Yes, you have reached the page of Team somethingsomething, created by the mostly ambitious Lackadaisical. Basically this is a team to compete in [[THE SPOON]], and below is a list with the people who are in it. I think its full now because already have 8 people signed up here and I already asked some people who weren't really sure if they could compete. That means that ''if'' we face off against a team with less players not everyone might be able to play. I hope everyone is good with that; I'll try to make sure everyone gets around the same playing time.

== News ==

=== The 9th Ladle ===
Three months after the last ladle experience it was time for a rentré, thus we signed up with Pez, pavelo, MaZuffeR, newbie, nemostultae and Lackadaisical. The start in the first round was rough, but in the end we managed to cope better with the large amount of lag and were able to beat [http://www.xclan.net.tf ¦x¦] with 2-1. In the semi-finals we played against [http://tui.owns.it TuI], who had a playeracount advantage (8-6) vs our lag advantage (they had far more americans on their team). After a hardfought battle with spectators from ''around the world'' we secured our spot in the finals where we would face [http://www.sp-clan.com ~*SP*~]. This last game became a battle of stamina, as players on both sides were facing fatigue after playing intesively for over 4 hours. In the fourth match, we were able to wrap it up and win the ninth ladle with a 3-1 victory.

=== The 6th Ladle ===
Team somethingsomething made a comeback and took part in the [[Ladle-6/Challenge_Board|6th Ladle]]. After winning 2-0 against [[Tronic_Monkeys]] in the semifinal we were up against [http://tui.owns.it TuI] in the finals. After four very good matches we won the finals 3-1.

=== End of the Spoon ===
I guess it would be good to make a last newspost and make the team somethingsomething story complete so this page can go to the archives.

So.. well, we made it to the finals by beating the Crazy Tronners in a very nice match where we were two players short. Unfortunatly the teams who were meant to play the other semi final (MBC and the Anarchic Wanderers) weren't able to organize a match and interest in the spoon started to fade after two weeks of non-activity. Right now it says on the wiki frontpage that we have deemed to won because of something or whatever, but like all decisions made in this competition it was probably deemed by two people and the rest was to lazy/uninterested to react to it ;).

I deem this decision pretty cool ofcourse, but I think it would be more just to say that we were one of the three could-be winners of the spoon. Maybe a bit could-be'er than the other two teams, but not much more.

=== Semi Finals ===
Comming up match is the semi final against the crazy tronners. Right now this match is planned monday the 15th of may at 2100 GMT, and we are going to play at the CT spoon server. One of the main pre's for playing here instead of at zmans is because -ct-ed can close the server for other people so we don't need to keep on kicking everyone.

=== The Playoffs ===
Getting through the seed rounds undefeated and with only one match not played (against fe, the team that only played one match where none of them showed up) we got the #1 seed. Which means we will start playing against the team who did the worst in the seed round. Since there were only 7 teams participating in the seed round (incl. fe). Joda thought it would be a nice idea to leave our team and try to create [[8th Team]]. Since they didn't participate in the seed round at all we will be facing them in the Quarter Finals. I guess i'll send you all an email when the match has been arranged. '''The match is''' <del>monday the 24th of April at 1800 GMT</del> <del>saturday the 29th of April at 2000 GMT</del> '''<ins>wednesday the 26th of April at 2000 GMT</ins>'''

The playoff page with brackets can be found [[Playoffs (The Spoon)|here]].

In other news, click sent me an email to tell he was going to take a break from armagetron. Together with joda's departure this brings our team back to exactly 8 people.

=== Update ===
Ok, we won the first two matchs against AW and CT. Organizing the rest is a bit tricky, it looks like we can only get a game up with MBC at 12am BST (or 11pm GMT) on the night of the 12th to 13th of April. Because I've only got a few replies on my question if anyone could play at that time during weekdays, and time was ticking I scheduled it so we could be sure of four people (me click egg maz). We need to have five, so if you are able to play please put it on the talk pages or tell me or something.

=== First Official Match ===
Our first official match in the seed round will be played against the [[Anarchic wanderers]] wednesday on the 5th of April, at 2100 GMT. I'm going to be at zmans spoon server at 20.45, I hope to see you all there (or sooner on irc) to do some pre-match discussion.

The match after this will probably be against the Crazy Tronners on friday the 7th of april at 20.30 GMT, not sure though.
=== Practice Session ===
Ok i have organised a practice session with [[Knights of Ni]], on Saturday <del>00.00</del> <ins>24.00</ins> GMT, '''This is the night of saturday on sunday'''. The plan right now is to meet up at the #armagetronteams irc channel on freenode, if you are completely unable to go there you could go to zmans spoon server. The IRC channel is prefered though. We will probably be playing at lucifers server because i'd like you all to learn how to cope with lag. An email has been sent.

== The Ladle / Re ==

Hey everyone reading this, last week Pez came to me asking if we should try to regroup for one of the ladles, and Maz told me yesterday pavelo had the same idea. I'm not sure if I could play the Ladle 6, but I wouldn't mind if Team SS entered. I think Maz was gonna send everyone an email to check if there is enough willingness/availabilty among the rest of you.

