Perhaps Kassiopeia is implementing the "cause suffering" part of Finnish evil.

[Skanky Burns]

Well, the delay can't be because he is sleeping - he doesn't do that sort of thing.

[Space05us]

is it tommorrow in Finland yet?

[Immortal Wombat]

Its 7:24am in Finland. God knows what hours Kassi is keeping at the moment.

[Uncle Sparky]

OK... its already Jan. 8th in the civilized part of the world...

Did kass ever specify which new year the results were to be posted in ? He is an Evil Finn after all !

3 PM now; Kassi's schoolday should end between 2 PM-4 PM (high school). You could except the results to arrive during the next 6 hours, possibly even sooner.

And for the sake of honesty, don't blame Kassi for being late, he was practically forced to play Civ2 MGE MP with us, the other Finns at the time he should've processed the data and posted the results.

I tried to get around to it last night but I was just way too tired. I'm half-way finished now though.

And it's NOT high school! It's upper secondary school. The Finnish upper secondary and the American high school are lightyears apart, you could just as well call lukio a kindergarten.

Uhh, last time when I called "lukio" "collegeorsomething", you said that the closest thing in US to lukio is high school.

...OTOH, that was more than a year ago.

[Kassiopeia]

The closest thing in the US is the high school, yes, but that does not warrant calling it "high school". No need to beat around the bush, just say it's the upper secondary. The English language does have the word gymnasium, too.

The US high school is a compulsory level of education from the 9th to the 12th grade. The Finnish upper secondary is a non-compulsory level of education from the tenth to the twelth grade, to name the most radical difference. The Finnish system is more comparable to the French or German ones. The US system has vocational high schools while we have our own schools to throw the idiots technically-inclined into, for goodness' sake.

So, if there isn't an identical thing in the US, why are you excepting that anyone in there would understand the word "upper secondary"?

And don't waste your time debating from this, you have IWS information to refine to ACS, for badness sake.

Well, maybe just say "Finnish high school-like school" or just gymnasium or something. Or then you're just SOL; but you can't call an apple an orange in any case. Let them look it up, "upper secondary" is an existing phrase.

I get utterly bored after a few minutes of doing it, this serves as good distraction. It's dull, monotonous work that requires lots of attention and precision. We are supposed to have computers for this kind of stuff...

By the way, no MP today. Ignorance and Stefu both said they'd be unavailable on Thursday.
