Game Set-up and Bad Start Positions

Yes, I prefer a non-member to do it.

I would love to help, but I don't have PtW, and probably won't have it before the start of your game.

If you're interested in a utility that would analyze the starting locations and make sure each was viable, I may be able to help. It wouldn't be too hard to switch a scoring utility I've been working on over to do something of that nature, and I'm sure there are other utility makers out there who could do the same.

A judge would be easier though.

Thanks for the offer Aeson... that scoring utility would indeed be rather artififical, but so would the size-6-within-2-moves rule.

Anyone else knows a possible judge?

Here's a novel Idea.

Give your trird party person the specifics for what you want. THey will create 4 games using the specifics, throwing out the ones that would be too unbalanced. They then post screen shots of all 4 to each of the team threads. The teams rank from what is available, from 1 to 4. THe third party will then, using the ranks, narrow it down to 1 or 2 choises. If 2 choices, he'll repost for a final team ranking and then that will be the final start version.

Just to let you know, I'm not playing PTW until most likely around New Years.
