If you'r interested and you have at least 160 total points (the total point I have) and a record clean of resigns, PM please

bump

Did you get my PM?

Here's hoping abgemacht gets in and makes one of these interesting. I just took over the abandoned Italy in 39983

but I need the sitter in both games

Well, if you can't find anyone else, I'm willing to try my best w. the world, but I'm not waking up the middle of the night to enter moves : )

blaaaaaaah, those resigns are NOT my fault ;_;

abgemacht, what time zone are you in? If we can both get his password, I might be able to enter orders at a time when you're asleep, or vice versa.

Offered my services for Germany....

EST

Oh, me too, so that probably won't work.

dude, just friggin draw if you need to go on the one game; why make someone else cover for you

Smile Strat! :)
There's nothing wrong with him asking for a sitter - and if he can find one then surely everyone's happy?

Draw Shmaw... I'm going to win this one for him :)

@figle,

I think he's referring to the fact that he's the only person in one of his games not to vote for a draw.

Well, even so - I don't see what's wrong with asking for a sitter to try and play out his games to the best possible outcome

@Fig - he is having trouble finding a sitter for both games, so if he goes ahead and draws (and if you saw the position due to a recent CD yopu understand why we want the draw) then he'd only have to find someone able to play his world game.

Fair enough.

Draug, I took over his games more than 24 hours ago. It's not a problem.

Frankly, I'm confused by the "someone went CD, so this game should be drawn" crowd.
Some of them are purists - but if we followed their advice, we'd not get to complete 25% of the games. In fact, it would encourage players to stop moving...to get a draw.

And some of them are opportunists - Austria, in this game, proposed the draw, then backed out when the game was going his way (that's how he explained his change of vote), and now is voting for a draw again.

Draugnar, I would venture a guess that you've had the opportunity to take advantage of a CD/NMR situation or two in your day... maybe even in the past few weeks?

:) from Principian's sitter

I don't recall taking advantage of a CD/NMR in a game I was in. I've takne over some CDs to help out lately (and am paying for it dearly in a couple of them), but honestly can't recall a CD/NMR that helped me out in a game anytime recently.

Azogar's Challenge (didn't scan all the games, this was on page 2). Went from 5 to 10 as France when Italy didn't stir for 5 straight moves. I admit, it is hard to know when a player has missed a turn, if they will be back. And I accept, if you say it, that you prefer not to take advantage of it. But I'd hate to have to end every game where a newbie ran. I consider it a variable in a game where everyone should take it into account, just like an alliance change.

Azogar Invitational ended more than 3 months ago. Christ, you call that *recent*?! And it was supposed to be a 4 way draw, but podium went AWOL and I had to consume him to prevent the others from getting the win.
