And then if it does suit the piecepack to a "T", you wont get voted 
simply because you followed the rules. Ignore what the Piecepack is 
alltogether, and copy another game that is difficult and german. 
Then you will win. To all Newbies, Dont follow the Rules outlined in 
the Comp. It is the surest way to loose. Open your game closet close 
your eyes and pick two games at random, and FORCE the piecepack to 
become that game. 

And if this is not what happened in the last comp. Please let me 
know.
