OK...here's the deal.
I live right outside the local pub, so playing at 11pm - 3am has an enermous risk of people spilling into the flat which is very common. (5 people live here after all.)
If that happens then the chances of me being able to stay in-game are very remote. I'm the only female in the house and will most likely need to fend off drunken come-ons for the rest of the night. This makes it very dangerous for the team as we all have to return to the start point within 10 mins of the time-slot ending or we foerfit.
If it's a must, then I will take part, but will have to leave and come back before the finish - therefore I will only play if we only have 3 other people available.
This finishing on time thing is another danger of using CND. Our Soc's pilot, Art, can probably be asked to wait for us at the hangar and take us/you lot up there immediatly after the starting time, but we will meet him before the match in order for him to add us to his FL and then to the ship, in order to waste as little time as possible.
Art is not Scottish, so standard pilot fee's apply.
As for convincing him to wait the entire time on CND in order to immediatly take us/you lot back down again....well....I'll ask him.
However, if indeed I do end up playing in the first instance, I don't think I'd be much use on CND. I've only ever even seen Nerocu's once and I didn't last long against them. It might be better to have u three go up with a random and me stay down and work on Facervix's in order to get additional "mix and match" points.
My global streak is still going strong, got 3 last night.
Well anyway, that's my thoughts thus far. A lot of if's and maybe's though I know....will be important to plan for all eventualities.
