    When you come in second by just one point, you tend to replay the
scenario in your mind a bit.  When you have to drive home from the con,
you
have some time to think. <g>  I thought about that, too.  I don't want
to go
into too much detail, since Keith may want to run this scenario again
some
time.  But if I had to do things over again, I would have ignored the
possibility of a "diplomatic incident," and taken a bit more immediate
action. <g>
    At any rate, "Retort" was the best finish I've ever had in a game of
Full Thrust, so I can't complain.  Coming in second by a single point,
to a
quality player like Aaron isn't exactly a poor showing.  I would have
been
ecstatic had I been able to pull off a close second in any of my
previous FT
games, instead of the usual outcome.  I've gotten to the point where I
now
bring a bowling ball bag to FT games.  It helps when I have to carry my
head
back home. <g>
