Jacob, the intent was to finalize the sign up next weekend, get the games started the Sunday after Thanksgiving (which is this Thursday).

Are people wanting this going over Thanksgiving? Are people wanting the cut off that time sooner, to insure Draugnar gets to stay in game two? Should Draugnar be another host of game two, since jmo already gave up his spot so Draugnar could stay in game two, and Draugnar came into this thread immediatley hoping to play both slyster and Balaran? So many questions, so little time, I'm not very good at organizing this sort of thing, but we could say sign ups end Monday night and invites go out Tuesday so people could be playing over the holiday, would this work for everyone?

I'm ready to play now. I finished a game and want another one to replace it.

I'd prefer a start either Late Tuesdau so we have all day Wednesday and can ignore the site Thanksgiving Day, or to start late Thuesday or Friday. I just don't want to be negotiating on Thanksgiving day.

Fair enough MM

*wishes Cachimbo signs up to the challenge so Draugnar would be pulled out of game 2 so he would kill an other Kitty and so I would get my rematch with MM before going on break...*

As some of you know, I often tend to go with the flow, feel things out and adjust accordingly. I wasn't sure how long it would take to get interest in this idea, so I said we'd give it a week. That said, how much interest is going to come in on Thanksgiving Day? How about we give it the rest of today, maybe another 8 hours, and get things going? I will start the top game and call it CTGRC-1 (Cut-Throat GhostRatingChallenge - Game 1). Balaran, would you start up the second game, since you are hosting it? Draugnar, would you confirm how many points you want to play for, I don't know if 50 is too much, or if you guys just want to do it for 5, so maybe there should be a bit of discussion about that first, Balaran. I will invite the top few people to my game immediately, since they cannot be bumped out, but I guess those in game two can figure out that approach. It would be nice to get these started by Tuesday night, as Draugnar says. Any objections? Speak now or forever hold your peace!

Game 1: http://webdiplomacy.net/board.php?gameID=72827

I'm thinking this will be my last game until after Spring Break, so, slyster, I'll be looking for you come April, start preparing yourself immediately, I will be well rested and ready to rumble!! ;-)

Woot! Woot!

Just for the record, I would rather start after Thursday, but if everyone else in game 2 wants to go sooner, I will jump on board.

Oh man, I have a feeling I will have my ass kicked really bad on this game....

FYI - I've invited everyone to game one except uclabb, I expect he's the only one in danger of getting kicked out, so if someone with a higher GR wants in, speak up.

*GASP*

I think you're in the clear, uclabb, but suppose you never know...

I want in and my GR should actually be in the top ten. I just havn't played enough yet.

eh... I might be out thursday/friday, so would really prefer to start on friday night earliest?
Unless everyone else would want to start wednesday... I suppose i could survive misiing half of phase 1 and half of phase 2, but then evryone would know who I am ;)
Just give me Turkey and I can put in auto-moves for 1901.

I'm also up for the after Thrusday start on game 2 and any points up to 50.

Is it anon or non-anon? And I assume full press and WTA.

Ok I have set the 2nd game to start in 4 days which is Friday. A low stake of just 20 should be ok for us with low balances!

The password you sent is incorrect, Balaran.

I really can not join until Sunday (extensive travel plans) - which I thought was the original start date. If you all must start sooner, then I humbly bow out.

Thanks MM for organizing.

MadMarx...I'd like to get in. Looks like you are using Oct. rating list...if so, I'm at #12.

Game One is going to be amazing.

Babak dropped? :(

That was what Babak wrote.

Oh yeah, I see it now.

Is starting the first game so pressing that we can't accommodate the 2nd highest rated player on the site? I would argue surely not...
