Winning masters will be tough against the likes of fox and k1llsen, but gl to ya!

With all respect to k1llsen, he's not fox's caliber.

dm6 maybe :P

whatever caliber he is, we'll see in about 3 months! :)

I agree, but judging out of the list of applicants: fox(clearly #1)/k1llsen/noctis/jibo are the best applicants on the list, it will be tough to judge how well the north american competitors do against them...my guess is fox wins by a good margin :P

do you watch q3 demos on a regular basis?

No, I'm judging k1ller by the performances that I have seen "live." I guess we will see whose judgment is more off.

he gave fox a pretty hard time @ CPL Italy, didn't he?
he stepped up the ladder and i think he definitely has the ability to beat him.
but, ye ... we'll see about that. :)

He actually should had won. His mind was shut down for some minutes there. I remember his blatantly wrong choices made an impression to everyone watching and especially if you had seen his previous games. One of the biggest chokes I ever witnessed.

yeah, that was really sad. especially after he endured that thriller vs. Jibo.

hmm.. check cpl italy results fox and k1llsen in final, k1llsen beat players like jibo etc :)

he was almost on cpl italy ..and i think i got much better

aww we miss you carmac :(

hehe sits like cooller/jibo and uses their binds too

Best way to sit :o

Word.

"The player's parents are divorced, rapha stayed mostly with his mother and did not have an internet connection to play from. He played as much Quake 3 as he could from his dad's place, but it came to an end when his father moved away."

umm, didn't rapha's dad die? uh, yeah, anyway.

I don't see rapha as a favorite to win ESWC, and, in my mind, I think he'll have a tough game against chance and/or dkt in the qualifier, too.

yes he is dead, carmac just didn't know about it. Just never
mentioned it to him, it seemed irrelevant to the questions.

He would be proud as# ### of you now. You can be sure of that :)

Go Rapha Go!

I hope to see him at Quakecon and say hello to him =D

any demos somewhere of him playing some good opponent (aka demos from the usa eswc quali or vs random good players) I'd like to see this skill he claims to have about reading / adapting to the opponent.

rapha wont be releasing his qualifier demos until the event is over

how convenient!

people always go on about e-sports this and that but one of my big sticking points in every online tournament is that people won't release recordings--sometimes ever. guess what: in real sports, if you bust out a strategy, it's beamed around the world the moment you do it.

there is nothing new under the sun--it's all about execution. and the players are not doing themselves a favor by keeping their talent hidden behind some iron curtain.

start exchanging demos and you'll see more and better coverage out of every tournament. hide them--or lose them in the case of what happened to Stayne's House of Demos (SHOD)--and you keep e-sports and competitive gaming in the basement below mainstream gaming that much longer.

agreed, always found the "no demo" shit laughable and will only hurt the already crippled quake community. It wont give them any advantage like they think either, it's just dumb.

but I still love rapha! :)

I will be releasing the demos after the tourney, wont be an
oops I lost them. The only way that could happen is if my
hardrive dies. Unfortunately that might happen though :(. If it
doesn't then the demos will be released just as I promised.

even as lame as i am, i always release my demos to everyone (even when they are picked apart by hundreds) and i would have if i were going to eswc. i think it is childish and questionable otherwise, and not only due to the facts mentioned above. it only makes things more negative overall to q3 and to the community

Sir I'm afraid we are currently running through a major lack of care about your case. Please come back later.

has nothing to do with me but rather rapha's demos, trollkid

I was curious as to how to make my game look more legit using my aimbot and wh. Your demos really helped me make adjustments to my game, not nearly as many people have been calling me cheater now, and I have been getting more and more praise from people whom I've convinced. Thanks for releasing your demos walter, you've really helped me out.

PS- since im so good at movement already this has also helped convince people I am legit.

esr exclusive

No more care I told you.

"even as lame as i am" That made me laugh :D

:P

+ him just for admitting he's lame LOL jk :D

it only makes things more negative overall to q3 and to the community

Funny, considering you claim you'd smash anyone but in the end just forfeited when it counted.

Why even question it... if he chooses to not release his demos until after the event thats his right. Its not negative or bullshit or anything else... it just is, so don't whine.

Its called a tactic and if that helps rapha win.. I'm all for it.

the event shouldbloody have gtv! then this argument wouldn't matter

Blame the rules of the tournament.

