GG Taylor

Thomas Taylor flew long-haul for thirty-five years, finishing as a senior captain on the Pacific routes, and reckons he has spent nine full years of his life in the air. He learned the game from a first officer somewhere over the mid-Pacific in the eighties and has carried a board in his flight bag ever since. He was better on the old server. He will tell you so, courteously, over coffee: the play was sharper, the fields were stronger, and the rating he held there was worth two hundred points of anything issued since. Nobody can check. He plays deep and unflustered, treats a bad run as turbulence to be ridden out, and has quite genuinely seen worse than a missed double.
