Since I play terrible these days, hence skipping games, I want to encourage everybody to participate in Split's top7 series. Especially those, who can afford 500-1000 D bet size and have never played quality gunboats.

I think everyone should experince from the inside how does it look (and feels) like, when other players are trying to keep the balance, not letting anyone get too strong, or to weak thereof.

Split's series is a great initiative and helps a lot to improve the quality of games. However, pulling new faces into this league is very much needed and encouraged I guess. So guys, speak up, and volunteer!

I don't put a lot of stock in GR, but I was around 30 last month so I'll be down for a bet in the 500 range I guess

I'm looking forward to perform better then i did last time where a NMR cost me all chance of victory and reduced the rest of my game to staying alive.
Stupid hospitals. :P

Also i did not even know i am actually GR 7. Was always too lazy to check up. Can someone post the link please?

If nobody else takes that final spot, I will - current GR is 15th, all time 13th, FWIW.

So it seems I have to belie myself, and I will actually join this one. Split was kind enough to invite me personally and being very persuasive made me change my mind :)

I think I'm 4th by GR, which will not be that high anytime soon, thanks to my "stunning" performance recently. So I guess this is my last chance to join a top7 game anyway, before February GR comes out :D :D
:) thanks no#4,I appreciate it!
If only I could get no#3,one of the best gunboat players the site has ever seen, into this that would be great! Anybody seen him?

I hope you'll succeed Split to put a REAL top7 together for once.

However, I think it would be a nice idea to create another game which Yaleunc, josunice and 2wl can join. After my earlier post encouraging them to volunteer, and they actually did, I feel obligated to create a game with top7 players and them combined.

So the question is, who from the above 6 names (from Partysane ... to Split) is willing to join a 2nd game.

Let's call it top22, as josunice is the 22nd.

josunice, 2wl, yaleunc, are you in? 36 hours, wta, 300-400 D bet size I'm thinking.

I'd love to play a higher bet game with you guys.
rokakoma (19138 D)
27 Jan 14 UTC
I create a separate thread for that now.
There are plenty of other great players close to top7 and I think every one of them have been invited at least ones into this series,I've allways taken care the next game wasn't the same as the one before.
That's why I wanted this 10th,anniversary,top7 game to be as "high" as possible.
I'd play with these guys too if needed but I think that game could be filled out without us pretty soon. y2kjbk,guak,Jose,Lando,Nesser...are allways ready for a top gb game...

lack of armies in f2f
i don't get to play face to face games very often, but the last times i did, i noticed that in the board game version (at least the one we played), there is only a limited amount of armies and fleets for every power, namely nine fleets and nine armies. the rulebook suggests (if i remember correctly) that if you run out of armies (or fleets, but that is unlikely) that you have to use fleets instead, which strikes me as a really odd concept. am i missing something? or how do you all handle this?

Opinions on Variants
I'm a relative newbie on the site and have played all but 1 game on the classic map. The one game I am playing on another map (Ancient Med) I am not enjoying it as much. And its not because I am doing terribly, because I am tied for most SCs and have a good ally. I was wondering what the general opinion on the different variants are, as in which is the best and whether you prefer the original map or a variant map as your favorite game. It will be interesting to hear feed back from a lot of you.

Unrated games
They have them on vdip now, and I think we could use them too.

Bet size 0, doesn't affect any stats. This way people can't worry about stats when playing in the Masters for example, making it genuinely only about the tournament without having to cancel. Just one of many reasons to introduce this.
