Heh, if I knew what a Roughneck was I'd probably understand :-)
Yeah, 90% is a pretty good chance. My tests should be over by then,
definitely, so things are looking up.

Oooh, a large MOC on IOM? I'm intruiged :-)
I was thinking we should plan our actions better this year. I recommend
considering planning a modular display, with each of us bringing mostly
pre-assembled sections, rather than just "winging it" like we did last year.
If we could draw up a map and divide it into sections, we'd know what's
coming at us.
I think a 4x4 section map would be reasonable (16 people) - or perhaps an
8x8 with smaller sections, and each of us bringing a few sections. I am even
thinking to try some landscaping on the modules and coordinate this so that
the sections will integrate seamlessly.
E.g. I bring section 3, a 48x48 piece:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 N
9 10 11 12 W + E
13 14 15 16 S
(The total map in this example is 192x192 bricks - not huge, but not shabby
at all!)
I discuss my secion with Wilson (section 2 in the example) and decide that
our border will be 5 bricks high in the "north" end, gradually decreasing to
4 bricks high in the south end. The border will be tan. It doesn't matter if
the slope decreases in different spaces: we can remedy that on the spot.
Then I talk to Chris (section 7) and decide our border'll range from 4
bricks high (west end) to 3 (east), and will be mostly green (except tan on
the west end of our border). And so on, and so on.... preferably the
discussion is public, and the map agreed on by all, so that we can plan well.
The bottom two bricks of every border will be reserved for connections (we
should standardize them somehow: e.g. a technic hole every 6 bricks, or
something like that).
How does that sound?
