 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Great week for the usual suspects. I did kind of mediocre though thinking less recovery for the holdovers.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Awesome victory Thunder - you have turned your game around dramatically recently.
Hot streak for xia too.
Looks like another great KJ placement for TG weekend.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Congrats RT! Well deserved. Another close miss.  But at least I'm getting to the consistent level that I prefer, 4 top 5 in the last five games, and 18th top 10 of the year, a new personal best for me.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Thanks, guys!  Looks like another strong week for many KJers, and congrats to all those who did well. Should be a high scoring week coming up with 9 holdovers.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Congrats to RT on winning this weekend!! And specially all the KJers in Top 20, excellent weekend RT, xia, iGopher (haven't seen him around for sometime now), Ryu, Corpse, Omni, BJ. I went a little too much on Faster. But this was a good weekend. Second Top10 ranking for me in last 3 games that I played and 3rd overall, though the average rank is still 120

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
THUNDER BROKE THE BACK TO BACK STREAK!!! HOLY SHIT, CONGRATS! RT and xiayun have both racked up two stunning 4-game streaks, among, if not the, best two ever.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Thanks, everyone! I was sure I blew it this weekend when I saw xiayun's Warrior's Way prediction, which was outstanding. He's been crazy hot lately! A tremendous job by Proud Ryu, JackSparrow, Omni/Corpse, and many other KJers with superb scores!

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Wow RT!!!  Wonderful job, you really deserve it! And congrats Xia, too! About us, inertia is the main reason we still play the derby, after our awful September pretty much all our derby entries have been hurried and playing the game has become a 15 minutes thing to do before having breakfast/going to sleep.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Incredible job RT! The best stretch we've seen in years. I didn't actually expect to come this close again this week, especially with my high prediction on Burlesque, so it's in fact a nice surprise. And I finally could feel pretty confident about the yearly race, as long as there is wi-fi on the cruise next week.

I started kicking myself after I saw your rationale behind your WW prediction, which made perfect sense. You've been doing an outstanding job lately and I hope you have a fun and relaxing trip.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
The Warrior's Way opened so low that we won't even predict it next weekend.

Congrats Xiayun. Stunning from RT. I hope you play full year. Xiayun needs some competition.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
For the record, the back-to-back win had not occurred since Feb of 2005 when senior matatonio did it. And Thunder became the 7th player to do so. It warranted another BOM tweet.

 Re: Derby Game Discussion Thread
Thanks folks. Fantastic job by RT again. Also BJ did great. Playing whole year is a pain as its a distraction on thursday. But Xiayun needs some competition as he goes for a hat trick.
