I'll play. I'm just worried that January may turn out to be extremely busy for me. Will you be playing?

I've written to llamabeast and I've confirmed that we have every right to play the tournament on his beloved server. I'll update to original post to indicate this.

I've considered playing. If I do, then my number pick will be -100 to ensure I lose all toss-up nations. Its the only to avoid issues with me rolling the random digits.

Assuming PBEM, I'm in. I've only got 3 full MP games and 4-5 subs under my belt, but will give this my best.

What do we do when someone decides to start staling/drops out?

I vote for graphs off. They give too much insight into what an opponent's doing, and we don't have to worry about someone growing out of control against lazy neighbors like we would in a big MP game.

Glad to have you join us Stretch.

The original post already accounts for stales and drop outs. We'll hopefully have a pool of replacement players.

The original post also discusses why its very important for graphs to be on for these games. The decision wasn't arbitrary.

Ahhh, so it is. I got more interested in the selection mechanics and forgot to reread the OP when I was done. Thanks.

Expressing interest with a caveat: I won't play against a water nation.
Also, I fon't get your method of choosing a number between 0 and 99. Unless you consider 0 to be closer to 99 than to 98 (i.e. numbers wrap), then 50 has the highest probability of being closer to any random number, and picking anything but 49 or 50 is a losign strategy.

Please make it 48h for hosting schedule. 24h can be rather stressing. On a small map there's no real MM of any sort but since it's a tournament turns will require extra deliberation
