Asashosakari 20,224 Posted March 31, 2004 Aragyoushi- Jonokuchi-Arashio I guess the shikona change a few basho ago didn't work out so well for the ex-Omiyamoto after all. And so much for Arashio-beya expanding beyond two rikishi...didn't last long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kashunowaka 300 Posted March 31, 2004 Did Wakanojo retire this basho, or will he still be on the banzuke? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 20,224 Posted March 31, 2004 Did Wakanojo retire this basho, or will he still be on the banzuke? Well, he's not on the list Moti posted (thanks, btw!), so he's apparently not retired (yet). And if I understand it correctly, even if he does retire before the next basho starts, he will be ranked on the next banzuke, as he wasn't part of this after-basho retirements listing. Next stop Jonidan 80 or so, after his 0-6-1 performance this time... (Laughing...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takanobaka 0 Posted April 5, 2004 (edited) Well, at least one more basho before my poll comes to fruition. Still, it's a good thing. Edit: Now it's the real end of the American era. Funny how they've dropped like flies....in the past few basho we've lost Musashimaru, Hoshitango, Sentoryu, and now Kuniazuma, leaving no American former-Sekitori. Not sure if Tonga is Eartern or Western Hemisphere (I know it's right near the line), but I'm a little surprised that the successes of these guys didn't lead to more Western Hemisphere guys...

Yubiquitoyama 4 Posted April 5, 2004 (edited) Edit: Now it's the real end of the American era. Funny how they've dropped like flies....in the past few basho we've lost Musashimaru, Hoshitango, Sentoryu, and now Kuniazuma, leaving no American former-Sekitori. Not sure if Tonga is Eartern or Western Hemisphere (I know it's right near the line), but I'm a little surprised that the successes of these guys didn't lead to more Western Hemisphere guys... Yes, I agree... No more Americans does feel a little odd... :-) There are still a few Brazilians down the ranks though. Hopefully they will eventually make the big leagues :-D On another note: None of the three Kokonoe-guys who were mysteriously absent during the Haru basho ended up on the retirement list. What really is going on in that heya??? :-S :-) EDIT: Where do the times which posts are said to be written really come from? I know it isn't the time said to be my local time at least... Not only the hours but even the minutes are wrong... Edited April 5, 2004 by Yubiquitoyama Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted April 5, 2004 Couldn't it simply be those three makushita were kyujo due to injury? An unlikely coincedence perhaps, but possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yubiquitoyama 4 Posted April 5, 2004 Couldn't it simply be those three makushita were kyujo due to injury? An unlikely coincedence perhaps, but possible. Well, I don't want to count out any possibility, but 3 from the same stable (and not a particularly big stable either) in one basho is outside what can be expected. Possible, but not likely. It's more likely there is something else behind it. I just wish I knew what :-S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rijicho 6 Posted April 5, 2004 EDIT: Where do the times which posts are said to be written really come from? I know it isn't the time said to be my local time at least... Not only the hours but even the minutes are wrong... Hmmm....all I found was that the board system settings have GMT as default and then there is some strange "substract from server time". Evidently server time is given as GIVEN by the mysterious godlike server that serves this forum of ours. I will proceed with serious and determined actions to find out the bottom of this. If or when I fail, I will contact wiser humans like Exil who will then explain it easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoavoshimaru 0 Posted April 5, 2004 (edited) FWIW, the time on my posts is one hour off due to daylight savings I suspect, but exactly one hour off. On the Kokonoe-beya 3 kyujo rikishi: maybe it's a form of disciplinary action by the oyakata for some digression they did before the basho?

Asashosakari 20,224 Posted April 5, 2004 FWIW, the time on my posts is one hour off due to daylight savings I suspect, but exactly one hour off. The clock was off by a few minutes until Rijicho fixed it today (as he mentioned over in Testing). Additionally, if your posting times are off by one hour from your local time, you probably need to activate the DST offset in your control panel; it doesn't happen automatically. My Controls -> Board Settings -> check the "is DST in effect?" field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
