I doubt I will be much opposition, but I'd like to play nonetheless.

I'd like to sign up too. Does this mean I get to fight Apsophos first?

It seems like this is the alternate answer to the Megagame. Well, I played all the megagames, so I'll play this one as well.

maybe we should randomize the initial line-up order, so as to prevent meta-strategizing of signing up just after a player one feels confident about beating (not suggesting anything about Apsophos which he [or she] didn't already state of him [or her] self).

If the goal is to determine a winner tournament style, perhaps we should pre-seed based on people's perceptions of other players. This does tend to lead to the perception that you are a good player causing you to last longer (because you experience weaker opposition early on), but it also increases the likelihood of interesting late games (few weak players survive due to match-up luck, strong players are unlikely to meet early), and upsets can be startling and unpredictable.

I'd favor randomly choosing who meets who if one wants to change the proposed meeting order.
I am against putting (perceived) strong players against (percevied) weak players.

He's right. Jarkko should be 26.

I'd like to play. If I've counted right, Swan should be in the previous pairing. Without judging his ability, I don't think I should play another new player in the first round. Later rounds would be unbalanced.

How about all even players play nation x, all odd players play nation y.

Nations x and y could be chosen each round.
Or alternately odd players could chose from x andy and even players could chose map a or b.
