I’m not sure how this happened. Suddenly I was just at single digit authority and you were basically untouched. I think there may have been some sort of mind control involved.

Count me in for Star Realms for next month. And put Mithrophon in, too.
(I’m “Klemnop” in SR)
Sorry – Star Realms has more than four days, I should have said! I think of it as a proper league. :P But anyhow, great! Should be maybe a week?
Well, I did just get back from Bavaria…
SR2 playoffs, Scott > Annie +61
The Star Realms playoffs are over! And everyone is going bananas for the top scorer. But there’s a FOUR-way tie for second, and the tiebreaker goes into effect!
More soon…
As per usual, the high and low point differentials are tossed, and the rest are summed:
bobm = 10 + 21 + (-8) + (-9) = +14
delirium = 18 + 18 + (-10) + (-23) = +3
robthomasson = 8 + 1 + (-30) + (-54) = -75
scottagibson = 39 + 9 + (-1) + (-11) = +36
…and the world traveler scottagibson trumps them all!
Check my maths, but I believe that the Season 2 finals pit me versus scott, a gibson. Best of three, sir!
SR3: Zebracadabra (5) > scottagibson (0)
Diff: 5
My last three turns I drew crap, fully expecting to end the game beforehand. Rainbows every turn. By that last turn, I had expected the tables to be turned and lose. Thankfully, I finally drew the Blob Destroyer.
Yeah, I expected to lose every turn after you ran away with it early. Well played, a close game in the end.
Thanks for softening him up, Zebra!
SR2 finals, game 1: AT (10), scott (0). That was a sweet game! No terribly powerful cards – just nifty decisions and crossed fingers. Game 2 ensues.
In game 2:
Me: Should I take the Stealth Needle or the Recycling Center?
My wife: Take the Needle because it’s sharp and pointy. A pin does more damage than a recycling bin.
She made a good call! I was in business, and then I forgot that my Fleet HQ doesn’t force Scott to attack it. Cost myself the game by scrapping a 6 defense outpost!
On to game 3!
Me: Take the explorer! Take the explorer!
Me: Hey those two cards are on the board at the start of game 3.
My wife: The recycle bin and the secret pin?
Me: Yeah, I bet that Scott takes the pin. Nope, he took the bin! I should probably go to bed right?
My wife: You want to play all three games tonight, don’t you?
Me: Weeeeeell…
My wife: You should play it!
Me: Ooooh, I can take a good card! Should I take the Blob World or the Brain World?
My wife: I’d take the Brain World.
Me: Why?
My wife: It’s smarter than a Blob.
Me: Ooooh, I just drew my cards in the shittiest possible order.
My wife: (silence)
THANKS A LOT SCOTT YOU COST ME MY MARRIAGE
Great, live series! All hail the GIBSON!
That first-round recycle bin was the MVP! Three close games, coulda gone either way.
