Hearty congratulations are in order to Former Trout, who has led the Space Quest janitors and burger counter clerks to a devastating 32-sc solo!!!
Only 30 sc were needed to win, and picking up a whopping 4 in the last year made all the difference – netting Trout his first solo in the club.
This is also the first ever solo in one of my FOW games, and as such Trout gets the trophy for first solo in a Fog game, and I do have to say he also gets the honors of best stab in a fog game for his devastating move on Warren early on – taking 5 centers over 2 years, almost completely unseen and unstoppable by the defender. I guess to be fair we can also award Warren the best stabbed.
STEVE: You have to confirm the retreat of Caladan-Ecaz, since it determines the final SC counts.

Quick recap of the game to help y’all with EOG’s which I know are all forthcoming:
First out was Eric, going into Civil Disorder pretty early on. Year 3 it was.
Next out was Hamish, a year after… hit early on by Eric, and then when he disappeared, was finished off by Trout.
Then the game went into overdrive, and nobody else was taken out until year 9, when we saw Trout’s explosive growth at the expense of Warren.
After this it was year 12 when Felix was finally polished off by Steve, Garry, and Fletch
And that leaves us where we are now, after 16 years played, and a 280-day game! 1 winner, 5 survivors, and 4 that didn’t make it to the end.
