Ended up getting 5 points out of 7, good for a nine-way tie for fifth and a check for $66.67. Also, I made a seven year old kid cry and you really can't put a dollar amount on that, so I came out well ahead this weekend.
And a big thank you to Shea (pronounced Shay) as well for letting me crash on his couch and not even trying to rape me or anything.
Nico, I think we would get along smashingly in real life. Also, I have been pronouncing Shea wrong forever. >.>
Guys, I have no idea how to play chess.
I guess I could read books and then try playing online, but that does not sound fun at all and I know I'll never do that. I could learn if someone taught me in real life.
