Back to the Splash-o-Matic, the weapon I was most comfortable with for a long time. Let's see what I can do with its straight firing line and Suction Bomb Rush.
And immediately I find a squid on the other team who is better with it than me. I try to remedy ...

Saturday, April 23rd, 2016
I seem to be inking turf effectively, but not splatting the opposition to keep them away from our inked turf. But on reflection, it seems more like I am having a poor time keeping a suitable range.
The Custom Dual Squelcher can engage the opposition squids at quite a long range, ...

Hey, look: it's Eddie! No hard feelings from the last time I spotted him, I hope. We're on the same team this time, at least. Not that it seems to help. The other squids take control of the Splat Zones and use their range to keep hold of them.

I'm sure my squidmates are doing something, I just don't really know what.
Mind you, a pattern throughout the evening on Camp Triggerfish Splat Zones is seeing one team with the longer-range weapons dominate. As the other map is Mahi-Mahi Resort, it's a tough call what to equip.

Another relaxing game of Turf War to unwind after a string of losses in Rainmaker.
This time, I take my Splatterscope out for a ride on Camp Triggerfish, making use of the long lines-of-sight to ink plenty of turf and splat a handful of squids.

An early lead is demolished quite convincingly in this Rainmaker battle on Camp Triggerfish. Thank goodness for the brave squids who stopped their lightning advance and then sacrificed themselves in the water to reset the Rainmaker.

We get close again, but it's not close enough. How can it be, without actually ...

A pretty good Rainmaker battle for me, particularly using the Splatterscope. We make a couple of good pushes forward, and hold the centre fairly well.
When we have the lead, and the end of the game nears, a squidmate grabs the Rainmaker and heads backwards, no doubt to keep the Rainmaker ...

Okay, I don't make the best of starts, but I try to make amends by cutting off the other team's progress. And, okay, that doesn't go swimmingly either. But at least I'm there and trying. I have no idea where the others are.
Battling in the centre of the map still? ...

Camp Triggerfish isn't the best map for a Tri-slosher, with its long corridors and open spaces, but I still like the bucket for Tower Control. Being able to slosh all over the tower is great, and the grates and netting grant good vantage points. But, as is obvious from the ...

Camp Triggerfish's long, open spaces suit shooters and chargers well, but I still really enjoy throwing buckets of ink around with the Tri-Slosher. I find it suits me well in Tower Control in particular, as there are plenty of vantage spots to rain ink down from above. Running in to ...
