***official deathmatch thread***

Thanks guys. This BS with the Sony servers is aweful. It has to be the servers, right? We cant here each other even in a small room. The lag sucks. I had to restart one of the heats because of that. That last match took about 30 minutes to get off because of join errors.

And I had no idea that the highest you can set the kills in dogfight is 100. There is no unlimited selection. Nobody knew this. Mergirvin got 100 points with 1:30 to go and won the game. Damn that! We'll never know how many he can get. That guy is good! And a good guy, too. And the other guys in the heat lost 1:30 of scoring. I really felt like shit over that, but what can we do? It hit the game limits. The show had to go on. That 3rd heat was awesome!!

The leaders did really well.
Several guys had their best scores ever. Thanks so much to the guys available as replacement pilots. Their scores only count toward Top Gun, nothing else. With the number of no shows, we would not have had 6 pilots in every heat. But we managed to do so. SNOWOLF-7 came out of nowhere. He had a simply outstanding night. As Bunny287 also had his best going on. krsansic was excellent in the g6, nailing 2 Top Guns along with SNOWOLF. And SINNSR! And Watermanr7 basking in that Hawaiian sun! And killerhawk had his top game ever. They came out of nowhere also. All these guys brought their A game.

I think lots of guys were nervous. I sure was. The pressure of competition! Lots of disappointed players, but that's the way it goes. The cool, calm guys did the best. This thing is wide open for the taking. I think tomorrow we'll see some really good scores.
