HOW GAMES WILL WORK:

BlanketThief has offered to run a dedicated server and BrainWrinkle on SA has made us a special edition of the GGS notification system that helps keep track of games. This will allow Direct Connect games, which will feel very natural in a blitz format - but can also be put on hold and resumed as time requires. This server will be up 24/7 and turns can be submitted when time permits.

This will act as an intermediate between PBEM and Blitz, allowing rapid turns while both players are able to play during the same session, while also allowing turns to be submitted "off hours" if one finds time. It should be noted that long term SA Goon games are played using this kind of set up and work quite well. The notification page has been set up and features awesome music:

http://www.brainwrinkle.net/tournament/

Currently there is nothing here, but we'll be setting up all the matches on this, as well as notifying all players. This will show the IP address as well as port for each player.

BlanketThief is the co-admin as well as the impartial arbiter for any and all disputes.

Please begin solidifying your dastardly plots and nefarious schemes. And selecting your nations.

Match writeups would be awesome!

A final entry list will be posted along with all players national picks once round one begins.
