Bragging rights...
Yup. As some of you may remember, last year about this time a friend of mine (Tony) and I were first place in the Hayward(CA), Bakersfield(CA), Laughlin(NV) air race. Short version: we impressed even ourselves at our very low score.
This year, we entered again, same plane, pretty much the same route. Short story: 9th place. However...
Tony has won before with another pilot 6-7 years ago. Since there were a couple of people consistantly winning year after year, they decided that once you won twice, you were put in a Masters class, to compete with only other Masters. In this class, there is a perpetual trophy, plaques for the pilot and co-pilot only for first place (and a nice tidy sum in a white envelope). This year, we were one of three planes in this Masters class. We won. Yeah, it doesn't say much for those flying in the Masters class if the 1st place winner only manages to get 9th overall. But, hey...the winning envelope sure paid off a large chunk of the operating expense of flying this year.
One nice touch, though...each year the winning plane from the previous year is the one on the T-shirt everyone gets for participating. Bragging rights "Hey, did you know that is <u>our</u> plane you're wearing?" Naturally, I had to pickup an extra shirt [img]biggrin.gif[/img] .
Arrogance? At the awards ceremony, and prior to knowing any of the results, I was wearing a "No Fear" T-shirt with the wording on the back:
Blessed are the
Losers
For they determine
the Winners
Going up to get our plaques, I could hear some small bits of laughter. You know that feeling you get when you realize you did something you shouldn't? *sigh*
I got nothing but positive comments about my shirt, but next year, I think I'll leave it at home.
Coming home, the alternator died, and it was raining in the bay area, so we didn't make it all the way back to Hayward. Had to stop in Livermore, which is 15 miles east of Hayward. But, made it back in one piece, and am ready for next year.
Hey, that's excellent, Wizz. Sorry congratulations are a little late, business has been booming. Keep your flaps tucked in! [img]cool.gif[/img]
Thanks, Ery.
As it turned out, we landed with the flaps tucked in when we got to Livermore. Normally, you extend the flaps to land, but extending the flaps could have drained the battery such that the radio wouldn't work anymore. Ah, life...you either ride the merry-go-round, or the roller-coaster.
Roller coasters are fun!
Glad to hear it, Wizz! Bet you're still feeling good.
Now that you're down on the ground, it's time to take the What D&D Character Are you Quiz and see if you live up to your rep!
For the record, I am a Chaotic Good Elf Mage Bard [img]graemlins/angel.gif[/img]
Good quiz! Apparently I am a neutral good, half-elf ranger fighter. Which sounds good to me!
I Am A: Lawful Good Human Ranger Fighter
<u>Alignment:</u>
Lawful Good characters are the epitome of all that is just and good. They believe in order and governments that work for the benefit of all, and generally do not mind doing direct work to further their beliefs.
<u>Race:</u>
Humans are the 'average' race. They have the shortest life spans, and because of this, they tend to avoid the racial prejudices that other races are known for. They are also very curious and tend to live 'for the moment'.
<u>Primary Class:</u>
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.
<u>Secondary Class:</u>
Fighters are the warriors. They use weapons to accomplish their goals. This isn't to say that they aren't intelligent, but that they do, in fact, believe that violence is frequently the answer.
<u>Deity:</u>
Mielikki is the Neutral Good goddess of the forest and autumn. She is also known as the Lady of the Forest, and is the Patron of Rangers. Her followers are devoted to nature, and believe in the positive and outreaching elements of it. They use light armor, and a variety of weapons suitable for hunting, which they are quite skilled at. Mielikki's symbol is a unicorn head.

