It's a decent article, and accurately sums up my feelings about the game in the section about burned-out gamers. I just haven't quit gaming quite yet, but I have no doubt it can be far behind.

Wouldnt the game be more interesting if we both brought 'optimal' lists?

No.

Whats interesting about playing yet another identi-kit list that has been posted, disected and mathmatically analysed to the Nth degree 10000 times on various internet sites.

If you ask me for a game where you want to test out such a list before a tourney you are entering, then sure I'll look at putting up a counter list up for you to have a go against. But for general gaming I want an interesting list that I'm unlikely to see anyone else playing (locally at least).

I suppose you're right.

Something has always struck me wrong about the superbowl every year. I'd much rather see two of the losing teams playing it out the last game of the season.

Wouldn't make any difference, even the losers seem to bring the same lists as the winners, I mean do you not get bored of seeing the same old 1 QB, 1 C, 2OG 2OT etc.
