Just maybe the passion of what was started is stalling a bit. I know the Italian goverment would take months to review something like that, but i wish and hope (and think) that the burocrazy of the Swedish goverment is more efficient. | ||

Another nice thing about Sweden apart from free education and healthcare is the industrial vacation time that a lot of people got, which this year is 28-31. As in the Weeks :D The winters are cold, and the summers are great. That activity and bureaucratic response times becomes worse during this time of the year is not unexpected at all. I assume that activity will resume when August/September comes around or the paperwork gets processed; unless the Stockholmers do a OSL finals thingie first. Only reason i am inside and not outside in the glorious sun looking for awesome pretty swedish girls is that i have to study-> procrastinate with OSL Ro8, but need to find a stream ^^ | ||

Also, I was planning on starting up a SBWI-clan on ICCup, so us members could keep in touch and find practice partners, but ICCup hasn't worked for me since I got back home from Italy, so I haven't been able to QQ I've tried talking to the staff there but they don't really know why it's not working either. Since I don't have an ETA on when/if that's gonna get sorted out anyone who feels up to it could start it up. I was thinking we'd create a group on Skype as well, so everyone has each other's skype address too  EDIT: and to people shouting "scam!!111", don't worry, I'm fairly sure it's not. But if it is then Jaevlaterran is a really bad conman, seeing as I've already been at his place twice and I know his full name, address and phone number. If he would be scamming us I'd be the first to leave a burning paperbag filled with dogshit outside his door after having rang his bell and started running down all 7 flights of stairs | ||

And these things do tale time indeed. The only important thing is that once the organisation is up and running final financially, then the group decideds on tournaments and events, which i think it will be! Just a question of waiting it out then and dealing with things as they come along. where there' s a will there' s a way. | ||

Not to sermonise, but give it time, and don't call scam so quickly! If I was Jaevlaterran (at this moment in time, not assumed to be a con-man) and came back and saw this, a lot of faith in the community which I was trying to help would evaporate. | ||

Doesnt seem like "jaevlaterran" has been very active in the last 1½ months or so (no posts basically) so any of the other members: what happened? Are you cooking up a grand scheme behind the scenes? Please fill us in (or me in via PM ^^) | ||

I can tell you, it's very easy to let everyday real life get in the way of stuff which takes a lot of time, for free, which you do out of your own goodness.

People refer to everything as scams because they are so frequent in BW, litterally every organization who promissed big things out of no where has been a scam. rD tours and UED.SL are perfect examples. | ||

In Sweden the government moves very slow, specially in the summer. If it was a scam it would be the funniest one I've ever seen(a scam to trick ppl into come to your house in order to drink beer and watch video games with you). | ||
