The point is to practice grading and learn something. That's still the case. Tell you what - I'm going to draw a name at random from the bottom 50 after the competition has finished and send them a prize. So keep playing.

OK, I wasn't going to post this, but since the topic is out there, here is a statistical breakdown of the first four rounds. The 'easy to spot in the census' books are in brown. The 'hard/impossible to spot' in green. The blue is a normal distribution of the number of players and a fitted standard deviation (in non-wonk speak, it's what you'd expect from honest guesses). There are about 100 more bulls than you'd expect. I think it will look much worse after round 5. This is really disappointing, and shows disrespect to Andy and Shin, who work hard to put together a fun contest.

I wouldn't like it as a 3.5 either.

This just in. A beautiful copy of an Australian FH reprint. This is a page from a very odd (and not very good story). Two pilots are almost killed in a crash. Death comes to collect them but there is only a reservation for one (what the?) so the two spirits watch their squadrons duke it out, with the winner to survive and the loser to die. The score at the end is 8-9 (which sounds like a pretty bad day at the office for both squadrons, I'd have thought). I won't tell you if the American or German wins...

Please don't ever sell me a 2.0

Wow, that got a 2.0

Every now and then something catches my eye in the LCS. I found this in the $1 bin. Why did I care...? Eh, just because:
