Re: pic: Uber 3.0

Here's my logic on the gearing:

If you gear for high speed, and can play the game very well:
- Defenders will come block you
- If you only have 16ft/s as an option, the defenders will succeed in blocking you most of the time
- If you can push through the defense via a low gear, you will be a power house.

If you gear for high speed, and can play the game decently enough for a 2nd pick:
- Defenders may not block you
- You can do cross-field 'under the radar' things, such as carrying a specific shape for an alliance this year. Game dependent though (wouldn't work in 09/10)

Thus, IMO, single-speed gearing for high speed is a risk and a tradeoff. The decision is inconclusive until the game is announced, yet the great thing about single speed gearboxes is that they're easily adjustable.
