Newbie question re power allocation
Is this purely random when you sign on to a new game? I played by email before and you could set preferences for which power you wished to play at the beginning. There seems to be no such option here, or am I missing something? I'm wondering partly because I joined two games using a creaky old browser that didn't manage to load all parts of the interface.

Drawing ethics
I have heard that Mods have the power to force a draw in a game. Is this true? And if so, in a game where one or more major powers have CDed, basically throwing the game and all the players except one or two would like a draw and the one or two who don't are exploiting the CDed player, should a draw be forced?

Hypothetical rules question, with no bearing on anything that has ever actually happened
If I were forced to disband my last unit because I was dislodged and had nowhere to retreat to, but still had a non home supply centre somewhere else on the board, would I count as being eliminated, or still in the game?

BZD - So, only three have joined... How do you plan to fill this game up? Maybe invite the next highest GR rated player every 12 hours? Invite the TWO next highest GR rated player every 12 hours (unless you don't sleep much and want to invite one every 6 hours)?

It'd be nice if people didn't say if they joined or not, then it would be even more difficult for inquiring minds (cough, cough, Crazyter, cough) to figure out who is who...

Yeah that's one reason Draug, and the other is that I was the first female DJ at my college (yeah I know I'm really dating myself now :( ) and my DJ name was CrazyTerri and the guys threw me off the air after I read the news with Jimi Hendrix star Spangled banner in the background.

dave, to be clear, my last post was regarding my request that people not say if they've joined (which you quickly ignored), not the stuff about charity.
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
05 Oct 10 UTC
For the record, Crazyter is chomping at the bit to be included in this game, which I'd tend to reward with an out-of-sequence invite, even if that's hard to believe coming from me and by how much shit I like to throw her way. :-)

ah sorry MM.... somehow I thought i was supposed to say if I'd joined... not sure why. I must have misread you post.

It was just a request, so no big deal, but I also felt a need to say something... I think I need to quit talking now...
Crazyter (1335 D(G))
06 Oct 10 UTC
Common Madmarx, you just don't want to put me in your invitational, so you're throwing me to the wolves instead in the Top 8 game. And btw how many points would I need for that game---I might be priced out of it anyway...
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
06 Oct 10 UTC
31 D for the top 8 game, 143 D for my current two invitational games.
peterwiggin (15158 D)

@MM
How did you come up with those numbers?
MadMarx (36299 D(G))
06 Oct 10 UTC
I like 143 point buy-ins to get the pot into four digits, 1001 D to be exact.

I have no idea how BZD came up with 31 D, but I thought it was pretty cool that after I joined his game and started my two 143 point buy-in games I had exactly 24,000 D left in my account (even if since I have created a 1,500 point buy-in game and a 25 point buy-in game). Damn, I'm starting FIVE new games, guess it's time to shut down joining any more for at least a few months. :-(

BigZombieDude (1188 D)
06 Oct 10 UTC
I had 1331 D so 31 gave me a nice round number. That is the only reason! I didnt see the need for a huge pot so 31 was it!

Well, 2 players have sent apologies for the game, 4 have joined up and im waiting on 3 to join. Should i get anymore apologies ill continue to work through the GR list and invite. So far its the Top 9 on the site included...if it continues this way it wont be long until i get to 17!!

If the games ticks over the pre game period i will have to ask who will actually want to play a top GR game and then start the game again with those that will actually join. Of course, being an elitist game it will be the highest GR over and above anything else. Of course, if im smashed out of the top 20 this month it wont be up to me anymore!!

Message from BZD:

"For those that are interested the Top 7, then 8 and then 9 is still not likely to start.

SO.

Im going to send invites to those in the Top 15 and should the remaining 3 spaces be filled, it will start. Should that fail, it will be the top 20 and so on. If it all fails then ill just have to think of something else but this top rated GR game will get started dam it!

Ill be sending the invites in 18 hours from now so this should give those of you that are interested time to check you boxes and get in there as soon as you can. "
BigZombieDude (1188 D)
09 Oct 10 UTC
The Top 15 have been invited.

#1 - MM
#2 - BZD
#3 - Silver Wolf
#4 - Anlari
#5 - TMG
#6 - Babak
#7 - Rhino86
#8 - Mr Dave Bishop
#9 - Gantz
#10 - Braveheart
#11 - The Wizard
#12 - Fetteper
#13 - Agent K
#14 - Rair
#15 - BESM

Of those Sir Babak and Rhino86 have extended apologies and TMG is on a break. I have no idea who has joined at this stage as it is anonymous and no one has told me otherwise. There is 2 days left on the pre game timer, so hopefully the final 3 spaces will be filled in the next 24 hours. If not, i will invite 16- 20 on the GR list.