I think this should be entirely the players decision. It is MVD times now so their opponent is free to release it anyways.

mvd is specs only

oops my bad

Totally going to respond to an 8-year old post, because, why not? :)

Anyways, in my defense, I only 'lost' them because I didn't think I'd need to hold on to them anymore after uploading the entire archive to ESR and Challenge-World. Thought they'd live on in those two places and be safe. Not sure what got dropped and when, but yeah, I was sad when people came to me asking if I still had various parts of the collection on archive.

Oh well. :) That was, like... 16+ years ago now.

respect for the reply and the attempt to save the demos. even if im 4 years late lol

Oh what a winner he is....gay

Shows how new he is. A good player will give you any information you ask for and still kick your ass.

I wonder how that fits in with his biggest strenght...

if rapha feels more confident with other players not knowing what he does in particular situations and or how he moves, he has the right to not showcase his shit.

uhm, he is saying that his strength is to constantly adapt to his opponent and is several steps ahead of them.
So why would it matter if they know what he did in some demo?
He should know that they know and adapt accordingly...

A professional player should always do whatever it takes to win, without taking any risks. If it means he doesn't want to give interviews 2 hours before a final, if it means he doesn't want to have sex with his girlfriend for two weeks before the event or if it means that he doesn't want his opponents to study his gameplay, he has the right to do it.

We may not like it, but he's not breaking any rules anywhere. It would be a different case if the ESWC rules said you had to post demos.

Yeah, I heard griffin took this advice against naymlis on phrantic.

I don't think you got my point.
of course it's his right to do whatever he wants as long as the rules allow it. And I'm not even wanting to complain about him not releasing his demos, since as you said it's his own choice.

However, my point is, that if what he claims is true, that he is up to five steps ahead of his opponent he has no reason AT ALL to keep the demos to himself.
Because it simply should not matter if someone sees a demo from him and tries to adapt to rapha himself. Cause rapha should still be able to get in his head.

Oh. You're being a smartass. You should have just said so to begin with.

he's right, isn't he?

sunday 19:00

Sunday 19:00 CET

money, thx

oh come on. By now i should have a certain reputation on this site...

2ez4zik

edit: esr'd

he was just telling the truth as he saw it. If you really are that far ahead, no reason to hide anything because you WILL NOT play that way the next time.
"
Infact, if you're really 5 steps ahead all the time...you WANT people to see your demos from recently, so that you can play off of what they think your current meta is...

I think he proved that shit!

Course you were/are/can be when asked also :)

ok, so who is rapha? i haven't kept up much with the quake/gaming scene in general for the longest time. has he always gone by rapha, does he or did he go by another name? it seems like i come on here and he comes out of no where? ..i wouldn't know though since i haven't kept up with any of this stuff.

..just curious, so can someone inform me? thnx. heh

he used to go by the name "scar" he changed his name to "rapha" around a year ago (or more)

Good Luck Rapha !

-pezcore

i have to say lame and i think that u have zero chances at eswc - take it eeeezee

I am afraid you are wrong sir, if he does not give in to the pressure of playing in a big lan etc he is solid enough to give any top class dueler a tough time.

if he does not give in to the pressure of playing in a big lan

unfortunately that's more than half the battle at something like ESWC. when everyone's playing top class quake, nerves play a huge role.

he's a fantastic player no doubt but i really don't think he'll be able to beat the likes of cooller, fox etc. however, the best to him and if he does do some damage, it will be a pleasant surprise.

we will c :)

Rapha is a great guy, and from the many times i've seen him play, he is really smart and incorporates stuff that others dont do. great player, and i'll be rooting for him

go rapha!

So he says hes the outsmarting "5 steps ahead" king, but wont provide demos till the qualifier ends. Huge LOL tbh. Security through obscurity is known to be the prefered weapon of not so clever people.

"Security through obscurity is known to be the prefered weapon of not so clever people. "

So thats why ur so weird?

No as weird as people replying posts that are 8 years old LOL.

Everybody knows the REAL secret to his success is uNkind/Russian style of keeping his keyboard on his lap.

