In some situations the best defense is good offense. Note that in this case the losing alliance put up 171 points. I don't think there have been many losing scores that high in Stronghold, so far. Anyway, there was a bit more defense played in the MIKEN semis.
Congratulations to the #2 alliance, led by the Comets. Congratulations also to Code Red on another well deserved DCA.
The Average Joes had a blast at East Kentwood, as we did last year. Great job by the host team Red Storm, the entire volunteer corps, and especially FTA Ellen and Head Ref Nikki. We look forward to coming back again in the future, and to seeing several of the MIKEN teams ten days from now at States.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
