The state of the nation again!

This time in much clearer terms.

Musica has gone back to Australia. He's still active, but he's... well... in Australia. You probably won't be seeing that much of him in local compes anymore, but meanwhile let's hope he has fun gallavanting around with Kangaroos with Team Immunity... whenever they actually get a team together. I have no idea when he's slated for permanent return to Zenith, but I'll guess around the end of next year.

Tofu has O levels coming up... but that doesn't seem to stop him from doing whatever he wants... which fortunately also includes studying. He seems pretty much set to play in Zenith for a long time without any breaks in activity (I mean, if O levels won't stop him, I'm not sure what will in the future).

ZX seems to be cruising pretty fairly. Aside from his down periods, and god knows when his major exams will ever come, he seems set to stay play for Zenith for a long time without breaks.

NutZ is well... awaiting NS. Up till then he's too damn free and probably will play for Zenith, unless he finally gets cheesed by everyone calling him a feeder (which begs the question why else make a name that is a homonym of walnuts?).

Ant is busy supposedly studying for his IBDP exams. As much as he would like to not do so, his parents unfortunately have him a little more pwned and both parties agree that anything less than 42 points would be rather disastrous... not that he thinks the additional mugging would help. Following that he would probably get enlisted into the army early in 2008, although he might want to just sit out to make room for the new team lineup and also because he is a feeder.

LuX is busy with NS. As skilled as he is, the current team would prefer to have members that can train regularly and are contactable more often. Heck, that's going to happen to me in a few months too... so for now he's not in the stable main lineup.

As much as ice sucks at playing Enigma, ice's current situation puts his status as such.

HY and Dk-MaG3, fresh new recruits, are hopefully planning to stay for the long haul, and don't seem to have anything in their way short of next year's final examinations which are a bit far away.

As huge as this player base seems, at most 6 people at one go will actually be active, so it seems pretty fine. Well, 7, if you count Ant, but he's willing to part with helping to feed in the team.

And if we're lucky, NutZ' enlistment into NS will be slated to coincide with Musica's return to Singapore.

I'll leave it to the Micro side to explain their own details. For our side, we knew we needed to find a last very soon in order to maintain a stable lineup, with Ant entering NS and busy with exams and whatsnot. I mean, if we flew Musica all the way from Australia to play (eventually he played WGT, which we didn't plan to take part in, but whatever) just to ensure a stable lineup, it's pretty much a statement of how much we needed a last T_T.

Mizencrononith was an idea conceived quite long ago, as many players had to retire temporarily for exams. It was originally conceived as a short term solution. In the end, what happened was that Mizencrononith became more of an online team, where a larger player lineup was not only allowed but reccomended given our situation, but Micro and Zenith stood as separate teams in LAN competitions.

A little known fact that is related yet doesn't exactly say much about the current events is that in the initial recruitment of ZX, he didn't come alone from Micro. Dk-MaG3 and ZX originally were transferred over, but after a short period of time Dk-MaG3 went back to Micro. Probably since we were too busy in that period with MYM and TT_TT and made him feel lonely :(. But we love you all!
