When I played the novice computer (to a win total of 5):
Me: 4 Ties: 8 AI: 5
When I played the veteran computer (to win total of 5):
Me: 5 Ties: 3 AI: 0
Not sure how I pulled that one off!

The robot beat me soundly in both variants.
Fecking toasters.
Time for a Jihad.

Someone call the VA because I smacked that poor 'veteran' around.

Second time through it caught on more: 22W 22T 18L

So far I'm good at drawing with it. I keep going for what I think is the safe option, and I was usually right.

Veteran 10w 13t 8l
Same thing, but with way more loses. I always sucked at these games...

Novice: 8-2-6.
Advanced: 6-6-4.
