Vindication, if not entirely efficient game play wise, I finally put down the Blue Mafia Boss in a Survival End Level. I didn't have to do it that way, and probably won't try again for a while, but after the Run 1 ended in the two punch defeat, I really wanted to beat the Mafia Guy to stop them feeling like a nemesis. So I did, and the iFits/iSits protocol dictates a win's a win, and my 4000 pts will not hold Top 10 at all, but hey, it was a good day to be me.

01:06 Run 1 starts
26:35 And I have dreams of a lightning fast First and Final done meet the cold hard reality of the Blue Boss.

29:45: Run 2 starts. It took a level or two to get the big boss defeat out of my head, but hey, I did select cards to beat the big fella
54:45 Run 2, Final Level: Yes, it's a survive, and no, I didn't need to go hard on eliminating Mafia Big Blue, but damn, sometimes it sure feels good to defeat a gangster

This is my Daily Play play through. Each day, I try to play to complete the level, score as well as I can, and see how  I did yesterday.  There are a couple of self imposed rules for the run. 

The iFITS / iSITS Protocol guidelines are:
* No more than 3 play through attempts in the day. 
* If I end on a medical center break below half health, I buy the health pack.
* No restarts.  I break the run, I bought the run.
* Rollbacks are fine
* First win is the final win.  Once I complete, that's the day's play video done. Video length will vary for that -  if it's a very good or very bad day, it's quick 45 minutes. If it's a Very Especially Frustrating Day, it's 3 x 45 minute runs to failure.
* Playing for the top 10 legit score placement on the first two runs, playing to complete on the third.

Playing for Top 10 (legit score) means skipping events, and prioritizing fights, and harder fights (lieutenants) over 'safer' lower scoring runs, not spending cash at the gym or medical (unless below 50%), and picking cash earning over other options if there's a choice. Health and money have multiplier effects at the end, and Fights (indicated by the different venue) result in points. 

Playing to complete means I can go "Event, Event, Last Round" as a fair strategy, including using gyms, going for shorter routes and using the cash to top up health.  Finishing the game is the priority if we're on round 3.  Lower risk means lower reward for the finish and if it's a bad run, I live with that scoreboard placement.   

Filming is usually around 10am Brisbane Standard Time (AEST, no DST, no worries) which usually is within the first hour of the new daily play's existence. I get to go first. Then everyone else can better my runs.

T-Shirt of the day is the Paranormans Investigators shirt. Available this Fall from the House of Catte Collection.

Version 1 of Fights in Tight Spaces (FITS) released officially, and I've decided that the daily play through, being as it is FITS, should be the SITS, so if I Fits, I Sits.  I am rapidly approaching 900 hours of play time for my $35 investment, so this game has the replayability.
