This is gote, I think, but it does have a number of follow-ups that will start to turn the tide in our favor locally if W tenukis to the top... whereas if I play on the top now, W has a lot of good options for making territory here (I'm thinking of it as reverse sente).

The only alternative move I was considering was O17... I think the top right is getting more and more important. If they get the 3-3 invasion, we look pretty overconcentrated. And our follow-up moves are less good.

I hope a fight starts soon, even if it is Violence there. I'm getting antsy.

Bump

[dangomango]

bump again

seems post is dying again...

[jts]

Okay, I think it's time to boot and replace Phelan (assuming the rest of youse is still interested in finishing)

[Shaddy]

I'm willing to go on.

[dangomango]

it's hard to move on without the players

[jts]

Any volunteers to replace phelan?

[Aphelion]

If no one else does it, I will be willing to. I've fallen to 5k on KGS due to massive inactivity. If a 6k comes he should play though. I've also read all the comments in this thread...

[jts]

aphelion is fine with me, welcome aboard (assuming marcus and violence want you, natch)

[Aphelion]

We'll wait to see if everyone is onboard with this. I need some time to think about this next move, it seems quite difficult.

[Violence]

Sounds fine to me.

[Shaddy]

Aph is fine with me.
