A 4th turn "win" for the bugs in points, 1525 to 1443 (Do you remember if the Lictors or the broken Stealers rallied Matt? It doesn't look like they did per the last picture so I counted their full cost for the tiebreak. It's closer than last time though). Anyway, que the Walk of Sportsmanship.

Like the word "win" in quotation marks there, Dave, as well as entirely inappropriate editing of my list title. Should we have played turn 5 to see how it turned out?
As for the points: my list was 3005. After the battle, your math resulted in a 200pt victory for the 'nids without the stealers and lictors rallying, so I don't know what the real outcome was. You didn't save the paper you used?

When it comes to "wins", Dave likes to count things like ties, losses, and incompletes.

Statistics don't lie, but Dave does.

Hey, a "wins" a "win" Bill. Like that time you were too doped up on cough medicine to stand, let alone play? Definitely a win.

So what you're saying Mosc is that we'll have to keep a special eye on Dave at the EA Challenge at Adepticon?

Two eyes. And a camera. And a GPS device.

You have CANDY?

I thought that was the electronic ankle bracelet?

Is it possible? Is Dave actually Martha Stewart?

Pretty pictures. I'll try to give a thorough reading later, once these Goblins realize my head is not in fact a War Drum.
