Rec Commons Chess Tournament - Sign-Up

Drogue · February 24, 2004, 10:52

There was some talk in the CyCon Rec Commons about a Chess Tourney. Sound like a good idea? If you want to play, post here. We could expand it to the main forum if you wish, or keep it CyCon only?

Players:

Drogue
Pandemoniak
GeoModder
Ouro_827
Archaic

GeoModder · February 24, 2004, 12:40

/me signs up, as long as it's with a RL chess board (don't have one on the portable)

Ouro_827 · February 24, 2004, 13:47

/me signs up, and doesn't care because he has both kinds... *

Archaic · February 24, 2004, 18:12

Geo: You use your own board. You post moves here.

And

5 people already. I'll aim for 8 to get it started. Should we use the main board and include others, or keep it CyCon only?

GeoModder · February 24, 2004, 18:36

mmm, I'm in favour of keeping it here.
But if you think it will distract other factions members from doing a good turnplay job, by all means

Drogue · February 25, 2004, 10:47

I doubt it will, so let's keep it here. Need 8 people for a tourney though, so start signing up. I'll leave this here for another 24 hours, then we'll start with what he have, and gives random bys if we have less than 8 people.

I guess we either use Yahoo Messenger for the chess board, or else we can just post the moves in the forum and report them on a nice real made chess board

Drogue · February 26, 2004, 08:39

Post moves here. Use own boards. And one player not playing with be GM, just to check all moves are legal, and post board positions if needed. Looks like no-one else is going to enter.

I have thrown all names in a hat, the first 3 drawn were Archaic, myself and Ouro. Therefore Pande will play GeoModder as a prelim, so we get an even number for the knockouts. I can GM Pande and Geo's game, unless either of them objects.

Thread started for Pande vs. Geo here.

This is also spam thread for no purpose, no RP value and just increases Drogues postcount. I want it closed too.

Obstructor: Read my post in the Rec Commons. Games have and can be started in forums, as they have been before. This thread is about fun. It's about having a competition, a game. If you don't get the difference between that and a thread full of pictures of tellytubbies, hitler's and bush's, then I'm sorry for you. If you just want to play a game of "you closed my spam thread so I want to close everything" go ahead.

And what you want closed isn't the issue. You are not a mod. I am the mod, and I am here to make sure we can still play the game. If people complain about this thread, I will move it. If you feel it is wrong to have this here, please PM me with your reasons.

Thread closed. Information on matchups will be posted in the last game thread, currently the Prelims. If you wish to know info, please PM me. This is to cut down on unnecessary threads.

Thank you
