Shouldn't we segregate PPSC/WTA? PPSC is a pretty significant variant on WTA.

Then maybe group by anon/non-anon, and whatever seven pairings come up can set their own phase lengths etc.

Well, the point is to play games with closest GR. But, of course, no one will be forced into a game they don't want to play.

Maybe not by anon/non-anon, then. Anon trumping non-anon works. But PPSC/WTA *is* a pretty significant difference.

Well, right now, every game will be WTA. Let's just see if there are people who really don't want to play WTA.

I know Indy specifically said he wouldn't. The rest may be alright with WTA. *shrug*

None of this is my call, to be sure, I'm just bouncing ideas around.

Right now, it seems that only 4/35 people prefer PPSC, so let's just wait and see if any of them take issue.

New to this - is it the all-time Ghost-Rating that you're counting, or the Feb 11 one?

I'm 378th for February, but 1166th all-time.

WTA/PPSC, anon, 5-10pts, no pref for deadlines, but faster is better than slow.

The one for February.

Considering this is GR, winning vs losing vs draw has significant differences in changing your GR... so I'd assume WTA would be preferable, since that would best distinguish how your GR would be affected by the game?

I could be talking out of my ass on this one, though... hopefully it makes sense.

So, when we doin' this?

i guess waiting to see if folks signup today and tomorrow.

Registration ends Friday at 8pm EST.

PEOPLE, JOIN SO I MAY PLAY!

Could I join?

Yes. Just put your name and GR for feb on the list.

I've read the thread and because kind of new, I don't think I have a rating yet. Can I join as an unrated?

Sure. Consider your GR as 0 and put your self at the bottom of the list.

Does it have to be february? I've dropped a bunch so I'd much rather play in the game that my all-time GR would put me in.

No, it must be February.

Yeah, if we go by all time, I jump up a game or two.

"peer pressure only works...if you have peers" (by the way, you can google that - it's original)

So what is the name for a person who hijacks a thread? Because after the closing bell tomorrow on this thread, I'm going to point out that this has helped me figure out why I like the PPSC variant..... WTA is "win-lose"; PPSC can be "win win" (Or WWLLLLL).
And I got out of Purchasing as a profession because companies always want to squeeeeze their suppliers. So...here, I can occasionally win (17%) and also draw 17 17 and feel good.

So, is the person on top of each GR group responsible for making the game?
