This is a cube like I'm the Queen of England.

You must be joking. If I want to be jerked off I'm perfectly capable of going in the bathroom and doing it myself.

Clear.
Eh, no. Zorba made the anchor. If his roll would have been bad, it was something to consider. Now it isn't.

we do have a better board, but we're behind in the race and no immediate threats.  N/D take

At 7-1 against, I'm going to call the vote early and move this one along.   


In the last thread I said that I'd pause for a cube decision unless he rolled something particularly good, and while his roll was good, it wasn't particularly good so I had to keep my word and post the question.  Otherwise I doubt I would have even bothered.  That said, every roll should be a cube decision.  Feel free to give me a heads up anytime you think it's worth pausing for a vote.

2-ply analysis is enough here.  I'm still not the Queen of England.
