League Night Recap for 11/26/24
We had the last qualifying night of Season 18 two days before Thanksgiving, which probably accounts for it being a slightly smaller turnout than usual. Some of the bad luck we had with games in the last two banks continued. Joseph had his score suddenly jump by 160 million points just by flipping a few…

League Night Recap for 11/12/24
November 12 was our seventh night of the season and the beginning of our final bank rotation. Bank 8 is always used to finish up anything that hasn’t been played yet in the season, and then the remainder is decided by vote. We had very few votes this time, but the clear winner was Jaws,…

League Night Recap for 10/22/24
It’s been a tough week, so this is going to have to be a very short league report. Our last league night was actually three weeks ago due to our returning to the previous calendar pattern of 2nd and 4th Tuesdays. Sorry, I know it makes for long gaps sometimes, but it makes it easier…

League Night Recap for 10/8/24
Joseph and I showed up for the last league night to find a surprise: our Uncanny X-Men LE was in! This caused a sudden change of plans as we like to always use a new game for our Tuesday Night Smackdown, so our original pick of Indiana Jones got bumped. Don’t worry, Indy fans, we’ll…

League Night Recap for 9/24/24
We wrapped up the second rotation of banks on September 24 and that brought us to the halfway point of Season 21. After a very under-attended night the previous time, several of the missing players returned. We were relieved to find we that Ethan had not scared everyone away. We are still sad to be…

League Night Recap for 9/10/24
We started a new bank rotation with our third league night of Season 21 on September 10, between Corvus (“The Crow”) and Perseus (“The Guy Named Perseus”). We were back to Tuesday after a couple of Wednesday night meetings. It turned out to be a very long night for some of us, in large part…

Anyone wearing a costume or Halloween gear will get an extra $2 donated to the Capital Area Humane Society for them by me, your TD. The 9-hole course…

League Night Recap for 8/28/24
We had our second meeting of the season, and our last on a Wednesday, on August 28. This was a hectic meeting for me because it was also a work day, my semester having started that week. I rushed over, exhausted, after quickly eating something at home and found everyone waiting for me to arrive.…
