Well, I don't play much these days, but with my recent invite to Clan Omnipotent, I decided to raise some stats on my IBox account, and start playing some more. I got into games with some noob, who either surrendered or helped kill himself each time. I then jumped kuruptx (currently of netjak). I had never met him before, and I figured any jakker could give me a good game. I used my normal, unique turt, he had a sameside anti, 3 knights and a dragon front row.
He side hit my knight, and I shot his mud with my first scout. He was content concentrating on tha knight, and in the same number of turns I had his mud dead. But I made the noob mistake of advancing my dragon too far, and he frosted and killed it relatively easily. I am now down my two high hps units, and all I have to show is his mud.
I guess I had pretty much resigned my fate at this point, but I stoned up and mounted an attack anyway. He laid back a little, probably figuring my wisp/mud/2 scouts weren't much of a threat. I flanked him a little and took a scout in for his cleric. My mud soon followed, but took a beating. I sacrificed my wisp and mud to do a cool combo on his cleric, and finished off one scout. I injured his other units, then retreated back. He has 3 knights, all high health, a frost close to full, and a dragon close to full, plus an 18 hp scout. All I have are 2 scouts, cleric, frost, stone.
I was enjoying the game by this point, learning how to play again, and I began picking off his scout and knights. Some nifty frostwork got the game close, and if his knight hadn't blocked a 60% and a 66% shot, I may have pulled out a win. But I managed to weaken his knight enough to kill it with my final scout, leaving only his dragon on the board. He pursued, killed my scout, but I knew I had already secured the draw. Considering he had a huge form advantage, first turn, and some decent blocking, I was kind of proud to come back after my early mistakes. Take a look at what happened next.

I quickly screenshotted, and by the time I made it back to the lobby he was already name-calling and complaining about the draw. I only took one screen of his chatter, but you get the idea. This went on for minutes, and I didn't even have to say much as meat had already explained the situation to him.
I was severely disappointed in this guy. The game was well-played, and he was friendly throughout. I guess the stats were just too much for him to handle, but we still drew, and he got a few out of it. I got a good laugh out of it. He obviously thought the rules had cheated him out of his win. Damn that 3-turn dragon wait, I must be a cheater.
