Easy guys. I am glad that you know when a post is humorous, Deby, because I find it humorous that you of all people would make a comment such as there not being enough staff members to play in such an event. Just another innocent message, of many, I assume? As I recently said in a PM to you ZeRo, we are as strong as ever and activity has picked up sharply recently, coinciding with the staff decline that you have mentioned. Definitely not of any concern. Politics aside... I would not want a staff vs. regular event because although it is all good fun, I don't want things to ever be looked at as staff vs. regular. Belt colors would be tough to do, so we'll just leave that one alone. Girls vs. Guys is indeed an interesting idea and I want to hear more people's opinion on it. If we do that, I would just request that people make their sex known (if it isn't already) so that we can fill out a team 6 and 6. Thank you for the helpful feedback thus far. Final decision on the girls/guys or not will be made late Jan/early Feb with the signup thread posted shortly after.
