So I’m sitting at 365% now and if I haven’t hit VVW by this time, I’m going to change my name to Rene Bisson and start drinking heavily because this would just be an insane kind of Rene game to play. Fortunately/Unfortunately I see that I have indeed hit VVW. Good that I know that I’ve a chance to win this game and bad because now I have to see if the WORLD UNITES to stop me from doing what I want to do.
One of the interesting thing about doing this kind of case study in retrospect is that you can look at your mistakes and think to yourself “What a schmuk!”
Made more headway on the Ottoman and captured 135. Hey! The French took 147. And I was hoping that I’d be able to get it just to be able to make all movies in Hollywood be out sync and have to have small subtitles that hurt the eyes. Oh well. Better an ally than an enemy take it. With some concerns I plot my next orders.
