Probably fine; if the official rules call it something else, then things can just be renamed (though, there is already a page for "Inner Planets", perhaps that could be integrated somehow).

So I did, sorry. It's a pretty good test, and reminds me a lot of how Solar System was in 2014-2015.

Ok, I'll go edit that into the wiki.

Prospective, hence I've not decided for sure which ones I'm going to do. I'll probably end up doing 7 or 8 primarily, only doing others as a backup.

Unome, the practically inhuman superstar, with the ability to succeed in all of his events, despite there being so many of them, must be out-of-this-world!

I have no regrets.

The National site appears to be semi-updating? There aren't new links, but topics are going up on the event pages (e.g. Chem Lab is physical properties as expected, Remote is climatology, etc.).

From what I can tell, things seem to have been slowly updating over the last few weeks. The Short Event Descriptions were up around a week ago (or earlier), though last I checked, most event pages haven't been updated.

Not sure how recently this happened, but the 2018 test packets have dropped.
