Haven't you won enough recently?

Probably, but it always sweetens the deal.

And, frankly, my chances at Genial are very small. I'm not so good at the abstract games.

Not played this one before, is it easy to learn?? I'll have a crack at it anyways

Very easy to learn, but very difficult to win against a good player. An element of luck involved, but more skill than anything. Get some practice games in. It's quite a popular game so there will always be takers. Games only take a few minutes and you will usually end up playing 2 or 3 games against the same player in 30 mins or less i.e. until you've been beaten enough times to completely destroy your confidence!

Good luck.

Count me in Mr. CountZero. "Aparently i'm not the first to say something like that :P"

I have 11 people signed up so far, and could do with a few more. I will leave it open for another week, so any more entries please post here before the 5th October.

Thanks

Snowcrash - Neal Stephenson

I've yet to find a game of this, noone ever joins any I create either :S

Time to kick this tourney off, we have 12 players including a new player, Croppertarty. To get a bit of life into the game and to give players a chance to play more than one game I have split the players up into 4 groups of three. Each player must play the other two players in there group.
Each match will be a best of three games and the winner will score 3 points for a win, 0 for a loss and in the unlikely event of a draw both players will get 1 point. Highest player in each group will go through to the next round.

The groups are as follows

Group A
Count Zero
Jernau25
Johnnyb

Group B
Dobbie
Pikeman
Croppertarty

Group C
IanButty
Harry the Lime
Gwlgardner

Group D
Poozle
Steerpike
Steve Wood

Use IM, or mail to arrange your games and start playing. The quicker the better. If anyone needs any practice rounds then shout, as I can play a few or I am sure others can help.

Thanks
Count Zero

Dobbie/Croppertarty - best way to contact me is through e mail to colin.whittle@three.co.uk . When you get a reply you will also get my mobile number so we could even do this the old fashioned way.... and talk. Promise you won't stalk me if I beat you though?

Poozle / Steve - I'm ready when you are (sorry for the delay I have been travelling with work).

What are the best times for each of you. For me it is generally week day nights (Mon-Thu) from around 9pm onwards although I can arrange to be earlier if necessary.

Cheers S

Steerpike - 9pm onwards is good for me as well, guess we both got kids ;)

Monday 9:30 ok?

Poozle - let me know when you want to play, 9pm onwards any day from next week is good for me.

You can get me on passport at stevenwood.org on email or messenger.

Good luck all!

Steve

Same times are good for me as well, just suggest the best day for you, presuming my net hasn't broken again by then. having REAL problems at the moment.

Steve - sorry I have to work late, this Monday - are you around on Tues ?

Perhaps you can play Poozle on Monday instead ?
