Greece only has 3 SC and is not in a particularly strong position but it is in a very important with an opportunity to expand with some well composed press and alliances formed.

Having just been knocked out of my last game, I'm looking to get another quality game going. The game will be:

WTA, Full Press, Semi-Anon, 48 Hour phases, 101 D

Rules to qualify are at least 10 games, minimum 11% Win, minimum 41% Draw, no resigns except live games. Who's in?
achillies27 (100 D)
21 Nov 12 UTC
I'm in.
achillies27 (100 D)
21 Nov 12 UTC
Aww, nvm :(
I think i have a 8% or 9% win... im sad now.
achillies27 (100 D)
21 Nov 12 UTC
just checked, 9% win rate.
rdrivera2005 (3533 D(G))
21 Nov 12 UTC
Well, my win rate is below 11%, but I think I qualify as usually play just high level games.
Not playing any full press games right now, but I think that 48h phases I can handle if you want me.
achillies27 (100 D)
21 Nov 12 UTC
Oooh, I agree with this guy right here ^^^^
:)

My win ratio is 6% over, but my draw 6% under the limit. Does that compensate?
martinck1 (4464 D(S))
21 Nov 12 UTC
Perhaps if I explain my thinking, it will help.

I'm looking for a good quality game which includes people beyond the normal GR constraints, but includes people like smcbride1983, who maybe are new to the site, but have played before and are looking for a good game. It will also widen the group of players that I tend to play with.

So to reply:
@achillies27 - I would like to stick to the parameters to see if we can find 7 players who meet them. Having said that - with 28 wins, it's clear that you are a top quality player, I feel like I'm splitting hairs, so I would like to add you to the top of a reserve list, if we don't get 7 players who fit the criteria.
@rdrivera2005 - we have played a lot together, indeed just finished a game with you. Absolutely, no doubt you are a top class player, but I want to stick to my criteria. Thanks for posting.
@Victorious, yes that counts - you're in.

So the list is:
1. martinck1
2. Victorious
martinck1 (4464 D(S))
21 Nov 12 UTC
Just to be clear, the slightly modified criteria is at least 10 games, Combined Win Draw % of 52%, with a Win% of at least 11%, no resigns except live games.
Mapu (362 D)
21 Nov 12 UTC
I fit the criteria... what does semi-anon mean?
martinck1 (4464 D(S))
21 Nov 12 UTC
@Mapu - Semi Anon means that you will know who the 7 players are, but it is an Anon game played to all the Anon rules. Are you in?
ghug (5068 D(B))
21 Nov 12 UTC
I'll play.
martinck1 (4464 D(S))
21 Nov 12 UTC
Great - feel free to add yourself to list if you qualify. I'm going off-site now.

One more to get started?
I played a game on another site at the same time I started here but I don't remember my details for said site, I'm just a lucky person I think! Looking forward to this game :)

26 Nov 12 UTC
@achillies27 - would you still like to play?
Bump
I was holding off on this game because I've played uclabb and ghug recently, but I've only played martinck1 once and I've never played the other three. So sure, what the heck, I'm in.

1. martinck1

So to be clear, then ... this is a game for people who have a record of beating up on weaker opponents ... those who have held their own (but not dominated) against stronger opponents need not apply? Just listening anyway, so I'll bow out now.

The latest viral video is a brawl between shoppers. The latest "news" is that Black Friday sales are down… wonder why, you created Cyber Monday. And people don't want to get in brawls while shopping for Christmas.

Here's a Controversial Thread for You
So let's play a word game, shall we? It's a very simple game. I type a sentence, you post with your word or phrase that you think fits best. You can go to any extreme you like that doesn't make me want to punch you in the face. If "krellin-like" is your best answer, go for it. It'd probably be mine too.

Here's the question: How _______ does a nation have to be to try and execute people for creating a video across the world that didn't even make theaters?

Can Russia Spawn Two Fleets in St. Petersburg at the same time on each coast?
So I was playing as russia and during the build phase it allowed me to build two units in St. Petersburg, one fleet on the north coast and one fleet on the south coast. It allowed me to press "ready" but I didn't because I wasn't sure if it would cancel my build or something. can someone please shed some light on this? Thanks!

My apologies to the community
“You can't make alliances for reasons outside a game, such as because you are friends, relatives or in return for a favour in another game. This is known as metagaming and is against the rules because it gives an unfair advantage to those involved. If you are worried that you can't stab someone because you want to stay friends, then that's fair enough but you can't join a game with them.”
