Call time on them.

Godwynn has said he will be slow in playing. I don't know that I should be claiming.

 

[IglooDame]

Sounds like a plan. I'm just surprised that I won any games at all.

 

[nc-1701]

Ok, great I gotta beat Igloodude in a play-off then...

 

[Narz]

Godwynn has said he will be slow in playing. I don't know that I should be claiming.

PM him then?

 

[Tomoyo]

@Truronian/Arachnaphobia: You guys can set up a time that works for both of you and meet on Yahoo! chess. You guys can decide on the timing rules and match structure yourself, I guess. Something around 10 minutes/15 seconds, three game match sounds right.

@Igloodude/nc-1701: Technically, you guys can't play until punkbass finishes his game against Godwynn (since if he lost, he would be involved in this whole thing), so you guys will have to wait... otherwise, same as above.

 

[punkbass2000]

OK, Godwynn has resigned.

 

[Tomoyo]

PMs sent to everyone who's in the next round except myself and Bluemofia (because I didn't want to send an extra PM because of the five recipients thing, and he made eleven, and I figured he knew anyway).

@kryszcztov: If you see this before 8:00PM Eastern US Time (3:00PM GMT?), we can do our coin flip by having you predict the NCAA Bowl Division Championship game tonight between Ohio State and Florida. Since you're French, I'd expect you to know next to nothing about it (or even what sport it is), so it should be a 50-50 chance. (EDIT: Actually, the wording came out a little 'racist', except that you'd probably take it as a compliment )

You are not the only one....

I have received it and hereby report ready for the mission.

I guess I'm reporting to the thread, or something.

 

[Taliesin]

I feel pretty thick for having thrown away two wins and a dominant position. I guess the moral is I need to work on finishing. Or possibly pay better attention.

Good luck to all the quarterfinalists! I'll be watching some of the games.

 

[Arachnaphobia]

Truronian says he'll be away until saturday, so we'll get our playoff thing done then or after if thats ok?

 

[Tomoyo]

That's okay, Monday midnight GMT sounds like a good deadline? (Fail the deadline and I'll flip a coin )

 

[kryszcztov]

I'm back. Please tell me what I have to do.

 

[Tomoyo]

You have to to predict the result of the New England vs. San Diego American football game on Sunday. Get it right and you win the group, get it wrong and I win the group. Should be about a 50-50 chance for you.

 

[kryszcztov]

OK, my bet is on New England. 1-0.

 

[shortguy]

For what its worth, that score is not possible in American football.

(Though New England was a good choice IMO)

 

[kryszcztov]

When will they get our jokes ?
