Joined 3 games of Pogo.com Risk today. Started with crap in each (the games were already started and I had little to work with). But I felt rather coldly lethal today (Skeeter anniversary) AND fortune smiled on me. I lost one game that was dragged out to a hard end and then one the other two from way behind against higher-rated players.
I can assure you, THAT does not happen often. So I think I will stop playing and rest on my laurels. Not that laurels are all THAT soft to rest on.
