Life In 19x19

Since there's already a majority for the crosscut, why not just play it now?

I'll vote for the crosscut too.


Hmm...do I detect a new strategy? It seems that not committing should be a good tactic. My obvious method of doing this - placement from basketball scores - drew ire, so I stopped. But there may be a more subtle way of not committing: just don't vote. Maybe nobody will notice. Is that what you are doing, Kirby?

I intend to vote against whoever has given the least amount of information; missing votes will weigh heavily on my decision.

Hehe. Sorry about that. I became more interested in my Malkovich games. Magicwand is really fun to play against. I guess I'll vote for F5 while I'm here, but I'm OK to stop playing, too, since I'm having so much fun in the Malkovich scene.

If everyone votes for a move, I can play it straightaway, otherwise I'd like to give a chance for people to change their minds.

For the sake of expediency, I say if a move gets 50%+1 in the nomination phase, you can feel free to cut off voting immediately and just play the move. I don't think people should really change their mind unless we get into a run-off situation where it's necessary.

+1

I'll meet you half-way. Two thirds majority play the move early.

What now?

Next move will be the most voted in two days, or the first to get two thirds majority(More than 66%).

I vote for G5.

G7 - looks like awesomeness to me

Come now, even I know you're supposed to extend from a crosscut. How about F7?

Go team black!

I vote for G7 also, we can grab a corner immediately, and strengthen our weakest stone. We now have the only certainly live group on the board.

Someone's on team white, hehe.

I vote for E4.

Haha, I challenge you to take that board up against me even!

It's far more interesting than it looks - especially if White ataris

Hmmm ... after thinking about it a bit, I really like G7. I would have never thought of it myself.

I vote for G7!
