I will log into msn aswell, cya there!

Yes, i am there! Unfortunately i didn't think you can play that soon so i didn't enter ag earlier although i could.

I am around, actually was here since sunday, as i already said in my previous post. It's just i am not around when John is (after 17 GMT) and he is not around when i am (usually before 18 GMT)
Regarding tech win, i suggested it first, before i left to the funeral i mentioned.

I can play today aswell but not after 18:00 GMT, because it's Bayern Munchen vs Manchester today. I am not a football fan but i am big Bayern fan (like all that is made in bavaria) xD

@ John: ok, hope to be on-line today. I can play now or for the next 4-5 hours, dunno after that. So if you could come a bit earlier, like 18:00 (or earlier) max 19:00 GMT should be ok. Cya!

It's my opinion long before i met players like Daz, Mab and many others i didn't named just to keep the list short. But unlike others i don't think i hold the supreme truth... and there was no quote, like i said ... just mentioned few (which are probably in top 3 players all time).

And Dario didn't told anyone anything, he is inactive since quite a while so just leave him out of this. He is not clan leader nor authority so the opinions and similarities between me (others) and him are from way back (probably more than 5 years). Can't stand when someone is bringing Daz in discussion and others start to question the reason he is brought up in just because of frustration or other reason. (not your case though).

And besides, SD isn't a luck factor for me. It's just part of the context, and the wormer who is better prepared and can play in tight situation (like knowing if you will miss it's gg) wins. Plain and simple.

I repeat, everyone is entitled to personal opinion so don't try to impose yours as supreme truth. I respect yours and John's view on this so try to do the same. Thanks!

The endless SD vs non SD discussion

Aren't there enough topics dedicated for that? I know we have at least two in our forum.
I don't agree with you John in the case of dud mines analogy. As you know, i started to change my playing style to a more aggressive play, just for the fun of it. But i used to built my whole strategy around SD: like deciding from the first move if a game will reach SD or not and adjusting my resources accordingly.
It is indeed like the river card in a texas hold'em poker So you have to react properly and it is the ''card'' that changes all, so there is another variable you must take into account. It means that it will make the game even more complex that it already is ... which explains why also other players like Dario or Mablak think that it is indeed part of strategy and advanced planning techniques.

SPW! You're on-line ... let's play