Overrated style ;(

Best style, simply superior

how so?

you're stupid

was an honest inquiry. You being a stupid faggot that plays quake ONCE in a while mostly just to troll and only after you've finally wasted most of your miserable hours on this site or in irc however, and this giving you some false-sense of eliteness that ur 2kewl, i would expect that big-man attitude from you. Kid i keep telling you just go get off on your walter posters to let those emotions out, maybe then the blood will go back to your fuckin brain and you can at least think semi-coherently again, no matter how small BOTH your fuckin brains might actually be. It would still help a little bit (ic where the small-man complex is coming from)

Saves space, it's comfortable and compared to most peoples desk setups it will lessen the risk of RSI.

Just so you know, I play a lot of Q3 when I get the chance.

PHEER his RAIL cause he's SOLID and not ALIASED!11!!

lol, the best zero4 joke evah !

rapha vs cooller .. wouldnt that be something.

would just look like every other russian game :P

naw , rapha vs cooller tunred out to be sick matches for the ages.

this is like all those bs female gamer interviews BLBABLLA BLABLAB LAB LABL ABL LAL LALLBALB and no demos

WALTER GO RAPE HIM

lmao

damn first i thought i was wrong but then i remembered what a beast walter was when he was not having a mental breakdown

i'm sure walter > anyone still

U seem like an easily impressionable guy

you seem like(not slighting you) an up and coming Jamerio, but not quite as Sticking it too people :D

and you seem like and up and coming Dird/Skint, spends half his life on this website and posts stuff that nobody ever replies to/reads

not true, wem is rulez

Can confirm, while dizzle/drizzle/fizzle are novelty accounts, wem420 is genuinely insane.

Not only is he borderline lunatic he also smashed multiple IE 3.0s on his forhead and he racked up 22990 judgements in the past year alone.

That's nearly 23.000 pluses, do the math.
If this isn't impressive then I don't know what it is.


wem is rulez.

Gotta agree with teen queen

Gotta agree with teen queenalso you can add a razor abyssus, and some other pro mouse az well. Urrently my kinzu left click doesnt work but...nit cause i abused :)))))

Wem Is Improve!!!

I'll respect you when you successfully do it with a deathadder.












Just kidding, don't do it.

Also a couple were 1.1's. gotta get that refference wrong to confuse the brain muscles, right babe??!

I was being hinest not ry sligh u matterd. And you responded'd quite often...soooo... Id say i Do get replies..from nobodys :)))))))))
















Tldr matterd nobody replies. :DDD

Who replied to who first, in this thread? You did, to me :)

I dont have anything against you, I always sympathize with the outcasts, misfits and weirdos. However, what you are currently experiencing is that people are encouraging to keep going on with your insanity (see: teenqueens reply about you in this thread). And it seems like you are enjoying this even tho they are patronizing you in reality.

Anyway, you are a weirdo but your emotional responses are quite normative and pathetic, so Im kinda disapointed in you.

Heres what I posted "you seem like(not slighting you) an up and coming Jamerio, but not quite as Sticking it too people :D"

I think Jamerio is EXTREMELY well spoken, butt too....detached from any real emotions unless raged. He tries to 'stick it so hard' to people....I just said that I think you aren't as vindictive as him.

Was trying to say i like what you're doing, because it's slightly less trying to bring people down on a personal level.


Guess you proved me wrong, 100%.

Trolls cant even take a compliment?

Ok, then I gotta apologize for insulting you :p I skimmed through your comment and when I saw the comparsion to Jameiro, I ignored the rest and kinda lost my head. I really don't like that guy, and yes, obviously its probably because he exhibts personality traits that remind me of my own weaknesses.

Usually I'm trying to as rational as I can, but as soon as Im pissed off at somebody my defensive mechanisms kick in and I get back at him (Unfortunately this time it was triggered by an misunderstanding).

To be fair, I had my stint of raging in videogames too, I used to escape from reality with weed too, so I'm sorry for the patronizing before, because, as you can see, theres no ground for that.

This may be my last post ever as I'm deeply ashamed of how i've acted in the past as well. I am NOT looking for responses, just parting in the only way I know how.

Having a response like that, from someone I've blown up at multiple times for no reason, is meaningful to me. I belive this is as good a time to step back and reflect as any.

I came to this site looking for a community that loved and helped. Then as i stated, I gave into being a peice of shit, with no excuse except weakness when bullied/trolled.

Thank you for actually reading what I posted, and then showing perfect example of what you can be; an individual with very nicely written and thought out responses, full of understanding. I'll try to remember this site that way.

