[The Panther]

I am just adding up who has shown interest so far.

Definite:
Pickles
Aku
Boron
Agrajag
Panther
Tauren 13
JJ Colorado
alexti
cheezeneninja

Plus:
Cohen - Is out of town until about August 25, which is likely too late for him to join.
Yvelina and Tiudjy - Can't play random races? Don't worry, I have only played 4 races so far on MP and none of these past turn 25. I might get something like Mictlan or Jotunheim and be totally clueless, but so what? It's just for fun anyway. And having partners helping with suggestions would be a great way to learn a new race.

Pickles - You already seem to have enough for a 5 on 5 battle. Tauren 13 and I offer to join your team with Aku and Boron and we could have a team of five dedicated newbies. Tauren and I must be on the same team since he is my teenage son.

You could appoint Agrajag to select the opposing team since he has shown the most interest so far of the various posters on this thread.

I just reread the JJ Colorado post and he says the 25 no turn attack rule was only a sugestion. I apologize for sounding harsh in my reply to that, but I really would not be interested in a no rush rule. I used to join the starcraft no-rush games just to rush like crazy!

So far, I think that everyone is either beginner or low intermediate except maybe for cheeze and cohen. Not sure about JJ's skill level, though.

And I am impressed that people like Zen and Sheap have offered to host/ edit maps/ select races, etc., for us. It shows just how helpful the people on this forum are in general.

Cheers to all.