I Am A: Chaotic Good Gnome Ranger Bard
<u>Alignment:</u>
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.
<u>Race:</u>
Gnomes are also short, like dwarves, but much skinnier. They have no beards, and are very inclined towards technology, although they have been known to dabble in magic, too. They tend to be fun-loving and fond of jokes and humor. Some gnomes live underground, and some live in cities and villages. They are very tolerant of other races, and are generally well-liked, though occasionally considered frivolous.
<u>Primary Class:</u>
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.
<u>Secondary Class:</u>
Bards are the entertainers. They sing, dance, and play instruments to make other people happy, and, frequently, make money. They also tend to dabble in magic a bit.
<u>Deity:</u>
Baervan Wildwanderer is the Neutral Good gnomish god of forests, travel, and nature. He is also known as the Masked Leaf. His avatar is always accompanied by an intelligent, giant raccoon, named Chiktikka Fastpaws. His followers, like him, enjoy the outdoors and work to protect it and guard those who also enjoy it. Their preferred weapon is the halfspear.

Alignment:
Neutral Good characters believe in the power of good above all else. They will work to make the world a better place, and will do whatever is necessary to bring that about, whether it goes for or against whatever is considered 'normal'.
Race:
Half-Orcs are a cross between a human and an orc. Generally, this kind of mating does not occur willingly, so half-orcs are almost never raised by a full set of parents. They tend to be less intelligent and attractive than humans, but are generally stronger and hardier. Violence is a part of their nature, and few half-orcs manage to overcome this to follow other professions. They are generally treated with disdain by other races, if not outright hostility.
Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.

Race:
Dwarves are short and stout, and easily recognizable by their well-cared-for beards. They are hard workers, and adept at stonework and engineering. They tend to live apart from other races; generally in deep, underground excavated systems, and as such tend to be distant from other races.
Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.

Great heavens! Now that's what I call a well-cared-for beard! [img]smile.gif[/img] That's spooooky!
I've been reading the "JMS Speaks" topic, and noticed for the first time the copyright at the bottom- "permission to reproduce specifically denied to SFX magazine". That really took me by surprise! I knew JMS and SFX had a running series of spats a while ago, but didn't realise that there were still grudges held on either side.
Does anyone know about this on JMS' side? I worked at SFX for a short while, and the regular staff don't seem to be very conscious of anything still going on. They treated it all as a bit of a joke at the time as well, if I remember rightly.
<font face="georgia">Good question, Baze. JMS has addressed it infrequently when asked, but the gist of it is he claims that they have misquoted him or taken his statements out of context in order to cast him in a bad light. Short of slander/libel, it would appear. While SFX may currently consider it a joke, there's no question in my mind that he takes the affronts very seriously...
Every post he makes to the newsgroup (rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated) has that disclaimer. Some time ago, someone who moderates the group mentioned that repostings didn't include the statements that are in his .sig, and wondered if that shouldn't be addressed. I didn't see any further discussion (although I didn't look that hard), but figured I'd cover the bases (baseball term) and include it once at the end of the postings I made.
If it's terribly annoying, I can stop.

