From worst to first in two games on the same map.

A bit of a story about loss and redemption over the course of two games on the Neighbours map. In the first game, I simply couldn't make my shots count (if I could make them hit at all). It pissed me off. The only reason I got 983 XP was because it was the first victory of the day.

In the next game, I was on the same map with a slightly lower-tier team. I mused on the fact that my last game had been on this map and that it was not one I wanted to remember. Our Hiryu then tried to encourage me by saying that I'd have a good game this time, which I pessimistically pointed out as the Gambler's Fallacy (look at this for those who don't know what I'm talking about: https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/the-gamblers-fallacy). However, my very first shots of the game nearly blew away an Emerald and after that, everything just started coming together. I was able to angle my broadside, I was able to get off big hits on targets, I even completed one of the missions on the Third Campaign. I guess I owe that Hiryu a thanks and an apology for doubting him.
