DFC Bow out of MCW
It looks like DF have finished their MCW season, with the final two games being defaults. QC have been defaulting all season, so we have no game on the final week.
This season has been a bit of a disappointment following last season's Div4 win, with half of our games being defaults (and getting stuffed in 3 of the 4 games we actually played). After reading Bif's mail re the future of the MCW, I have to agree - modem gaming will not last much longer. A single unrestricted ping league is definitely the way forward if QW is to remain popular at all.
DF have played their last ever MCW game, but would happily take part in a new unrestricted league, preferably on a day other than Wednesday :) (argueably our two best players cannot play on Wednesdays - bit of a bugger really)
The other direction that DF could take would be to try a different game. After playing an early beta of Unreal Tournament for quite some time, I have to say that it has great potential. The weapons are cool (I love the rocket launcher's ability to fire 5 at once :)), and there isn't all the obscuring fog and smoke that Q3 seems to possess. It's clean and fast, and I believe it will appeal greatly to QW die-hards. I believe the next test version is out today - Reubs..... :)
I would once again like to thank the MCW admins for their work over the years. To receive abuse and no-shows week after week for no reward must be commended.
Also thanks to the DF members who turn up for every game, even when it's only to collect the default. It's very annoying when clans don't have the decency to let you know they'll be defaulting - cheers lads.
