After having played our weekly deathmatches in Terra Nova for more than 8 months, it’s time to summarize which maps the clan enjoyed more. Not all matches were well documented, but 90% of them were. So, this is the chart for 45 games played, and the winner is … Tijuana, with a total of 16 games!

Nobody exactly knows what happened at Greenhill Lake on Thursday, but sure it’s the most bloodcurdling event in the history of the county.
Nine men have lost their lives in the carnage, while the police is still searching for a missing one. Friends of the victims report that the group went to the lake for a hunting trip, as they were used to do on every Thursday since long time. Nobody could have expected such a tragic end.

The Police is at work at the crime scene collecting traces and clues that might explain what happened. For what transpires until now, it seems that –probably under the effects of rivers of Whiskey– a discussion among the ten friends had degenerated into insults. Someone said “Lame!”, someone else replied in the same tone, another one (probably the one known as Jippi), extracted his knife and started aiming at the pardners. In a flash, all the men pointed their Winchesters one against each other and after few minutes of hell, a deadly silence retook possession of Greenhill Lake again.

The scene that appears to our eyes is disheartening. Corpses lying on the ground here and there, under the trees, over the turret, inside, around, and even over the roof of the house. But the most striking thing of all is the colour of the lake: red! Red of blood.

🙂 Hehe, just to say: it’s Thursday! Propose your map/server/game here.

Hi mates, tomorrow is Thursday again. What do you think of a Winchester-only hunting in the woods of Lake? As ZaPaTa says “winnie” has a great sound! And Lake has lot of money points, so also when you respawn with only $20.00 you have an opportunity to find $5.00 and buy a Winchester 1866. I think it could be fun.

Every other weapon should be forbidden, knives included. To make things easier, it could be a TDM, so your pardners can protect you until you find some dollars. And since in Terra Nova there is no red cross, we can choose to wear different models, Union soldiers against Indians.

Would you want to try for one game?

OK, meet there at 21:00 (22:00 for Israel and Finland, I suppose).

Tonight, our weekly Clan Deathmatch.

I had no time to draw something new, but I don’t want to betray the tradition of posting something visual.
So here are three glorious b/w Italian advertising from the ’60s, all set in an imaginary West (from Montana to Mexico). In my country, a whole generation of children had its evenings brightened by these shorts.

1– “Gringo” (1966 – 1972), for canned meat Montana, by Gamma Film. Stopmotion series of duels between Gringo and Black Jack, in the style of the best Spaghetti Western, with fun puns (in rhyme!) and nice titles.

2– “Carmencita” (1966 – 1973), for Paulista coffee, by Armando Testa. The famous graphic designer plays with cone-shaped characters in a series where a gunslinger has to search for his ever missing Carmencita.

3– “El Merendero” (1967), for Talmone chocolate, by Paul Campani. A series by a cartoonist, with 3 Mexican guitarists announcing to children the arrival of Merendero (the man of the candies).

Tomorrow we’ll have our weekly Clan Deathmatch. Everyone is well welcomed!
