Shut-out.. I finally did it... touch me... or not

I have finally accomplished something that I have been trying to do since the Windows version of Think Tanks was released...

I shut-out the bots in a scrum game... 20 to 0,0,0,0,0 Now those of you who have never tried this will scoff.. and say something like "Wow, thats not that hard". Have you ever played a full 15 minute match against them trying?

Many a match have I tried only to have that sneak Ri [Bot] run one in because he is closer to the new goal and scrum after I scored... Yes kids... remember, each time you score (and since you are the only one doing it, it will be everytime) the scrum and goal spawn in a new location where more than likely a bot will be waiting to score.

It is important also to note.. no new players joined and dropped a bot with a score.. this was a no holds barred 15 minute scrumfest in my favor...

This was also done with the "new and improved" bots since the upgrade... I am pleased with my accomplishment and plan to move on from LUSH to maybe SPOOKY or FRANTIC for my next shut-out personal challenge... have to have something to occupy my time while waiting for players to join.


We needed a new topic anyways.. Please add your own accounts and experiences or simply trash my great accomplishment.. I will feel no less proud =P

The screeny is on my website...

Has anyone broken 40 in a battlemode with the bots?

Cool website, btw. Love the screenshots.
