| Centurion | If you have no faith in your abilities, or just no nerve, you won't risk everything to win. This is a way of showing that you are willing to do so and damn the consequences. Who dares, wins. I choose the danger, etc. Better  I'd look really silly trying to understand Norwegian, so it evens out And in the end, Montrose lost everything, including his life. |
