Ohyeah?! Well, maybe you are right... But I'll do my best to prove you wrong.

Here follows the report for the JJ2WCII match:
VerSus vs. Gurus of proactive Warfare
ChippeBW was supposed to host this clanwar from the beginning, but when I joined the pregame-server, it appeared that R3ptile hadn't managed to get a host, or perhaps that he hadn't informed Chip about the changes in the hosting-schedule (same thing with the match I was supposed to host this weekend, LB vs. DM). Anyways, the game started pretty much on the scheduled time, though Messiah joined the pregame a little too late. When all players, including R3ptile had joined the server, the lineups were as follows:
Round I
[GpW]Urbs, Messiah[GpW] and V!V@ND0[GpW]
CloudVS, Sasik[VS] and Nunez VS
Sooner or later the game started off, today with a host equipped with a stopwatch. No scores came immidiatly. It took until 1:27 (min:sec) 'til the first score was made, for VS, by Sasik. VS didn't manage to seriously alter the game-balance, though, so the game kept going without any scores, a few E-kills but no real chances.
At 3:47 a spambug (no, I won't call it flagbug, that is what happens when you die at base) occured, I was too sloppy to note for whom, but the player rejoined and I counted off again.
Only a few seconds after the game had begun, once again, the next score was done, this time by Nunez. Cloud was ready at GpW's base. and thus managed to get the flag immidiatly after Nunez had scored, so Sasik and Nunez had an easy time defending base the short time needed (already at 4:35 this was scored) for Cloud to run through the level and score and thus making the total score 3-0 for VS.
The game went on smoothly for a while, with one major chance for GpW, through Messiah, to score, where it took about 3 seconds for VS to recapture. At 7:02 Messiah had to rejoin, due to another Spambug (this is a level-bug, according to the players at the time in my server). And not too soon after (7:43) Sasik scored 4-0 for VS, but the game remained relatively stabile, and it took until 9:03 for the next score to come, once again by Sasik. VS defended their base well, and Cloud quickly followed with another score at 09:53, making the total score 6-0. Things were indeed looking dark for the Gurus, that seem to have fallen behind a lot since last season where they managed to get to playoffs.
However, the Gurus are still a good clan, and never give up without a fight. They struggled on bravely and a few minutes later (at 11:00) Messiah made his first score ever in JJ2WC, litting new hope for GpW. Urbs and Messiah managed to keep the upper hand long enough for Vivando to make the score 6-2 at 11:50.
At 12:25 the game had to stop for a while, since Urbs got stuck at start and Nunez had to answer his phone. I counted off and the game was on again for about a minute (actually at 13:05), when Vivando had to answer his phone (keep them turned off (-)(-)(-), or let your parents take the call!

).
Almost
exactly one minute after the game had started off again (14:03) Nunez scored for VS and 16 seconds later R3ptile left the server saying he would be back about 30 minutes later. Four seconds after that, at 16:23, one player from each team got stuck at their starting positions and had to rejoin.
The whole period between 14:03, when Nunez had scored, and 17:03, where he scored again was very hectical but noone managed to get the upper hand and score. As I mentioned, though, Nunez did score at 17:03 making the score 8-2. And at 18:15 Sasik scored another point for VS followed by a counter-strike by Urbs, evening the score out a little to 9-3, at 19:29. And a at 19:36 Messiah completed the score, making it 9-4 at 19:36, whereafter the game was stopped for a few seconds (someone had to brb or something... whatever!

), and the last 20 seconds passed after another count-off.
Top Scorers, round I:
1. Sasik[VS] with 4 scores.
2. Nunez VS with 3 scores.
3. Messiah[GpW] with 2 scores.
3. CloudVS with 2 scores.
4. SuperJazz aka. V!V@ND0[GpW] with 1 score.
4. [GpW]Urbs with 1 score.

