Sounds good. Hopefully next time around we'll get a few more members involved, and maybe have enough so we don't have to do bye weeks. Are there any other side awards like there were in ARC, just out of interest?

Actually the side awards had completely slipped my mind (a side-effect of too much time at work lately I suppose). Having a much reduced staff (just 2 full time and one emergency writer) kind of makes it harder to do a real discussion on awards.
It would be nice to get to being able to do confrences again, but I think this season has worked out fairly well anyway.

Speaking of work, I suddenly got some over the past three days. Yippee, I guess.
I'll get my final RPs up tomorrow. And good to know there'll be more FRR, ironically I just thought of a new concept today.

Since Philip wasn't in this one, it means I'm probably going up to second place. Not bad for someone who started this thing like 10 years ago.

So basically the only blank spot here is Lian. I'll give him a kick up the arse for you guys.

There will? Ah, that's great to know- I've been drawing up a few concepts in my notebook, and once we're closer to the actual time, I'll see if I can show a couple of them.
Awards sound interesting, too- hopefully I'll pick something up.

I do that quite a lot. I sketched out Agent X in my notebook during one lunchtime, but it's slightly more difficult to correctly implement it in Rhino. But I've got a new version all ready and waiting to go, with some small but hopefully significant improvements. Just need to get enough spare time to properly do things.

I'm thinking of designing a heavily armoured brick with a kick ass wedge next season

YA really, lol, give me whatever spread you want, making "brick rammers" less dominating was the sole purpose of adding the wedge stat.
Not saying they can't be done, your spread seems fine, just saying that the new rules were implementent to make them less dominating, there's no denying that.
