Ouch. Kay, so Miriam dominated round 1, and then became exhausted. So she did NOTHING effective in round 2, despite Eye being close to finished. Eye did less, so she lost that round anyways. Then Miriam got some stamina back by Round 3, and dominated that somewhat effectively, then gassed again. Round 4 was the same as 2. Then 5 was kinda a wash of some effectiveness, some ineffectiveness and lots of no-stamina-ness.

Ouch. Kay, so Miriam dominated round 1, and then became exhausted. So she did NOTHING effective in round 2, despite Eye being close to finished. Eye did less, so she lost that round anyways. Then Miriam got some stamina back by Round 3, and dominated that somewhat effectively, then gassed again. Round 4 was the same as 2. Then 5 was kinda a wash of some effectiveness, some ineffectiveness and lots of no-stamina-ness.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
