Chuck vs. RJT

Somehow I’m going to have to figure out a way to hold a district event that will qualify a policy team. Monti does want to send people, while the other polician schools are shunning Kansas as any reasonable person might. I guess they don’t have reason up there in Monticello. Otherwise they’d be somewhere else.

I shouldn’t say anything bad about Montwegians, though, otherwise Rose Joyce-Turner won’t help at Districts. Last year the Montwegian congress bill was to create a clone army of RJTs, which I think was going to insure universal peace. Sounds likely on face, but unfortunately the congressional wags turned it into an army of Chuck Norrises. This was a mistake, obviously. What could Chuck do that RJT couldn’t do better? It’s not even close.

I spent a bunch of time yesterday picking away at the TRPC files, trying for automation. Chris Palmer said he might try to do likewise. I even went so far as to dig out my old floppy drive and plug it into my PC, which is like reinstalling DOS 3.1, only moreso. (If there were a clone army of RJTs, they would not equip themselves with floppy drives, although a clone army of Chucks might.) I was able to upload team names from a text file, which is as advertised, but not for multiple divisions. I also tried things like using Evil TRPC files in Good TRPC, but that was a bust. Fortunately this particular automation isn’t essential, given how I can macro out the data from spreadsheets probably almost as quickly, but it does pose a thorny question that the enquiring mind wishes to solve. Maybe CP’s enquiring mind can solve it; mine seems to be quickly running out of inspiration.

Coming up is one last weekend of freedom before 4 of progressive forensic complexity, from Lakeland's nov/jv to Iona’s combo of Regional/CFL to Grands to Districts. Obviously we’ve got to make this weekend count. Maybe the Frick. Maybe the Met. Something elevated, in either case. The sinking will begin soon enough.
