	We were then just waiting out the clock. The last chance for icer to hit 3x and nomad 4x came and went. Cheshire had been snooping on mcgeeal and his 5:4 was really quite close on him. We were worried Jerry might try to raze for a sui hit to deny us the win. Earlier, we were thinking about snaring Cheshire when he went for a 9hr, but he’s suddenly back in EG, taking our numbers in range from 9 to 6, but he can’t even BF anymore which is awful for him. War also could get mcgeeal LB’d, so would be an epic fail if he got spells up. Then I noticed he barely had enough mana to cast both OP and DP spells (59k/54k). So we just robbed him blind (down to 22k). Now he can’t cast Favorable Terrain for a while and mcgeeal is safe from suicides and suicide razes. A few hours later, Cheshire was able to magically steal a ton of mana and get both spells on, but mcgeeal ~~got~~ a little DP in by then. It was still very close with a raze for a few hours. It would come down to draftees, so mcgeeal is investing and watching surreal to release just in case. Loki #13 [King Jota] ended up assassinating about 1000 draftees, but it wasn’t enough and mcgeeal had the fortitude to keep from releasing.		We were then just waiting out the clock.

I'd like to think that this play saved the win, but who knows.

Loki #13 [King Jota] ended up assassinating about 1000 draftees, but it wasn’t enough and mcgeeal had the fortitude to keep from releasing when it wasn't needed.

	Nobody ended up sending… ever, except for Lud who suicided a random guy in #5 for some reason, adding a level of excitement to the final day. Mcgeeal takes the win (first time ever that a non-packed player has done so). I’m really glad that it didn’t all go to waste. We had a really amazing realm and everyone contributed. Props to mdk and neophyte (and their realms) for playing fantastic rounds as well.

	Next, #8 spirit [zooj] made an attack that would send him into Merf and Bobbo's range. There was an additional round of Discord drama here. The Rules Committee took away his generated land, preventing him from going into Bobbo's range ~40k underdefended. Bobbo decided to take a war BF on #8 [Crazy Elf] to express his unhappiness in the ruling.		Next, #8 spirit [zooj] made an attack that would send him into Merf and Bobbo's range.

	Bobbo decided to bottomfeed and deconvert. Merf finally got his hit on Rio. Lud continued to grow, making 2 hits in 2 days. The second hit was after a very poor converting dwarf in #12 sent for the first time and was crushed 5x [Yeeeoow]. Michelangelo #6 [Neophyte] was first in and it propelled him into a good position. Meanwhile, Lud made a huge hit on the #13 undead [jdh]. At some point, both Cheshire #13 [mdk] and Johnny Bravo #8 [Gothia] were able to enter my range and suddenly I needed like 30k more defense, basically killing my chances for a win. If I had been more engaged during this part of the round, I would have bottomfed to escape his range again. I trained a little defense, but then pulled the plug and went back to training 5:4.

	For several rounds now I had been wanting to run the 850a FW strat after seeing playt0i try it twice (~~Canon~~ Strike & Desert Eagle). Typically I get so busy with dev duties that I neglect my sim, but this time I had been working on the sim off and on as early as the lull between rounds 35 and 36. I thought FW looked pretty good in the test round. The factory changes were really tough on FW though, because of their lumber penalty, so for the first time in ages I was forced to build lumber yards in protection. The plan was to hit whatever I could at +24 and then try to make the biggest possible grab at +36.

	Lud decided to play with us again this round (thankfully), but Vinn went looking for greener pastures. So we asked Bobbo to come back home to replace him. They're both great packies. Lud is indispensable for keeping tabs on everyone and running calcs all throughout the day. Bobbo has the mettle to play super fast and can always be online at the right time for a hit, sleep be damned.

	With our realm taking an early lead, I started taking notes around the end of the first week. I wrote some of it as things were happening and some of it days after, so excuse my mixing and matching of tenses. It's very TL:DR. I also reversed the order of the copy pasta from the town crier because I hate reading backwards... upwards?.
