It's just so painful to watch Tomack stumble so badly in R9 when he could have made it :( What's worse the conundrum referenced what happened in R8 too! Oh well...

I thought you said you wouldn't be back on the forum for ages after the COC?

I just said inactive but it doesn't stop me from popping by once in a while, and yes by that I also meant I only have time to be on the Daily Chat on Apterous on Mondays as that's the only day I'm free to watch it live.

Fair enough. Always good to have you on here and the daily chat.

If Adam plays like he did today, despite the nervy start, then I would say that a double octochamp run would not be out of question. Unholiest was a cracking 9 and Carriage was a good spot too. Also thought Tomack was quite decent too, despite the score gap.

From the 9 onwards he was decent. It seemed to be a turning point.

Some might say... a breakaway!

(Actually, I suppose Ryan already did.)
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.
