I'll be a back-up judge. I will be gone for the first half of the IO so at least for the first part I won't be able to judge, but if you are still in need of a judge after I'm back I will be glad to help out.

Good luck everyone!

It should probably be added that if you want to complain about the teams, I'm the one to yell at.
Also, while Team Mate is an awesome team name (I did come up with it last year), it's not set in stone. The judges will have to discuss this thoroughly.  

I'm pretty content with the teams. CSD and Deku were on my team last time.
This also gives Yuggy a spot on the comic.

That was accidental. If you want, I can change the teams around to create a better mix.

It's fine, I was just pointing it out.

Sure, I'll join!

Woot! We've got this, Team 1!

Yeah, our team is OP.

Bryan joins team 3!

So remember how I said that if we should have a real life IO it should be set in the North Atlantic because that would probably be where the average position of our members would be? Well, I found the average position of our participating members, and it is approximately 38.4 latitude, -55.68 longitude, which is approximately in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean, although it's a little bit towards the coast of the North America.

If you're wondering about individual teams, Team 1 is off the coast of Canada, you could call it the Bay of Maine, but really it's probably the Atlantic Ocean. Team 2 is between Morocco and the Canary Islands, which I think is technically the Atlantic Ocean. Team 3 on the other hand landed in North America! We ended up with Lake Michigan.

That's cool. I could probably visit my team's base, and still get home for dinner! (with proper scuba gear, I guess)

I would dominate in the mental part of that, and not much else.

Team Mate?

What about us?

The old team name for the judges.

No, we were the Judgernauts last year.

Oh yeah. Well, a name suggestion for the judges from last year.

MEMEMEMEMEMEM!!!! I WANNA JOIN!!! I PROMISE ILL VISIT MORE!!!

is shos still a mod? O_o

somehow yes

shos should join team 3!

Shos, you've been added to Team 2!

Message to the teams: hurry up with picking your names, b/c the IO starts in two days!

Does Team 2 have an unfair advantage because they have six members?

We put shos in that team b/c we believed without him team two had the least estimated activity rate of all the teams.

Lol, our team just became a wee more inactive with DBX's post on the Reasons For Not Being On topic.

good thing we have Isa the octopus on the staff. This was his idea
