    Seriously, don't blame me for the latest Lokensgaard shenanigans. Fact is stranger than fiction. [face_laugh]

    Don't worry, it took someone telling me about this to know it happened. Unfortunately my Google News alert for "noble house of trieste inspiration, ell inspiration, commissioner lokensgaard inspiration" didn't come through for me this time.

    I sense Trieste getting a perfect break-up-themed song to use in time for the 285 season. :p

    Okay, not funny anymore Dac. Seriously. Not funny. Don't you dare make Vehn look like he knows what he's talking about. :p

    I think Jaing might have had a very good day for the Mercs today. :D

    So which teams currently in ELL have never won a Galactic Cup, or haven't won one in a very long time? I just looked it up, and it's been 34 seasons since the C-Bucs won the Cup. Any other notable droughts? I think somebody might be due for a long-deserved championship after tonight. ;) (Though the C-Bucs will need to start winning soon if they're going to pull it off. [face_waiting])

    That is an excellent question!

    First off, 10 of 12 teams in the League have won a Cup. The two that haven't are the newcomers: Stewjon and Jakku, neither of which was even known as a planet when the back history of the League was created. As for currently running droughts, here's the list:
    1. Carratos - 1 year
    2. Ralltiir - 2 years
    3. Rydonni Prime - 4 years
    4. Mando'ade - 5 years
    5. Nar Shaddaa - 6 years
    6. Bakura - 7 years
    7. Coruscant - 16 years
    8. Dac/Mon Calamari - 31 years
    9. Hapes - 34 years
    10. Denon - 36 years
    Considering that half the league is within a decade of their last championship, that's a pretty even distribution of titles...but we could potentially get up to 3/4 if we had all three teams in the bottom half (Coruscant/Dac/Hapes/Denon/Stewjon/Jakku). Dac/Hapes/Denon all won their championships in the previous iteration of the game, making Coruscant the holder of the longest drought within the bounds of the current iteration.

    And as for Hapes, I am greatly embarrassed by the fact that the Miners are 13-3 against Euceron/Hapes under jc's direction, including the last 8 straight. Every time I play the Bucs I'm like an old time Notre Dame fan going into the Navy fan: "Okay, this is going to be the year that they beat us." Here's hoping it doesn't take 40+ seasons for that to happen! Jc, your patience and forbearance is more than admirable!

    Clearly I need to find a Coruscant-born megastar who totally blew off my team at one point to come back and miraculously win a title by taking over the game. [face_thinking]

    Oh man. The Textbook Rivalry. I love the name! Also, I like how the Starkillers now have two rivalry trophies they don't want to "win". :D

    It's too bad Alana Glencross never played in The Textbook Rivalry because we know what that would have done like when she "won". (Watch around 27 seconds in.)

    I guffawed at that!

    I think Jared Goff has a lot to live up to now in RL since his doppelganger is already off to a hot start here, eh, Trieste?

    Actually, because this game is usually the inverse of how sports go for me, I think Joff is going to vastly outperform any other inspiration!

    My activity may decrease substantially here in the next few days or so as my wife and I expect the arrival of our first child, who, naturally, will be a Smuggler's fan or risk being disowned [face_laugh] . I will be around peripherally but will do my best to keep story updates going as I have a really good idea for this season but might not have to the time execute it :)

    The gender is unknown at this point due to inconclusive ultrasound way back when so it will be a surprise. We've got names picked out for boy and a girl. For the girl name, however, would anyone like to hazard a guess? I'll give you a hint: It's a name I've used before around these boards. In stories that don't necessarily associate with this game but may include names used in this game.... PM me with your guess. I probably won't be giving out prizes but a simple congratulations ought to be good enough ;) I'll let you know when little one arrives.

    So that's the RL update from me. Good luck to everyone this season.

    Finally caught up on reading. galactic-vagabond422 another great post. I can smell the cigarette smoke when I read your posts. Most of all I love the ad at end in RL radio ads it's always "drink responsibly". On Carratos "drink like a Pirate".

    And Vehn you're about to experience the best gift in life. You will make a great dad. What a lucky child. Surprise babies are the best. Both of mine were surprises by choice.

    So Rydonni Prime has been in a state of quasi-lockdown and maybe-kinda-secession from the Republic for a year plus now. Maybe it's time they had a vote on that? :p
