BM 23 Playoff Final Gamerman (L+4) vs Farmboy (X)
-
@gamerman01 If I could have won more quickly, I would have tried. But I do try to play low risk where possible and you haven’t given me ( as far as I can tell) any openings that I could have some confidence I could steal the victory with. So have been playing to get a strong economic position, and keep the US/UK on the outside.
-
@farmboy I was kind of fishing, like you either get it and think it’s hilarious, or you don’t and that’s fine.
Since you ask, in 2016 after failing to pull away from Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton bemoaned “How am I not 50 points ahead??” (like having 50% more of the vote than the Donald)
Because she thought Donald Trump was wholly unworthy, was entering her field of politics as an outsider, she had been first lady for 8 years, and of course Donald Trump is just an offensive, blundering idiot carnival barker etc etc
And then he went on to win. She absolutely could not fathom what was happening to her and how she was losing the contest while she thought she was doing all the right things and it was “her turn”, as she put it. -

Actually, “pull away” is not the correct way to put it. She was losing at the time.
-
@gamerman01 I don’t remember the specific comment but I thought it might have been a reference to something like that.
-
I’m not going to look it up, but I think I said that when I knew you were in a similar time zone and was guessing that you may be American
-
yeah. I think we are probably the same time zone if you are in Ohio? I’m just a few hours drive North East. in Toronto, Ontario.
-
I’m a few moves behind, on my physical board
Will be enjoyable to catch it up! -
I just came back here to make sure you didn’t overlook my save file, and there was your Italy, a day ago! Not the first time that’s happened.
ANZAC/France should be easy, I’ll play them now
-
@gamerman01 no worries. I should have realized with the conversation you might not have seen it.
-
Because you almost always move in less than 24 hours I looked, so your regularity keeps it going even when it’s my turn!
-
And then I forgot to put in game notes -
2 French are on 1 UK transport.
I guess I can utilize all UK transports in round 13 after all -
Sweetens the pot a little for you

Oof! I haven’t even looked at J yet - there are a lot more demands on my time than I am used to.
This is still a high priority in my life, but I have a close family member falling apart and I’m behind on my work schedule as I’m trying to finally get to the end of a big move to a better house.
We’ve been working on getting 3 adult’s stuff out of a home of 21 years, and has to be done by Monday 11/27, the closing date.
I have a new (and rather expensive) snooker table and have only played 3 games since it came in a couple weeks ago! So this is evidence that my fun has had to take a back seat lately. But you can’t keep the gamerman from playing games for very long…And yet there’s still a chance that I sneak in the big US/UK move tonight, who knows!! Thank you
-
@gamerman01 no worries. Take your time. I’ve been pretty busy too. And enjoy the snooker!
-
I imagine a snooker table is a great place to set up an axis and allies game :)
