I just returned from the tourney in Atlantic City, where Cyberwolf swept the field in our division. Congratulations,Tom, on a job well done! Out of 18 games, he only lost four.
I did get to play him face to face. We had a good game, one of his few losses (had to get that in). He played lionizer with the R on the far right opening the tpl/tpl lane. I wasn't sure if it took the R but if I was wrong, I couldn't leave the tpl/tpl for him. Luckily i didn't challenge. It was good! Two turn later. I used the N from lionizer to make "undriven". The play went down without even a shadow of a doubt from either of us. It was a phony! I looked it up after the game just to double check and was shocked. Tom was shocked too!
The major differences between playing here on the zone and live play, aside from the obvious score keeping and tracking, are the PHONIES. You lose games because of them, but you win because of them too. Makes the stress level a lot different. Fun, but exhausting!
