Thank you to all who signed up, and thank you to Zwangzug who surprised us all with a sign up! There are lots of old faces coming back, and that is good, because that is what this season is all about. Also, upon request by Frenline Delpha, I added asterisks at the end of the WBC champions on the sign up sheet, since that is kind of the theme. So far, we have accumulated a combined total of 12 championships out of 38, and I am counting on Newmanistan and Cassadaigua to sign up, so that will bring us to 19.

Like Zwangzug, I am probably not going to be able to do anything significant but the scary thing is I have just thought up this entire storyline of what I would do, if I had time. I still have it in me! :p Just not the time to execute it, but we will be there.

Love the new flag, Cass.
I don't know how long I'll be back, but I just thought I'd stop in and say hi, at least.

Whoa, back when Cassadaigua was good, CDs were still cool!!! Another cool element of this WBC is that we will have the 10th anniversary of the founding of the WBC on April 4th, which will likely be during the tournament. Maybe the hosts could come up with some bonus activity to commemorate the anniversary on the 4th.

We've already hit 30 sign-ups in less than a day. That's absurd.

I'm hoping you somehow find the time to do that storyline (though obviously RL must come first).

I don't actually think Newmanistan plans on using that in the WBC. He was actually just messing with us.

TGP was always the master at seemingly unintentional humor.

Also, this was the 6,000th post in this thread. That means nothing, and affects absolutey nothing of substance.
