0.500
Well, I finally did it. Yes, write my first blog, but that's not 'it'. I managed to get my record back to an even 0.500 at 61/43/61. At some point, which I can't recollect now, I decided to set myself the goal of getting back to an even win/loss. Almost immediately, I knew it was a big mistake, but being the person I am I could not ignore the goal I had set for myself. So I picked (as much as a coach of my caliber can)in Ranked, picked in FFB testing, and played the min/max game in Box, always hoping to get those 'easy' opponents. And I hated myself for doing it. I even tried to stop, making an Ogre team and playing two games with them, but I got scared to use them as I got within a game or two of the magical mark.

So what now? Well, I feel a weight has been lifted and I am resigning myself to not set any more goals, save one; I will play for fun and enjoyment, trying ever so hard to not look at my w/l/d or that of the prospective opponent.

See you on the pitch!

One thing a goal like that can help with is learning to play to the end, going down swinging if need be. You'll occasionally pull out an unexpected win that way.

I'll still play games until the end, trying my best to win, but I am going to focus on having fun. I hate players who concede or give up down some players or TDs.

I go down swinging all the time. Doesn't seem to be improving my coaching skills!

Halflings and Goblins don't have much reach...
