Welcome back, Han!

FYI, Newmanistan has undergone some changes while you were away, with the big one being that Empress Jessica is no longer in power. Coupled with your absence, we had done away with the Samseong sponsorship of the national team. The company still has a presence in Putnam Lake and still sponsors that stadium, but Empire funding is back in full force (the reason for the Samseong sponsorship no longer being required).

Now just here to run NSSCRA. Thank you to the community for all the fun in other sports.

It seems like returning is starting to become a bit of a theme. It's like some unseen force keeps herding us back.

Somewhere, deep down, I think we just can't let go of this world!

Shall we have a sweep on who'll return next cup? Only downside is, I haven't figured out who is still here. Lots of names I recognise, but lots that I don't, too.

SLOW

That said, to those detractors who say I'm too sane to want to want to come back, I assure you that life has been much kinder to me. Take what happened yesterday: I got a new phone that connects me to the Internet (courtesy of the old one succomding to the natural forces of gravity and Murphy's Law, addendum 10.93). Nonetheless, this phone dislikes MS Office and I suck at flipping my thumbs into knots, so engaging in any sort of eclectic activities is beyond my present capabilities (for those not aware, among the reasons for my departure was the voluntary retirement of my old laptop - though at the time, it was hardly the most pertinent). So the quest for one laptop to rule them all continues to ensure unhindered access to my files. Moreover, I am planning some sort of revival that will mean the end of certain traditions and the start of new ones. In any case, you'll have to wait before the Han come back to haunt your dreams (at least we'll get a chance to finally won that damned CoH).

Oh, and C&M - is it possible to trade in the one on the IDSN for the NSWC one? Purdy peez?

(If anyone needs any indication as to how badl I suck at this (not talking bout Maradona suck either), this message took me 30 minutes to write - too long for my tastes)

EDIT: ah crap - the real reason why I'm here is because Samseong is one of those things that won't go byebye. So I'll need to know from people if they're still willing to have snooping in their backyard with a wad o imaginary money - just email or TG me. I understand perfectly
if you'd rather not have it that way, since I was away for some time under the expectation that I wouldn't come back for perhaps a year. Anyhow, thanx for the greeting LE!

Well, the biggest change that those of you who've been away for a while will have to grasp is that the WC2 hosts from the Dreamed Realm - the last active WC1 participants - are the defending WC Champions.

Yes, hell did freeze over.


And those of you wondering about whether Australia and NZ might get drawn into the same RL WC group should remember that England, Australia, and New Zealand could all get drawn into the same group....

Aye. I need confirmation on some stuff which I can only get from Kry. The schedule was to start today, but since we have a two rest days, we've got a bit of a breathing space. If I don't get a hang of Kry before tomorrow 22:00 GMT I'll start this thing by myself.
