WBC 2010 Day 4 Summary

Slept in late again, first time I've had 3 full nights sleep in a row in a long time. Hopefully that has me nice and rested for the rest of the week, since I don't imagine it happening again. EVentually got up and open gamed with Robb and Pounder. We played Smallworld and then Tichu before their El Grande heat. I went up to the room to get Queen's Gambit and then wandered down for the Merchants of Venus demo but ended up being a little late and was unclear on exactly what was going on. I think I got the jist of it and can likely play a heat if I wanted to though.

Went to Queen's Gambit where I ended up playing the light side. I won the Jedi battle pretty handily but lost a lot of guards in the palace before I could get Obi-Wan out, which meant I couldn't block the entry way. Instead I ran Obi-Wan up to the top, stood him in the door to the throne room, and rapelled the rest of my team in. Unfortunately a destroyed droid ended up ripping through Obi-Wan despite him having 9 hitpoints left. (1 in 36 to get 4 hits? Run it twice! 1 in 6 to riposte? No way!)

Most of my Anakin cards were on the bottom of my deck so I didn't even have a chance to win, unfortunately. I eventually lost while still 3 squares away.

Next up: Le Havre. I ended up building 2 steel ships, a luxury liner, and shipping 7 steel and 10 coke. I hardly built anything but I ended up scoring 290 thanks to an awful lot of shipping. I also ran Feedlot to get 2 cows a harvest and shipped the extra ones whenever I got about 6. It was pretty sweet, and I won handily.

Waffle House finally came home with terrible service. My hashbrowns with ham in them also included some of Robb's onions, which made them unedible. I ordered an omelet which ended up being a brick of cheese with an egg wrapped around it. Also terrible. Robb got cheese on his hashbrowns which ended up being a slice of processed cheese slightly melted on top of them. In all, a terrible trip to the Waffle House and exactly what we expect from it.

We ran The Stock Market Game when we came back. I lost money. Pounder and Robb each made a small fortune. 8P