I also Apologise to EVERYONE else.

And give thanks to the few that helped talk me through my hard mental times/suicide thoughts instead of bashing me.... Mainly BAKSTEEN!!! I still have our chat logs saved buddy, sorry for soiling your good name with my idiocy. Hope you've found your path in life you were looking for!

Please, anyone, don't go down a Trolling type of path to help fill voids in your own life. It's a mistake, PLAIN AND SIMPLE!

I wish you all the best, may quake live on and become big again someday...See you all at that that Big Quake Lan in the Sky....Love ya....Peace.

Come on man, you have a wrong self-image You were always quite nice and polite (compared to the relative toxicity of regular users).

Im glad you choose to remember the good aspects of ESR (Quake talks, Baksteen beating Cypher in Faceit, Baksteen pulling grenade tricks) :D

You really deserve to grant yourself more confidence and enjoy whatever you will choose to do with your future. And in case you are really gone from ESR, you will be remembered as a friendly, enthusiastic and all around good guy, who was special (in a good way). Just give us (or me :P) a sign of life once in a while :D

Take care m8, it has been nice to meet you :)

Anyone know if wem420 is alright?

Yea I talk to him on steam a lot. Hes turned out to be a great friend. Shame he left ESR tho.

Thats good to hear. I always windered what hes up to these days

Really good to hear.

I bluffed, for some reason I thought you are him. I kinda tried to bait u into admitting it. Sorry,. I miss the fella too!

But I don't have you on steam?

Yea, I thought that blatant bluff would confuse you so much that you would give away that ur in fact wem420. I didnt really think too much about this, now it seems like a shitty plan xD

stay focused - you are blessed ;)

Good Luck rapha :)

For once not an arrogant, full-of-himself prick, but a modest player who's eagering to play the game he loves at a higher stage.
It's a joy to watch him play, I really hope he qualifies & does well on ESWC. gl dude!

Are you serious?

The guy's claiming one of his his biggest strengths is being 2-3-4 sometimes 5 steps ahead of his opponent when he's not even played at a big tourney vs big players and placed well and talking about winning?

He's either....

A) Playing shit people (Shit as in having no chance at a big event)
B) Talking shit.
C) Or me being wrong.

I got a 1000 dollars says its A+B and feel free to bitch at waht what I said, I'll be happy to come back and paste the results of this player.

TBH I only ever rated socrates, czm and Zero 4 as modern day (US) players who could place well at a big event.

I seriously doubt he's talking about any of them, so his statement must be based on playing 16th-24th material which is great, but it won't cut the mustard agaisnt anyone of the good players at ESWC.

Almost all of the new talent in the US were simply loser bracket material when the top players cared.
All of a sudden they go into retirement and it creates a false notion of top talent.

Just wait and see.

I somewhat agree.

agree. :(

could you maybe make a second account for posts like this?

would make it less painfull to plus :P

Yes, I'm serious, I honestly believe he can compete with the top euros, if he can play at his best. From what I've seen Rapha could do well at a big event. What makes you so sure that he can't?
And I don't blame him for that quote; it's not his fault he never played a big tournament/better players (socr/z4/czm), so he can only talk about the players he DID play. I'm quite sure he knows that it doesn't count for the eswc favorites.
And tbh, I don't know who you mean by 'the new talent in the US', I only see Rapha as fairly new to the scene.

and I don't agree.

The fact the top players of 2004 all left quake 3 doesnt make it impossible for new comers, FOUR YEARS OF PLAYING later, to get to that top level.

Get out of your fantasy that is "was better before."

Will you finally fucking quit ESR if he makes, say... top 6 at ESWC or ESWC Masters?

*GARPY*GARPY*GARPY*GARPY*

Oh, and rapha wears white socks!

:<

I'd totally forgot about that garpy thing :o

ps. I wore white socks yesterday, Jamerio I am sorry

What when my insightful and correct prediction that garpy would not place top 12 in any major Q4 tourney over a 12 month period and I was proved right?

The best he achieved was 9-12th, and even if people are stupid and biased (which is pretty common:P), anyone knows that 12 players do not go into 9 spots without a decimal point.
So I was well within my right to say he did not get top 9, because there was a > chance of him being 10th 11th 12th than 9th. So I have no shame, I never go back on a bet.

