All the winning alliance captains of every other event are not looking for poor 330 knockoffs; they're looking for your best effort to meet alliance strategy needs.
I would like to amend this with, if your goal is to make it to Einstein someday, someday you'll have to reach for the stars. It's just that the stars get a lot closer when you spent the offseason developing a rocketship.

Cheers, Bryan
