Why exactly is there 2 threads on this matter?

What "matter" (subject,topic,etc) do you mean?

I guess what I mean is that we have this thread, and plus the thread entitled "Not a SEIV olymics thread anymore." Are they not both the same game that we are discussing in them? If so why the need for 2 threads?

Ok, I think I understand. The other thread got hijacked by the "SEIV Olympics" crowd for awhile. In reality, Pablo simply wanted another team to play against. I started this thread to recruit a USA team outside of the "noise" the Olympians where generating on the other thread. My goal was to meet Pablo's actual request - a team composed of a players from one other country (USA) to play a team vs. team game against Pablo's team (Lithuanians).

Pablo's thread has now returned to that original intent. Gryphin, Pablo, and I are now using it to set the game up.

After recruiting the required number of USA players, this thread became the USA team's thread for intra-team communications.

So, yes, they (the 2 threads) are the same game at this time, but one is basically the game admin thread (admin + each team's contact person) and this thread is for the USA team.

Personally, the whole process has given me head pains - like herding cats. I hope it is all worth it.

Due to real life issues, Rojero will not be joining us for the Lithuania vs USA Challenge. We can either play with six or try to recruit another USA player. Any thoughts?

Only 6 people in the USA play SEIV? Funny

In Lithuanian team we had to set a limit on 7 as there were more volunteers

I think the problem is that the USA players don't know where Lituania is. You will get more volunteers from USA if you tell them that Lituania is in France.

Only 6 people in the USA play team SEIV. We are very individualistic, you know.

Actually, no one from the USA volunteered. I am blackmailing all of them into playing. Rojero cleverly escaped my influence somehow.

True. One of the few things we will volunteer to do is thump on France.
