Fun! We've been playing lots of races lately, so I hope we can make it back to Recruits again.

Kewl! I shall look forward to leaving you far in my dust! However, probably moot saber-rattling, as I'm assuming no trip by middle of Sept.  :D

If you ever get a chance, and I gather I mis-remember this as a Chris Palmer run game, though he did play, if ANYBODY is doing a flying carpet race at a big con, demand a place. Just TOO MUCH FUN!

However, REALLY looking forward to this one; as long as no one calls me Leslie.  >:(

I came! I saw! I...

Oh, well, I started with a commanding lead!

Then dropped to second to last...

Then back up to second as we called the game! *ahem*

Deep bow to the Baron for a job well done!

I shall never listen to your advice again!  lol

Sorry we missed it! I hope Jaye wasn't too busy to take a few pictures for us?  ;)

Can't say for sure; perhaps during those times he was awkwardly bending over the table laughing maniacally...

Actually, did look like he did; hope he was successful. I'll assume he'll have a few up shortly. If only my phone camera wasn't the POS it is.

You did miss something special, and while a few minutes before we weren't sure we had enough to play, by game time, we were turning folks away, alas.

Was fun, and LOOKED fun; plenty of passerbys afterwards admitted it looked a scream. Great VSF promotion that!

And, a GREAT birthday present to me!

No, I really make no claim to having had a chance in the end; outside of a hand-o-Gawd from one of the other players, and most of the cards were gone, even a Hail Mary ram wouldn't have been enough.

A well-deserved, and cunning, victory for the Turk!

I suppose they will be insufferable in negotiations now...

Thanks again SO MUCH!!!

They'll probably ask to be buddies in the next war.

Why do you think I acknowledge their victory with such flowing praise?

What do the Americans call it, oh, yes, 'buttering up'.  lol
