Glad that you're feeling better most of all Colt.
But also very glad you have insurance. Its not something I wind up thinking about too much here, but I know how crippling those bills can be for you guys down south if you don't.

You're the third person I've heard mention something like this the last couple games. I will probably have to put out a PM before next game, but to address this in short here:
Even more so than being not our problem (and it really isn't), its not nearly as one sided as everyone is claiming.
The Joes have won 6 games in a row now. That's been comprised of 6 strike, and 5 ops (as the most recent ops was unopposed)
Of the 5 ops games that were played, all 5 were decided by 3 or fewer posts between teams.
Of the 6 Strike games - three were decided by 3 or fewer posts, and the other three were the decisive wins.
Of the three that were "one sided" the first was in January when on the last day, Cobra decided to have every player shield, even when they couldn't. So not one of their 10 posts counted. Given the average post is worth between 3 and 4 points, that's about a 35 point loss there. Joes won by 51 points. So realistically, if those posts had been valid instead, a 16 point win. Essentially 2-3 posts again.
So realistically, the only "one-sided" battles have been the last two strike games. May was one-sided only because cobra forgot to organize a team until the night that the game started. It was to the point that I didn't actually believe they were doing that. And they reduced a 70+ point deficit on the first day to 46 points by the end of the game. Given that they missed 28 points of posts during that game, that's again an 18 point differential had they all been aware ahead of time. So yet again a 3 post win by the joes.
Only this most recent game was really one-sided. And I'll freely admit that there is no other way to call that.
So, of the last 6 (11) wins, 5 (10) of them have been within 2-3 posts of each other had the teams all posted correctly. Only ONE game has actually been a blowout. I think people are really getting the wrong idea.
I think its worth mentioning as well that between Chapters 8 and 39, the win totals look like this:
G.I. Joe - 4.5
Cobra - 13.5
IG - 18
SMF/Mercs - 5.5
We won fewer games than ANY of the other three teams. Including the fourth teams. I don't recall being cut any slack by the other teams.
Heck, if I may quote Bandanov/ArcticCG from January after our first win "I didn't play you with the same intensity that I played the IGs"
Yes. We were so bad that we were considered the "rest" team to play against. We finally get things together in some consistent manner, and we're supposed to be ashamed of that?
