reikja orders new set of dice for Elttil...

reikja, are back online again or not? I heard you were having trouble again with your provider.  Let LA or I know when you are really, really back online and we'll schedule you some games.

BTW, EC's record is now: 3-1-1

NaturalBornKieler beat me 3-1 :-(

Don't sweat it.  Bromios and I will 'pick you up'.  (That's a term from Baseball.  When someone makes an out or a mistake, etc. and the next guy does well on the next At Bat, the first player will say 'Way to pick me up' (i.e. I feel better about messing up last play because you did well.))

Don't want anyone getting the wrong ideas around here.

We are tied up on this one Brom.  Time for some clutch hitting from us on this one.  (I'm in a baseball frame of mind for some reason today.)  

[PaulW]

Speaking of Clutch Hitting, way to go Jo and DQ.  Those last two wins at the end gave us our 3rd win of the season, over Reflection.

Sadly for me I've been moved to pitching this year on my college's team, rather than hitting.  So in case you guys wanted terms that pitchers use... I'll make sure to "slam the door" "seal the deal" and "blow it by them" in this next city league match.

That and I wish all of you American Munchkins a Happy Thanksgiving  
(And I wish you Europeans a happy Thursday... make it great)

You play with the DH rule?  That sucks!

Happy Turkey-Day to all.  I hope to see the European side of EC these next four days. (and to finish up my city league games before the Co-Captain starts to bug me about them)

Match 10: 28 Nov - 04 Dec (played 26 Nov)
CafeInternational
kia of 7Heaven
hosting
SpaceSquirrel of Emerald.City
Executive Summary: SS wins 2-0.

When we found each other online and decided to play right then I went directly to our room, and kia joined me there before I realized 7Heaven was technically the host for the match.  Don't hear me complaining.  I left the choice of bo1 or bo3 up to kia, who chose bo3.

I hadn't played any CI in a week or two and perhaps predictably started off in questionable fashion.  I even commented in our citychat (time stamps are PST = GMT-8):
(11:27:39) SpaceSquirrel: how many times CAN I shoot myself in the foot ...
(11:27:42) SpaceSquirrel: in a single game of CI.
and even felt the need to confirm the end game scoring (-5 for each normal card in hand, -10 for each wild).
With some nuttily lucky draws for the Squirrel, game 1 concluded:
(11:32:18) -- kia reached 99 points, including 109 points for placed guests and 10 points for remaining cards in hand.
(11:32:18) -- SpaceSquirrel reached 110 points, including 110 points for placed guests and 0 points for remaining cards in hand.
(11:32:18) -- Unparalleled, SpaceSquirrel obliterated the opposition with 110 points. (15:51 min.)

In the 2nd game I played much better, and got yet luckier draws resulting in:
(11:50:23) -- kia reached 60 points, including 70 points for placed guests and 10 points for remaining cards in hand.
(11:50:23) -- SpaceSquirrel reached 97 points, including 102 points for placed guests and 5 points for remaining cards in hand.
(11:50:23) -- SpaceSquirrel won extraordinarily with 97 points. (17:29 min.)

I'm not clueless at the game anymore ... but my winning percentage has got to be a 2 or 3 std. deviation phenomenon.

[Lardarse]

I'm never really concerned about where the game is played, just as long as it is played.

Btw, you missed a line out from the city chat:

(19:27:42) SpaceSquirrel: how many times CAN I shoot myself in the foot ...
(19:27:46) SpaceSquirrel: in a single game of CI.
(19:27:56) Lardarse: how many bullets in teh gun? *fg*

Agreed, it's nice to get the resources, but its not the end of the world.

Yep, I lost to Vianne today.  Still bummed.

[Elttil]

Thanks to 2 horrid games of TA, I lost my match to BloodMary of DragonTown.

[Bromios]

(08:59:13) -- Prominently, thb obliterated the opposition with 8 points. (49:27 min.)
(08:59:14) -- The match is over.

Lost to thb 8:2 (bo5)
-first game he rolled 5-5 his first two roles, slotted three slots and hit me twice
-second game he won by 1 pip
-third game i doubled and won by 70 pips
-fourth game was one big race (no one got hit), but because he  is german... the dice favored him
-game five he doubles.. after having a good opening two roles so i accept and redouble (at this point i've got an advanced anchor).  Then he (no joke) roles 5 doubles in a row!  And I see the impending defeat ahead of me.

This just means lady luck will be on my side some other time :-)
