“Game 101 was what I had hoped Game 100 would be. Lots of twists and turns. Some bold moves. Some of them worked and some of them failed. Lots of strategem disguising and clever aggression abated at just the right time. It took some good rolling to get me through the game especially on defence. Patience and restraint were also necessary. As much as I wanted to fly down and destroy Grey and Red to take their cards I held back as the exposure was simply too much. When I was presented with a golden opportunity to kill Black I still suffered heavy losses as from somewhere deep inside Marty managed to roll four sixes in a row and seven total sixes against me. It was at that point that I thought forgetting to place three guys on the board at the start of my second turn would come back to haunt me. Luck smiled on me today though. Not card luck as that all went to Sheldon. But other luck. The card situation was what made this game a real challenge. Sheldon is always a worthy adversary but even moreso when he is turning in cards in 6 of 12 turns including the never before seen triple card turn in after ending Nancy and Jamie on the same turn. The man in the silver pajamas. I thought I reacted well to what was happening and stuck to a well thought out plan. Coupled with high rolling and boyish charm there was nothing that could stop me in this game...not even the 56 guys Sheldon placed by virtue of his card sets alone.”

“These look like BIG STRONG HANDS. And they were. But it did not translate to strong rolls. I blame it on Ron being late. Shit there is a lot of blood on my hands.”

“I cant believe I ate the whole thing.”

“Take a risk. Yep that is what I did with an alright card turn in. 4 for cards 2 for the wild 2 for W. U.S. of fucking A or California plus the obligatory three. With Big Blue the player formerly known as Pink hovering up North a costly battle down in Argentina equals sixth or seventh place. So okay whittle the Blue with some amazing luck maybe knock down the Argentinian Grey or wait cause Grey is using my playbook and sitting on the three minimum. Yep could have knocked out Grey used myself up and had a nice set of cards to give someone else Blue Green And then relax comfortably in sixth place... And then Silver thirteen fucking cards not including the pickup upon eliminations yada yada. Blue does his thing and BAM. Out before midnight. Two January games two fifth place finishes. Auspicious indeed. I will find out who wins in the morning...”

“Crappy rolling day. Still cannot believe Ron was out first And now me. HTW”

“Cannot win em all. Thought I asserted myself in Australia but it was ignored to the detriment of both I and my fellow Aussie. My terrible defensive rolling did not help at all. Ethan put your shoes on. I am coming to pick you up...”
