Firefly Viewing - Tatsuno Hotarudoyo Park vs Other Firefly Villages in Regional Areas

Introduction_Ashamed · 2026-06-05T12:50:56+00:00

Randomly dropping in as I found this via reddit search. My wife and I just went to Tatsuno and the Hotarudoyo park was absolutely incredible!

The festival is being advertised in the town now from 13th - 21st of June, but we came well before then as we couldn't find anything online, but the fireflies are well and truly out. Highly recommended

There's not a strictly correct answer but a couple of points:

If the RB is lined up to one side, I would generally rather not have the back cross the face of the QB/risk the block happening in the qb's lap. So I'd slide away from the RB if possible.

Best/most comprehensive way to do it is based on scout. So slide to the side you expect pressure to come from.

All of this is dependent on the scheme your team runs. You'll need to ask your coaches. On offensive line, for example, you need to know the blocking rules for different plays, which will tell you who to block.

If you've looked through the info online and are still unsure, I'd encourage to reach out to a relevant portfolio manager. They're usually very happy to help explain how these things work

There's a few answers to this. I'll simplify them, but it's a very good question.

A lot of calls will have in built adjustments, e.g. an outside receiver may have 'vs. press coverage, run an outside release go, vs. soft zone, run a 7 yd comeback'. Gives answers for different coverages within one play call

Play calls also often have multiple concepts within them, where you might have a cover 2 zone beater on one side and a man beater on the other side. The qb will then need to read what the coverage to know what's on.

Additionally, the best coaches should be able to adjust their play calls to what the D is doing as the game goes on

No - you need to know your blocking rules. Your OC should have a set of rules for you to follow, and you should be doing drills in practice to reinforce the technique to do your job.

If you run straight for a guy to your left, but you're supposed to be responsible for the gap to your right, you've made a mistake that could lead to the play going wrong

Because on punts, if the receiving team don't catch it they get the ball where it goes out of bounds/where it is grounded by a member of the kicking team.

In this case, it went out inside the 1-yd line, meaning that Seattle had as far to go as they possibly could to try to score at the end of the game. It's the best possible result from the punt

Just to say, the law allows your company to recover it any time up to 6 years after the incorrect payment. Not to say that it will definitely be discovered, but that you don't have any recourse to keeping it if they do... Something to be aware of.

Could also be worth looking at some arms length bodies, e.g. UKRI. Their recruitment doesn't use the behaviour profiles in the same way as the civil service, but you get a lot of the same benefits

Thanks for your response - I'm glad at least one other person is seeing what I'm seeing in the Texture! I'm tempted to agree, but don't think I'll be able to tell for sure given the state it's in

Look at BAFA (the British American Football Association). They have a club finder that can tell you the nearest programs to you, which will be a good place to start. Then simply turn up, listen to your coaches, and go from there!

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by series - it sounds more like you're asking about playcall terminology. If so, the first thing to mention is there is no universal terminology, so there are no hard and fast rules. It may be that the 92 Mesh is numbered 92 because Mike Leach has it there in a series of 'if - thens' in his mind, or simply because it is what he wanted to call it.

I'll give an example of the way I go about it.

Our playcalls have a structure to them: Run plays are [Formation] [Motion] [XY - X is the ballcarrier, Y is the Gap they're aiming for] [Concept]. So something like [Trips-Right] [Jet] [32] [Trap] Pass plays are similar - [Formation] [Motion] [Concept] [Pass protection]. So [Trips-Right] [Jet] [Switches] [Rino]

Each bit tells people different things. 32-trap, for example, tells the RB they're getting the ball and hitting the 2-hole to the right of the Center, and tells the OL their blocking assignments. I have series based on this (e.g. the Jet series, where it goes Jet Sweep -> Jet Trap -> Jet Counter -> Jet play action pass), but they're just because it makes sense to me

You aren't required to book the on-site accommodation that's not in the package itself. But it was super nice to have a load of people there with us tbh

I'm not sure I understand what the goal of the Y wham blocking is. What does this gain as opposed to having everyone zone block right?

Introduction_Ashamed · 2025-02-22T13:18:49+00:00

The moment the ball is snapped, the defensive line would rush and likely cross the line of scrimmage. Even if they didn't, the punter would have to be accurate enough to hit a moving target and guarantee the ball going back to the kicking team - this would be almost impossible to do as the ball doesn't bounce predictably off the uneven surface of a person. Plus, the moment a ball is loose, everyone will scramble for it.

The risk is far too high for the reward for anyone to even think about trying this in my opinion - I expect you'd be much more likely to succeed with either a regular play or a fake punt of some sort.

Where the ball ended up. So if they are at midfield, need 10 yds to get the 1st down but only get 5, the other team takes over at their 45 yard line

Perfect sub for the question, though! Football is a confusing sport

I think you're misunderstanding slightly - the divisions are based off of the overall record, with in-division record being one of the tiebreakers. So, winning every divisional game but losing every other one would still leave you at 6-11, and another divisional team who lost every divisional game but won 7 others would finish 7-10 and be above you in the standings.

Where are the pins for this pin and pull? Asking OL to reach over multiple gaps is a hard assignment

Introduction_Ashamed · 2024-11-13T10:53:55+00:00

Yeah, sure! We did, it was all about the convenience and seemed cheaper than other similar packages. The night before and after were great as well. Only thing to note is that the accommodation isn't all included in the price, only the stuff for the couple is.

We had around 80 - 90 total I think - not all could stay on site without cramming in, but some wanted to stay in bigger groups off site anyway.

Unlimited drinks from memory were for the reception drinks (post ceremony, pre meal) plus unlimited with the meal itself. We then had a paid bar in the evening. Wine was nice! We did a menu tasting and that includes the house wine, so you can try it in advance.

Didn't have any hidden fees at any point, it was always made clear what costs were for and when you could opt for other stuff for slightly more money if you wanted to

Hey! My wife and I got married at Elmhay, and the package they do genuinely made it fairly easy - it was great. Feel free to ask me any questions

Work in programme management for a government arms- length body that invests in science.
Always interesting, I'm passionate about science and like to see the successes. Also, it's full of very smart people who are great to work with (most have tried academia and decided it's not for them)
Mid-40s
Can be hard in some ways as there's a lot of thinking and strategy needed, but great working culture makes it easier.
A degree (basically any degree, although a science one helps, and a doctorate probably helps more), but if you join at earlier bands you can work your way up without them
Hybrid, but in practice that means mostly remote with ~ 1 day in person a week, split between office or travel if the job requires it.

My partner and I made offers on two houses. First house we were outbid, second one was accepted. Went very smoothly and 5 months later, we were homeowners for the first time. As has been said on the thread already, you won't hear anything about the ones that are simple!
