Yes, that was an epic moment. I was at the table and was to the right of both Matts, just a simple white hat :) I eventually figured out that Matt C, my search quality compadre, was lying (he smartly used our association as a red herring). I realized it too late. Once I wised up and relayed my thoughts, the remaining black hats made quick work of me :)

I said this to many people, that it was a great icebreaker and I know a lot more people from the conference as a result. Kudos to Rand and co.

For my job duties, it's important to be able to step into the black hat mindset. That game was interesting because I got to test my black hat abilities without it causing any harm. :)

Well, I guess you are right Matt. Kicking me out of the game didn't harm anyone. Even if it did, your Sphinn just made up for it. Thanks for be such a good sport.
