I find this easier to work with than the guy that wants to call everything or change your call mid-report. [/B]
I agree, in fact I did call a couple that were in his area and he gave me the look and then talked to me about trusting your partner (which I couldn't believe he said). This is why I decided to only watch my area for the rest of the game and suffer the consequences. The rest of the game was caos. At the start of the next game I gathered myself and decided to watch everything and call all the obvious even if it was in his area. It definitely went alot smoother

It was a big learning experience for me and I'm sure everyone experiences something similar at some point. I learned to keep my thoughts on the game no matter how frustrated I am with my partner or anything else going on outside of the game because I missed a couple of violations due to the fact my mind was not in the game.