Round II
Nunez VS, Sasik[VS] and CloudVS
[GpW]Urbs, SuperJazz[GpW] and Messiah[GpW]
Round II started off in R3ptile's absence a little later than I had hoped, since lots of people had to "go"...
However, I counted off and a fast first score was done, opening the round, by Sasik at 00:35 quickly followed by another score by Cloud, due to a flagbug. The score was counted though, in the name of justice, since Messiah had done the same somewhere in round I.
At 1:39 Urbs got stuck so the game paused, and I suspect that GpW took the opportunity of discussing some tactics, slash giving some orders, because shortly after the game had started again (at 2:02), SuperJazz (yes, he changed nick in the pause

), scored 2-1. Which was quickly followed by a nice comeback for VS, through Sasik, increasing VS's lead to 12-5 in total. Nunez rapidly scored another point at 2:54.
The game stabilized itself for a while and the time passed until 5:10, when Cloud scored 5-1 for VS, thus making the total score 14-5. And once again VS proved their good teamwork by letting another score be made shortly after, this time by Sasik (time: 05:30).
After this followed a short period of more lag than before, where people complained about a few 3hk's et cetera. Luckliy none of those had any particuliar impact on the outcome af the game, since no scores were made, so I stopped the game for a while, to remove som lag by setting a higher process priority for Jazz2.exe, which seemed to have done its job well, becasue after that noone complained about lag again. This, however, made my Cataclysm stopping to work fully, so I had to move away from the base I was spectating from down to a more... not-in-action sort of area, since I seemed to spontaneoulsy attract seekers from the red team.
After the two minutes of pause, I counted off again and 6 seconds later, at 06:50, Nunez scored 7-1 (roundscore), quickly followed by a nice comeback by Messiah making the roundscore 7-2 at 07:29. However, Sasik made a comeback on the comeback(

) at 07:47, regaining the lead by 11 points.
Overall, this period of the game was very hectical and very nice to spectate. There was lots of scores and both teams seemed to play an entertaining, offensive game.
About a minute after Sasik's latest score, at 08:50, Nunez made another one that was quickly followed by a comeback for GpW, by Superjazz, making the roundscore 10-3. However, it took but 1 minute for Sasik to reply at 10:36, and 20 seconds later another score, by Nunez followed making the total score 21-7, in other words a lead by 14 points for VS.
An, under the conditions, long period of pointlessness (never mind correcting me, you know it is possible to say it that way

) followed, until Nunez scored again at 12:42. Superjazz scored at 13:24 and Urbs at 15:02, proving that there still be some strength in the Gurus. Anyways, Sasik quickly replied at 15:20, making the roundscore 14-5.
At 16:00, sharp, R3ptile entered the server to check how much time that was left (the pregame for GpW vs. FoR was already up!) and disappeared again quickly after. At 16:12 Sasik got a Spambug and had to rejoin and shortly after Sasik, the same one(!!), scored 15-5 at 16:40. Nunez quickly scored another point at 17:03, making the score 16-5. But after that something quite, under the circumstances, unexpected happened... GpW made 3 scores in a row, and hadn't the lead been so overwhelming, or the time so short, I would have started to believe GpW were gonna manage to make an amazing comeback and win the game, because it really did look promising when Messiah scored 16-6 at 17:40, Superjazz 16-7 at 18:45 and Messiah (he did well today =O) at 19:12, making the roundscore 16-8 and the total score 25-12. However, GpW ran out of time, and VS managed to regain the upper hand and Sasik completed the, not totally expected, victory at 19:50, making the final roundscore 17-8 and the total score 26-12. (I needen't say that the last 10 seconds passed without any real action, now do I?

)
Top Scorers, round II:
1. Sasik[VS] with 8 scores.
2. Nunez VS with 7 scores.
3. Superjazz[GpW] with 4 scores.
4. Messiah[GpW] with 3 scores.
5. CloudVS with 2 scores.

Closing comments:
Thus ended the JJ2WCII-match between the polish noob-clan VerSus (

) and the oldest, or second oldest, noone really seem to know the truth, clan on jj2 - the Gurus of proactive Warfare. It might appear that this would be the end of an era, but judging from GpW's performaces against FoR later the same evening, the question what clans are the best seems to have to remain unanswered. Good game.
