Rolling 'round the Splat Zones (6-3, Carbon Roller Deco)

26th July 2017 – 7.00 am

I make my normal moves on Moray Towers Splat Zones, with the way looking clear, after securing our Splat Zone, to sneak around the side. There are no chargers, so I ignore the perch to wobble my way up behind a Seeker. I'm spotted, though, which isn't much of a surprise, and we muddle around until we splat each other. So it goes.

I take the cautious route back, getting above our Splat Zone, and actually manage to flick ink down enough to capture it. That's good, because my squidmates have the other Splat Zone capture, so we start our counter running. Nice! I tidy up a bit, and ink some turf just because, before moving on. Back around the side, and a crafty Seeker finds some vengeance, but my own craftiness doesn't work when a Carbon Roller stumbles in to me. It would be him, or the falling brush.

Back along the same route, throwing a Seeker that I have no idea how far it goes. I back off from an Inkstrike, also hearing the Brush apparently approach, and have to retreat a little to keep safe. A super-jumping squidmate looks to sneak under the brush, and I move back to get the splat. No Beakons are placed. Not that type of Brush, I suppose. I can't tell. Our Splat Zone is recaptured, the Inkzooka is avoided, and a Seeker Rush adds some ink and threat as I drop down.

I loiter with intent, looking to keep our Splat Zone safe. It looks pretty safe even without me, so I move on, squidding around the Carbon Roller this time to turn the tables. I get up to the top and roll around, making sure no squids are hiding, destroying a Beakon in the progress. Then flick ink to the Splat Zone below, and we're in control again.

One squidmate pushes further up the Towers aggressively. I follow, but I don't think I'm required, so just take care of the surrounding turf for now. I think I do okay, until my inking takes me away from a safe-looking Splat Zone that gets recaptured under my nose. And whilst our own Splat Zone is captured! Damn, my negligence has given us a massive buffer.

I move back to help recover the yellow Splat Zone, which I do with the helps of a squidmate, our other squidmates recapturing our own Splat Zone. We won't get the knockout victory, but we should win the battle.

With thirty seconds to go, I go through our Splat Zone and towards the yellow one, getting a fun Seeker splat on my way. A flick here and there, and we have control of both Splat Zones as the clock runs out, allowing me a couple of seconds for a little victory dance. Woomy!
