He was #17 in January of this year ... not listed in April.

ab, I really shouldn't... I'm always tempted, but there are some people on this site I wouldn't want signing up after me and then be stuck playing them, I like to vary things up a bit, but I'll try to pay attention this weekend and maybe grab the last spot once we're close to the deadline and almost have the boards filled up...

What MadMarx is saying is that he doesn't really want me to sign up for the last spot to dodge abge, because he is in fact dodging me ;).

So how about it, Riot?

Tas' overall GR rating was 443.695, which would rank him between #9 and #10 on the link ab provided, so I guess his rank should be 9.5

Yeah, I haven't decided about Tas. I'm not sure it's right to let different people use different lists. I'd probably be more inclined to think about it if I heard from him instead of others.

I will vouch for the fact that having Tas be in the last spot is not fair to the people in that game. Typically if someone does not have a current GR they are allowed to take their last points total and find where it would place them on the current list. Just a suggestion though.

To me, it's more about getting people to play, and more about people playing similarly skilled players. If I'm Tas, and am stuck with a 10,000 ranking, no way I sign up. If I'm Tas, and have a 9.5 ranking, then I at least think about it, which is potential for another player, and a very good one at that.

If Tas wants to play but is concerned about where he will be placed, I'd love for him to talk to me; I'm sure we can work something out.

Tas already said that he didn't want to be on the game since he was spread too thin. He was only commenting that he wasn't on the list. Not sure the end motive of that comment (or care really), but these comments are pointless.

MM, I'm sure your goodwill comments towards Tas will strengthen your bond with him.

Are you going to sign up? Or only vouch for a guy who doesn't want in.

I would not be able to begin any games until Sunday. If that's a problem, I will be happy to bow out.

I'm in on the condition I can be in the same game as Riot. He will also be playing. (anon only 48 hours). My GR is not listed but I'd be in the top 10 based on my last score.

Challenge Accepted.

I'd love to play a game with you MadMarx if you have the time to join...

get a room jmo

I have a dungeon, it's where they keep the site admins. I haven't been allowed out to play a game in 2 years. Excuse me if I want to play the best. :)

Oh you haven't played since August, 2013... yikes. That means you must read the forums a lot. Poor bugger.

ag, quit being an ass. I've made my intentions clear.

MM, yes, you've made your intentions clear. Let's all build up some hope in case MM swoops in at the last minute. And gain influence with Tas at the same time.

Whatever man. If you're in the game, I'm out. I'd prefer not to be part of the MM ego-fest.

Alright, guys, now we're talking!

@Sulram

That's fine. Thanks for letting me know.

It's not about ego, ag, I just think it's rude to sign up and then back out if someone I don't care to play at the moment signs up after me (I know this may sound crazy, but there are some haters out there)...

@MM I don't think there are many haters for you. I overheard in jmo's dungeon they were thinking about changing the banner to MMDip. Either way, if you plan on being in, feel free to take my place. No hard feelings.

Or you could simply request not to be in each others games and both play.

@ag, actually we were considering ZultarDip but that's a surprise for his birthday.

We all love you MM. There are no haters. Just Thucy's

14 more to our goal, guys!

Throwing my hat in the ring because I have been wanting a game with some of the top full press players. However, I am certainly willing to stand aside if need be.
