I like Smith, but did not realize how incredibly under-developed she is when I made this fight. She was so far out of her league, Paige might has well have been dancing on the moon, literally, with the stars. I hope to never see this again, as Smith is probably, realistically, a better fighter than Paige. Paige has gusto, but Smith is tough and has better skills and training. In real life at least. I think.

I even knew it the moment you booked it lol

[The Sandmen]

Then you should have upgraded Smith.

I was going to put the 3 points I have into her when I came on this morning, but you'd already started the sim. So whatever... it is, what is is.

[The Rocketmen]

I forget who I picked for this one too, but good for Paige. Not going to discredit her win, she did what she needed to do.

[The Sandmen]

I'll discredit her win. YOUR WIN HAS NO CREDIT, PAIGE!

There. Fucking said it. Someone had to.

[The Rocketmen]

Poor Paige. Hopefully she gets to sign some autographs. I'd hate to see another Sad Virgil on our hands.

[The Sandmen]

LONELY VIRGIL IS THE BEST THING ON THE INTERNET. Start a Lonely Virgil thread, just so we have one here. My god, that is funny.

[The Rocketmen]

On it like things that rhyme with on it.

[The Sandmen]

Like Lonely Virgil...bonnet?

[The Rocketmen]

Works for me.
