DanQ said no on both a Chess Civgroup, and on a forum or subforum for chess, so what we've got is what we've got.

Didn't hurt to try for the icon. As regards the forum there just isn't enough traffic at the moment.

Anyway, we still get +1 as reward for each turn.
Chess is better TBS, than civ, and he's afraid we'll change the main idea of the site

Sounds good to me. At least we're getting a few more people interested, and if we keep it going, we'll gradually pick up more.

Is there a time limit for the games? Lately I have had less time to be here due to a new job. I would like to play, but I don't want to slow the works to much. Used to play a lot, but has been 10 years or so since I spent any time at it and was average at best.

It's real informal - they're all forum games, so kinda whenever.
Pave - you're welcome any time. muxec was sort of organizing things, but maybe we can get a standard system posted.

Actually, if we get enough action to dominate this forum, we have a better case. More players, lots of games, keep it going for a while, and who knows?

Trajanus, do you want a match? I've been beaten twice now so I'm not posing much of a challenge to some of the experts here.

instead we could all put "part of the 'poly chess club" in our signatures. if we all did this, getting an icon couldn't be too far away.

I've done (am finishing the third) 2 as white and 1 as black, so I'm available for another now.

I went ahead and created a game plan for a tournament between 6 players. That gives 15 games. Since we already started 8 (and finished 6 of them), we're over 50% and I would suggest to stop to take new players for this tournament.
The game plan is:
Round 1: 1-6, 5-2, 3-4
Round 2: 5-1, 4-6, 2-3
Round 3: 1-4, 3-5, 6-2
Round 4: 3-1, 2-4, 5-6
Round 5: 1-2, 6-3, 4-5
Now we have to assign our 6 players (MtG, Harry Seldon, muxec, Jaguar Warrior, zorbop and me) to these numbers. There are 720 possibilities to do this, but we have to honor the games already played and the colors the players had in these games. So there remain only 10 opportunities. I wrote a program to calculate them.
To choose one of them, I need a random number from 1 to 10. Would one of you be so kind to post one?

Ok, that gives:
1 = MichaeltheGreat
2 = Harry Seldon
3 = Sir Ralph
4 = zorbop
5 = muxec
6 = Jaguar Warrior
The rounds and results are:
| Round 1 |
| MichaeltheGreat | Jaguar Warrior | 1-0 |
| muxec | Harry Seldon | |
| Sir Ralph | zorbop | |
| Round 2 |
| muxec | MichaeltheGreat | running |
| zorbop | Jaguar Warrior | |
| Harry Seldon | Sir Ralph | 0-1 |
| Round 3 |
| MichaeltheGreat | zorbop | running |
| Sir Ralph | muxec | 1-0 |
| Jaguar Warrior | Harry Seldon | 1-0 |
| Round 4 |
| Sir Ralph | MichaeltheGreat | 1-0 |
| Harry Seldon | zorbop | |
| muxec | Jaguar Warrior | 0-1 |
| Round 5 |
| MichaeltheGreat | Harry Seldon | running |
| Jaguar Warrior | Sir Ralph | 0-1 |
| zorbop | muxec | running |

All that work, and you're virtually guaranteed to win anyway.
As we have a slow, steady trickle of players, and a huge user base, maybe we can set up some form of poly ladder system or something similar for ongoing games.

A ladder is a good idea, but I haven't any experience with setting one up. Any ideas?
