I've worked so hard so far to build this rating, it's really frustrating to watch it dissipate for no good reason.

I forsee many cries of anguish when people attempt to unshield and lose 200 points.

I am rolling with 141 Spidey, 141 Hulk, and 141 IM40. The best team to be running in this tourney would be to swap out IM40 for GSBW, but mine is at 3 green, so is not an option for me. I'm loathe to discuss my entire strategy right now as I'm watching my lead disappear, but suffice to say for now (as Nemek did earlier) that anyone towards the top has made liberal use of shields along the way. I'll be happy to elaborate more once the event is over.

The confederates continue to advance - their supply lines continue to provide them with 10-20 point ammunition, while I sit behind cover with no bullets. I have not been able to find a bullet in 7 hours now, and I fear that my imminent demise is at hand. Johnny Rebel has cut my lead to 15 points from 80+, and at least 3 of his compatriots are now within 50 points of my fortifications. With bullets, I would have been able to advance my position on the hill, but as it stands now, I must watch as the sea of grey soldiers marches inexorably towards me. Most of my carefully saved resources have gone into this battle, but I do have a small cache of HP set aside to provide for you and our beautiful daughter Lizbeth. If you are reading this in time, please contact our dear friend dp3support to see if the tide of this battle can be turned, or at least made fair. I believe in the cause that I am fighting for, but my biggest regret is that I will not be there to see our young wonder win her first Black Widow cover, or attend the fall PvE fair in the meadowgrounds with you again. My heart swells with pride and ISO to think that you will carry on my name with dignity and composure. All my love, Beauregarde

I feel like I have a reputation here for taking things with an even keel, so I hope that factors in. I'm now beginning to see seed teams in my matchmaking. Just skipped ChopStuck. By the time this is done I will have sunk half my HP bankroll into this event, and I don't know if I'm inclined to keep playing if the resources I've spent months building up and the intense effort I've put into this tourney are flushed down the toilet by this. What was initially a daunting and exciting challenge has turned into helpless ennui. Again, my apologies, but needed to get that off my chest.
