So, yesterday, something very strange happened, which I can't help but write a blog about. Yesterday evening, I managed to win my second tourney on FUMBBL - a Royal Rookie Rumble with
Amazons. I know, I know ... yeah, whatever, dog bites man, happens every day, get over yourself JellyBelly. Bear with me though.
The final was my Amazons against Emphasy's Undead team - me a clear underdog against a true FUMBBL legend. The game itself was ludicrous. You can read my full report on the match page, but basically, I totally diced him. Short story is that, after some silly second-half dice shenanigans, it was 1-1 with me receiving, turn 7 of the second half, with 8 zons left against his full Undead team. Clearly, I'm not going to score a winner in 2 turns and I'm expecting him to trash me in overtime. Then, the unthinkable happened: the Amazon fans go bananas and invade the pitch, flattening almost his
entire team (except for 2 zombies), and leaving my zons almost completely untouched! All I had to do was pick up the ball and trot down the pitch for the winner.
He took it very well, but I couldn't quite come to terms with what had happened. It seemed ... wrong. Cruel. Unholy, even. I couldn't shake off the gnawing feeling that something wasn't quite right. So, I pondered and reflected and pondered some more, until, finally, I noticed something on my profile page, and suddenly, everything fell into place:

So, there, now you know how I did it. ;)
