I’m so glad to be done with that playoff! I think I need a break from Lost Cities for a month, but I’ll be back soon.

Yes indeed, 3ric got a win over Opkppko. Sorry I din’t report – thought it was going to be an Incomplete match, but now that I hear he’s only in for [1]sies, we’s all good.

Don’t forget that the months are only 20 days! :)

Hey, I ruined my perfect month by beating Prolix 2 games to none.

I’ll check back in around then. Thanks!

Man, join the club. I’ve lost 7 out of the last 8.

p.s. Make that 8 out of the last 9. This game is dumb and so is Reiner Knizia’s name.

Mol playoffs are finished and the finals can begin!

I had 4 wins, and both sinnick and prolix had 3 wins, but sinnick’s average point differential (after tossing the high and low) was 33.7 whereas prolix’s was 11.3, so sinnick makes the finals.

Best of 3 like usual, sinnick, or best of FIVE?! I’ll start game 1.

Chen playoffs:

Dave Perkins (63.6%)
sinnick (62.4%)
3ric 3rown (44.3%)
ankamela (39.9%)
opkopk (43.2%)

That’s everyone with 3+ wins. The remaining players had 1 win. Sorry that I can’t easily post screenshots from work! I’ve sent my challenges. Please post results including point differential.

Everyone can feel free to start challenging each other for the new month of Yax! Don’t forget that Dukester is back in and Ephraim is out.

I’ll tell you after game 2!

(Actually, probably best keep it to 3, because having three “months” worth of games going at the same time confuses me. Also my wallet is too small for fifties and my diamond shoes are too tight.)

3ric3rown def. Dave Perkins in the Chen Playoffs, +55. I devised a new strategy: Just play the 7-10’s in 3 or more colors, those that the opponent has already played a coin. (I got a string of pretty ridiculous draws …)

Sinnick and OpkoPK-- The game requests I sent this morning are also for the Chen Playoffs.

opkopk · 2013-10-02T06:21:06.000Z

That sounds like a better strategy of opening with the red 8. Good old red 8. Can never go wrong with the red 8.

I have playoff games going with everyone.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-10-02T06:59:49.000Z

Damn you, three-boy. I am totally stealing your strategy.

Said strategy only works if you first sacrifice an albino mountain goat to the Fire Gods of Mt. Xthulythraxl.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-10-02T08:42:56.000Z

I have an albino ferret. Should I bother?

opkopk · 2013-10-02T11:29:52.000Z

I have a light skinned llama albeit with a few dark spots. I’m willing to kill it anyway just to see if it’ll help.

Dave_Perkins · 2013-10-02T11:52:01.000Z

Thanks, opk!

New month starting in a few minutes…

Dave_Perkins · 2013-10-02T11:58:14.000Z

Yak begins!

opkopk · 2013-10-02T14:56:49.000Z

BTW all - I’m still a [1]. My brain is too feeble to remember which game I’m on if the number is more than 1.
Dave’s just mad he can’t have any of this delicious llama meat and punishing me.

nKoan · 2013-10-02T15:16:57.000Z

Didn’t we already have a month of Yak like 3 months ago? You’re just making this up as you go along, right Dave?

Dave_Perkins · 2013-10-02T15:54:13.000Z

That was Yaxsin! And oops opk. :) (Fixed!)

My GameCenter ID is actually ItsTheDukester — that throws people off, sometimes.
