Someone asked me how Foodmachine has done historically. Considering how crunchy I imagine the MoM reader is, I figured getting this up here on the blog would fit right in. I only had complete data from the years that I’ve personally run Foodmachine (2010 and 2011). However, I do clearly remember my game club, The NJ SOBs, winning the two years prior. 🙂
So I rooted around in my collection of No Quarter magazine and I found some of the earlier data there, but it is incomplete. Still we have a really interesting story to tell:
