Worry and stress?

[baw]

Starting to realize the crunch is almost here... I have about less than two days until I am on a plane for Gencon. I just wonder how I am going to feel in a week I hope to do well and do my best. If I lose while doing my best I can live with that! I just hope I don't do a completely boneheaded maneuver that I will relive for the rest of my life (lol ) I certainly think I will have fun! It sounds like we are going to have a good group of guys going there. I hate to hear some of the people who aren't coming.

The 1000 point thing has my head spinning.. I started packing units for it.. When I hit 20 Arrow IV's I realized I had slipped over to the darkside (lol) I have no idea what to bring.. I sorta have a feeling there might be random planetary conditions or something like that.. (or even random missions)

I just hope I have as good an attitude next week!

One thing that is starting to stress me also.. is the gas price.. I drive for an hour+ each way to play a game. WOW the gas price is making that crazy. My car is ok but not particularly fuel efficient.

Ok.. I wonder what I am going to be thinking when I come back and read this again (after Worlds)

Well I think I will have played some challenging games of mechwarrior and hopefully made some good friends!

TWENTY ARROW 4's??

<_<

You only have 8 SSw ones... so what else did you bring... unless you have 20 SSw ones.... that would be scary.......

Don't worry baw.... you'll be fine. You're not rated #1 for nothing! Hehehehe I gotta see what happens if you play marc

[baw]

I must admit I starte panicking.. I grabbed Liao, I grabbed Steel wolves.. I grabbed DF... I sat and looked at the box and said.. "You are losing your mind" I started grabbing towed Arrow IV's.. I really like having a plan when I get ready to play

[RoyalScion]

C'mon Baw you can do it

You're in 5th place! 5-2 record! gogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogo

Keep chugging on baw. We're all rooting for you over here.

But hey, what is wrong with Steel Wolves?

[RoyalScion]

I abhor berserker dials
Especially ones that require combat to get to (SU AP, SU streak etc. especially on mechs because you can't push to take damage )

I remember Sad Geoff Bekker... who got hit past his prime and was utterly decimated

What about the Arbies? Streak+Electronic Camo means you can streak the enemy, and they cannot strike back unless they get past the blocking.

Anyways, the biggest boon of SW SU attackers is the fact that if you hit with the attackers, you get stronger as the enemy gets weaker(Ala Jeni Wolf!). But bah, I play with a bunch of scrubs, I really cannot talk .

[RoyalScion]

These days tho I'd rather slap EC on Chikako tho

But then again... if you get hit past your sweet spot... you're usually pretty screwed... since most SW units degrade pretty fast after that spot <_<

I collapsed on the third day.. I hadn't slept for three nights.. Stress and Roomates and getting into to convention really late because of delays.. My opponents played well I fell apart. I lost my games by a couple of points... If I would have taken a couple of different moves I would have won easily.. It was WWWWAAAYYY too stressful for me Sorry to let you guys down!

That's too bad, Baw. I know how hard it can be to keep up the pace with those big tournaments! At USN, I barely slept for 4 days. The stress and excitement was really high!

I hope you had fun, though!

I really enjoyed meeting all the guys! I met some great guys who I think are going to be friends for a long time.. I just wish I had actually got to "go" to GenCon. I really didn't get to see anything there!
