The purple team don't want the Tower in Tower Control (12-4, Tri-slosher)

That's a good-looking purple team. The Kelp Splatterscope will be my target, and I should avoid the N-ZAP. I should probably be wary of the Tri-slosher too, as those guys are nutters. But I aim for the Splatterscope first, helped along nicely by my Gal squidmate, but I think the charger drops from his perch and super-jumps to safety before I get there. Never mind, we're pushing the Tower, and I can help with that.

I said I should watch out for the N-ZAP, and although I turn around because of what looks like sloshing pressure, I get splatted by my nemesis, damn her. I ink a new path on my return, and look for purple shenanigans, moving on to pressure the Splatterscope when all looks okay. He ducks away from my sloshing, his Sprinkler taking the ink instead, before looking for the Tower.

I squid on to the Tower and have two targets below, but they spread out quickly. I think the shooter below will splat me again if I don't pop my Bubbler, which I do, but the purple Tri-slosher does the same. I then make the mistake of pressing an engagement with the N-ZAP, instead of retreating at an impasse. Silly me.

Despite our lead, some fresh splattings, and the Tower neutral in the middle of the Dome, the purple team show no desire to get it moving. Maybe they think this is Splat Zones. If the Tower isn't going anyway, I'll go skirmishing. I squid around the back and catch the Aerospray on the other side of a Killer Wail, before circling back to find the Splatterscope on an alternative perch, before being sloshed myself.

I head back along an indirect route, still feeling no desire to protect an unmoving Tower, catching the Splatterscope in the back, and squidding up the central column at just the right moment to give the purple inklings some negative reinforcement therapy. They have finally got the idea to get on the Tower, and just as they do I splat them off and push it the other way.

I have to hop off the Tower quickly to push the Splatterscope away, and just about get back on to keep it moving. The purple inklings move around to make a dual-pronged attack, but my squidmates are here in support, my Bubbler keeps me safe, and my indiscriminate sloshing splats inklings above and below me, so that we increase our lead.

It almost looks like we can do all the way. There's a pause where I confused a squidmate for a purple inkling, but I get the Tower moving again, until there is just too much happening for my bucket to contend with. With the Tower in the far corner, and the purple team not keen on riding it, I take the long way back, hitting a different flank for the surprise factor.

I look to clear the Tower first, which is done without me, then waste some ink sloshing over the ramp when the Echolocator clearly shows me where the other team is. That's okay, though, as I turn around at the perfect time to wipe out the remaining purple inklings, before hopping on to the Tower to ride it, Bubbler active, to the goal. Woomy!
