I was trying to shrewdly compliment you by suggesting that your approach was judicious and diplomatic, favoured traits of a moderator. Referring to our recent game and your ruthless annihilation of myself, I was hinting that there are also some sharp claws and teeth behind the ball of fur. I am sure however, that neither Eric nor myself, would have to face the Chaos Creature.
Although an attempt to create some light hearted banter, there is a serious note in Eric’s original posting, which is that both Jonaron’s and Quiet Man’s playing styles are worth studying.
SL-Mark: Thank you! Indeed I saw how you managed to bundle quite some compliments in one sentence in that post and I felt very honoured .
Trying to be a friendly person in daily life, it feels good to be as ferocious as I can on the battelfield . The thing I like best about espionage is that you can agressively attack with weak pieces, as long as you are capable to keep them unidentified.
I don't know about 'worth studying', but to tie it back to another recent thread . . .if someone plays slow enough we are both a risk to time-out. In the past that was only an effective strategy against me (and sometimes against Jozsef). If it now works against jonaron it may catch on with more people. :)
