so i'm *HOLD*ing for my 3rd win in 5 days. I'm a bit surprised today's score is holding up (in a 3 way tie) but i'll take it.

edit: although i note no dynasty in the scores yet, so there's definitely room for a late dagger in the heart

Expect the unexpected.

The dagger is always unexpected.

I'll be honest, I didn't think it was a game deserving of winning, but I'm gutted that it's like the 26th person who snipes the top spot.

Yesterdays challenge was weird. After my game I was close 2nd and thought that someone would crush the field with a score 4-5k ahead of the others. After treep played and was joined 1st she agreed. But for a long time no such thing happened (only a small improvement for 1st) until late in the night when the top score was finally crushed.

I'd feel really bad about doing this, but then that new guy did it to me right after.

Just about every DC comment is dripping with narcissism imo.

Just want to say that I´ve played a beautiful DC today. I´m such a good player and any time I don´t win the DC is because someone lucked out on me. Also I give triplechain training for $50/h and can send you a signed picture of myself if you are interested and pay the postage.

i made my first 60k ever last week, which has rather killed my drive to get to level 11. How exciting is it never rolling 3s?

Not very exciting at all. I played about 3 games with it then decided I would much rather have all of the manipulations, they are much more useful.

I've really been the rabbit lately. Maybe this one will finally hold up.

that is such a perfect way to describe it, too.

i don't think i'm spoiling anything by saying that the final set of dice killed me.

Heh, that's why he's Dynasty and I'm 1366.

He didn't have to beat me by 4000 though; that was just mean.

I've actually been in a slump for a while and stuck at 48 wins.

Looking on the list of winners, I've got a 3rd, 3rd, 2nd/8th, 3rd, 3rd, 5th, 5th, 5th, and 2nd since my last win. There were a few days in which I thought I had a winning game only to see somebody get a nearly perfect game.

Going into rack 9 he only wins 20%. But Derwi wins just over 50%. Pretty sure it would be more tilting for you though if Alex had a rubbish score and I connect my last 3 earlier on; you lose by 36 points! The day before, radisto and I would've won with 60% of rack 9s (just needed a 5). Was so happy with how I played it too :-(
