Thank you.

Sorry to hear about your summer.

Sometimes I feel like my posts are invisible and no one reads them here.

It depends. I know that I haven't been reading many posts at all for most of Summer. I never normally do, because I'm normally busy for much of Summer with only a few weeks not doing stuff (so NS).

But I have logged in now. I'm sorry about your dog. We're here if you need us, but if you also need to take a break then that is absolutely what you should do. Do what is best for you.

Thank you so much. :hug:

Just for the record:
He didn't get put down, he died peacefully while in the car just before he went to the vet.

Assuming that anyone here cares about me.

Oh my god, I'm so sorry.

I cannot express how much I sympathize, having lost several pets myself. It's a horrible, horrible feeling. I wish you all the best. :hug:

While not the biggest fan of dogs, I can understand why people like them so much, and losing something that you truly care about is horrifying. You have my sympathies.

First off, I would like to offer commiserations for the loss of Herp's dog. I would like to say that I might not be able to RP much this season. I know I said that last season and ended up RPing just fine, but we'll see what happens.

It will be ok if you can't RP much.

WBC 41 still needs a host bid, so:

a) If you have hosted the WBC before, please consider putting in a bid here.

or

b) If you have never hosted the WBC before, but have hosted something else before, please consider adding this to your resume and putting in a bid.

or

c) If you have not hosted anything before, please consider your first such attempt here.

If I had a way to host (i.e. a laptop), I would offer my third WBC host bid. Alas, I don't, so I can't. Bummer for me.

Frenline Delpha had alluded to making a bid. I wouldn't be opposed to this, other than he just hosted recently.

I might bid, but I'm just unsure as of yet. I'm moving to Uni in a week, so it just depends on how much time I have. But I might try bid.

i'd bid, if I knew how the heck xkoranate works.

by **Equestrian States** » Thu Sep 07, 2017 8:51 pm

I'd consider making a host bid, if nobody objects to someone who's been pretty much inactive recently hosting. I do, of course, have two previous WBC hosting jobs under my belt. If you guys don't want me solo hosting it, I'd also be open to co-hosting.

I returned from my long hiatus and immediately hosted #38. Cass returned from hers before 39, and hosted 40.
I have no problem with you hosting, and can endorse you as being a good, reliable host.

by **Newmanistan** » Tue Sep 12, 2017 4:42 am

Host bidding will close in three days. I will create an emergency bid so that we have something, though I was targeting the next one.

Cool.

by **Equestrian States** » Fri Sep 15, 2017 2:38 pm

Hey, look at that...

by **Newmanistan** » Fri Sep 15, 2017 2:43 pm

Equestrian States has been a reliable host in the past and can carry on the recent trend of returning people hosting this without a problem.

by **Newmanistan** » Fri Sep 15, 2017 5:05 pm

Host bidding is now closed.

We have one bid. As this bid was just submitted today, there will be a 24-hour period for people to ask Equestrian States questions about the bid, if anyone has any, and then voting will open.

by **Newmanistan** » Sat Sep 16, 2017 5:02 pm

Guess we didn't need the 24-hour period! Well, it's time to vote!

Therefore..........

If you are one of these nations:

and if you are signed up/signing up for WBC 41, it is time for a vote on the WBC 41 bid.

SEND VOTES TO MY PUPPET West Pocono

Equestrian States bid

Voting options are:
YES
NO (this is treated as reopen bids as well since there is only one bid).
ABSTAIN

So let's give you all, let's say.... until Tuesday at this time, 8pm EDT, to place your vote!

by **Newmanistan** » Tue Sep 19, 2017 2:25 pm

I can now call the voting a little early, as it is impossible for one option to win now.

In Regards to Equestrian States hosting WBC 41:
In Favor: 12
Against: 1
Abstain: 0

Equestrian States will be the host for World Baseball Classic 41. Congratulations and good luck!

by **Schiltzberg** » Wed Sep 20, 2017 6:07 am

Congrats to Equestrian States on winning the bid! Good luck hosting the WBC!

by **The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp** » Wed Sep 20, 2017 6:21 am

I am looking forward to Equestrian States hosting the WBC!

Nice to see another pony nation in the WBC.
