Thanks. It's funny, of the six character KOs (record low? if not it's gotta be close), five of them were against, err, "me", heh. Rather fitting that Utna managed to live up to his immortal namesake. Maybe people were expecting me to give "myself" the biggest attack power towards the end?

Anywho... not too shabby. Not quite the best point average ever, but then, unless Sam decides to roll back to the original shell game system of playing, I'm not sure it's statistically possible to match bobbyliu3002's record, heh. It'd be kinda interesting to see what changes have been made to the system over the past few years; it looks like at some point, players also started out with fewer stat points, but weapons and armor weren't as expensive, seemingly? Dunno if that'd be worth noting in the rinkipedia pages, which, btw, cool stuff there.

I just hope Alexfrog doesn't stay away for too long though. I still want that rematch; he beat me twice earlier this year, the second time for his sixth tournament win. Guess I'll just have to keep on fighting until he comes back to defend his records. See you next month...
