FYI - I'm not crazy about 48 hour phases and am more than happy for Jacob to take my spot... I'll consider 48 hour phases if you need a seventh, but hopefully you'll fill up without me, should be a good game:

#8 Jacob
#12 bartdogg4
#13 djbent
#14 Babak
#15 Centurian
#55 Bugger

possible alternate - #2 MadMarx

Is 48 too long for you MadMarx? I prefer 36 myself.

Yep, 48 is too long, I like 36 as well...

I'm just so busy with school and work that having two full days makes it much more likely that I'm going to have time at some point during the phase to communicate.

But I will bow out if everyone else wants 36 =)

I know MM is just saying that anyway because he's scared to play me :P

lol... so we have 5 players... with 36 or 48... i'm going to start PMing other top players if we dont get more responses this weekend. I'd love to get this game going on Mon or Tue.

I'm actually eagerly awaiting this game. I've been wanting to try out a good anonymous game and I think it will be extra fun knowing who is in the game, but not knowing who's who.

I'll be ready Mon or Tue

I have been too, I really hope I'm not bumped out of it.

Scared, true, but I will accept your challenge of 48 hour phases if that's the length Babak goes with... Prepare to DIE!!!! ;-)

hehe... we shall see =)

bump for now

Another extra, should you be unable to fill all of the spots:

Friendly Sword- Ghostrating rank #53

My preference is 48 hrs, but I am willing to go with 36.


Alternatively, if anyone is intereseting in joining a 101 point WTA, anonymous, and with 48 hr phases, check out 'Know Thine Enemy'. password 'Enemy'. I apologize for the shameless hijacking Babak, but as you can guess it has been very difficult trying to fill this game- and I have already resorted to PM's.

hey babak, i am going out of town from thursday til sunday. i didn't realize until now that i won't really have internet access - can we postpone this game for another weelk?

if not, i understand, and will graciously bow out.

actually - yeah, I'd like to postpone it myself as well, because I have to go up to NYC for 3-4 days to protext Ahmadinejad's speech at the UNGA... if any of you dippers are up in NYC and want to join us for the protests (Tue, Wed, and/or Thu) check out this website: www.voices4iran.org

hmmmm...I was looking forward to joining this game tonight, but I guess I can wait another week =)

ok, fantastic. looking forward to it.

Buggar and Friendly Sword - I have to apologize to you both. I have had two of the people on this list PM me and tell me very specifically they would only join if it was made up of top 25 players only. the reason they stated was that they are already in plenty of games and would be joining this for the GR-status of the players.

personally, I cant say I disagree with them, since this WAS the premise of the game already...

although I am willing to play a game with you two separately, I do have to apologize if you feel slighted (specially you Buggar since you've indicated interest from the begining...)

so that means we are still a few short of 7 players, right? i guess it's good then that we have another week to recruit...

Naw, its cool. Personally I don't believe the distance between the top 25 and the top 60 or so is that vast, but it is probably because I am part of the latter group. :D

Its important we get this going before october though, because judging from recent games, I might not even still qualify.

bump up. What's the latest?

If its going to be 48hrs, with finalising in builds/retreats, I'll throw my hat into the ring.

I'm #23 btw.

bump. looks like we have 7 top 25 players now... will get it going once djbent gets back

Who are the seven finalists, just to be clear?

I believe the four in the title plus ghost, jacob and you madmarx.

Do you guys really badly want a big pot. I'm not a fan on risking my ability to open WTA games to accumulate something which I don't put any value to.

Whoops, screwed that up a bit.
