I'm looking to celebrate cracking the GR Top 100 in gunboat with a seven-game gunboat series. If you want to put my long-overdue first Defeat on my record, read on.

Criteria:
1. Must be in the Top 100 of the June 2019 Ghost Ratings in gunboat.
2. Must be reasonably reliable--I'm not putting a hard RR cap but I reserve the right to reject players with poor RR and an uncompelling explanation for why their RR is poor. I don't anticipate needing to invoke this.

Format:
We will play seven gunboat games on the Classic map, one with each country. I don't know how many of these games I want running at once, this is open for discussion. I can handle all seven but I am sympathetic to the desire not to start seven games at once.
I will be flexible on this point, but I am hoping to have the same seven players play all seven games.


Claesar and New England Fire Squad had expressed interest already, so I reserved your names. Feel free to withdraw if you changed your mind.

I find myself, quite to my astonishment, at #86.

I used to be in the top 50, not sure now but probably still on top 100.

Dang it! I had a message queued on my computer this morning and I was going to send it after I took this final I had. I can be a sub if necessary, and it seems like you guys need a TD for country redistribution. I can serve as that if you guys want.

Is that already full? What a shame!

drivera, you're actually just shy of the top 20. Surprise!

Magnetic, we will need someone to sort the countries. Thanks for volunteering.

Some other comments.
First, thanks for the show of interest, this filled very quickly!
Second, given that we still have interested players, I have a couple of plans.

(1) If you're interested in this series, please make your interest known. If we get to seven more players I'll start another flight. I don't think I can juggle fourteen games at once, so I won't be playing twice, but maybe we can work something out with how many games are going at once, or we'll just naturally have enough interest.
(2) If we don't start a second series, I'll keep any interested parties in mind as subs. I doubt we will need them... most of you have perfect RRs and those that don't, I still know to be reliable. But if we do, keep your name in the pool so we can get you in.

Frankly, I did not expect to get a full set of players together in half a day. Thanks again for the strong show of interest. We can start tonight if everyone is interested, but first, I want to open the floor to y'all.
Players and Interested Parties: Would you want to play all seven games simultaneously, or to stagger the games out? If you prefer to have the games staggered, what is the upper limit on games you would play at once?

I think I'd limit myself to 14 additional games simultaneously.

I would join in if there is a slot available.

I'd be in for a Flight B.

I am interested seriously.
And I can play about 7 games simultaneously.

Flight B:

My RR is 89 because I missed a phase randomly in a 0 excuse game, which I took back for myself. It'll hopefully soon be back up to 95, however.

I can play 7 at once, provided the phases aren't something insane.

I can do 7 if it's at least 24 hour phases. If we do 7, I would prefer 36 hours per phase just in case.

I can do 7 games at once, preferably with 36/48 hour phases though.

Oops, knew I forgot something. I’m planning on 36 hr phases for each game yeah.

Tuck, what'll the be the buy-in?

Not sure how many points people have... thoughts on 20 per game? 140 total? Not too big a risk, especially since it’s distributed among seven games. I mostly wanted this to be a GR-centered challenge, but a cool little pot to go with it would be sweet.

"We will play seven gunboat games on the Classic map, one with each country."

Sorry for taking over your post Carl, but how are you gonna enforce that?
Will mods give a help or is there any tool to acomplish it?
