The hardest part was ordering that list of priorities.

That is exactly why I did not join AM in the first place. If the next world is much, much shorter than the current world, I might consider it.

I've got to work up the motivation to start studying for finals. Being locked in a metal tube for the entire weekend should do the trick. Glad I didn't do the AM thing, as it would have only made motivation that much more difficult to gather.

If we join a public world en masse, the world will be much shorter. They top out at 5-10 AM years. If we do another private world, shortening the world is at the top of the after-action list.

If KQ and SW (Air Namibia) merge, will the orbits of Saturn's outer moons be affected? If so, how?

Firstly, thanks for running the world. It ain't perfect, but you put some time into it. Secondly, is there any virtue to starting a new private world that has all the changes everyone has discussed, then stopping our current world? I'm just sayin'.

That one merger thread is going to spawn another litter of evil puppy CO/UA threads. I can't wait.

If I had the tokens to do it, I would. But the problem is that the routes and planes and such don't transfer over that I know of.

Depends on the route. Anything to LIM is an almost guaranteed EUA.

Morning, Box.

Physical for the summer job today - this should be fun. :rolleyes:

Why the hell are they making you get a physical (other than a drug test) for the job?

It's good to see the dirt-cheap one-way biz fares from S.E. Asia make a reappearance. I had been looking at the multiple variants of that fare (up to ICN, DL 77L to ATL, etc.), but just don't think I'll be able to use it any time in the near future. Here's hoping the economic downturn means ultra-cheap ex-KUL/TPE/CGK/SGN fares will be around for a while.

I haven't checked on the HAN/SGN fares to Europe for awhile, but MH was reliably posting roundtrips in the $1400 range that allowed for LH or KL on the ex-KUL sectors to many Euro destinations.
