no, I didn't get mad about it. I asked you pointedly about it. Cuz yes this was his first fight, however, at the time you posted the attributes for Chalk & Kruze, it was 89XP there was one card prior to this that they missed, that's where the 90th XP point came from then this loss made it 91XP. So you got to keep this one as per what we agreed and what we negotiated because he fought for you in this fight; you were only going to give me 89XP at first. Sorry if you feel negotiating is me getting mad at you bro, but really, that's not my problem.
