Hmm. my intent with the question was to encompass a lucky charm or some sort of familiar ritual perhaps?
I'll change it to "What is something you do/have for good luck?"
would that clarifydid another ms user do something lovely? recognize their achievements here!

My answer in the last round should have been totally free for anyone who has ever met me, I think?Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.- Felissan

Same for mine. It's not something I brag about a lot, but I do speak quite a bit of that part of my life, so most people I know could have guessed it.In post 307, Vi wrote:

what medal did you get, Yves?
I dont think people would know about mine, maybe outside my parents. And even they guess, I think. It's not something I talk about much.
From older times, kaats tournaments gave material prices. For example horses for the seniors, or a form of jewelry: watches. Of the former there's one tournament which still insists on it, though it's hard to keep going, watches for the more important youth tournaments that's still going strong. I think I might have talked about it before, the most important tournament for boys is held in my village, every year. Villages send 3 man teams, around 55-60 teams every year. The whole season is geared towards that one event, even the national championship (also village based) is minor compared to it. That you can win "golden" watches is nice, but really not the most important. It's that you'd win "the Freule", and you'd be remembered forever. It matters.
Now I won't pretend we were the best: we weren't. There was one other village which had a team that won everything that year. I won't even pretend I was the best in my team, we had one exceptional talent in our village, I was the second man, but I did my part. But on the right day, we could be second best. We were second best on the national championship. I still remember the final, or really one shot from there. I could have pulled it even, 5-5 in games (first to 6, don't have to have 2 more), did everything right, and just about didn't make it. We lost 5-4 6-6 in the resulting play. A little plate with a number 2 sits above the staircase at my parents place. I think they are kind of proud of it. I don't know if I was so good that day. I think not.
But the weekend before the tournament that meant everything, everything clicked, in one of those tournaments where watches could be won. We had a tough draw. First round was not easy, and after that it were all teams who regularly won prizes, except that one team. They were on the other side. We grew that day, I think it was the best we ever played. The final, well there was only one team that won that year. We made it close, yet again not close enough. 5-4 once more. A silver watch, yet it didn't really matter. It was a saturday, well sunday there was another tournament but that also didn't really matter: wednesday, we would really be there. We seemed to peak at the right moment.
Wednesday, because there were more teams playing, first games were decently easy. Nothing to worry about. First 3 rounds were over in a breeze. 4th round, so in the prizes, we would have our first challenge, a team that didn't suit us so much, but otoh they didn't win all that much. And with everything on the line, half our village watching, we lost. What I have from that day is a shared 5th prize, and good memories of the saturday before.
It doesn't even matter the village we lost against, the guys we knew to be decent but not that great, would win in two iterations (because a player can only win once) in the two years after. They were talented, and/or smart. It doesn't even matter that since that day, no nearly 10 years ago, our village hasn't won a prize on that very tournament. To this day I'm still carrying with me that we peaked too early, and even then never beat that one team. I've had an amazing time playing that sport, yet I'm left with a silver coloured watch and thoughts of what could have been.Surrender, imagine and of course wear something nice.- Errantparabola

ROUND 13- LUCK ROUND ANSWERS
Unsure if this is the best round or the worst.
Felissan- Prayer
Realeo- No.
Cheery Dog- I carry a miniature of a certain animal in my bag wherever I go. Made of plastic, not an actual mini animal unfortunately.
Errantparabola- I get all of my luck from sitechat.
Chickadee- I'm not superstitious or anything, but I refuse to do laundry on the first day of the year, because it washes away your luck for the year. I know it's silly, but it's something my mom always did, so I do it too now.
Shaziro- no.
notachipmunk- in case im not too late, no
N-I don't?
MTD-lots of preparation
Vi-"No."
Neblive-Defy the laws of the universe and say "What could possibly go wrong"
randomidget-Nothing, Luck is an illusion, created by our lack of knowledge, for example if you throw a coin, it will either land on heads or tails, you know nothing about the outcome, so you'll give each of them a chance of 50%, but if you know precisely the angle you've thrown it with, along with the direction of the wind and its speed, along with the power of your finger, you'll know exactly what it would land on, so there wouldn't be luck here. In Quantum Mechanics, this is also the case, there's no true random in the universe, but everything is random because we don't know everything.avatar is made from combined small pictures of the avatars of cheery dog, gin n tonic, randomidget, mykonian, lalaladucks, utl, arthur dayne, and kittymo.
and this time, MTD as well. are you happy now MTD-
