Thank you so much everyone.
It's amazing you all put up with me and actually tune into my streams when all I do is blare techno and bitch constantly. I've gone back and watched parts of my streams before and it's embarrassing how much of a whiner I am, but I just can't help it.
In fact, part of the reason I decided to slow things down in the back half of this game was because I was getting very frustrated with unproductive grouping sessions and I was tired of dealing with it and crying about it. On many a board it felt like long stretches of barrels were being totally uncooperative, and I get upset when even one barrel doesn't behave exactly as I'd like. The bad pies and bad rivets are expected. If you don't get a handful of bad pies and rivets in a game you are a total luck-sack. Bad barrel averages on the other hand, which this game had, are harder for me to live with. Luckily, with two men in reserve I was able to recognize the game as a "must complete for qualification or you're an idiot" game, and not let my frustrations completely melt me down.
The support I have received from this community has always been appreciated, but has long been undeserved. Now that I have purged the monkey from my back, I hope to be able to play better, looser, sexier, and continue to push the limits and earn your respect.
Thank you. Fuck yes!
