OLM Bastille Day

In Response To: OLM Bastille Day (Stick)

After the automatic 25/22*, I see three options: 24/23, 22/21, and 9/8.

Often 24/23 is right but that is typically because there are guns pointed at the back checker(s). Stick's trigger finger is hampered by being on the bar.

For me the question is between 22/21 and 9/8. The latter takes pressure off of our blots -- good because we're outboarded. ("Try not to be vulnerable on both sides of the board." And it's consistent with Magriel's SvB criteria.) OTOH, we have no new points which makes many future rolls uncomfortable if all the builders we have are stacked on the 6- and 8-points.

We had a somewhat similar situation in the GoL OLM about 10 days ago and leaving the extra blot was wrong by 0.07. I need to review that to see how different things were, but in the meantime I'll wimp.

9/8.
