In 2016 I went in supporting Rand based on the information I had. The FTC questioning and speeches didn't make me favor one finalist over the other but they did provide additional game information that caused me to change my decision.

Yeah, endurance challenges where it's legitimately difficult to do what you're supposed to are good.

(But I'm probably biased since I won the balls challenge)

I just hit a point where my thought process was "control-v submit scroll down next tab control-v submit scroll down next tab..." and really didn't think of anything else (except as time passed I began to think more of the carpal tunnel that was developing in my left hand). The only reason I fell where I did was that I was trying to figure out a way to keep going without murdering my left hand and took too long doing so.

Mine is guessing Drench in GoT for saying "noo" in italics, guessing Drench in Eon because his activity seemed Aussie and his RL shit corresponded to the RL shit that he was telling me about in his Bands confessional, guessing Ceph in GoT, and several impulse decisions about how every player who PMs me at 3am is definitely Drench or JDGA.

I thought I really screwed up because I said something in the Skype chat using the exact same wording as I used when talking to Amumu the day before. I guess it's possible to be MUUUUUCH more obvious than I was.

Edit: fixed wording by adding "wording"

There's kinda a correlation in that social skills are fairly important in both, but that's where the comparison stops.

It doesn't seem like we're especially far behind or anything, just taking a short break from staggering. I wouldn't be surprised if the next game still starts right around when MLS ends.
