New Zealand’s Ruru, or the Morepork if you prefer, has really caused a stir in its first go-round. In the largest win of this year’s games, it more than doubled the score of its competition, the Spotted Eagle Owl, and also earned the highest score of any owl thus far! This quirky little wide-eyed hawk owl not only captured the spirit of our resident Discworld fans (the twin cities of Ankh-Morepork are central to many stories), but also picked up many new fans with its bold and expressive looks. If anyone looks like they could shake up this tournament from going to the same final 4 contestants this year, it is Ruru!

Today’s game is some more Halo PvP. We did a match on Capture the Flag and it was awesome. We usually only have 5 players, but we decided to do CTF and offset it by putting two of our skilled players together (Me and Another player), then one skilled player and some of the more beginner players together. It surprisingly was really well balanced. We were in a stalemate for half the game, and even after my team scored we still only won by one point.
