2022 2nd Ed OOB Playoffs R2 - AndrewAAGamer (X) vs ArthurBomberHarris (A+60)

@simon33 Oof, yeah those American dice really brought the point home. Yikes. And no worries about dithering, difficult decisions take time.

I’d like to have 45 as that’s typically the lowest I’ll go, if that’s ok.

Right! (about 41)
It would be your first miss if you do. 🤣

The longer you take, the better I feel about making you wait so much. You already make me feel better by saying it’s very complicated. When it’s my turn I wait until I actually get a good block of time where I have energy to even really take a good look at it.

So no worries
