I haven't actually saw anything about him. I don't really care in fact except that he doesn't like the "Potent potables" category either so he must be good.
I do wonder who were the other winners when the other methods of scoring were in place.

I was convinced he cheated. Still, though, you have to give him some credit for going down gracefully.

I think we can all learn a lesson from his defeat. When playing Zerg v. Mormons, it is wise to go straight to Hydras, since Mormon bikers can tear through lings like sharp knives through things being cut by knives and they are low on the tech tree.

That was a good run he put up.

I think he did it on purpose. He probably just couldn't put up with going anymore. Hey, at least he has 2.5 million to look forward to. ;)

Not to mention how much they probably paid him off with.

I hunger for payoffs.

"What is H & R Block?" was the question...
or the answer to the problem, if you will.
