Yahoo Dip World Tournament

[RUFFHAUS 8]

Yahoo's Dip World is hosting another team Diplomacy tournament starting in February. While prior committments prevent me from playing for Apolyton, I think it would be a good idea for our club to enter a team.

Sounds good to me... do you have a link?

[the_orange1]

I'll be up for that

[RUFFHAUS 8]

I think the first thing to do is to form a team (7 players, perhaps some alternates), select a captain, assign nations, and decide on a GM. The tournament director is Barry Johnson barry.johnson@tsh.com . Send him your team roster, and assignments.

Here is the first team I am proposing:
DEFIANT
CHAZZY
SAHIB
GERWALD
ORANGE1
ORANGE
IAIN

Second team
BERZERKER
SNOWFIRE
EL AWERENCE
VICTOR
STEFU
NOVEMBER ADAM
DU CHATEAU

I did this based on my own personal view on participation and discipline to the game. Please feel free to view your points of view.
I'll Captain the first team if Berzerker doesn't want it and we need a Captain for the second team once we agree to the lineups. We WILL NOT call ourselves teamnames with anything to do with Apolyton cause if two of us make it into the same game the other players will know we are from the same site.

Hmm... looks pretty good, whether everyone has the time to play or not, I don't know... I would've thought SnowFire might be worth a place in the first team perhaps.

I vote for "Banana".

Iain,
The only reason I placed him in the second team, is cause he hasn't been in many games lately, Titans, Apocralypse, this is all up for grabs and changes, nothing is set, it is only a suggestion.

[Dr. Nick]

I'll play happily.

I also agree with "banana"

[orange]

<--- is very interested in playing

[Victor Galis]

I suggest moving Snowfire up to 1st team. I myself will not play. I know I will be gone starting in May, probably late that month. I mean, I suppose I could play, but I don't know.

On one hand I'm trimming dipping comitments, on the other hand, if i go to Europe and it's like last time I will be on the Internet at least 3 times a week, not very long, but I won't do much else than check my email

So, I'm not really sure. If we plan for a potential replacement for me, then I'll play, but if not, there's really just a whole lot of uncertainty as to whether I will be able to play this summer. (Heck, i don't even know where I will end up. There's a small chance I might spend the whole summer in California in front of a computer.)

Your choice really.

[Defiant]

OK Victor I will put you on the second team or backup and Snowfire will take your place if he accepts, thanks for the acknowledgement.

[Gerwald]

I am in.

[Defiant]

Berzerker said he would be interested in a second team only if we have enough players, I traded Chazzy for Berzerker.

[SnowFire]

Honored, but I'll pass again on the Yahoo tourney. Give my spot to someone else.

[the_orange1]

Team Banana looks good to me.
