Team A vs Team B

Just over 2000 posts. A has gone as high as, what, 800? Correction: 910 (Thanks Ryan). OK, not as shabby as I had thought.
Once B wins this one, I'm'a gonna quit

[RMiller]

It actually got up to 910 on a top post long long ago.

Agreed, time to start getting ready for the 2010 season. To make this more interesting, how about teams post where they plan/hope to go this year.
Team 343 will definately be attending Palmetto. We hope to take a road trip now that the economy looks a little better. And of course, we hope to go to Atlanta.

[Mr. Pockets]

195

Awesome idea Josh!

Hoping to make the Wayne State district, aiming for Michigan States, and of course it would be really, really, really awesome if we made worlds!

[delsaner]

1676 will definitely attend New Jersey, no doubt about that. As for our other regional, we havn't discussed that yet. We will probably discuss it at our next meeting.

48 hasn't decided our event list yet - no definites. Looking at the schedule, events in the mix for selection (or ones I'd like to attend) include

Finger Lakes
Chesapeake
Buckeye
Boston
Pittsburgh
Philadelphia
Greater Toronto
Tar Heel

Week 3 is OGT testing week for Harding HS. No travel then (:o CT, Midwest, Boilermaker).

[Karibou]

190

1189 definitely wants to go to the Detroit district again, but we're not sure what our other pick would be (if we can persuade our mentors/fundraise enough, we might make the trek out to Traverse City). Of course, we would like to make it back to states, and if our financial situation allows it, Atlanta [:

I love how we suddenly started talking about our event picks :rolleyes:

I'm not in direct contact with my team, so this is all just based on the car ride back from IRI, but I'd be shocked if we weren't going to Wisconsin, 10,000 Lakes, and hopefully pre-paying for the Championship.

[DonRotolo]

Not that I have a lot of influence, but I'd prefer to attend a regional that's a little closer than Palmetto. We had a GREAT time there (and came home with our second Chairman's!) but that bus ride had far too much vacuum (read between the lines) for me.

[Katie_UPS]

200

1675 is attending the Wisconsin, seeing as its a few miles from our shop. We're not sure on our second. :/ Atlanta is on an eligibly-ticket only.

[demosthenes2k8]

I'm not sure what 166 is planning yet, we haven't decided yet AFAIK.

Go, Rick! Go!

I will admit, the bus ride to Palmetto was a bit too far away, especially on bus. Hopefully, we'll narrow down regional choices on Monday.

Chesapeake

I have been hearing stories that Chesapeake and Buckeye were possibilities for us.

I have been hearing stories that Chesapeake and Buckeye were possibilities for us.

I don't think we can do Chesapeake, Eric. It is scheduled for week 2 and I'm not sure if we would be allowed to miss school two weeks in a row.

(Top Post)

Let's start it back at 500 (if anyone's still playing)...

[Taylor]

That makes the score 0-4, advantage B. PM Sent to OP.

Don't worry, I'm sure that (eventually) enough team B members will get bored, quit, and we will be victorious! Back up the hill we go!

[EricH]

This is what I was waiting for--let B get (another) win, and come back with a blitzkrieg!

Didn't we try that last time? :rolleyes:

Eh touche, though the end effect is theoretically the same.
Take heart team A, one day we will feel triumphant as well (through sheer persistence if nothing else).

Edit: Nice, My computer always seems to take me to the page before the last so I ended up freaking out thinking that someone tried for top post without back-up and scrambled together a top post. Then learn to my amusement that not only did we in fact catch the top post (grats to Chief and Eric) but my point tally ended up being the correct anyway. Wow, makes up for the painful football game I just came home from. Life rocks like that!

Good show Kara, and Katie
And for the sake of arguement, there really are no hollow victories in this game. Victory goes to the team which:
A) coordinates most effectively
B) has the greatest persistence/interest
Though I would also argue that it's generally more interesting if team B keeps fighting.
