Same with me, as I found the airport codes in my first search, and even spent a few seconds wondering if they wer the key, but nothing came to mind... Anyway, I like it. Abraço, Luiz Mello

I don't think it's an "officially" recognized acronym, but how many idiomatic phrases have this acronym? I guess that only one has, so OIAW could be considered an unambiguous way to refer to "once in a while". -- Cheers milivella

I'm telling you, I suck at this (plus, I'm not paying > that much attention to football these days). It's OK. Please don't feel forced in any way to play! :) I just wanted to highlight that Fantasy Scout is a "once in a while" game, so if you like this philosophy... ;) (Really: FS's spirit is (at least in my mind) "I've just seen an interesting match, and I bet that that kid will do great things. Indeed, he seems undervalued right now... Oh, this seems like a Fantasy Scout line of thought. Has anybody picked him? [checks the list] No! Great, I do it. [writes an e-mail to pick the player, forgets about FS]", more than "I'm playing Fantasy Scout, so I've to find a free player to pick. Who could I pick?") -- Cheers milivella
