I'm very sorry about that too. We had typed in the wrong date originally, and the suspension (not ban) was to be for a full 2 weeks, not 1 and some weeks, which would essentially mean only 1 week. I'm sorry ....

I must apologize to the team, I was unable to get anything for this past weeks challenge. With the holidays and trying to negotiate a contract with a local college for their sports programs, the challenges slipped under the radar. However I intend to make up for it this week. Again, I'm sorry.

As long as we are all apologizing. I am sorry for the entries I put in this week. They are both sub par and will not score well. And I will apologize in advance for next week. Just incase. lol

Im so HARD I got red carded... beat that!

If we can win one week I hope it is against those Canon guys. They are all awesome photographers, Beating them would be very cool. I am still flat on a Bond Idea. I can get death easy. Lots of natural props around. Life is a bit tricky but can be done. I am ready for a really easy challenge theme. Something simple like photograph your favorite restuarant or bar.

Due to my ban I will miss the rest of the season.. Im a bit sad to be honest that i let the team down BUT... Im not SORRY at all .. It has given me the time and oppertunity to catch up on my editing skillz and my actual photography skill too.. I'm taking time out of team thinking until WPL4 when I'll be making a D200 team So I would really love it if one of you guys can captain THIS TEAM when I make another so we have more NIKON teams in the ring to beat the Canon guys down with

You will need to find maybe 2 or 3 new members to fill the gaps but please do not drop this team... it is a good squad that are learning fast

Please choose a CAPTAIN between you..

Over & out (allthough I'll still be watching out for you guys).

Well at least now I don't feel so bad about not entering the James Bond Challenge tonight.

as far as captain goes, I definately do not have time to be team captain. I barely have time to take pictures lately. But I will stick this out. If I start it I finish it, so I am in it til the painful end.

Is anyone else going to bail before WPL3 is over?

i'm entering bond this evening / but have to wait till the kids are in bed to shoot
had the idea at 7am / had to run out to get props ...

You said you are not going to be team captain any longer and that you are going to start a new team and bid us farewell in the process. If you look back at page 1 of this thread 1st post. You'll see it was your idea to start this team. Now you are moving on before we even finish our first season? Ban or No Ban! you should finish what you start!...

I am banned until after we play 5D, means I cannot be of any help, and even if I could we WILL NOT BE GOING TO THE NEXT ROUND, we are OUT, only the top 2 teams go through.. soooo I was saying YES Im moving on, let you down already by getting banned, and I wont be using the same team in WPL4 but it would be a shame for it to fade and die.. anyway mate.. see it how ever you wish.

I do not want to argue with you about what is going on I actually was wishing that you guys would stay together.

12/03/2006 09:33:30 PM · #498

And if we win this week?

I thought we still had a chance. My scores are high this week. Are you saying we are out regardless?

Hey, It is your team. You started it, You can quit it. I just dont think it is fair to the rest of us who have been trying real hard the past few weeks to get a win, For you to throw in the towel when we still have two chances to win as a team. So what if it isn't the playoffs! a win is better than finishing with out any. But according to your logic. It isn't worth it because we can't advance to the playoffs?

I think all the effort I put forth the past few weeks to make it into these challenges so I wouldn't let this team down makes it worth it to continue and play as a team til the end , Win or Lose!

Like you said yourself, You already let the team down once when you got banned. Now you are going to let us down again . Instead of helping us try to win at least one game you are going to start a new team and let us get beat up one last time just because we can not make the playoffs.

I guess you and I have different ideas of what the word TEAM means.

None the less this is the end of this discussion for me.

good luck with your new team MAK.
