Re: 301 points! and could have done more

Congrats to the winning alliance! I would expect to see slightly more defense played at the World Championship, though

If nothing else, at least a few people might be looking a the game a little differently today, than they were last week. I'll let you decide if that's a good thing or not.
I would have asked for some sort of approval from HQ prior to this, team consent is one thing, but my worry is the McDonald's French Fry effect - keeping every event the same.


Edit: Overall, I like the idea - I just want to make sure it was executed correctly with the appropriate parties involved.
