Ha! Mark, to be perfectly honest, and the guys in COalition and a few others know this, I had foot surgery back in mid October. Because of that, I was pretty much confined to my bedroom. So, I found this game, and I had an unfair advantage. I couldn't go anywhere, and was in immense pain. So, for pretty much a month and a half, I played and studied this game almost nonstop. No have not spent at all on it, hell, not working and medical bills are killing me more than the surgery! Anyway, point being, my unfair advantage, as I call it, is just the sheer amount of time I was able to have to learn and experiment with the game. Trust me, a very long process!
With Amanda, she would visit often, and I was able to share everything with her about the game in person, which makes it far easier to train someone and show them strategies and implications than trying to type it out and share it. She is also one level above me, but her team is almost a mirror of mine. Some of her plays are different. But, LORD do we have fun playing it. We were always close, but this just gave us something else to share together. As I said before, she's a bit more vibrant than me in her enthusiasm, LOL! But very proud of her. Tis funny, I have trie many times to get her to join Coalition, but she is a strong and independent woman and likes to her own thing her own way with her guild.
Just like I raised her! Proud Poppy. Again, fun to talk with everyone. It's a game and competiton all for amusement, but hell yeah, I wnat to win just like everyone else! Just curious, who do you guys have next?
