Great! Yeah, your ranking is definitely top 50 :). Do you have any preference for phase lenghts? I joined the GR challenge too, and that's part of what inspired me to create another high level game to come back to.

I tend to have trouble getting enough good press in with anything less than 24 hours (can't check WebDip at work). Other than that, I'm fine with whatever. 24-48 seems to be the norm, and that works great for me.

Like jmbo, I would prefer something in the 24-48 hours category (closer to 36 or 48 ideally), but, I would also be interested. Everything else, I am fine with whatever other players once.

(I might need a couple of brief pauses in the next couple of weeks, especially with a 36 hour or shorter phase, but maybe not.)

I can play such a game if it has at least 36hr phases. And I might need one week pause between July 23-30th.

so 36-48 hours (based on what other people say, I lean towards 48 hours), probably anon, and an understanding that we may need a couple of pauses? points to be decided once we have more people?

Sounds great so far Socrates.

A_Tin_Can has also expressed interest in the game, with a preference for 48 hours.

So for now we need two more players, and the game will be classic, wta, semi-anon and 48 hours.

Looking forward to this guys.

Sure. Thanks for the nudge! Sounds fun

if you need one more, i would offer my services --my GR is 103

I don't have any strong feelings on bet size, if it's getting close to time to decide that.

I'm afraid ssorenn that I have 7 fitting the GR criteria. Thanks for the offer though. If you would like a game with me though i'ld be more than happy to play!

48 hours, semi-anon, classic, wta. just need the buy ins. i'm not too bothered, and judging by total points available A_Tin_Can has the least, so I guess he can ultimately decide, but I was thinking just 150-250?

bump

No point preference here.

No worries. When you have time let me know

No point preference. 150 will be my biggest game yet!

I'll wait for rdrivera, ogion and jmbostwick's opinion before I make the game, but I think 150 is a good bet?

150 works for me 36-48 hours is ideal

150 works for me as well. What's the meaning of "semi-anon"? We all know who's in the game, but the game itself is anon so we don't know who's playing each country?

That's correct.

thanks A_Tin_Can - that's exactly what I meant by semi-anon :) i'll double check with rdrivera and then send out passwords - I'm looking forward to this - thanks for participating guys

This game is waiting on one more player to join. Is it you? Check your PM :)

Thanks a Tin can, I will message people again once it hits a day to go.

Great, thanks Socrates! I was just trying to hurry it along, as this weekend is a bad time for it to start for me..
