Snips... Re: [CON] [LONG] GenCon Report

Well, once again, I attend a GenCon without playing a single GZG game; I had
volunteered for part of the time events were happening, and just lost track of
time in other cases. Or, you can claim 'cowardice'...

Once again, no one was selling "Fantasy Rules!" in the Exhibit Hall...

I saw a copy SOMEWHERE, but it certainly was a hard find.

Kevin played Adam, Mike played Sean, with Kevin and Mike making it into the
final round. They were both given the same fleets for the final round, with
Kevin beating Mike. Special notice has to go to Hobe Rupe. Hobe had a combined
score of just over 1200 points! It wasn't that he played badly, but that his
dice rolling was atrocious. He was rolling 1s and 2s while his opponents
rolled 5s and 6s. He ended up throwing out his entire collection of green six
sided dice? no one had the nerve to pick them up. Hobe is famous for this.

I won't retell the story of the day Hobe pitched the same dice twice, but
nobody from Lincoln was surprise to hear the event. ;->=

Given some gamers actions, taking out frustrations on dice is commendable.

By the way, as the first two sets of games were actually the first 'round' of
the tourney, this makes the third year in a row that the final champion met,
and beat, Hobe in the first round. I think he's considering asking a
fee of his next first round opponent. ;->=

Well, as I have now turn around and drive my daughter a 600+ mile round
trip to deposit her in her home in mid-Missouri, have to close with many
a comment left on my tongue. If I got started on Andon, I'd never get out of
here...

Allan, Dean, Mike, Mark, KR, Schoon, et al, good to see you again!
