I am complete for rounds 1 and 2. Results:
Round 1: AE wins 2 v Jason 0
Round 2: ubercatcher16 wins 2 v Jason 0
My record in the tournament is, in a way, perfect. Zero. But, I have enjoyed it! I do want to thank you all for the tournament. This is one of my favorite variants, and I do solicit and appreciate your advice on your strategy for this specific game. I'm definitely looking to improve. For me, nowhere to go but up!
As an aside:
In the movie "National Lampoon's Animal House," Faber College, Dean Wormer wants to expel the entire Delta Tau Chi fraternity. So he calls them in to his office to discuss their GPAs.
John Belushi has the same 0.0 grades average as my tournament results average. The key quote from the dean ringing through my head is:
"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son."
Not that I'm drunk, but feeling a bit stupid.
Such is my Cold War tournament. See you soon again. ;-)
