Point of order: you have determined that no player may make 2 consecutive moves, but have you determined in what order the players will move?

No. The only other constraint is that you can't move more than once per 24 hours.

Ok, just so we're all clear on this: the use of time machines, worm-holes, Lorenz Transformation, etc., to fiddle the 24-hour-move-restriction will be considered ungentlemanly (or dis-lady-like, depending).

Rule 6 states. "If a team has not made a move in a 72 hour period this will be deemed a resignation." In the previous game, there was a unilateral resignation, then a foul was called. Maybe the conditions for resignation should be tightened up a bit. For example, first solicit the consensus of the team, then only the captain may resign?

I see I had the colors of the teams reversed in a prev. message. I got it sorted now.

Just to be clear... you can move at any time for your team.. you do not have to move by order in the list. BUT... you cannot make 2 consecutive moves or more than 1 move in any 24 hour period.

I think it's wrong now. big momma conceded both the pick and white. The Bad Guys are playing white. p diddy played the first move. Agreed only the captain can resign in person.

I have sorted the players by rating:

WHITE, Bad Guys:
1. Luke Myster (2015)
2. Greenpawn (1988)
3. KnightStalker47 (1947)
4. thaughbaer (1918)
5. sim66 (1884)
6. USArmyParatrooper (1621)
7. byedidia (1599)
8. HikaruShindo (1451)


BLACK, Good Guys:
1. Fat Lady (2147)
2. ChessPraxis (1964)
3. SwissGambit (1735)
4. Proper Knob (1719)
5. hedonist (1588)
6. iChess87 (p 1575)
7. MISTER CHESS (1467)
8. lemon lime (p 1550)

Voyeur: SmittyTime (1440)
Ombudsbeing (strictly neutral): moonbus (p 1834)


The stats:
WHITE combined rating: 14,383, av. rating: 1798, median rating: 1881
BLACK combined rating: 13,745, av. rating: 1718, median rating: 1653

The average ratings are not far apart, but the medians are. If the Fat Lady can keep her chicks in line and SG's current is somewhat under-rated, then it looks like a fairly level playing field.
