I saw something beautiful today.

This is just to let you know that I saw some beautiful players on our server this afternoon right before the Superbowl -- and well, a little bit of the first part of it.

We were on a MoM, led by @letroy. There were maybe 6 or 7 +3s, but the rest were unshifted and +1.

Ordinarily, I would just absolutely cringe at the idea of doing a MoM with unshifted folks - but we had done a baf - and I was on my emp - and it was so easily done, I got to use my secondary a good bit, something that ordinarily doesn't happen that often on an iTrial.

So, we decided to do a MoM. The first phase was just as ugly as you could hope for. At one point, there were only 5 people still alive.

I was on my emp called Confidence, and Confidence in the league on my side of the screen was definitely wavering. But, somehow, we got past Lanaruu, who is just about the worst GM a league can get. after that, it got progressive smoother.

This league was just amazing in their resilience. No complaining, everyone seemed to be doing their level headed best to avoid the pink.

One member was spamming warnings about the pink at 5 seconds away - which was much appreciated.
All were doing what they could.

For a pug group of largely unshifted and undershifted toons, it really was a beautiful thing.

The same thing happened Friday on the UGT led by @nights blood.

A league that I would have never thought would succeed - struggled, but persisted anyway.

Hang in there folks, there are still some solid players about! So glad I came across some new names that played well.
