A few words on this friday morning...
About Trax:
He has a weird point of view in my opinion. He says that he prefers fun over skills or whatever, but he still decides to make a tournament. The point of a tournament is to compare your actual skills against others, and by the same time prevail. The thing is that with items, all on (probably at normal rate), the skill gets literally crushed by sheer luck. So if he's going to do a tournament, he should do it items off (or at low with the obvious items off like tomatoes and such), because this luck will have a lot to do in this tournament.
About Test Rider:
You play the game very seriously, you can't lose, you must not lose. That's your only bad side. I like the intensity you put in the game, you always thrive towards excellence, but it can become tiring for others. I agree with Paty in the way that you whine *for lack of a better word* when she plays or when you lose; it would seem you should remember that this is just a game, and we're trying to have fun. It's not a sport, your life isn't hanging by a thread every time you play. Try to be more sympathetic towards others. After playing a lot with you, it would seem that I'm starting to play the game a little too seriously also. I don't like the feeling. I do like the game, and "good competition" (and I mean it in 2 ways, good fights but mostly "good sportsmanship").
So, I'm going to the tournament, Test, I'm inviting you to come with me, and try to get the money. You know I'd really like you to be there. If you're not changing your mind, we'll make a drawing to see who can be my partner at the tourney between paty and vodka (I suppose nosh and mike will be together, I wouldn't play with anybody else apart from you 5).
