This was not meant to amuse you.

This was meant to fill something in the spot of the most boring two weeks ever.

Anyway, Game 5, Tnam vs DET. Games on the line and last game decides winner. THOR caps for DET and Tnam has Akira cap. This has been the only game (so far) Akira has lost as a captain. Setting: Smells, FR.
Thor gets lots and lots of ghasts and doesn't max herons, which appeared to me as a solid way to lose the match for DET. Akira starts north and gets few ghasts and herons.
Akira sends slinx, seeker and himself to the west flag, while ruin, ash and myrch to defend the east flag. He throws one or two ghasts on each D flag. This is smells, remember? The one with 7 Corridors or so to cover and go up and down? Unfortunately, Akira fails to cover the largest one, mid. Evil Jake sends his 20% force on a romp all up mid, sending Team Name into disarray. They give up west completely, and leave that back flag to be taken while they attempt to catch evil jake. Meanwhile, Myrch and Ruin attempt to push the East Corridor that's to the left of the Library, leaving Asharak home to defend.
He insists

but he fails to remember that alas, he barely has any control at all, he's just playing a game, and that game is one of the biggest games of numbers, chance and luck. That game is myth.
And so, Evil Jake takes the other two remaining Team Name back flags, and proceeds to 3. But Asharak has that under control, right? Or does he have as much control as we do in the faith that our cars will start in the morning before we go to work; or as much control that our heart will keep pumping through the night. Asharak, my friends, is a control freak. Such a control freak, that he believes he has control over something he's been with for the past 7 years, in the fact that he feels that the decisions the game makes are actually his own.
But he is quite wrong. Evil Jake makes his charge through a narrow corridor, hoping to go right straight to asharaks flag without even a scratch.

Asharak, however, is waiting, with a dwarf and a puss. But remember, it's not really his dwarf and puss, for he has no control, because if Asharak had control, I don't think he'd let something like this happen.

It's safe to say, the game was over pretty fast after that.

So who really is at fault here? Akira, for not getting a mid and filling up the holes? or Asharak, for putting too much faith in a system that has been proven again and again to not come through when it's needed most. But maybe, that's all of our problems. Maybe we need to stop before things are out of control, don't get me wrong, things already are, we put too much faith in machines and weathermen in our daily lives. I'm saying we need to stop putting so much faith in things before there's that point where everything, in thier one out of a millionth chance, stops functioning, and we will be left, like our friend Asharak. Left to rust in the milk that we've been fed.
