Allright, not much left I can do here, I give up, well played! Thanks for showing me low luck, I’m not crazy about it yet :)

[ArtofWar1947]

Thanks for the interesting game. Let me know if you would be interested in a rematch–regular luck if prefer.

[Balladeer]

I am interested, but I’ve got too much going on right now, since XDAP started in the mean time. I’ll let you know when I have time!

[ArtofWar1947]

Thanks.

Will you post the result, or do you want me to post it?

[Balladeer]

It’s not a league game, as I did not want to play my first low luck game for the league, so no need to post this one by either of us.

[ArtofWar1947]

As I have limited free time, I did not want to play a non-league game and so agreed to play a league game on your terms (regular luck). I misread your 1/16/15 reply (" I’d like to try [LL], just non league first game, allright?") as meaning: I’d like to try a LL game down the road, but wish to stick with regular luck for league games). This misreading is why I was so surprised to discover we were playing low luck.

[Balladeer]

Ah, that makes it extra confusing indeed. I intentionally put the game in the boardgames section instead of the league game sections as well, and didn’t add ‘15L’ to the threat title, so I thought we were both perfectly clear on this.

[ArtofWar1947]

I should have paid more attention to the game title and where the game was posted. I did not realize until this AM were in the board game, not the league game, section.
