if i win my game against marx i may be highly ranked :p

alas i fear this is not going to happen...

Us Diplomacy candyasses feel left out. :(

*Drops even further down the rankings.*

ohai

Ahh, Goldfinger. Now I know you're in that game I'm trying to win. ;-)

goldfinger: I can put you down tentatively for the KEA set -- I suspect you'll jump high enough with a draw from that crew to be fine.
orathaic: Hey! We haven't played since one of MM's Invitationals several months back. You should definitely sign up for something in here. =)
Kingdroid & SacredDigits: sup, GR Challenge is available if you like

Hey now, people aren't talking about games that are actually in progress now, are they?! Keep in mind, I created THREE anon games, so don't be so confident you are in the same game... (FTR - I have no idea who is in which game, I won't know until they end, and I'm looking forward to finding out.)

Wish I could play with some of you, but I'm not joining any new games until this fall, I must get outside this summer as much as possible, and for some reason I find a game of diplomacy more interesting than yard work... so I guess I need to minimize the games of diplomacy.

Wtf is the GR challenge?

Meh, I'm terrible at diplomacy. I'm alright at gunboats, but interacting with people just doesn't work for me.

Ghost Rating Challenge. You sign up, then once Ghostie spits out the July rankings we pair people up into games based on their GR.

I'd be up for a 24hr or less game.

Add a time spec for me... No less than 24 hours per phase.

Yeah, I'd greatly prefer 36 hours phases.

Id be interested in playing in the more higher teir matchs. Ive played this a bit, and well fact ive either won or tied 75% of my matchs should hopefully account for something. Im also in postion to either win or tie all of my current matchs as well.

The Hanged Man (sorry, this got left off last post): GR, KEA, or both? I'd love to have you.
Please-not-turkey: Tentatively putting you down for KEA. You don't seem to have a Ghost Rating, but your record is promising.

Hey there PE. Not sure if you're brave enough to take me on again. But if you're feeling up to the challenge I might be able to make a bit of a time for one of your little challenges.

It would have to be 36hr's + though, your just not important enough to squeeze in everyday. =P

Well isn't that sweet of you picking me as the target. Next thing I know you'll be putting a bounty on my head just in hopes with the whole board on your side you might have a chance. ;)

(Watch me totally not qualify for the event. My GR is on a downward spiral of complete inactivity. xD)

Meh, I'll join the Gr Challenge I guess :/

WOAH CALM DOWN KINGDROID! DON'T GET TOO EXCITED!

Thanks eden, ya ive been looking for my ghost rating but havn't been able to find it. Hopefully my rating comes out good and i qualify for the big boy tournies. Keep me updated :)

lol abge. I'm just a little ball of energy when it comes to Diplomacy.

So who was just in that jacked as hell WTA game? I was Germany - thank you for everyone who supported me running around the map

Woops wrong thread my bad...

By the way, if you're the kind of player who will, at 14 centers with divided competition, carry a 7-center allied power with you to a 2-way draw instead of taking the win, you need not apply.

((Just kidding, sort of. I'm not going to dictate what you must do in these invitationals, obviously. But it would be really nice if we could not carebear this thing up. Thanks.))

Either, both, or neither events for me if there happens to be interest in the relatively shorter (24hr or less) phases. If everyone wants longer, no problem and I'll sit this one out. Playing two 36 hr games now is already enough to make me claw my eyes out; if I did four I'd have to start shooting up shopping malls.
