We should do this pretty fast though, because we are fast running out of time... and didn't Boshko say that he would rather be an alternate, or was that someone else?

I'd rather not take on the captaincy, although I'm flattered to be considered, and if Boshko really wants to move up, I'm happy to do it...

I must insist on being Russia, because I want a nation that is on the outside but still has a reasonable route in (with England, that is often not the case).

I am sorry for being so inflexible, but playing England last year taught me something. If this is not compatible with the situation, please make me a backup. God knows I have enough to deal with already

SF: you've only got six people listed for team I.

I'll take England, if no one else will have it. I'm a sucker for London.

Otherwise, I'd like Germany or France. I've never played Italy, Turkey, or France, and it'd be an interesting task.

And if worse comes to worse, I can do Austria. I got 3 builds my first year in Thyferran, altho my neighbors were not as bright...

-I would have done the same in Nihihihi, had IT not suddenly stabbed me They didn't know that they were really falling into my well planned trap... I knew Sahib would be leaving, so I appropriatly planned the death of Austria to coicide with the vacancy in England... (yeah, I wish I was that good Well, I did bring a 7 center England to solo )

reismark: Yes, I know there are only 6 people listed, Meef dropped.

Also, it seems we can cancel the fight to the death between Iain & Boshko. Monk as we all know is a superior player, and certainly worthy of being on Squad I... Iain has graciously agreed to step down.

Okay, prefs so far:
SF: None
LS1: EGF
Berzerker: TFIGREA
RUFFHAUS: ???
Victor G: FEGTIAR
Defiant: G
Monk: A

So RUFFHAUS- do you want to be an Italian or a Russian?

Edit: Thanks, Victor.

Actaully, "Preference: I like Germany, but I feel Meef and Berzerker get priority. Just not Austria, had it last year, did OK until a women took over Russia and I let my guard down. But if need be I can take it again." Defiant did post some prefs.

Right, so now Team II is sorted as well:

Gerwald: No prefs... (Italy?)
Mao:TFEGIRA

RUFFHAUS has said he has no preference. I flipped a pin from the Dutchess County Airport Autumn Warbirds show (October 7yh & 8th, 1995), and it came up Russia, so I will take Russia and RUFFHAUS will take Italy (maybe not a bad idea considering how I did as Italy in Game A).

Anyway, we are now registered! Tell us now if there's anything wrong with ARGHH! UBB won't accept it. Anyway, go to add teams, and hit search, and look for team number 7.

OK, cool, we're #7. A great number!!

I hope we can change our e-mail address on there cuz I'll be changing to my rit email address soon...

Moreover, how should we discuss moves and strategies with our team? Didn't MarkG add a feature to the forums that allow certain threads to be "sticky" and always be on top? Why don't we create a Team I and Team II thread and keep that on the top at all times? We ought to do the same for the ADC rankings, too.

But we can worry about that later.

Also, if we are going to have forum of our own, shouldn't it be like in Sidgames, ie only enterable with password? We might need separate forum for it...

LS1: Good idea with the topped threads in S&D. Unfortunately any opponent who knows where Apolyton is will be able to read all of our thoughts on the game. We'll have to ask MarkG for permitted-access only threads, or else just a permitted-access only forum.

Oh, and by the way: there is a brag board up at WM 2000. DO NOT POST THERE, unless somebody insults Apolyton, in which case you're fully free to defend our honor. But we do not want incidents like last year where some people were going hyping ourselves up before we did anything. We'll get way more respect if we actually win some stuff in the tourney first, then brag in later years once we actually have a rep.

That's correct Snowfire, lets adopt the "Walk softly but carry a big stick" perssona. Let the big stick be the wins or excellent gaming in the tournament.

OK, provisional Apolyton II allocation:

Boshko: Russia
Iain: England
Sahib: Germany
Gerwald: Italy
Mao:Turkey
Stefu: France
Coug: Austria

Coug is the only one yet to submit preferences... so he gets the short straw for the moment. When he does, I think there may be a big scrap to avoid the Big Red Machine. Any queries, first look at the preferences given a few posts back before you complain

Well, with a private forum, we could have a thread for every single game we are playing in. 14, for 2 teams, and then 3 more threads for the team discussions, then 1 general thread. So that's 18 total.

LS1: Ahhhh! You really want to make us go through 18 threads to get updates? A simple post in one of two main threads for the team should be plenty. And in replys, we can reply to 3 different games quickly and relevantly in one thread, instead of having to check 4 differnet threads and post 3 replies.

Anyway, it looks like a private forum is the only option from what MarkG said- is that acceptable?

Ok, ok, Snowie.

Sure, it sounds ok to set up a private forum. No problem with that.

HOWEVER, I feel that perhaps the way to get into the forum - the URL and the password - should be released via e-mail or ICQ.
