It's a new year and time for new things. One of the things I want to accomplish in 2013 is to take CC less seriously, have more fun in the game, and be nicer to others in the game. I guess that starts with Lupo, because I've been pretty verbally hard on him for a few months now, and it is time to make peace and move on. Granted, he hits me regularly, but that's the game. On the other hand trash talk gets too serious and personally insulting at times, and I have been guilty of that with Lupo. So I apologize for that and for targeting other Indians at times when I was simply mad at Lupo.
This has gone on way too long. Lupo, is a heck of a fighter, and his persistence and loyalty to his friends has earned my respect. True, he beat me like a drum, but I shouldn't have made it personal, especially because I don't factually know anything about him. Some of his friends have told me he's a reasonable guy, and he's proven himself to be just that in the discussions we've had over the last few days.
Thanks to Trev for his sound counsel some weeks ago and to my clan brother Alchemy for helping make this possible
