Subj : Re: Apology to Silver To : All From : Kemper3 Date : Tue Jan 07 2003 02:12 pm Let me get this straight... if given a large amount of time to plan, a good player will beat a newbie immediately. However, this same newbie who can't come up with a good strategy after 30 days of planning will be able to rapidly adapt to adversity and come up with a winning strategy faster than a good team? Also, this a tournament, not the special olympics. Let those who aren't cut out for it play a different game.