Lack

== Old Discussion ==

tryin the talk page out.

do you want me to set up a forum for us to use? i can just add it to existing forums i'm already an admin for on another game
Pez

----

Yeah, I've been thinking about maybe creating something of the likes, but well, theres already alot of going on on the wiki and on the armagetron forums, so it's really just another place there is to go to/register for. Although if theres enough people willing to go trough the (minor) hassle it's cool.

oh btw, it seems xevi stole ed from us, so we have two places open. If anyone knows someone who you think should join our team, i wouldn't mind if you'd ask them to sign up.

lack

----

also, only just seen the dates n if its defo the 15/16 of apr i wont be about for all of it. big night out in london on that sat and aint gona be back till sun afternoon.

pez
----
Do we have room for me???? garis
----

this is gonna be an awesome team :D

from what i've read winzones will be active and as this is a comp we should use em as everyone else will be. Also holes will feature quite a lot even tho they aren't deliberately used so much these days.

pez

----

yeah, winzones being legitimate changes the way we should play the game. I'd like to go a bit deeper on the subject (and on the use of holes) but i'm not sure if it's good to have a discussion about it where anyone can see it. So i'm thinking of a password protected shoutbox and put a link of it on the wiki.. I'll send you all another email when i get it.

Gar, it's fine you join but we are getting a bit big now, so you probably won't be able to play every game. Seeing all three teams getting big i think it might be worthwhile to form a fourth team. Oh and I saw that you were also listed for the anarchic wanderers?

Lack

----

sorry couldnt make the practise. my router died on sat afternoon and i didnt get a chance to get it sorted. all ok now tho

pez

----

The recording doesnt seem to work here...

Lack

----
Lack said:

>> we can only get a game up with MBC at 12am BST (or 11pm GMT)

would that be 'April 12, 11PM GMT' ? if that true i just might be able to come.... can't tell for sure yet... will know tomorrow

pavelo

----

the 12th is no problem for me but defiantely not on the 15th. i'll be about for the 16th from midday or so (when i get up and recovered from night before ;-) )

pez

----
Unless I travel for work, I should be up for the 12th. Probably can not do the 15th. Probably can do the 16th.

egg

----
Ok i think egg pez maz and pavelo should play because they won't be available to some of the future matches. I heard from both click and nemo that they could play too, so i guess they should fight it out who gets the last spot in an all out cagefight... or paper rock and siscor. Or if pavelo can't play click and nemo just fill the open places.

Lack

Oh, before i forget, joda is planning to join a team in the spoon because he heard that he still can. We are his first choice, as long as we decide soon enough if we want him (because i actually asked him to join more than a month ago). So, what do you guys think? are we already with enough people or could we use another player?

----

OK... now it's a definite no-go for me..... so there's no need for any cagefights or sth similar. though i always wanted to see a cage fight :)
I have no problem with joda joining... he's a very good player and there are larger teams than ours.....

pavelo

----

no probs with joda joining at all, he's a quality player. you never know if everyone is gonna turn up and better to have too many than forfeit. if we do have too many then whovever doesnt play should get priority next match.

pez

----

ok i think im going to let him if he's still available, especially seeing we are low on players this weekend.

Lack

----

any news on playing FE or are they out? kinda funny that fotress elite haven't played any games in a fortress tourny O.o

pez

----

Yeah, there are topics from every other team on their [http://fe-clan.mlbel.de forums] but noone has been able to arrange a match.
Very disappointing indeed for a clan called Fortress Elite, you'd expect them to show that the whole clan thing is a bit more than just a tag.

Lack

----
for teh next matches we should get more organised. it took bloody ages to get the match against mbc started due to both teams being badly organised with tags etc. think we started 40 mins late!!
pez
:Z-man reverted the [TS*] thing quite a while ago, but he accidently re- activated it. It's disabled again. He also disabled the team color thing, teams are only blue and gold now :) --[[User:Wrtlprnft|Wrtlprnft]] 09:30, 14 April 2006 (CDT)

----

bit quiet at the moment on here. Any news on the tourny matches?

pez

== Seeding System ==

ooh, nice seeding system :) we get to play one of the best teams in the tourny in first knockout round after winning all our matches? not complaining just seems a bit messsed up... --pez

:Well, that's because they're late and therefore count as the worst team in the seed rounds. Before they entered you weren't scheduled to play the first round at all because there was no enemy ;) --[[User:Wrtlprnft|Wrtlprnft]] 08:29, 24 April 2006 (CDT)

::Technically, that makes them not seeded at all. We don't know how good they are because they haven't played any games. I think the two teams that didn't play many games (FE played one, this new team played none) should face each other instead of fighting teams that ''really'' seeded. -- [[User:Nemostultae|nemostultae]] 09:28, 24 April 2006 (CDT)

:::Then do so, I don't really care, but that will basically throw the seeding results all over and make the seed rounds useless except for practice. --[[User:Wrtlprnft|Wrtlprnft]] 12:49, 24 April 2006 (CDT)

::::still seems messed up :p I dont care who we play just commented on it while i thought of it! --Pez

<HR>
Gratz to All re the 1st Play-off

A very useful victory over a team that contains some very good players. 3-0 turnover was a great result, and as 8T was the only side we didn't beat in the seeding round the others will have something to think about if/when they meet us for the second time!

Gnice :)

Roll on the next round.

----

so whens the next match? --pez

----

any idea where nemo was yesterday? nemo?
