I too have some comments about the class last weekend in Chicago.
I'm proud to say that I am now a Kool-Aid drinking, card carrying member of the Volta EM army (gang, cartel, brownie troop - whatever).
College Queens. Incredible artwork, deep ruleset, exciting game play. Think about it Nic.
I wasn't able to stick around Sunday to see the end of the "challenge", but I'm assuming that I was low score. In my defense I just want to say that I had blisters on the fingers of my left hand, some knee pain on my right side causing me to stand at a slight angle, and a double ear infection creating an equilibrium problem.
Also, (and you'll find this shocking), but on at least three occasions Karen bumped my elbow when I was attempting a shot. I was surprised too. Just goes to show you that you never really know someone... I would suggest tighter security at future events.
Then there was Israel. Not there Saturday, mysteriously appears on Sunday and brought by... Karen. Israel was quiet, respectful and kind. I find those qualities to be highly annoying. His silence was deafening. He threw me off my game.
There were some other things, but I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses.
And at the risk of sounding petty and paranoid, I think there may have been some cheating going on, and I felt people were out to get me.
In reality, everyone was awesome! The first time I saw information regarding the event was last Friday, and decided to sign up. Glad I did! Thanks to my classmates and Nic for making it fun.
