The adage "Don't start a fight with a drunk" comes to mind.

It seems many players follow it with regard to tangling with the maniac. I do not.

I always end up covered in blood, and today it was my own.

That's the way it goes though. At times I underestimated him, which was to my great detriment. I thought my tactics were sound based on some of his previous moves, but he was able to connect with his blows, and I was plunging back when I should have ducked.

Now I'm scraped up pretty good and feel stupid about some of the things I tried to pull, but all I can do now is reflect on what went down so I'm mentally ready for the next time.

Because he's always in that bar pushing everybody around, and I know he's willing to throw down when I walk in the door.
