...my...God.
I had forgot this thread happened until the GDR trade went up, and Austin and Poison reminded me of my harsh, harsh words. I was like, Damnit, I need to power-upgrade Tate, as I forgot about this and did not remember any of it. I certainly did not remember my dink-swinging threat (I had intended fully to not have to worry about it and to trade Tate after that fight. Then I forgot. Then today, I was like, I only have 14 points, and I can’t do shit with 14 points vs. GDR, so fuck it – Johnny Walker it is. So…just wow.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
