If MM is going to sign up, that puts me perilously close to the edge... might be a good excuse to withdraw, given I have soon to be 6 games going on...

come folks, step right up!! let's get some more high rollers in the mix.... the people want to see a clash of titans!

For the sake of interest, the three biggest games by sum of the player's Ghost-ratings were, in order from biggest to smallest:

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=4374 SUM:2602.6

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=8867 SUM:2547.7

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=5083 SUM:2520.3

No other game has been higher than 2500.

The game where the lowest rated player had the highest rating was:

http://phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=6869

Where dangermouse's rating of 235.8 was the lowest in the game.

Interesting that they are relatively random games and not one of the GR Challenges. I especially like the one centre parts in the draws by Akroma and Rait.

@chrisp - that's probably b/c the players got distributed evenly, ie not all the highest were in the same game, i think.

Ghost is withdrawing? Come on! Lets go!!!

good turn-out so far... it has not even been 24 hours yet and we have 2 pretty good games ready to go. But thats why I also said that we'd wait a day or three before we start... not everyone has had a chance to drop by the forum yet.

As for MM, he has indicated that he'd rather not play me in another game so soon... so if he does join, he and I would be in two different games at this point (its up to him).

I'm pretty confident we'll get more players in here before we get started.

also - I do think 50 or 55hr deadlines is fine... these are supposed to be GOOD games with lots of time for real diplomacy ;)

Ghostie - we'll do more than one game I suspect... maybe even 3 like last time. (GR challenge 4-6?)

one other thing... what is the sum on this game:
http://www.phpdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=10164

it included Rait, TMG, rratclif, MM, wooooo and me... I'm curious what the sum is/was.

@Cent - I look forward to playing with you in a game as well... if anyone wants to hop in, there is a 101 pt WTA (36hr deadline) game looking for 3 more players:

hop on...

wow if babak and spell of wheels take that one, they get great big boosting of ratings.

should have said and/or

I guess I'll play.
#1 - wooooo
At least it should be that way.

hahaha LOL

I'd join Babak, but there are only a few minutes left, and if I put it up to 5 people the game will start.

@Cent good point... i guess we'll just have to wait and do another one later...

hey... No one bumps me! (I need to get my rank up, dangit)

don't worry, wooooo will be the next to be bumped, and you meet out your vengeance on him in the second game.

I refuse to be bumped. Rank #1 never goes down.

Sounds like fun I'd be keen to have a go

I want to go up, my rank went way down from last time, I'm somewhere in the 1000's...

so join the third game Onar. didn't hellalt say he wanted to play you at one point?

Well my peak rating and current rating are the same so I guess that means I'm at my peak! Not sure if that's good or bad!?

Or it means you haven't peaked yet. You're just on your way up! It's the same with me. =)

hi, I would actually like to play together with Salmaneser - haven't played with him for awhile - so could I be downgraded to second group (or third if it comes to that?)

I don't think there are any steadfast rules, Rait, so I can't see why not...

I'm thinking positive. Hopefully on the way up next month. Zoom!

Rait sure you can... put yourself into the 1st spot in the 2nd group

also - we have 5 players for this 101 pt game (WTA, 36hr deadlines) with 30 minutes to go... we need 2 more to sign up... Centurian???