I still stand by my white sock theory, its one of those things which causes alarm because the condition is rife among these demographics I can only warn people.

I got nothing agaist Garpy or Rapha BTW:)

But you got something against white socks, and that is unacceptable.

I didn't think Garpy would either but he did finish 9-12th :P should have been more careful :)

I don't wear white socks but I don't care if people do or don't. Does it really matter?

garpy finished top8 at wsvg louisville after beating cooller

Yes because half the top q4 duellers were at a different event so it does not count. A big event is one where all the best q4 players are slugging it out under the same roof and was one of the conditions when I made my original claim.

Do some research on who was at that event and you'll see a lot of players were else where due to over lapping events which is the only reason he placed 8th.

"which is the only reason he placed 8th. "

All good and well but the "after beating cooller" part kinda makes your claim of it being the only reason kinda... invalidated?

wrong, you mixed it up with another event. all good player were at wsvg louisville, see the top8:

1. Poland Maciej "av3k" Krzykowski - $5,250
2. Sweden Johan "toxic" Quick - $3,000
3. Belarus Alexey "Cypher" Yanusheuski - $2,100
4. United States Chance "chance" Lacina - $1,200
5. United States Tim "DaHanG" Fogarty - $1,200
6. Russia Anton "Cooller" Singov - $750
7. Sweden Magnus "fojji" Olsson - $750
8. United Kingdom Gareth "GaRpY" Marshall - $750

Oh yes that was a dif one.

Right and you really think the fact that...

Fatal1ty?
FooKi?
TooGood?
Winz?
Socrates?
Ztrider?
Stermy?

Missing from the event/scene had no effect on the results, given they were in my original list of power players-and were not replaced?

Sorry, but it has to scale accordingly, scraping 8th place with 8 players who can make top 10 with their eyes closed is hardly something to be ignored.

I'm not saying Garpy is not a good player, but with a full attendance, he would not have placed that well and obviously that would have resulted in me using a lower rank. Closer to 5th.

I also said before the event the position his expected position is being lowered due to lower amount of top finishers in attendance.

You can even search ESR at that time and find my post. it's all there.

Sorry.

You still did not answer the question.

10 years later..

Could ave' him!

Surely not in QL duel. )

bump.

he's just confident without going "Yeah, i'll just go and beat everyone" or "Everyone in the NA scene hacks". Sound familiar?

Im totally on your side.....

sure you are, because you are a noob and a fag :D

"and it creates a false notion of top talent."

You're thinking of xerp. Xerp has a lot of people thinking they're "top talent".

Just wait and see, uh?

"I got a 1000 dollars says its A+B and feel free to bitch at waht what I said, I'll be happy to come back and paste the results of this player.

TBH I only ever rated socrates, czm and Zero 4 as modern day (US) players who could place well at a big event."

Becks should be by shortly to explain how all of the pluses on this post have nothing to do with a strong ESR bias against North America. And probably some butthurt whine over Rapha winning everything for a good while now aside from a loss to DaHang.

Wow, Jamerio got plussed hardcore.

ouch.

C)


:>

Btw what's the interest on $1000 in 8 years?


)

probably less than inflation

Just give me $$$.

Happy to admit I was wrong about Rapha (what can I say he's special), recently someone (http://esreality.com/post/2846667/re-why-donald-trump/#pid2846667) reminded me of this, I didn't make the bet to anyone specific, but I always pay up.

So I have donated 1000 dollars and given it to Garpy, I meant Liberian dollars though so I donated it to Garpy via his twitch tv account and took care of the processing fee's too as I don't want to be accused of being tight :]




Enjoy it Garpy <3 & well done Rapha. Two good guys.

Apparently bet was with Dem0n so I paid him too, Garpy can keep it as a trolling bonus :)

http://esreality.com/post/2846681/re-rapha-bl...pid2846681

And who would fall into the first category u described? Just curious.

the contrast with his teammate seems quite big I'd reckon

"If ZeRo4 and I play in the finals.."

totally possible.

ok

hahah true

"I'd say giving head to my opponent," rapha describes his biggest strengths.

Wow, selfownage is strong in this one.

So salty.

jah blessed him

man, even rapha? The world hates americans don't they. Can't really blame em.

"In the other half of the bracket, there is Daniel "Carnage" Sturdivant, known for frying his laptop with his urine"

I don't know why all the hating... Rapha's a good guy, and he put up a good fight at last years Quakecon.

