Genelle Forges Ahead
Genelle can now be referred to as GG without fear of ambiguity with the former GG who is now GW – am I making sense? Anyway, GG is this month’s most improved, overtaking Gill, Tara and Nicole to jump from equal 4th to outright 2nd place, only 55 shy of Rob’s lead. Wayne has also improved his standing from 6th to 5th by winning Uno. Mark was tonight’s host, and provided excellent hospitality (including Iced Vo-Vo bikkies!). He got 25 points for 3rd in Cosmic Control. Poor Louise WHP yet again, her losing streak is now five months old.
The main game Cosmic Control won by GG had been modified since last (and first) played in 2013, but the need for further changes became evident as play progressed. Rob has undertaken to modify the payouts for landing on one of the planets to be more aligned to the probability of the associated dice roll. Another well-liked suggestion from GG was to modify the challenge process so that a single die roll would multiply rather than add to the starfighter strength figures. It remains to be seen how these mods will affect the length of time spent sitting out the action by players who have lost their assets.
Nicole was absent due to looming work deadlines, and she is scheduled to be the next host.
UPDATE:
Wayne has since spoken to Nicole and confirmed the meeting date as Sept 25. Nicole is planning a theme to go with the backup game Sherwood…a Robin Hood theme!
