My glory days of 116 are far behind me. :)

Ladies and gentlemen, my World Cup teammate :)

Looks like bottom 500 in GR starts at 2775, a GR of 100 plus some miscellaneous higher GRs mixed in. There are a few players down there who have completed over 80 or 90 games, so I imagine it would be a complete clusterfuck.

Exactly the sort of situation that can show my awesomeness!

It looks like I've already won.

Wow, if you compare my profile to SD's you will see we've won about the same percentage of games, while SD has drawn far more.

To remain in the bottom 500 GR you'd need to have played many games against others in the bottom 500 and lost. (contrasted with my losing to top notch players :p )

On the other hand, if you exclude anyone who has played less than five games from the Ghist rating list, i'm betting it will be easier to find a bottom 500 of regulars who actually need to sort themselves out (ie sort the middle from the bottom ;)

@SD: I've played 72 games and I'm in the bottom 55(GR). Can I play?

Seriously, I would like to start a game, and anyone who would like to play with me, but emphasis on people who, as orathaic would say, "need(s) to sort themselves out."

But we're not adverse to a ringer or two joining us.

I can't afford to play right now :(

Why the "(?)" in "SpeakerToAliens (?)"?

P.S. I'd prefer anon, WTA, 50 or less buy in.

yeah.. i will have some points issues in getting in the game :P

aw.,.. i wish i was in the bottom 500....

I wasn't sure if you seriously wanted to play or were going with the initial joke. Anyone who wants in is welcome.

What's the setup we're talkin about here?

Full press, probably 48 hour phases.

If you can keep it at 48, I'd be up for it

how many points?

I prefer 50 , but I'd do 5 to make sure everyone can be in.

i just drew a game, so i have 28 now. I would be willing to be a 10 pot

*10 bet

I'm in the bottom 5000, I'll play

@SD: Oh, right. I understand some of your comments now.

Just to be clear - Hell yes I want to play!

My GR is 3221. I really am 54 places above dead last. At least in a game against others down here in the depths of GR hell I might stand a chance.

Wow speaker, i was assuming you were kidding, but then i saw that you wins+draws are 12% of you total games (while my wins alone makeup 13% of my games)

And to preempt those who may think i'm bragging 13 * 7 is only 91 < 100 (and you should have a 1/7 chance of winning each game you play, right? So i'm below average :'( )

I don't know whether I am in last 500 or not..
My rankings are..Please See if I am eligible?

It'll be anonymous, 48 hour phases, and 10 point bet. Just looking for one more.

Could you make the bet 5? I would like i still have enough points to start some a live game >.<. Or else 6 would work

I'm okay with 5, seeing as how we're just going with semi-anon. Sure.

sorry for having to make it lower >.< I got in too many day long phase games, and i really like live better :P

A chance to play with SD and some people I've never played before!? I'm in!

look forward to playing with you all

don' think i have played with any of you BUT Nigeebaby

By the way, where can I view the GR at?

I forget where GR is, lol.

I'm going to make the game and send links in a few.

@butterhead
i game no idea where it is... -_-

i have joined

Links are sent!

Remember, this game is for what Diplomacy is meant to be. Having fun, beating the crap out of whoever draws Italy, and yelling "WATCH OUT FOR THE JUGGERNAUT" as often as possible.

Alright, smearing Italy is optional.

... I myself am more fond of the "EVERYONE ATTACK RUSSIA" staretgy while France and Italy kill each other

what about beating the crap out of Austria?

Beating the crap out of Austria is a more advanced tactic.

The other semi-advanced tactic is to scream "WESTERN TRIPLE" if E, F & G don't immediately attack each other.

but the most advanced is the pacifist game where if somebody moves you support hold in protest

I love the idea of this game, and I wish I could read the press. I've probably played against some of these people. Just love it when you say something like "Looks to me like Italy's going for a Lepanto" and they reply "What's that?"

I mean, we all had to start somewhere, obviously, but it's funniest when they've played like 50 games and are still clueless.

I have a spot which opened up in this game. Anyone is welcome.

Still searching for a replacement.

Bump.

i think i can find someone. Just wait a minute
