I'm... not a 1d, but with the strength differences what they are, does it matter all that much?

I'd be down to play.

I'd be ok with it $_$

honestly I don't think topazg is 1d. Considering several Malkovich games he played (amongst others a win against Magicwand at even) I would say he is at least 2d, rather 3d!

Hmm, if you don't think topazg is 1d, I guess it would be okay. Just am a bit concerned that ~4d + 7k vs 1d + 8k would be a bit of a wash, but who knows, we might cause an upset. I'm fine with that then if topazg is :) . I suppose with the game likely to be lasting around a year our ranks will probably change quite a bit anyway, so...!

Best of luck :) .

I wouldn't worry about it, I'm after interesting Go, and I can achieve that whilst being outplayed anyway, so let's go :)

I am open for recruitment if any extras are needed anywhere... I'm not necessarily looking to start a game, I just want to let you guys know I am available if someone needs and extra somewhere...
I'm thinking...

Sure - go for it. I'd start it but admittedly I've got no experience with this. Might as well let someone who knows what they're doing start it :P .

I'd be interested in joining too if there is room to slot me in somehow.

Hmm... Possibly we could make it a 3 vs 3 then? Me, Aphelion and Topazg as one team, with Jordus, Mnemonic and Violence as the other team? The only issue I can see is that Jordus' and Mnemonic's ranks are a bit close... Well, up to you guys, I don't mind :) .

Sorry but I'm definitely not a 4k! I have occasionally beaten a 6k in even games but anything stronger and my play rapidly deteriorates :(

I really don't mind either way, although I'm sufficiently short on time these days that a BB format is much easier for me than a team discussion format (not knowing precisely what was in mind with 3v3).

Whatever works for everyone else :)

Hmm, I was thinking since Violence is higher, it might cancel out having the lower two players a bit lower. Maybe we should stick to the 2v2 then? If you guys want to do that, feel free to make the thread :) . I'm itching to go :lol: !

So right now we have

Aph, 4k
oso, 9k
Loons, 2kish

So another 8-10 kyu and a pair of dans would be great (in case you're hovering, reading this, thinking "well maybe", I`m directing this at you particularly). Also I'm sure myself or Aph would happily tag out to make a more balanced pair of 'mid' SDKs.

I thought I had volunteered (as had Simba, but he should probably confirm that). Because a format in which a stronger player gets to tell me directly which of my moves are rubbish (OK, more rubbish than the others), but I don't get to find out why, sounds like fun :lol: :scratch:
