- Well, it's the end of a year, so I thought I'd make some predictions
- for next season's INL.
-
- The INL council will adopt a modified version of Tom's scheduling
- proposal. At the end of the season, a number of teams in the top and
- middle brackets will be upset, and a flame-war will insue. This won't
- amount ot much.
- The INL council will adopt a more scattered popping code instead of the
- current 40 second code.
-
- Teams:
- Rob "Spaceace" Hill's all-star team will win the championship match.
- Other dominating teams will include, TWNN (possibly with a new name), a
- team from SC, a team from Berkeley (probably named Golden Bears), Old
- McDonald's Farm, and the Illuminatus Cartel (possibly under a new name).
- If there is a third CMU team, they will be much weaker than the top
- two, but still in the top half.
- Lag U and 12AM will leaders in the middle bracket.
- UTexas will have trouble getting enough strong players for a team. By
- adding a few non-UTexas players, they will be almost as strong a this
- year's HB.
- Several European teams will enter the INL. They will all do badly, but
- improve a lot during the season.
- Members for this year's Farm League East will form a new team. After
- picking up s few players to replace lost players, they will dominate the
- lower division.
- MIT, RPI, CU Boulder, KSU, Harvard and UNC Chapel Hill will all find
- themselves to have a few too few players for a full team. @ large teams
- will get a lot of players from these spots.
- Australia will hold off on entering a team for another semester,
- waiting for a better Net link. They will enter a team for the Summer
- (Winter:) INL.
-
- Players:
- Guru and The Exodus will end up on the same team. They may be
- co-captains, or Guru may be sole captain.
- CrackPot will play for TWNN.
- Chi will not be on a CMU team.
- Warlock will play for 12AM.
- Duck Dodgers will swear that he will never play netrek again. He will
- play for Lagg U, and will miss very few games.
- Yupa and Hiemdal will sub in for so many games that the INL council
- will be asked to adopt new subbing rules.
- Ged will finally meet Balton, and think he's a nice guy.
- MUCUS PIG will make a post on RGN. This will turn out to be a forgery.
