What a week!Author: jawapro

The weekend was Church Camp. It was actually the second one this year, because some of our members decided the other one was a little too formal and ‘planned’ and wanted a more relaxing sort. Congrats to those guys - and thanks heaps for organizing it. It was brilliant - although it rained most of the time. There were dorms though, so we all chickened out of the idea of tents. Camping in the rain is ok - but packing up wet tents afterwards is bad.
After camp, Turkey came back to my place and this time he brought Alister as reinforcements. Alister was up for some help with school (there’s an awesome teacher in Burnie who was giving him a hand). Unfortunately for Turkey, this meant he had to drop Alister off at said teachers house each morning so Alister could get a lift through to Burnie. So much for sleeping in until 11.
In theory Alister was doing homework after school, but in practice he seemed to fall asleep a lot. Lol - he did homework too though.
Thanks to Turkey for agreeing to mow the lawn for me while relaxing at my place for a week and a half.
I took one day off so I could relax a little too, and spent most of it playing Age of Empires II against Turkey. After one match where my Vikings creamed his Tectonic Knights, we had a rematch. This time I was the Spanish, and Turks was the Chinese. I didn’t know this, but the Chinese get machine gun style cross-bows, and are awesome. The Spanish get guns, but seem to have been learning from the French, and are useless.
Both Turks and I build stupidly awesome bases, and used all the stone from the map. Turk’s archers weren’t able to take my base, and my army wasn’t able to survive his archers. As I had control over the majority of the map, I had slightly better economies than Turks, and ended up extending my base all the way into his so my towers could kill his archers. This was made far easier when Turks eventually stopped trying to win and focused on merely annoying me. After about 4 hours, I finally destroyed his castle, and then had to chase down his king which had run away. Awesome fun for such an old game though.
Turks and Alister have gone home now - so everything is quiet at my place for now. Looking forward to Turk’s next attack (in January) - he’s planning to bring about 5 other people with him (I have stated that they have to sleep in tents - that many people WONT fit in my house). Should make for an epic game of AoE2 though!
