> ... that I'm still surviving in the current Monster Arena. This is the third tournament I've participated in (first was in May), and I feel like I've done the worst so far in this tournament since I've on several occasions forgotten to log in and set my strategy/buy/sell (I've lost four prelim matches due to this), and yet this is the first time I've gotten past the 2nd elimination round, much less to the quarterfinals! What surprised me even more was that last night I faced off against the person who was ranked #1, and I was ranked dead last of those left alive, and I won that too! I'm facing off against the new #1 tonight, and I'm certain I'm going to lose even more so than last night.

I mean, what if I had actually set a strategy and used my extra points in those matches I neglected? I might have won some of them and I would have been even better off! Aargh!

I personally can't believe that the month I complain about never having made it past the round of 16 is the month that I actually do make it past the round of 16. If that was all I had to do, why didn't I think to do it before?
