Is game 3 going to be anon?

I can up the pot to 143 (1001 total) on my part, but need at least some left for my fourth league game.

@Crazy

Let's start them tomorrow, in case there are any issues.

@Draug

We are capped at 100 by other players for Game 1

@ava

All games are classic, full press, WTA, anon

@everyone

Tomorrow, I'll ask people to make the three games, just to give people time to check things over in case there's a mistake somewhere.

I think Ivo is saying, and I agree, that we all want to play people like rhino in these GR games. I'm honestly happy for rhino to take my spot in game one if rhino would like and the others in the game don't mind, I've played numerous GR Challenge games and would like to see rhino to have a crack at the fun, again, if that's okay. I'm happy yo paly as well, it will be a great game, but prefer to step aside for the first-timer.

To the best of my recollection, I've never played MM (and I would love to), but if he wishes to give his seat to Rhino, I won't object.

I'm good with my assigned game and the parameters. Looking forward to playing you all.

wow... step away for half a day and the world turns upside down... what WAS a GR challenge has turned into a free-for-all mixing bowl of the first 21 people to have signed up.

I do not mean to demean the great work that abge has put into this effort, I know how much work it is to get these things started... but I'm going to need a few days to decide if I do or do not want in. the original deadline was for Mon Aug 9th. so I'll definitely have a response by then. If I dont enter, its good to know wer already have a few subs lined up (rhino and ivo and others will too i'm sure).

as for having played MM and Ivo so much... honestly its not that I mind playing them so much, its just that I keep losing to them that I dont like... so in that sense, I guess I should be happy I've been assigned to a game without them =P

other than that - I'll sit back, read other comments and make up my mind before the deadline if that is ok with you abge. and again - thank you for the great effort you've put into this - I actually think these parameters and game-assignments look really really good. well done.

@Babak

It seemed that it would work out better to group game by interest, rather than purely GR, since we had so many people.

@MM

I arranged the games the way I did in part because you wanted 24 hours and ivo and you wanted to play with some different people. If you're really going to go, I'll probably re-arrange this back into a pure GR game, so let me know ASAP.

MM I know you're here : )

All things considered, I'm happy to have rhino take my spot while you re-arrange things back into pure GR games. If rhino doesn't end up joining, I'd be happy to play, even 36 hours.

PS - Don't get me wrong, it's always fun/challenging to play Ivo and Babak, but I'm dying to play some of these people for the first time and am very jealous of the vets getting to play both rhino and Agent K, but I'll figure out a way to talk them into a game at some point. I'll be tracking down Draugnar and ava as well, along with a few others, but I'm on my cell phone and can't see the full list of names at the moment.

Have fun everyone.

I have two left thumbs so I type slow on these little phone keys!

No worries, MM

@MM

My last game with ava and Draug got cut short, so if you end up having room, let me know!

so sad. i wanted a shot at number one but looks like that game with mad marx will have to wait. ill prob still solo this game anyway.

Your chances of soloing go down with me not in the game, now I REALLY want to play rhino! ;-)

Ab, I (really hope I) won't join any new games until October at the soonest, so I'll try to remember, but no promises.

As MM has stated, he has given up his seat for me. Thank you sir! I look forward to the challenge.

MM, you know you were afraid of me, that's why you backed off.

Or something

@Stratagos - we already have commentary that Agent K will solo game #1. Any thoughts on how you see game #2 playing out? I am predicting Agent K will solo that game too :-)

hahaha

V+ - won 27%, drawn 38%, defeated 14%
stratagos - won 9%, drawn 43%, defeated 20%
uclabb - won 35%, drawn 26%, defeated 29%
Dunecat - won 19%, drawn 29%, defeated 26%
Alderian - won 6%, drawn 51%, defeated 24%
abgemacht - won 8%, drawn 44%, defeated 33%
fortknox - won 5%, drawn 37%, defeated 27%

I'd say the odds of a draw are pretty significant, but if anyone solos, it's going to be V+ or uclabb

Yawn I'm going to solo three Ava is a princess

Hey centurion. Fuck you. You're going down.

I'm not worried about cent. He's easy pickins as they say down here in Kentucky.

Yeah we know that's from Kentucky cause Yah can't spell pickings right.

Ava fuck you very much

Damn I like playing with yall

uclabb and V+... damn... how'd you two get so many solos. sheesh, and I thought I was 'good'... meh!

I don't want to mess this up again, I am really eager to get going. My only issue is that 300 is pretty steep for me right now. Any chance we can lower it to 143 or 150?

@Crazy

Of course. I didn't realize you had a 150 point max.

Alright, let's get this going.

Could the following people please make the games:

Game 1 (150 ): Crazy
Game 3 (100 ): Draug

Please make sure the game is WTA, anon, 36 hours, classic, full press. Let's also put a 7 day join period just to be safe. When you PM people the PW, please ask them to post here when they've joined so we know who is missing.

Let's use the following format for the game name in case people want to look on:

GR Challenge August '10 Game <#>
