rpf289: feel*

ToT)Strafe(: ehm hmm

ToT)Strafe(: not so special i guess

ToT)Strafe(: i mean i just considered him a very skillfull player

ToT)Strafe(: it did not bring anything extra to it that he was a progamer

rpf289: i see.

rpf289: if i remember correctly, you went robo before goon games 1-3.

rpf289: was there any strategy to opening the same all three games?

ToT)Strafe(: : )

ToT)Strafe(: anyway

ToT)Strafe(: yeah ofcourse theres a strategy to it

ToT)Strafe(: at nostalgia i just consider it a very good opening

ToT)Strafe(: because well dunno it just is

ToT)Strafe(: ;p

ToT)Strafe(: and at dahlia i practised reaver drop

ToT)Strafe(: for wcg

ToT)Strafe(: so i just did it again

ToT)Strafe(: and yeah i thought he would assume i'd make obs again

ToT)Strafe(: instead of reaver

ToT)Strafe(: and he did

ToT)Strafe(: so that kinda worked out

ToT)Strafe(: and i play luna the same as nostalgia

rpf289: yes the game on dahlia was rape bc of that reaver.
