Man, that was a devastating Allied move.  I did not figure on you buying that carrier.

@Shin:

Man, that was a devastating Allied move.  I did not figure on you buying that carrier.

LOL I am just trying to survive man.  It’s funny, the other day a friend of mine was telling his allies “Joel will attack when it’s only 40%”.

My chance to win that battle was only 38%, and I really struggled with whether I should gamble or not… that 2% was a stretch… Same thing when I was down to 1 fighter.

Wish I sent less planes to Java, but you never know what you’re going to get in this game…

[Gargantua]

Oh no! I didn’t see your edit!

[Gargantua]

I will recomplete the turn.

[Shin-Ji]

Since you already rolled, it’s probably better to keep it the way it was, and ignore the edit.

[Gargantua]

Yeah but the problem is that if I had rolled well, you would be asking for the edit, and by rights it would be given to you as you did post it first.  So my move is invalid and in error.  And I already restarted tripleA :S

[Gargantua]

All my battles must be rerolled, even the ones that went well for me. :S  The nature of the beast…

[Shin-Ji]

Ironically, I thought I had posted a warning that the edit was incoming, because I noticed it as soon as I posted, but it hit the 15 second window.

[Gargantua]

Howcome you aren’t playing in the XDAP tournament? You should enter.

[Shin-Ji]

I don’t like multi-player games.  Too slow.

Plus, when it was starting up I had a ton of games going and a ton of work.  Now I’ve got a lot less of both.

[Gargantua]

People who get defeated in the tournament fall in to what is called “The Pits” and they fight for survival in there…

Assuming a pit fighter survives, they will get a shot at the championship title for $300.

Want to slip into the pits as an individual?

[Shin-Ji]

Sure!  If I can fight as an individual that would be fun.