<font face="georgia">Air race revisited
Well, turns out that one of the three competing in the Masters Class appealed the final standings, based on his time being 10 minutes off. Apparently there were two other planes at the same time with the same timing error. And, to make things a little more interesting, the appeal was granted, giving us 2nd place instead of first. The guy who appealled the places has always won in the masters class since it was started, so he was interested in keeping his perfect record.
So, we give up the plaques, and will offer the cash reward to the new winner. *sigh* He may or may not accept the check...
Heck, it was nice while it lasted. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Ack! Bad luck Wizz. [img]frown.gif[/img]
Don't worry about including the sig- it's not annoying, it just caught my attention that one time. I also doubt that the moderator should worry about repostings, since SFX have pretty much left JMS alone for the last 2 years or so. Unless he says something *very* scandalous, controversial or otherwise deeply interesting in a tabloid kinda way, I doubt they'd bother him.
Damn, that bites Wizz! Sorry to hear that bud.
On JMS, he takes things very personally from what we know of his reactions. And it seems he holds grudges for a very long time.
While checking out the "Introductions" topic (one day I'll finally finish reading all the topics here, but right now, it's one at a time!)- I came across Azziz revealing CommunityZero and the Crossroads site. Whatever happened to that? Whatever happened to Crossroads?
I would love to get back into Crossroads, especially now I have much regular internet access and can spend some time developing my character. Does the Dragon's Inn still exist?
<font color="#a62a2a" size="1">[ June 11, 2002 03:15 PM: Message edited by: Baze ]</font>
Crossroads sort of died due to lack of posting. Neither Crash, nor I had the energy to keep everyone posting and it seemed that was what it would take to keep the site active. If you or anyone is interested in resurrecting the site, please feel free.
Too much to do, and not enough time to do it? Panhistoria, SciFiVine(reincarnated), Cross-roads, Hostboard, etc. (I'm sure I've left one or two out). With so many, it's hard to stay in touch with everyone, you end up running around
trying to stay in touch, and get overloaded.
Plus, real life tends to get in the way. Many may disagree, but one's enough for me.
Which is all fair enough! I wonder if anyone kicking around here fancies doing group role-plays though, or is a member of such a group and would let me join in. I really miss doing the group writing thing. Plus I want to resurrect Endellion!
Hey Wizz - can you appeal against their appeal?
If they were 10 minutes off, then maybe you were too?
Baze, I miss writing Anya as well. If you want to get something going, count me in.
And yeah, too many boards for me. So I mainly post here to keep in touch with this group.
Hi Baze,
Did I ever email you a copy of what I saved from our Crossroads thread? If I didn't and you would be interested in getting a copy, let me know and I would be happy to send you a copy. [email protected]
Fantastic! Just a visit, or are you out there for a Con or something? I'm still in touch with her actually... The power of the internet again!
I'd love to meet some of you guys somewhen. Do you all ever do Cons together? Paul (husband) is touting for an American publisher at the moment, so we're talking about heading over to some SF and Fantasy cons the other side of the Pond.
That's the only bad thing about the net- no face to face conversations.
Wow, haven't thought of Eilonwy in a long time. She was a very talented writer, and I enjoyed talking with her. Tell her hi for me, will you? And hope her health's holding up OK.
Baze, if you guys would start writing your characters again, I'd love to read them. I ejoyed the interactions, especially after the rifraff weeded themselves out.
I still remember a post Ei wrote, that included Sindatur. She described how he fluffed and preened while acting so superior to his human companions. Really great stuff. Love to read more from all of you.
Azziz,
Send Eilonway my love as well. As Merle pointed out, she is a very talented writer and I too miss the opportunity to interact with her. She did love her owl bashing, didn't she.
Hope her health is good and stays so, I say the occasional prayer for her (and my other net friends) health.
Baze and all,
I would be interested in joining in, but could not be relied upon to be especially steady in the posting department.
I will pass on messages for everyone and take pictures! [img]smile.gif[/img]
For those interested, I am going to finally get to meet, Eilionwy (I know I butchered the spelling) in August. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Hey, Ian. Don't think we didn't discuss that at some length. However, since we were 6 seconds off on our time, protesting wouldn't give us much, and basically the original protest improved the other pilot's time by 600 points (one point per second).
His time error on the first leg was 2 seconds to our 6 seconds, and his fuel was 0...no error. We were 9/10's of a gallon off for 90 points. If they'd taken 9 minutes off of his scored time and left it at 1 minute or 60 points, he would have won as well against our 9 seconds.
Deep down, I believe he deserves the placement, as he's quite good at this. The disappointment is being declared the winner, only to have it taken away.
Next year, I want to take it from him, no protests, no questions. We did it last year, we can do it again. [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img]
Hello Everyone, long time no see! I periodically watch your posts but when the site moved I had a hard time finding it. Rantarn was nice enough to tell me where the Zocolo was at. No wonder I had trouble finding it... book forums??
I have no idea if I'll post much, I don't write much over at PH either.. but I'll try to pop in from time to time.
I'll try and drag CT over too.. BTW she said to tell everyone hello!
run/tackle/hug!
Great to see you tandara! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
I'm sorry, I thought I emailed you two, but it might have been after my laptop crashed and I lost email addys. [img]frown.gif[/img]
Please send me your email addy and I will put it in my newish address book. Noone really posts a lot here, we are a slow lazy board for the most part so please do feel free to stop by whenever. *extra hugs*
Say howdy to CT for me. I haven't talked to her in ages. *hugs for her*
