Hey guys,
I just did a blog post talking about the upcoming Minecraft series on SAIM Industries on the respective blog, but I have a few things to say here.
I haven't played Minecraft since the 31st of December 2018, and so I want to go into the game as fresh as possible. I know that there was a new update called Caves and Cliffs or whatever, but I don't want to know anything about what it includes. I know there are lots of new blocks, items, and mobs, so I'm excited about being very upset with what the game has become, but at the end of the day I just cannot wait to play on a server with my buddies Akirasora and Ihasnotomato.
Not only has it been a few years since I last played Minecraft in any capacity, I haven't played survival mode seriously and built anything since the start of my Mine Craft Building Stuff: Colossal Conclusion series when I played survival in it. That was 7 years ago!
So it's going to be awesome and it can't come quickly enough!
See Ya!
Hello,
So continuing my story so far, I joined Espirit at the end of 2017, and after one race I fired Fournier because her hotheadedness was impeding my chances of keeping my job. I promoted the reserve driver Amy McCloud into Fournier's seat. We finished 10th in the constructors championship as expected, and the chairman was happy with that. What I didn't know was that we could lose our place in the World Motorsport Championship (WMC) by finishing 10th. The champion team of the Asia-Pacific Championship (APC) is invited to join the top tier, but they declined and so I realised that I had to finish higher than 10th to stay in WMC.
I spent $52 million on the 2018 car, but we struggled at first. Johnny Navarro scored an 8th place finish in a wet race, so we looked pretty good for a few races when realistically we were struggling to consistently finish in the top 15. Both Navarro and McCloud suffered neck injuries during the season, so for five races I ran the reserve driver Ellie Marsh, who was really popular but awful on tyres. Sometimes even if she wasn't in the event, fans would act as though she was the one to beat. The only points finish for most of the season was Navarro's 8th place. In the mid-to-late part of the season, my bank balance ran into the negatives by a few hundred thousand, so I didn't design and build any new parts for the cars. I had to concentrate a little more on the races because I knew that our cars were capable of scoring points, I just didn't know how to do it and still don't. Then, with a handful of races to go, we scored some points. Johnny is my best driver and so I'd been putting the best parts into his car. When he crashed on lap one I felt like the race was ruined. By the late point in the season, my typical strategy was to run Johnny flat out until he had a delta of 1 lap less fuel than he needed to finish the race, and then run him on normal engine power and mediate the tyre temperatures for the rest of the race, pitting when the tyres got to half way or if he was in good track position run him until they were at 30% or the rain was coming. McCloud's strategy was to run her at push or attack and with normal engine power with one lap less fuel so that she had a weight advantage and could therefore run at slightly faster lap times. I also ran her with one level harder compound tyres. So Johnny crashes, then we're under safety car after another driver crashes and then the race continues, I decide to hang on with McCloud and we get to the end of the race and finish 9th. It was a huge relief. I'd agonised over whether to pit her or not and decided that I would finish a few seconds or positions down if I pitted and that I would have a better chance of points if I kept her out for the rest of the race. After that we were 8th in the constructors championship, on target with our set goal.
Then came the final race of the year at Dubai. The last three races of the year I had access to my old setups from the previous year, so I had a good advantage with setup direction. Our cars were set up well for Dubai, but in the race Johnny was shocking. He couldn't get past many people and stayed in the back of the field, while McCloud hung on to finish 12th. I was pretty happy with that, and then I saw the constructors championship leaderboard and learned that I'd been knocked to 9th by Velan Racing. Grrr... So now I was familiar with the way the game worked and knew that my time at Espirit was at an end. I'd failed to achieve the objective, and the Chairwoman was not very happy with me. Now I'm at the first round of the 2019 championship and she still hasn't fired me, so I'm pretty sure I'm on thin ice. The 2019 car cost about $42 million, but the car is better than last year's so maybe we're in a better position. I'm not optimistic, but I am confident that we have some great setups sorted for the new year. I think I should also focus hard on making the best engine that I can. Speed let us down too often I feel. We didn't build a gearbox in 2018, so the full goal for 2019 in my eyes is to build things that make the car go fast.
Anyway my water is boiling.
