I don't think I can, you already have 12 people.

That's a minimum. There is no maximum. I could have worded that better in the first post.

I think 12 was meant to be the maximum.... 3 days or until 12 names have been input, which means you can start playing after team leaders have picked their teams.

1. Everyone interested in playing puts their name down in the thread. The thread will remain in this state for 3 days or until 12 names have been input whichever comes later. Late entry will not be allowed as it could unbalance the teams.

Edit: Oh, you wrote the rules! So I have to assume you know what the rules are. lol Okay, I'm in.

Okay I'm in too

When are teams picked?

I'm in.

7th Dec. Either Swiss Gunboat or myself will PM the 2 captains and they can then pick teams by PMing back and forth. Then we will announce the teams in the thread and battle will commence.

GP ousted as captain by an Aussie. If it stays that way someone's going to have to set fire to some chess pieces as a prize.

Given that the previous game ended with a disputed call, you might want to consider engaging an 'umpire'. I nominate myself.

Please submit your resume to this thread. Any experience of bondage would be a plus.

I have a wife and 2 children. Does that count as bondage?

My qualifications are as follows: I have refused, on grounds of conscience, to pay income tax for the last 50 years.

Any team player who attempts to bribe or otherwise improperly influence the umpire will be advised immediately of my numbered Swiss bank account.

Your qualifications to be rules-enforcer is your ability to shirk the rules? 😕

My qualification is complete neutrality, beholden to no one. I have no authority to enforce anything. I merely propose to offer all parties a way out which saves face, in case of a dispute.
