- Ahem. (Have to clear my throat after not saying anything for
- so long :)
-
- Randy did not "very quickly agree" to a re-match. He agreed
- to try to schedule one, contingent on his team first finishing the
- season. And also, more or less, told us that he would not even try if
- we did not shut up. (That's the gist of the "talk" session I had with
- him.)
-
- In any case, Ged got riled up (does Ged ever get anything but
- jsut that?) at being told not to post, and proceeded hand in hand with
- Felix down that old Flame Trail. I tried to keep things under control
- for a while, but eventually gave up, and decided I didn't want to go
- through the hassle that it would probably involve to actualy play a
- rematch, and have it count as a game. Ged had stated he would not
- play in a rematch against CP, this was also about the time when I
- decided to leave 12AM for the season.
-
- I'm not taking sides. Just providing some information, for
- the edification of whoever cares. A lot of stupid things were said
- about the CP-12AM game. A lot of stupid things are being said about
- the HB-TOFW game. But that seems to be the way netrek players operate
- usually.
