Assume the same time as PIS was cutting off.

Since you guys are used to it, I'll try to keep it the same. The cutoffs may come a tad later, but the cutoff will be very prompt on Friday for sure. So assume the same time that PIS was cutting off, you should have your RP's in by.

I don't know. She's just some random model from a website I found via Google Image Search.

Same with Fušia. Just dicked around until I found somebody who I thought looked roughly like her in my head.

Apologies to those in my groups and the tournaments I was running/setting up to run. Hope to be back up and running though as soon as I get my new services installed.

Pink Cup: If two (or more) teams end up tied on points, what's the sequence for applicable 'deciders'? Is it head-to-head results before goal-difference, or vice versa, or what?

Well, I rather like Benny and Mic. In the increasingly more unlikely possibly of further collaborations between George Clinton and Lee Scratch Perry, I think their Acquan alter-egos will have to continue to collaborate instead. Hopefully you don't all hate the caps lock..

Not sure how much I'll be able to get online during the next four days: If I don't post at all for a while then that will (probably) be owing to difficulty in getting access to a computer while places are shut for Easter...

Last call for Cup of Harmony votes; although the ballot box is supposed to close in nineteen hours, I won't have internet access at that time, so technically voting remains open for nineteen hours, plus :p (it should be Sunday evening or so, my time).

Ah well, so I need to win my last game and see Taeshan lose both their matches to get into the playoffs, and if Taeshan get a single point in the last two, then I'm probably out by GD (+14 to +3, great).
