The Jitters, I Have Them
So, Dragonmaster was a thing.
And I did not win. But I did not win by 0.01 points, so... I don't know, it's hard to be mad that I missed by that margin, because that is damn close. Of course, there was also only the two of us competing. And, then again, one of my entries was best in show, so I guess that works.
Got some good comments, should help me plan for Olympiad.
Would help if they had posted rules for Olympiad. I kinda need to know how many entries I need.
Also, I am somewhat panicing about Olympiad. I mean, I can be realistic about this, and my chances of winning are pretty aweful. This is the best of the best, the biggest of the big. And right now, I keep coming in second or third to people in-state. Now, my odds of beating people in state for Olympiad is, weirdly, better (assuming they stick to some of the prior years rules) because there is also a fighting component to your score, and I fight way better (read: at all) than they do. Mostly. Maybe 1-2 people who do fight and craft, and are better than me at fighting and on par more or less with me on crafting. I guess I'm hoping to do best overall for Westmarch.
And if I ended up placing, that would also be magical.
I am overthinking this. Possibly. But I need to start working.
... Olympiad is in October, and I am already this worked up about it.
It's going to be a long year.
