Corn and I aborted our connection - the whole thing was laggy at odd moments, and only one connection was suitable for any period of time. We'll try again soon.

I've drawn up a round-robin thingy so that we can start playing. Arek mentioned that he just wanted round-robin, and that system is having quite a bit of success in the Mario Kart tournament that I've decided to also revert back to it for the chess league (although that has more to do with most of the players being totally MIA right now and having a week-long deadline would be unfair for most). We'll figure out the stagger and points rules later, but we'll probably have rules and guidelines sometime today.

Brazil might... To add to Calpis' idea of getting rid of leap year, we could totally do that, and also establish 13 four-week months if we wanted. Of course we'd have to convince about 7 billion people to go along with the idea, but I think we have enough guns and bullets to do that...

Format ideas? The mario kart thing is booming with a full-round robin - we may indeed see my plan from September 2005 come full circle!

It's a vast right wing conspiracy to force consumers to buy more MMORPGs in order to line their wallets with more and more money. They prevent us from having fun, we buy their shit, the vicious cycle continues until we die, they get sued, or Chapter 11.

lawl okay - if you all agree. I've been finding that everything works well if I close firefox and make sure my computer has stopped spinning...I've got a good thing going with TCP/IP client connects too, but I could probably play a couple matches at school where I had no problems whatsoever doing anything.

Deadddddddd

Everyone, it's easiest if you make sure that you post results in this thread. Even when I'm online I'm not always online, and mew isn't the one that updates the results. I beat mike231 in a very very deceiving 3-0 result - I was always down going into lap 5, and most notably on Mario Circuit 1 where I needed a mushroom to make up the difference after the LAST TURN - I stole that race from him any way you look at it, as well as the other two.

Going to the freeform round-robin format.

My sound wasn't (and still isn't) working when I played dPaladin...but the real shit part is that I BOOSTED OFF THE LINE IN EACH RACE AND STILL LOST THEM ALL

fixed. mike231 scares me.

WE bought into the competitions thread idea - why can't the judges too? TO isn't using his title to break the rules, so why do you have to? EDIT: Nuts, I totally agree with what you're saying, I hope you don't think I'm disagreeing - I just thought I said all this already! See above...

I still don't agree that any stickies in GenDisc would be any good. I also don't want THIS KIND OF THREAD either. Competitions would greatly benefit from front-page exposure. How difficult can it be to list the four most recent like we have with announcements? And let's not let this get mired in administration for 18 months like the vB switch.

:'( ...Larry would say it but not mean it...

I'd rather have it the way it is, where all the subforums are at the top, than to remove that and replace it with a sticky. Part of me agrees that the comps forum isn't good for exposure, but ultimately I think that front-page coverage would completely remove that feeling from my mind.

Keegan and I played a game of 'Patzer' chess, which is pretty simple - if you can check, you must. This involved force-captures of a LOT of pieces, and the two pawns that I improved had to be knights. Bare-king vs. King+Knight = draw

Bump! For Great Justice!

Both players should post the results, instead of just one. And post it in the thread, please - I'm the one with access to the standings sheet and can update it if I have results.

Thats f-in right.

Well it's two games/match, so it should be faster anyways. In HS you get one or two games a week, here we do several more than that. I think a lot of people did well with the 10/15 increment, but I'm definitely not adverse to other ideas. The real benefit is that it's less for everyone to have to change before starting the game.
