Gunboat for idiots

Vaftrudner (2533 D)
01 May 12 UTC
I grow tired seeing the same sensible and rational openings over and over again. I want to play a gunboat with a decent pot, quality players and something very odd happening. So I propose the following:

- A 143 D buy in
- 25 or 48 hour phases, to be agreed on
- WTA anon gunboat
- A gentlemen's/ladies' agreement to NOT use any of the 10 most common openings for your country

As reference, I say we follow my newest stats: http://www.draugnar.com/VaftStats/openings/gunboats.html

So if you draw England, you can't do a Churchill. You can, however, make a Pudding or do the brilliant Clyde variation of The Splits. If you're Germany, you can experiment wildly with Silesia or Heligoland Bight or even Bohemia. If you're Turkey, you're fucked.

I'm very curious what kind of game this variant would produce. And I also want to be amused. Who is with me?

Players:

1. Vaftrudner (prefers 25h)
ulytau (541 D)
01 May 12 UTC
Awesomesauce.

I can be plenty schizophrenic with standard openings. Just have me play Italy! :)
Vaftrudner (2533 D)
01 May 12 UTC
To sweeten the deal, I will award you Idiot points after the game. They are calculated like this:

x = The current placement of the opening you chose, up to 100
If your opening was so brilliant that it's not even on the list, it defaults to 100

Idiot points: For a defeat, 0 D, for a survive, x points, for a draw, 2x points, for a win, 5x points

So if Austria opens Vie S Tri / Tri H / Bud -> Ser and wins, the player gets a magnificent 5*65 = 325 D.

These points are of course useless. Don't let this distract you.

CSteinhardt (9560 D(B))
01 May 12 UTC
It sounds fun, but like with the other fun game advertised, I'm new here so I have a large fraction of my points tied up in games. I can't really play 143, I think.
Timur (673 D(B))
01 May 12 UTC
Don't know standard openings, but seriously drunk, schizophrenic and stupid. Would probably f*ck them up anyway. In or not?

Vaftrudner (2533 D)
01 May 12 UTC
Timur, I've seen plenty of odd moves in low pot games. I want to see what happens in a game with good players who can salvage the situation, and when there is actually something substantial at stake. That's why I wanted to make the pot 1001. Although I encourage anyone to try this out.
CSteinhardt (9560 D(B))
01 May 12 UTC
If you really can't find a 7th, let me know and I'll try it. It does sound interesting, just that I'm still low on points.

Best Webdip Chess Player?
I think it would be interesting to find out who the best chess player on webdip is and see if there is any correlation between that and their GR. Though they would likely be very good at tactics, I know a lot of people who are good at chess and socially awkward, which I would think would make them less likely to be able to effectively negotiate.

What are your thoughts? Would anyone be interested in setting up some type of chess tournament?

There is no strategy for Austria
When Turkey, Italy and Russia attack you there is no strategy to survive. I would even say that if two of the three attack you and there is no third person who tries to ally with you, you just die. Does anyone have a successful history with Austria? its my least favorite starting point because there is basically no hope for a win
