CLOSING STATEMENT
Well, it's finally over! 3rd place is truly something to be proud of, especially for my first-ever SYWTBAI!
To be honest, I am slightly disappointed only because I seriously thought I could get second place, which would've been even more impressive, but I understand that my strategic moves post-merge rubbed some people the wrong way. That was never my intention. I honestly didn't believe I had the creative capacity to compete with all you talented players without some kind of strategy, which has been more my forte. Those were my thoughts at the time I made those decisions, but now I think I have the creative capacity to fully compete with anyone on this forum with little to no strategy now. Perhaps I just need more experience, but that's ok. I'm willing to learn more and do more! I've accepted the results with enthusiasm and I'm really happy for Outbound and S&S! I hope my presence in this competition will be remembered as a positive influence on the events that have transpired these last four months, and I once again thank Tiki and Jokers for hosting this year!
I'm really excited for 2000, and I can't wait to see how I do there, but for now I'll focus on my school studies and my EPCOT project until that starts up.
Also, I'll definitely be back to attempt a win in SYWTBAI 20 next year!
