so...yeah

i'm not one to brag... well actually i am... and this is a really good time to do so. i posted some recent major victories - two in a row in fact. the 'in a row' part isn't really that big a deal. it was the manner in which things happened. in the game 2 weeks ago _red_ had 12/13 points and whiffed on the vic. the rest of us schmopeds had 8 at most. clearly the game was stained _red_. round the horn come the cup o' bones and yours truly builds a city and trades a bunch of junk for coins and metropolizes said city for 3 points (we built this city on rocks and rolls of coins playing in the background), oh woops the city is on a harbor so i'll be taking the harborbastard card as well, ahoy matey that be 5 pts for the vic. no one in the history of catan had ever done that previously that day. i immediately submitted fluids for testing which was not looked upon kindly by the other players.
this past weekend saw a similar feat of harborbastardliness for the sneak from behind vic which shouldn't have happened. i started off with crappy number diversity 4,5,6,9 only but all resources. development was pretty lackluster throughout but wham bam a city on a port later and i was cruising my skiff at 14 knots to the island of victoria.
