Silver Case

Played Settlers of Catan tonight. One opponent, __neo__, was ranked something like 150+ points. The other guy, Wizzy, was a pathetic minus fifty-something.

Early in the game, I got the robber. Wizzy had been doing the naive “build for longest road” race with himself and was up to +5. ___neo___ was +3. I was +4. So I played the robber on __neo__. The game is close, and clearly __neo__ is way more dangerous than Wizzy.

This sent Portuguese __neo__ out of his mind. And so he started carrying on and on and on. Eventually he reverted to taking as long as possible on his every turn. Well, I have other windows to look at too, so I just did other things as he did is pouting. So it didn’t really succeed in driving me away. In fact, I even reported him, so maybe he’ll be banned. That would be fun.

Alas, the only bummer of the night was that Wizzy beat me by two points or so. He had too many cities and was simply too productive. Oh well.
