Your kitchen is too clean… where’s the refrigerator magnets?

Great picture! Although some A&A players may have an urge to dominate the world, this cat has found an interesting way to do this quite literally: by lying on top of it.

You should tell the whole community about the SPY who was sent to your house to unravel our strategis for the TG6CON tournament.
EXPOSE the truth!

Well, he might be a spy… might not be… but might be… although I tend to be paranoid… but I am often right… so…
Here is the chronology of events:
- On August 17, YG posted a youtube video called “Tournament Essentials - FAQ & other stuff” and he mentioned my name and my partner Gargantua.
- On August 19, someone created a new account at axisandallies.org, then within an hour he found me and PMd he asking if we might get together for a game and maybe start a local group. A few PMs back and forth and we agreed to a game.
- On Sept 2 we met at my house and played a couple rounds of Global. He seemed very interested in our tournament strategy, especially that of my partner, who is a much more senior player than I am (Would Gargantua play Germany or Japan, do we like to do India crush, do we like cobra kai, etc.). He seemed fuzzy on some the rules, and explained that he and his son used to play Global and are thinking of getting back into it so he was watching the videos online about the game and heard my name then contacted me.
- no contact since
- Today (Sept 6), I checked his stats on the site and at the time of writing he has 0 posts, and was last active on Sept 2 at 7:10pm official axis and allies time (which is late at night my time). He listed his home as being several hour from where I live, so one might speculate that he drove home and logged on once to report back the intelligence to his superiors.
-
Now just in case he was indeed a spy and got his hands on our secret master plan, it is only fair to all the other teams so they can have it too. So here it is recounted from when I first posted it way back on March 22, 2013:
“If you do a G1 with tank/mech builds you can hold Belarus on G3. Now suppose Japan were to build 2 bombers J1, then an airbase in Chahar J2. They could SBR Moscow and land in Belarus as early as round 3. Do it again round 4. Moscow falls G6.”

Not exactly a new strategy, but it is fun.
Enjoy. :-)

Whereas the cat is just fuzzy in the plain old sense. :)

I think you’re just being paranoid but who knows. It could be the guy signed up cuz he was looking for someone to play.
It doesn’t really matter anyway, even if your opponent knew what strategy you were using they would still have to stop you. The quality of players there will be such that they will probably recognize what you are doing as soon as you start doing it. I’m assuming that my opponents have seen my strategy videos and are smart enough to know that, like everyone else, I don’t play the same strategy every time. Making the effort to go to your house to spy on you would be a huge waste of time.Maybe he was just using you to get to your cat. He does look like a nice kitty.
