Well whatever we do we have to find a format that will allow you to play. While scanning through 310 pages I think I saw your name several times on every page. There can be no dead-thread tournament without you.
What would be cool would be if we could do a swiss-system, so you'd only have to play one person at a time, but nobody would be eliminated. I do ...[text shortened]... it ourselves. Do you think people would play?
If a duel, what time control would you prefer?
I would prefer a 7/n (with n > 6) time control no matter how big the group sizes are, but if it's a duel, 3/n would be acceptable, too.

Nobody gets eliminated. Instead, each round you get paired with a player with a result the same as, or near your own. So with subsequent rounds the unbeaten players fight it out, while the players with few or no points play each other. After a specified number of rounds the player with the most points wins.

I will look into that.
It's pretty much all I remember her saying.
I'm capitalizing the starts of my sentances, though, and I spelt capitalizing with a 'z'.
I went through several pages and didn't find one single "losers". "Shut up" or "STFU" seems to be more nyxie-like. And remember to spell "oppinion" with two p's. You should also flirt with wucky from time to time. But I guess the biggest challenge will be her chess skills. 😉
