I think we are getting a little ahead of ourselves here. The thread is for interested people to put down their name as intending players, nothing more than that, I would hate to see anyone keen to play put off, or intimidated by some of the remarks being made. I agree SJ it's nice to win, but it's good to participate as well, I had no idea about the game when I started playing in that comp, and my first article was abysmal, (some would say "so were all the others I wrote" :lol: :lol: ) but once people get the hang of whats required I'm sure most here would be competative with the current crop of players involved with the comp that is presently in progress. The idea of having a few dummy runs amongst ourselves is a good one, and then there's the trials that Willow has already said they will be running in the next month or so. I just don't want to see people put off by a "must win" mentality. The thread was put up because a lot of people were showing interest in it, and wanted to have a go, so keep the names coming people, the finer points of how the team is operated can be sorted after we have enough players registered. I am more than happy to have Oswin remain as captain, but again that's not up to me, and is something that can be voted on after we get some player numbers. Astro "Please stick with it"
