Nuh-uh. I've had experience writing about and personifying dragons. I know them inside and out, personality-wise, and regard that all the more. You only think you know them by reading a few books, but since I've read and written about them, I understand them more, through-and-through. That gives me claim over you.
Aw, that stinks. And yeah, I know the feeling. It's painful to think that you could've done more, but in the end, you did what you did. I'm sure you did pretty well to have only lost by 2, but it does sting to lose by such a small amount. I could give you the whole "it's just a game" lecture, but I know that sometimes it is more than just a game. You just have to forget about it and prepare to win the first game next season.
Nicole, that Remlits thread wasn't about what happened to the species. It was about what happened to the ones near the Goddess Statue. Game design doesn't come into play there. (Not really.)
