Popeye placed second, FTR.


Poor Rasha... well, would anyone mind, if I were to include that in the obligatory article?

I'm torn between free for all and team. I can appreciate the furball with everyone for themselves. There's still something to be said about team competition in dogfighting. If it's just two teams, my vote should unofficially be counted towards free for all. If groups of 3 or 4 are used, that could make sense. Team tactics also provide more angles to write about.

Of course, there could always technically be two teams, but with race teams stuck together. This should help since everyone doesn't have the same amount of pilots. So I guess I'm for team either way. I guess a pro for the side of the free for all would be that it would be a good test of individual skill.

Alright, party people - in my last post, I let it open for you all to decide, whether or not your girls are at the relaxing session in the Hammam, so if you want, go ahead and have your girls there, getting a massage, the back scrubbed, relaxing in the water. That particular one is of the Cold-Warm-Hot-Style. Amy would be open for conversation, as would be Erblin and Sirlam.
Maybe we could arrange a little conversation about the joys of flying and what it means to the individuals? I would even volunteer to write it!
Or one of you could organize the Boys' After Show Party in his post (you're free to use my lads in those as you see fit ; )).

Men's bar crawl? Long as there's enough time to sober up for the dogfight, shouldn't be too bad.

lol... Fritz has people that would worry if they knew he might have a drinking session before the dogfight.

Edit: If it was the night before, that would be a great idea. There should be some cool island pubs. A night is plenty of time.

I actually thought about that occurring the evening after the race, a week before the dogfight. If there is interest in that being the night before the dogfight, that would be fine by me - Oea might be a tourist hotspot, but it has a lot of nice bars and a lot of different spirits to sample... ; )

Same time as the girls' night is fine by me.

That time definitely works well. I was just picking up on what I thought I saw about the timeline. Of course I also started to think up ideas for a hungover flight story. But a week prior is even better. It's your idea though, so I'd go along with whatever you proposed.

Alright. Thing is, though, I am not quite sure, if I will be able to write a post until the next cut-off...

Alright, if Jebs and anyone else having characters in it is okay with such a post being basically being 'retconned' into the proceedings, then I shouldn't have a problem with that one.
Speaking of, Vang, you'd be onboard, I take it? Jebs, you, too? And who else?

Ee-yup. Backposting is a thing I am good with, and I am definitely on board

Posting this now: One this season ends, I'm not doing another one for at least six months, if at all. I'm feeling burned out, running this isn't really fun for me any more, and it's just become such a hopeless mess that I'm just frustrated by it. I'm way behind schedule, there's little interest (probably because of how badly I've fucked up keeping to the schedule), and it isn't helping that RL issues are cropping up that are making it even harder for me.

Alright, Jebs. RL is more important, no question asked.
However, let me say, that I don't think, that you screwed up or that this is a mess. Quite on the contrary, quite a few of the kinks, which were in NASJAR 1, were worked out and I am having a grand old time!
(And that's not only because my people are winning. ; ))

In any case, if or when you do another NASJAR-Series, drop me a TG - I'd be aboard!

Dropped the ball again. Scorination will be Tuesday.

EDIT: So I was sick and spent most of yesterday asleep and the rest wishing I was. I'll just do it Saturday.

Given the lack of interest, I am also considering cutting the last two noneliminations.

Missed scorination again. My apologies. At this time, I am not sure whether to postpone again or just call it as is, given the lack of participation and the fact that it seems everyone is burnt out or just plain not interested (entirely my fault).

It's not your fault. I personally hit a wall. There have just been a lot of events. I haven't posted on NS in awhile, nor elsewhere. I think there have just been a lot of things going on. I reached a point where I had to back away. I'd bet others are just tired too. But I'd hope it wouldn't fold. I'll try to post again. You wouldn't want to quit and end the whole series. It's just a matter of the WGPC being so busy for others probably. And other sports too.

If others have also taken a break, I'm sure they won't mind if scorination was simply pushed back once more. We're all taking a bit of a break then. We can finish strong, eh?
