How the DNS issue saved my ass
In the days around the DNS issue I was heading towards a somewhat disastrous streak of 10 losses in a row, some more than fair, others down to bad dice and Nuffle's wim.
So one evening I was playing this Skaven team with my new and experimental Necro team and lo and behold down by 3 in turn 10-11, the client crashed :) Alas this wasnt the 10th loss, more like the 6th or 7th as I went on to loose (I call it a loss 'cause there's no way these Necroes are gonna turn around 3-0 in 5-6 turns). Due to many circumstances, neither Dragonoff or myself have been able to finish this game but have planned to finish (me) tonight.
So why the happy face? At the 9th loss in a row tables turned and I have now a 5 win streak, thus making me only a 9 game looser and not the abysmal 10 :DDD YAY for me and yay for DNS downtime!

These used to be a 5. 10 and 20 game losing streak award. Somehow the awards got lost. :(

I had the 20 loses award... at one point I "tried" to get 50 loses but somehow I kept getting the odd win after I blogged about it :/
and yes I miss the awards too :(

ah, I miss the awards. They used to be the only statistics I would look at.
