If you were here you'd know.

I think it's just the games all finishing early: the uncommon format makes for speedy games. I don't think any game went to time.

TC2K: "Yes, you are correct, you should never believe what someone says before they have coffee."

He said lots of nice things while I was playing games with him and so did Eric...and they had a lot of other interesting things to say this morning at my breakfast with the two of them.

(He is a lot taller than I thought...and Eric's voice sounds exactly the same in person as it does on tape)

The Championship game between Cleon and NYYS is going to the wire.

After this week's discovery that a deathwalker has never won an event (actually, more a lack of evidence that they have---I still find it surprising) I took Q9 ourt of my army and replaced him with DW9K and another squad of rats. It played quite nicely, if slowly. 3-1, with the 1 against Cleon and his horde of stingers.

As weird as it sounds first glance, my experience has been that Stingers are good against rat podges. I think it's because they're usually backed up with uniques, and Stingers eat Uniques for breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper.

Well, except Raelin-backed Krav, maybe. Even then, though, the Krav will whiff eventually.

Ask tomcollins2000 about that one. Stupid stingers killed my Q9

I couldn't help noticing that the last six posts were made by penguins with machine guns.

NYYS took the championship game. I didn't see who won Summoner Wars.

I played Pandemic, Rattus and Ascension for the first time.

Any idea how Bengi did? His army is quite similar to one of my top ones in the "Notebook of random ideas" right now.

He's deep in Runewars right now. I think "not well" is a fair summary.
