but not doing brilliantly this season (somehow managing to be below us in the table despite our record of loosing every match so far). We expected a though, but probably winnable match.

Except they didn't turn up. Initially the problem seemed to be connectivity to the game server (although our team managed to get on) but then it was decided that they had better things to be doing than trying to play their match, so they gave up. That means we get a default win (3 points for a win, but a zero for score difference) and them a default loss (zero points for a loss, and -20 to their score difference as a penalty for not playing). So, unless they have a strong turn around in fortunes in the rest of the season, we're probably going to finish above them, even if only on score difference.

Despite getting 3 much needed points, I'm disappointed. I'm in this for the thrill of the fight, not for the winning. I'd rather have a well-fought match than a default win, even if that means we loose.
