You owe me the centers you always imply are right around the corner when I ally with you, but mysterious never appear ;)

There's always a lot of people who want a shot at the crown. I'm one of them.

MM - I don´t think you owe me a game, but I would like to play you again after our last GR game ended in such a strange way.

Im up for another game been to focused on league recently

I'll try to organize all the people I'm obligated to today and see how many wild card spots are open for those of interest. I'll create the games by Thursday or Friday in the hopes people will be able to join over the weekend and we can get started early next week at the latest.

I believe you owe mea game, if you still have room.

Im in for a game. The last time we spoke about setting up a game was when you were having Thanksgiving dinner with your folks last year, so its about time.

I might need one or two more people to join that have a high GR rating (minimum two digit rating, ideally) AND that I have NOT ever played before. I'll open this up for at least 24 hours, so please reply if interested, thanks.

PS - The games are seriously anonymous, by joining you agree to not spend one ounce of energy trying to figure out who anyone is, especially me! ;-) I also agree to not spend one ounce of energy trying to figure out who others are, obviously, I want all play to be based on in game messages/orders. Thanks in advance!

I wish I wasn't at my max load already . . . I fit all your other requirements.

I've filled up the 36 hour phase game, the one I may need help with will have 48 hour phases, so it won't be too intense/demanding, relatively speaking, peterwiggin...

Hmmm, I'm feeling some pressure to tell everyone in the game who's in it, otherwise people would feel I have an advantage... Well, I won't be able to sleep at night if people think I have an advantage, so I'll send a PM to people who's in their game, BUT it is a SERIOUS requirement to not discuss who is who in the game!! :-)

I think that is the ideal way to play, semi-anonymous. Players know who is in the game but not who is who.

Sure some players might figure a few identities out during the course of play, but by the time they do (assuming they are correct) I would think there would far more pertinent in-game considerations than other players identities.

I don't like semi-anonymous, but since I am inviting people, everyone will assume I have an advantage if I don't give out the list, so I suppose my hands are tied...

Of course *they* all know that *you* are in the game. What don't you like about semi-anon? You prefer full anon?

Yep, full anon... though I do want to know the players are high quality and won't unintentionally NMR, or CD, so it gets tricky...

Looking for some new blood, so to speak, don't be shy now!

I'm pretty sure you owe me a game, or at least i am going to say you do. i'll let you keep the points :)

Yes, you are correct akilies, I do owe you... I may have painted myself into a corner here, I wanted at least 3 people I've never played before in each game, which only leaves 3 spots in each game for people I have played before... Let me see what I can work out, I'll keep you posted, but will get you that game in the near future one way or another...

Maybe I'll have to start a third invitational game that includes you and the first five people that post interest AND that I've never played before (regardless of GR)? The list would include this thread, so President Eden would be in if still interested as well as Bob Genghiskhan, etc. We could also make it a low buy-in and 24 hour phases, but I'm open to feedback on the details, so feel free to comment if anyone has a preference.

damn too late it seems i've missed the 36 hour, I don't know that you owe me a game, but i think i recall everyone who survived our last one saying they'd like to play again.
pm'd you

I PM'd you too, orathaic, I'll see what I can come up with.

Dang. The cigar smoker in me wishes I had more points...

Oops, wrong thread.

Okay, nearly everyone that has expressed interest in here has gotten an invite, except for a couple people that are in the same league as others in the open game and I'm trying to get fresh faces for all involved as much as I can (not just for me).

PLEASE POST YOUR INTEREST IF YOU WANT TO PLAY A VERY COMPETITIVE GAME WITH ME AND OTHERS THAT ARE MAINLY TOP 50 GR, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED WITH ME BEFORE, THANK YOU!!!!

If you have been sent an invitation, please join ASAP so I don't give your spot away!! This is your 24 hour notice, tomorrow afternoon I'll start inviting others (so feel free to express interest in a game any time, if you have not gotten an invite). Thanks!

(except for Rait, I know he isn't joining until Sunday or Monday, his spot is safe)
