Team-Letters Interview
For those who dont know you, or tL, a quick introduction if you would be so kind
tL|Roadkill: Hi, I'm Roadkill a.k.a Phil Rayner, from team.Letters. Been playing 2 years or so mostly as hpb.
Team-Letters have been placed in the highest division that BWCSL has to offer this season. After initially being placed in division 2, how did the clan feel about such an sharp promotion once GLtC dropped out?
tL|Roadkill: Of course we were really happy as it gives us a chance to prove ourselves against some real top UK clans. Also we're trying really hard to become a LAN clan, but previously had problems with ages of members etc.
BWCSL has a reputation for being well organised and a generally steady league to compete in, what do you feel makes it different to other leagues in this respect?
tL|Roadkill: You gotta pay for starters which shows it's above the rest, plus there's a lot of top clans in it. Barrysworld is proper old-school so they know what they're doing.
There have been some interesting roster movements in the top clans recently, several clans recruiting and dropping players. tL have been affected by this with the departure of saber under a particularly dark cloud. How do you think tL will respond to this?
tL|Roadkill: We're already over it and we got Tolon (dan) in whose played with stacey in about 11 clans I think, over 3 years so we have no problems at all.
What are tL's ambitions for this season? Premiership survival, or will you be trying to mix it up and pull off the odd upset?
tL|Roadkill: We're still almost totally unknown as far as the big CS scene goes, so we just want to make some good results against some of these top clans and hopefully earn a bit of recognition, then rip it up at LANs :).
Competitive LAN competitions are a mile away from anything that can be experienced online. Do you think tL have it in them to compete on a LAN and if so, are we going to see a Team-Letters application for UK-Terrorist LAN #4?
tL|Roadkill: It's a definite possible, seeing as we're all 16 and above now.
With your first fixture just 2 days away, a tough start against Last Chance, nerves must be jangling in the camp somewhat. Do you think it is a positive attitude by BWCSL to place clans like tL, TCSUK and Ti- against clans like Last Chance, Barcodes and Imminent in an attempt to upset the established order?
tL|Roadkill: Yes, definitely will give some interesting matches because I doubt they will walk over any of us "new" clans
Ok, well good luck to Team-Letters in the upcoming season and best of luck with your preparations for UKT#4 :)
tL|Roadkill: Thanks.
With BWCSL just a few days away, any clans taking part make sure your subscriptions are up to date and you can login and see Barrysworld Servers. For any problems contact Block or Anders in #bwcsl on Quakenet.

You are the one running your mouth since you clearly don't know what did or didn't happen between me and roadkill so keep it shut until you have something valid to say. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

1. Kick the player - admission of guilt but would show the community they had no knowledge of this and are outraged by it. The clan will probably recover soon.
2. Support the player - This is an attempt to ride the allegations out, this might succeed as long as there's never any definate proof and the advantage is the player will still be in the clan. On the downside however if it is proven that the player did cheat then it drags the whole clan down with him. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

AVI's dont prove much in terms of skill, they are just somthing that can be enjoyable to watch. Sound is so crucial in CS, so it would have been a possible explanation for the tracking that was displayed in the AVI's you sent to RoadKill
Like Myers has said, there are 2 things that the clan can do when allegations such as these come flying out. In this case it was true, but somtimes people can get so bitter that they feel the need to seek some sort of revenge for whatever reason. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Ultimately he was happy to dismiss it in the hope it would all go away and he could continue beating clans with sir-hax-a-lot. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Roadkill no doubt spent alot of time playing with Saber, and perhaps thought that he knew him well enough to dismiss such allegations.
im not making excuses for either party, but your arrogant attitude towards the whole thing aggrovates me.
like i say, AVI's proove very little.
nor have i ever seen a CS avi. with in-game sound on it. i dont know much at all about making avi's from games, but isnt it done using screenshots?
im also sure that Roadkill excused the allegations and left not through embarrasment at the cheating offences caused by his clan mate, but rather to escape your arrogance. why should he have disgussed any of it with you? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
