Yeah, about Russia, let me explain that. Well, the flight didn't exactly help me much. It pretty much took a full day to fly there, that's why I was inactive, and the time difference pretty much lost me an extra 12 hours. Des might understand with how he was traveling a lot. I didn't really advertise that I was in Russia because I was truthfully scared everyone would flip out on me because of IP changes and a lot of weird stuff.

Through those 36 hours, I guess a lot of stuff happened, and I really lost track of what was going on, but the time difference and jet lag really screwed me over. I had no idea what to do, and it didn't exactly help that the deadline was at 4 am. In a way, jet lag did help me a bit because I couldn't sleep for weeks (I had a rather bad case) which probably was the only reason I still managed to submit stuff.

'''Are you upset that your trip ruined your game? '''

Well yes, rather very. My mom literally dropbombed the trip at me, and we ended up going earlier than expected. I probably could've gotten a lot further, because I usually have a lot of time on my hands, but in Russia, I had to deal with getting my passport and getting bullshitted by pretty much everyone in the entire country for weeks. I couldn't get on the internet as much as I'd have enjoyed, so I couldn't try as hard as I usually do in the challenges. And the timing was horrible, what was day for me was night for most of my allies, so I could rarely talk to them. And then I wasn't on Ponderosa much because my internet decided that it wanted me to pay for it. So yeah. xD

'''Also if you didn't go on your trip, would thing have changed for the better or worse? '''

Better for sure. I'm a strong player, everyone knows that, and a huge strategizer, and I had plans that the trip definitely messed up. If I hadn't gone to Russia, I would've had a better social game and definitely a better physical game than I ended up having. And my internet connection would've been more stable, instead of having the constant fear of omfg omfg omfg omfg omfg i might not have internet tomorrow don't disqualify me!!! Des might get it, again. xD
