Best Blend of 2024: The Elimination Game Part

[VDL_Piper]

-1 1792
+1 Telegraph Hill

 

[geoffs]

+ Doblone D'oro
- Ennerdale

 

[ak2000]

GLP Bankside +1
Early Morning Pipe -1

 

[jbfrady]

Today another legendary blend fell. This time it was Ennerdale, a treasured Lakeland aromatic for the folks who like that sort of thing. Ennerdale's cousin 1792 was once the leader but now it's the most contested blend on the board, taking hits slightly faster than it can heal from them. There's blood in the water and certain sharks are circling...

There are now 4 blends with hit points of 20+ and GLP accounts for three of them. This creates an intriguing dilemma, as targeting a GLP blend means opening yourself up for retribution. The house of Pease has become a mafia of sorts, so who's ready to make a move and risk sleeping with the fishes?

@telescopes and @tschiraldi can re-cast. They tried to swoop in to rescue Ennerdale at the expense of 3 Sails but they were one hit point too late. @Grangerous and @geoffs can re-cast as well, but for the opposite reason. Just reply to this post as you re-cast.
