Our last league night saw us embarking on a rotation of our last two banks, known according to my whim as “Locke” and “Leibniz.” Despite the alliteration, as far as Enlightenment philosophy goes, you probably can’t get more opposite than Locke’s representative realism and Leibniz’s… whatever the hell the deal with the monads was. The important thing for our league is that this marked the beginning of the end of Season 24.
We had a new guest player join us, Eric’s father Dean, who expects to join the league as a regular player next season. We rigged the drawing to put him into a group with Eric for his starter LPL experience, and I just have to hope that their third player, Devon, behaved himself. (Maybe it’s just me that brings out his trash talk.) One of our previous guest players, Kathy, also returned, and says she is likely to continue in the league next season.
Our Tuesday Night Smackdown game was randomly drawn on Jaws, with the B division assigned randomly from among the nearby games as usual, this time falling on Game of Thrones. Danny won the championship on Jaws, and Joseph won the undercard.
The winner of the night on Bank 7 (Locke) was Danny, with standout games on The Simpsons and King Kong, although remember that this is only against half the league so far. On Bank 8 (Leibniz) Brian has the top spot so far, with an amazing 592 million on Indiana Jones. At our next league night tomorrow (or, technically, later tonight) we will finish banks 7 and 8 and therefore the qualifying season. Everyone is waiting eagerly to find out will get the higher seeds (and therefore more game choices) and who will make A division in this increasingly competitive league.
