Most played scenarios in 2005 - ROAR report.

[Glennbo]

Because it is so much bloody fun to "post whip" each other around here.

No problem. I get too serious when I post sober. That's not the case now. So I'll mention that, at one point, the Tournament Director came over after I had just rolled the dice, reached into my dice cup, and turned one over so that a 1 became a 6. Now, his claim of "That's what it should have been" rang hollow in my ears until I realized that he was probably right, and that the ever-elusive "play balance" had been restored. However, when he shoved me off of my chair, and actually began playing the game for me...well, I slunk away to the restroom and cried silently in a filthy stall. I assume this has happened to each of us, so you all know how I felt at that moment, and you would've done the same thing. After pulling myself together, I decided to act like a man, and so I shuffled back into the tournament hall to reassure the Tournament Director that I was grateful for his imput. But upon noticing the bright red slapmarks on my opponent's face (which I later learned he'd recieved for objecting to my departure) I thought it best to go back to my room and write a long letter to the Tournament Director gushing with gratitude for him deigning to interact with me on such a personal level. I'm sure I acted correctly, and look forward to my next tournament now that I know how to act properly. :crosseye: :cheeky:

So, that was _you_ at the CASLO eh? :devil:

It took me three or four good whacks until we got your buddy sorted out. Oh, and next time you send a letter of "thanks and gratitude" to the TD for the "fair and unbiased" manner in which we treat you the tournament participant, please check your spelling.

One spells "appreciation" with four $100 bills.

:whist:

Can I just give you twenty $100 bills (American currency of course) for the "Lifetime Mentoring Membership"? :OHNO:

Mark, related to our recent discussion regarding playing fields, armadillos and "football", you wrote,

I don't know if you even realize how goofy this sounds. Superior players are supposed to crush lesser players. That is the whole concept of a competition. You are suggesting that good soccer teams be forced to play with armadillos strapped to their backs when they play poorer soccer teams. You think that creates a "fair and level field."

Well, you have it wrong. One creates a fair playing field by creating a game (or scenario) in which both sides, if equally skilled, would have an equal chance to win. Then, the person who plays better actually will win. That is the notion of competition.

Apparently, this past weekend Burton Albion (fielding a team that included a physiotherapist, a builder and a sports shop assitant) played Manchester United to a 0-0 draw in the third round of the FA Cup.

According to those knowledgeable in the area of English Football, this is a nearly unheard of result.

And in other Football news, in the Scottish League, Clyde upset Celtic 2-1, thus knocking Celtic out of the "Scottish Cup".

Seems Clyde was considered to be a wee bit of an underdog in that match.

Now, all that is fine and exciting but the real eyegrabbers were the pictures accompanying the article.

A veritable herd of armadillos strapped to the MU and Celtic players backs!

Great bloody fierce bast*rds with blazing red eyes and savage yellow fangs!!!

Scores of the beggars and they looked hungry too!!

I read that MU player Cristiano Ronaldo lost part of an ear to one of the devils!

However, it was all for a good game though, so I suppose that makes it all right.
