You want an Elo rating list I see...

If I can get a copy of the latest database I am happy create a new list (there are alot of people omitted on the old one, which I lost a while back, and it was an early incarnation anyway)

how is the buy-in, if there is any ?

what requirements must be met, apart from being a diplomacy player to qualify ?

is there a limit to how many players can register ?

The buy in for Round 1 games will be 5 points.
The only requirements for playing are to be registered on phpDip and to not be a multi-accounter. I will attempt to vet all players prior to beginning the tournament (if kestas is okay with it, of course).
There is no cap on the number of players yet, but there will be a deadline for registration, probably one week from now.

Do keep in mind that you will be responsible for 2 buy ins for round 1.

damn...

how long is the deadline for the buy in ?
hopefully I will manage to get a hold of enough points before the deadline runs out...

yeah hopefully i will get some points soon so i can buy in

Registered!

Here here! I lost last time in the Second round...this time I shall avenge!

I've already registered but then I thought of something. How long will the turns be?

Registered!

nice one wonderlama.
funny picard song on your site too.
picard is the man.

so, the deadline for registering is when ?

yay! I'm in.

I didn't hear a picard song...is that of the Jean-Luc variety?

Sounds cool, hopefully will have some points!

yes jean luc picard

Friendly Sword is in.

I see it now! Love that song.

Picard = Best. Enterprise. Captain. Ever. :)

Of course I'm in. =)

Gaaah, I need to win or lose a game to get enough points to sign up. XD

OK, I'm in

This is the type of league I might be able to play.... not having the same players in multiple games.

It isn't a league, but more of a knock-out.

Registered :)

And not to spoil the surprise, but isn't it pronounced 'right'?

Yes

"When two vowels go out walking, the second one does the talking" True in German at least...

so, the deadline, how long until registering closes ?

When are you thinking of running this one Llama? One before christmas, final after? If so I guess I'll join you soon.
Also, what sort of times are things running at nowadays?

I think it depends on how many entrants we get.

I'm throwing my hat in as well.

Llama. What do you mean by "I will attempt to vet all players prior to beginning the tournament"?

I'm hoping you mean that you have someway of telling which who is multi accounting.

He is a mod, so he can check various things for multis

I have a rating list from yesterday evening (GMT) and will be able to do the seeding for you if you give me IDs of the players

Well, based on that information, i guess I'll join you all.

It seems that the registration is down, as whenever I try to register, it times out. I would like to play though.

I want in

Me too...sounds like a blast.

how is rait really pronounced?

I always thought it was like rate, didnt think there was any contension...

ARG!

I'm really, *really* sorry about this folks, but my computer just took a dump and when it came back up, my database of registrants was completely gone. That means if you registered before today (Saturday, November 1st) before 2:54 PM CDT (19:54 UTC), I no longer have your registration information and you'll need to re-register. I've already made changes to the registration script to have it save a backup copy remotely, so this won't happen again.

I'm really sorry about the trouble this causes anyone and look forward to playing you folks in the tournament.

ahhh right

Rait is really pronounced like "right". He cleared this up for us a while back.

mrfixij, you should be able to register again now. You were apparently trying while my machine was down.