Out of interest, where did he place at the last Qcon?

tbh I don't remember, i think I remember it was Chance Lacina that knocked him out of his bracket.

SUSPECTED FAILURE

Only years late, fazz would become raphas biggest fan and bootlicker :D

This didn't age very well :)

+'ing in a classic thread.

THIS IS THE WORST BULLSHIT IVE EVER READ!
STOP THIS PLZ!!!!



BUT I WOULD LOVE TOO SEE U PLAYING IN THE SWEDISH ESWC QUALIFIER INSTEAD TO GET SOME REAL OPPONENTS!!!!!!!
AND IF "My advantage is being able to be not just one but at times three, four, sometimes even five steps ahead of what they're going to do." IS TRUE! YOU ARE GOING TO WIN EVERYTHING

Caps Lock. Unleash the fury.

You released the fucking fury!

Being able to think ahead for what your opponent does isn't the most important aspect of quake imo...When it comes down to the fights, it's who is able to position themselves better and who has the better fragging abilility...Prediction shots and well placed spam are good and all, but when it comes down to it: It's who hits the shots when it matters, ie CZM winning so much...sure his gameplay is smart but beating his rail is very tough even if you are out thinking him...

Comes down to who is xerpin or not.

true true, highest pinger + xerp = winner

I suppose it was true mate :)

a1r-r41d is a real opponent! o wait :(

I looked at almost all of the new usa demo's, it's no where near the standard of play of years ago(02-05). I don't know whats going on in the EU, but even in russia things seemed to have died a bit down also. Are the EU guys, fox, fooki and co on the standard they where, or are they still getting there?
And where is Cooller!?!??!

He's probably one of the most motivated players going to ESWC. Which is going to help him a ton.

yes practise is win

(c) Fatal1ty

hrhrhrhr

Boy. That Rapha nub sure should feel foolish about all his blabbing with this "five steps ahead" nonsense.
It's a shame that didn't work out for him. Good thing Jamerio called it.

Was there really any doubt?!?!!!11

HAHAHA JAMERIO THAT FUCKER WAS SO WRONG, LOVE IT.

LOVE IT.

YOU ARE STUPID CUNT.

plus a handfull of others, that shall go unnamed for their own protection.

I say fuck 'em all! I never doubted rapha back in 2008.

This thread is such gold now. So much disbelievers on rapha, can't say I blame them, noone could have foreseen how much of an awesome force he became :)

surprised this thread didnt fill with alot of edit "." yet!

Glad I was amongst the ones who believed and clearly disagreed with Jamerio's bullshit 1000$ bet on rapha's eventual failure.

I hereby claim my money to Jamerio. With 8 years worth of interest.

ouch gg

I would be surprised and disappointed if he didn't pay up tbh, as he usually honors such bets.

add inflation as well. At least 10% more (for increasing the prize pool of the Jamerio sponsored $1100+ cup)

Jamerio on the other hand did not deny the holocaust (afaik), so it is 1-1 in false beliefs now.

I don't know wether Jamerio denied the 'holocaust' or not, I know I didn't though.

you want some too huh?

I did not specify USD dollars and I meant liberian dollars as ever since seeing the lock stock and two smoking barrels he goes "not when you got Liberia's deficit in your sky rocket, then I researched Liberia and got into Liberian currency art work and its always been with me, so pm me your paypal and we'll get this bad boy sorted.

1000 Liberian dollars plus 10 percent coming your way as soon as you pm me your details.

such a pussy

Now now, I paid up. Even added the 8 years of inflation you requested.

http://esreality.com/post/2846677/re-why-donald-trump/#pid2846677

In fact, I will have paid up double what I said, I mean, if you can find the bit on ESR where I specified USD and get back to us with a link, I would be happy to honor it.

If you went to the bank right now and said I would like to buy 1000 dollars, the next question would be.

1000 dollars in which currency sir or thereabouts. True story.

You're just salty cos you thought the best outcome was I would lose 1000 USD or make me look like someone who does not pay up a bet.

Well it's better than nothing. Thanks for paying up on your bet Jamerio, you truly are a decent person.

now you have enough monies to upgrade to an amd cpu!!!!!!

That ain't decent.

I already did that.

Rapha has a cracking looking cat
