Im sorry.

I didnt have time to read the thread that day. I just saw you talking the usual crap about me and responded to that.

Oh time is short these days. Work picked up. Im busy alot. Good news for the economy rebounding I guess. Its difficult for me to get online in the weekends. Besides Im playing CTP hotseat with my girlfriend alot lately (She is getting good)., and Im in knee deep with work on the weekends. Taking craploads of calls on my cell with people looking for answers as to why there Printing plates we sold them arent working. Maybe. I havent been on in 3-4 weeks. But I guess Im in


oh and I got a CD!

Seriosuly, Saddam, it would be cool to see you there (I think so, at least).

[faded glory]

YA i guess. But as I said. I cant gauruntee anything. Blackice's last tourney fell through because of me and nimrod. Niether of us had any time to play..well I didnt anyway. I never saw him.

anyway this weekend i have lots of things to do. I could get on around on Sunday. No saturday, I have to go up to my gf's parents and help her old man put in a new shower. sigh...

And all you idiots play in the Gamesrv. I cant play in there. I cant get in there. I keep telling you boof-heads to go to NL or Craptivision Cali. But nooooo.....its always gamesrv.

Great Faded, glad you are in... (Gavrushka is speaking his usual crap again.... )

I've never played in Gamesrv, always NL for me, or at a push Cali.

Gav,

Fuzzball is one of the great players that's missing in your list! He may be even better than Swissy!

[Gavrushka]

Fuzzball....ah yes I remember him, he was the guy I gave a Civleague account to and decided to have a look at my secure area which gave access to a large budget for credit services from my account.... He doesn't play anymoe thouh does he??

[jpww]

Well, it seems like your secure area wasn't very secure after all !
(I'm tempted to put a *big grin* smilie here, but I'd rather not get out of character)

[Solver]

Gav, a question. Some people understood that you are actually serious about the 500 USD prize - is it true or not?

[Gavrushka]

Solver, I joke about many things, but never money - there is a prize of USD 500 for the winner of this competition, I will send it by Western Union within 24 hours of the Competition being finished. I've also asked one of our more wealthy Apolytoners if they would like to contribute to the prize fund, but all I can say is the MINIMUM winners prize will be USD 500.


Anyway where was I.... A 100 dollar bill walks into a bar and asks for a Beer, the barman says who cent you, the dollar bill replies I dunno but I think I better go change first..

[Solver]

So the prize is serious, thanks, helps a lot. In fact, I must still mention that ppl in Eastern Europe are not that wealthy. 500 USD is a monthly wage for many here, and a pretty good one.

Well Gav, what about asking some more people to contribute? I don't think many would like to, but who knows.

[Gavrushka]

It would be good to see a bigger Prize fund, I've asked one guy that I know has fairly substantive means if he will likewise contribute. If 3 or 4 more people contributed then it would be good to have a list of prizes. I like the idea of a Trophy for the winner too.... After all this is really supposed to attract the very best CTP players, and it would be great to see this run annually.

I like to think that USD 500 would be an incentive for anyone to want to enter, but if someone is prepared to add to this make a first prize of say 1000USD, and if one or two would sponsor prizes for second and third place I think that would attract more people still..

[Solver]

Yeah, that's right, but, of course, winner should get the most - money and, I hope, an Apolyton trophy.

As for running this annually I like the idea very much, but I see it tough due to the time needed to actually complete the games.

Anyway, anyone joining the contest? I see noone yet .

[Gavrushka]

So far it is Faded Glory, Dragon, The Birdman and me! I think that people like Paulno1 will have to enter, they would hate to think that someone other than them was the official world no 1 ... I'll try a few emails...

[Solver]

Emails certainly are in place. I'm still confused about the qualification - in fact, anyone can join, and there's no way I could check if the candidate deserves the get in, for I don't know everyone, so... hey, we could just doom everyone and get a two-player tourney .
