Skip as I was just looking at the difference between myself and
Boro, but now as you say it... yeah, we would have ended up equal in the lead had Aredhel assisted one goal in the final.
Well, there are different
ifs... like
if Aredhel assisted one goal like she did in every game but the first where she scored instead, or
if Ar Pharazôn made a hat-trick (before the final he had 50% ratio of scoring one or not scoring at all)
and if he was chosen as your captain... The first one is something that could be said would have been highly probable and the second one would have been far from it.
I just couldn't be not mentioning that fact when I realised how "close" the contest was even if the numbers themselves would say it was a clearcut deal...
But I see what you mean and you're quite right indeed. An
if is always an
if - even if there are different
ifs. And that's fine - well what else but fine could it be?
As I said congrats once more, and thanks for some really entertaining writing!
And let it be said here publicly as well: good stuff
the phantom! That was excellently organised tournament! You made our (
Skip's and mine) life easy with our writing by being both supporting and flexible - and always on time or ahead of it.
Two things I have learned to appreciate here in the 'Downs are the personal commitment to do what one has promised to do and to do it on time promised + taking things through to the end and not leaving them unfinished. You never failed
tp but looked this through beautifully. *bows*
