(+15 pts) – This person's army design and attitude evoked a feeling of tense, but fair competition for both of us (regardless of the outcome). I would be willing to play them again. (+10 pts) – Either this person's attitude, army, or playstyle was aggressive, but not off-putting. I would be hesitant, but willing to play them again. (+5 pt) – This person's army design, play style, and/or attitude created a negative play experience for me. I do not want to play them again. (+0 pts)
