Always a pleasure to host a game at the usual locale where I play. Quite a slow night tonight with only four teams but a fierce competition was afoot nonetheless.

We lost a fifth team after round 4. The Nat 20's had the lead for most of the night, but after winning the drinking round, they fell behind both Aggressive Foreplay and the winners the General Washingtons. Congrats on the comeback win with a big double down in round six, General Washingtons!

Now that our watch has ended, trivia teams were tasked with naming as many houses of Westeros as they could for the Drinking Round. Flux Capacitors served their King (Trivia) well by correctly naming 26 of those families, ensuring that they won that game. They also found themselves in second place at the end of a high scoring game, with Argentum just behind in third, and Aggressive Foreplay looking down from first.

It was a full house for a special night, as King Trivia, your humble Quizmaster, and the Tam O'Shanter celebrated nine full years of trivia fun at this location. Festive was the event, made more so by the scrumptious blonde brownies provided by Mrs. Miller to thank her son's regulars. Thanks as well to Robin of team Argentum, who brought some delicious keto-friendly sea salt and fudge cookies. Though the game was surrounded by sweetness, only the victors receive their just desserts, and so it was this night with the General Washingtons showing their superior knowledge of American history in order to claim the Drinking Round. Lewis and Clark would be proud of the Generals' perfect familiarity with the territory of the Louisiana Purchase. And despite the final scores being close, The Mules began, stayed, and ended the game at the top of the pile, earning them victory on a night that pitted them against difficult competition while answering difficult questions.

Well done to those teams, and to all of us for being a part of nine great years of fun!
