Assorted N.P. Team News

[Narz]

I accepted a new team match for <1300's. Only one guy on the other team so don't all join at once.

They canceled this match and issued a new one for one player between 1500-1600.

I've got enough on my plate right now, so I'll refuse this one!

 

[Narz]

I signed us up for something crazy.

Details Here

 

[Narz]

One more team match (vs. a fairly strong team)

Also check this out!

Also, has anyone but LoneWolf been noticing my avatar switching every week or so? You like? What's your favorite?

Original : (plus border, minus animation)

First switch (besides the not so great one with just grass) :

Week two (background from Dragon Warrior) :

Week three (pyramids) :

Week four (Great Wall of China) :

Week five (Rainbow Road, from Super Mario Kart) :

Just changed now to spearman & tank on the moon. :

If anyone else wants to make some (100x100 like CFC av's), feel free. I have a few more in reserve but it'd be fun to keep switching for the whole year.

I didn't notice until a few days ago, since I rarely open our homepage. How many different avatars in total do you have now?

 

[Narz]

Only three more. I had more but some of them didn't come out very well.

 

[DaveShack]

Yes, I saw some of the background changes, and thought week 2 was from South Park.

Since the leader boards are in points the weekend vote chess thing is ok, though some Ozzy Osbourne tunes come to mind when thinking about it.

 

[Narz]

Which tunes?

Anyone else for this match before I lock it? It'd be cool to get two more so everyone on their team could play.

The above match vs. the Supreme Pawns has begun. gg's to all!

Also, our weekend speed vote league game will begin on 4PM GMT on Saturday (more details if you click the link).

4pm GMT should be around midnight in my area. I may or may not be able to go online, since I'm moving out of campus to my uncle's house ( I don't know yet if he has internet connection, he lives alone). Sorry team.

 

[Narz]

Well if you're up early it likely will still be going.

 

[WhiteEagle22]

I'll be working so I'm out too. Not a big loss IMHO.

 

[Narz]

Accepted a new team match, probably won't accept any more for awhile.

 

[Narz]

probably won't accept any more for awhile.

"THE POWER OF CHESS" just sent a challenge, which I declined. We'll challenge them when we're good & ready, I'll alert everyone in advance, we can assemble our most powerful team, all join @ once & have it autostart at 20 players & then pwn! Yes, that will be satisfying.

Now this definitely gets a spot in my planner.

 

[WhiteEagle22]

If I've picked up any ranking by then, it'll have a spot in my planner as well!

 

[Narz]

We need a few more vs. Kairav's Chess Masters if anyone's down.

 

[Flying Pig]

I'm not good enough for that - unless you want me in.

 

[WhiteEagle22]

I've got enough games right now. I may do some Live Chess either tonight or tomorrow, as I don't work until 10 pm MST.
