[CC2] Quarter Finals: TOFU vs EMPIRE [21-40 of 61] FINAL

[Denise]

I avoided BOB for a long time, and i made General without BOB. Since i added BOB, success seems to have stopped, i felt down to Colonel. I seriously believe that you play more carful without BOB. But it´s more time consuming. I got lazy, so i started to use it. But BOB only saves you some time counting stuff, it doesn´t give you any advantage you couldn´t have without using BOB.
So using BOB or not is just a question of how much time you want to put in each game. You get a better overview if you play without BOB, because you spent more time looking at the board, checking the options and you understand stuff like the bonus system, you don´t simply check by BOB if you have a bonus or not.

I am sure you are right about playing more carefully and understanding the bonuses better without BOB, though I can't imagine doing it. I guess I am too lazy. It is such a useful tool and I am so used to it that if I didn't play with it, I would be insecure and always think I was missing stuff. One of the most useful things about it is seeing immediately what the tert counts are.

I'll admit to becoming overly dependent upon it at times.

Brilliant analogy. You're such a good writer, you should write a book or something

[waseemalim]

this is a pretty formidable lead. Well played Empire.

[lord voldemort]

we should really get this third set started guys...or we are going to fall further behind schedule

[niMic]

This is a fairly unbelievable score, so far. EMPIRE were always good, but...

This is a fairly unbelievable score, so far. EMPIRE were always good, but...

...They weren't invented at McGill University?
...until now they were always robots?
...maybe my tourniquet isn't tied tightly enough?
...The Rolling Stones were better?
...I always imagined them to look a little like Actor Michael Sheen.
...But beating TOFU was something I always pictured Asians doing, instead?
...would be better with Beckytheblondie?
...who thought that they would also beat the Red Tritons in the Southwest Manchester Region Little Kicker's Football Cup?
...

All of the above?

Game 9279850 for EMPIRE. Nothing like a 30 round dubs game.

[malevolous]

I'm showing 22-7, can someone update?

I've updated it. Also wished it was 22-7. Unfortunately it's 7-22.

Damn, that's pretty impressive Empire, nicely done. Maybe if we're lucky, we will get that challenge against you guys after all.

oh so now you want to play us



I kid....it sucked that challenge fell through. We did stacks of prep for it

I think I deleted that PM where we had all 30 home games with settings and teams set. I chalked it up to "that's never going to happen." We've had several roster moves since then anyway, so it would have to change.

As for the Monkis, it would be great to take you on in the challenge. It would mean we got past FOED as well.

Well good luck to you, and I hope to see you in the finals. We have some old business that we have to take care of first : )

[Bruceswar]

Looks like Empire will have this one. Congrats. Now we need to take care of FOED so we can get a rematch.

Prep?!?!?!

Peel me a banana, someone.

Nice lead here,though. Impressed.

Does that mean TOFU are still looking for their first win against an established clan?
