...I've got a bad feeling about that. I'm going to take a wild guess and assume Conqueror's lost.

Nope, just a guess. I assumed by the tone that'd be the case, so I thought that could be well a reason for the "few other things". Like Nick said, just preparing for if that is the case- basically avoiding getting my hopes up, you know?

I'm not trying to start anything up, if anything I'm trying to prevent it by being all surprised by the result.

Just saw the results of the Final...


...and yeah, just as I expected. Except somehow, I did worse than last time. At least a minor improvement in terms of performance would have been nice.

You got to the final, though, and got two more into the playoffs. That's an improvement over your last season, and it's the same overall result as me. I beat SoE during the season, this time SoE managed to get the win. It just means you're getting steadily stronger with your strategies on the whole, and coming up with gradually better designs. Next time you should hopefully do better.

Just don't worry about it man, you reached a final, that's good. Your improving and getting further in the CFL world. I mean look at me for example, my trophy cupboard for championships was practically bare (Other than 2 minor tournament titles) Just persevere and keep on trucking and you'll get there man.

Thanks, guys. Of course I can't help but feel a bit bummed by it, but I've been getting better, improving my designs, and all of my robots won something, so there's that to be happy for. That, and the Pitcher of Sangria beating Phantasmic as I'd hoped, too. :cool:


And of course, Conqueror and Mamba are also in LORE, so I still have another shot at success with them, which is good to know. :v:

Still, there is one thing I don't understand. Having now checked, Kody hadn't modified his RP at all, whilst I'd completely rewritten mine to generally improve on my original, at the very least not involving driving into the Lifter like an idiot like last time.

I'm not trying to change anything, but just out of curiosity, how did I do worse than last time?

I'd say your tactic of whizzing round to get him was kind of a hit and miss sort of thing, it could more have likely backfired than worked.

OK. Still can't help but feel quite glum about it all, though- particularly considering Kody also won the HW Division. One title for each of us would've been fantastic.

Believe me, I'm quite surprised by it. Maybe I'm still a pessimist. <_<
