GOT SOME CARD PACKS!
Maci Gian & Valeria
Not a proper article, not a rumor either—I’m not sure if I should make a ‘personal’ section or get a Natter account one day because I’m worried about filling our News site with my ramblings—but I wanted to share that Valeria surprised me with a couple of Super League card packs!
I really appreciated it, we had a lot of fun opening them, and I think she knew I was kind of bummed about how the group interview with Toni Vern and Von Pushup went.
I don’t think I did a bad job, but it definitely wasn’t my best performance. I wasn’t as professional as I should’ve been, and truthfully, I was super overwhelmed. The group interviews I’ve been to before have been inside the stadiums themselves, where everyone’s seated, and if we wanted to share our thoughts or ask a question, we stood up or raised our hands instead of constantly shouting over each other.
I feel like I made myself look like an idiot in front of Lena Long, though Val told me I didn’t, and I feel like I’ve fumbled my chance at getting a proper interview with anyone on Iron Tank. If their Colonel doesn’t like me, they probably won’t like me either.
But if they already don’t like me, then I don’t have anything more to lose by interviewing them, I suppose.
I still want to go to the Fortress with Val and see how Colossus does against Iron Tank. I wonder if any of the Colossus players will remember me. I wonder how they’re preparing for their next match, and if Achilles is feeling any better. Hopefully they come out on top!
Speaking of the Greek team, I ended up pulling an Ares card from one of my packs!
Some of my favorite cards I ended up getting were: Dancing Rasta, Ninja, Snake, John J Johnson Jr. (I ended up trading that card with Val, she gave me her Ja Nein card!), Griz, Shane Fin, and a ZOOM ZAHIR CARD!!!!!!
(Speaking of which, I wish I had targeted Ja Nein for my Iron Tank interview instead. He’s nowhere near as intimidating as the other guys, I actually knew his name, and I’m sure he would’ve been much more eager to talk to me seeing how he’s still so new. Too bad he kept playing in the smack center of the field away from me!)
Val got some super good hits as well, Nick Kickaloposus, Keller, Hermes, Scissors, Vince, Demetrius, a SPECIAL ART SHAKES CARD, just to name a few! I’m a little jealous.
We tried to play the game properly, but we had no idea how to. We tried going onto the official website, but the tutorial page was broken. Videos and online guides were extremely confusing too, absolutely NOT beginner friendly!
We ended up giving each other tarot readings instead (even though we didn’t know how to do those either, we kinda just made things up as we went).
Val did my reading first, I got: Keller for my past, Demetrius for the present, and Shakes for my future!
Then I did Val’s reading! She got: Griz for her past, Ares for the present, and then Dancing Rasta for her future!
(I originally pulled a Ninja card for her future, but she nearly cried and begged for me to pull another card, so Ninja doesn’t count.)
Not going to get too specific about our readings since a lot of it involved personal stuff, but just know we had a good time and it was a lot of fun! Really happy to have a friend like Val in my life.
I think—even though the group interview went kinda bad—I don’t want to dwell on it too much. There’s a lot of other things to look forward to in the Super League, a whole bunch of other teams to talk with, and I’d be doing it all with my best friend helping me.
If I can survive one bad interview, I can survive another! Do your worst Iron Tank, cause we’re coming at ya!
