5 MWC teams made it. Air Force got screwed by the NIT (mainly becuase their best player got injured against UNLV in the conference tourny), but they are in the CIT while Wyoming is in the CBI and faces Lehigh tomorrow night in Laramie.

I've played some CKII lately. Started a new dynasty. I picked Denmark and made my own character.
Have had a lot of fun (and success) in the beginning. Managed to take Bremen and Hamburg from the Holy Roman Emperor while he was dealing with two civil wars and an invasion from Hungary. I feel for him, seriously I do, I'd go insane if I had to deal with that!
The regions were De jure claims and counties that rightfully belong to the King of Denmark so he can't take them back unless he tries to fabricate a claim, in which case I can send assassins after the plotters before he he can attack me. With other words I feel safe I won't lose these regions in the next few years.

That's the sort of place I like to hang out at. It's best if you bring a cooler and portable BBQ.

Good on you Jonesy.

Since King Achilles erased my career diary and clan forum I guess I'll celibrate in this thread.

I passed the simple written test to get my pilot's licence back. One more flight and hopfully I'll get my log book signed off. Then I'll have private license privileges again for at least five years unless I lose my medical. Yay!

What a great day.

Ok, it took a while due to being pretty much a hobo and not having extra money for things I like. I went flying today and my instructor sent me solo again.

One of the most beautiful things I've ever bore witness to.

In a helicopter? Did you pickup some inmates in Montreal?

Nope.

I was reading a discussion about that on a pilot's forum.

When you are up there solo, are you usually tense, or have come to relax now?

It's kind of funny. I'm never tense but I've been really trying to do everything perfect for the instructors. Yesterday the first thing I noticed solo was I could just fly the plane because I did not have to think, "What does the instructor want to see me do here?"

So it was super relaxed.

[AndyDufresne]

It is probably somewhat analogous to driving with a driving instructor vs driving without, but, you know, in the air.

Does anyone know who has made the most posts in this thread? I reckon Andy will rank pretty high (but not if you only count quality posts ), would be interesting to know the stats.
