The second round's done! Well done to all participants for getting through all the bat poisonings and urban planning challenges. Many of us were surprised by the game, and many will be playing it more in our own time, including myself. Some people have expressed that Dark Cloud wasn't a «wheel game», but don't listen to them! Exploring video games we wouldn't have otherwise is one of the Wheel's blessings, and being able to make educated guesses about what you should spend your limited time on is just another aspect of the Struggle. This was an excellent nomination from Flame and/or Nomadd!

There were laughs, there were tears, there was even a tiny bit of rage from Flame at the end there. But, as expected, Flame still emerges as the winner of round 2, earning the delicious 6 points. But it was much closer than anyone expected: Floof came in second with just one capsule behind the round winner. I think Floof even played this blind, didn't he? If so, his submission is even more impressive than Marcman's in Round 1, and he now shares the third overall position with Octobot. carlconiglius scored a very respectable third place, his first ever podium placement, which puts him even above Marcman in the season table, congrats!! Marcman and imagoth came 4th and 5th respectively, and they are the only two participants to podium in both rounds so far. If you think imagoth's place might not seem like much, you're dead wrong: that one extra point means that he is currently the top placement in the season table. Looking at the submissions so far, I don't think Marcman is going to enjoy such a commanding dominance over the rest of us anymore!
