Well I have to call a spade a spade – I keep forgetting rules and tactics (that I probably had poor tactics to begin with as well) but it makes no sense
I might add I have played “The Game” since 1983 – I don’t want a break – it is my only outlet in life! (No other hobbies that I can do with a time poor life)
It’s got so bad – I look up rules all the time but next week I am looking at the same rule :readit: – I play PBEM so it is easy for me but gee – why won’t it stick
It’s got so bad – a great and wise long term player has got frustrated with me! – Badly frustrated
He was not the first – I had lost others in the past for the same reason but it has got worse …
But it does not make sense ...
I am a Physician – I remember and do heaps mentally every day – things stick in my brain that others can’t retain – 30+ years means I make a difference (thanks to God) at work where juniors miss diseases and forget how to treat! and make patients worse.....
But this ASL rule book won’t stick – I have the same problem with bible verses but they are written in a spiritual way and many books explain them so they will stick eventually with repetition (or maybe not)
I even, on recent long service leave of 3 months, devoted myself to read the ASLRB, read every article I could find (MMP and TPP) so that I would have a better grasp for my opponents! But alas no Joy – nothing seems to have stuck.
I do a lot of cognition work in my job – we use a memory test called a MOCA and we literally take away capacity with this test in dementia patients for their safety.
If I invented a MOCA on ASL – I would be sent to the ASL nursing home :facepalm:
Life has dipped in recent times – teenage children, rescue dog!, midlife crisis for both myself and wife! And a workplace of managers that bully more and more “blood from the stone”
I am not surprised - all of us are facing tough times thanks to our "Modern World" so I think all of us share this common fate now
But I have had heavy times in past and came out the other end and will do the same here but why is there no space in my brain for this document.
It’s no bigger than the books I have even written or the lectures I have given
I pride myself that I can connect your and old doctors to new medical concepts – It’s a skill I have but that skill does not work here for some strange reason
So, before I am relegated to the ASL nursing home – does anyone have any ideas?
Yours (while I remember you)

PS I would like to thanks those at Gamesquad for 13 years of a fantastic place to share questions, thoughts and projects and to find answers to Life (including ASL)
