You know, KJ drinks gasoline so he can sleep. Then he wakes up and stabs a polar bear through the heart.troy100pc said:damn..I have heard lots of good things about KJ...wondering how crazy he really is...but look at the game stats...this is indeed a weird mode...

Decision: The next three sessions, i.e. August 3rd, 10th and 17th are all cancelled, as there are more than two perms that cannot play. Whether we will play on the 24th will be decided when we know more.

I believe this is how it looks right now.
This means we will play the next session on August 24th when labalag and myself must get subs.
John,
I am away on vacation competing in a big bridge tournament. "Unfortunately" it has been a good tournament for me and thus I have not had that much time to visit the forum. That is why you had to wait 2 days for my previous response and now another 3-4 days for this response. This is the first day off I have. We played 10-12 hours a day from Saturday until Thursday and besides that there is a lot of socialising with new and old friends. And I even got time for a little board gaming at some nights - Settlers or Die Siedler von Catan as the award winning game is called.
Te bridge went really well. My team easily qualified from the qualification stage to enter the knockout phase where we won our matches in the round of 32, the round of 16, the quarter final, the semi final (where there were one pair who plays on the Swedish national team in our opponent's line up) and yesterday we won the final! So eternal glory, a nice inscription on the "Chairman's Cup" thingy and some 3000 dollars to the good guys.
Now all that remains for me this season is to win the really big game, the Test of Skill
----------------
REGARDING REHOSTS
As this crew has good connections in general, I do not think we have a single exception to that, there exists no reason not to rehost immediately (see my analysis of this question in earlier posts) and thus this will from now on be the official policy of this game, i.e. we make an immediate rehost when someone crashes.
The chrashed player is recommended to make a quick reboot when he chrashes and I believe it might be good if the host makes that as well. BTW, I always reboot before we start the session, regardless if I am host or not.

And now for all small children who yet have to have some of the mysteries of the world revealed before them, we proudly present tonight's tale:
A TALE OF PEEING
It happenened that the four good friends FAL, John, Absolut and Daniel met together in Daniel's home for a nice evening of board gaming. It was decided that whenever someone had to go and have a pee that player's preferred peeing policy would be used.
First FAL had had too many beers and had to take a pee. The players then played on in normal tempo while FAL peed and when it was FAL's turn to play they simply skipped him as he was not present. When FAL came back he was not that pleased with having lost a few moves. FAL grinded his teeth and waited for revenge.
Then it was John's turn. He had had time to drink even more beers than FAL and was in emergency. He rushed off to the bath room. But now the rest not only kept on playing but as well immediately increased their tempo of playing . So John lost even more moves than did FAL. When John came back he was mad of anger since he had lost so many moves. This he did not like at all.
After some more time had lapsed Daniel, who was not a plebeijan beer drinker like the rest but instead preferred to sip some excellent wine, had had time to fill up his bladder as well and he went off to the bath room. Now the rest of the players did not continue playing, instead they stopped playing as this was Daniel's preferred peeing policy. John went off and made himself a sandwich while Absolut tried to engage in a friendly chat with the 18 years old house maid while FAL, who had had time to consume even more beer (yes, in this tale he appears to be in the same league as Aladar, when it comes to beer drinking ) went outdoor into the garden and took a pee himself since there was plenty of time for this as Daniel was a slow pee'er as old men generally are.
When Daniel then returned the play commenced in a friendly spirit with all knowing that no one suffered anything by being away from the table.
Now finally Absolut had to leave the table. As Absolut is young and inexperienced he has not had time to formulate his own peeing policy and thus had the choice to adopt anyone of the policies of his three friends.
Now my children, what choice do you think that our apprentice GM Absolut make?
Think about that and now we say Good night to all you children and we hope you will sleep well and may you all grow up to be wise and and full of sympathy and understanding for your fellow brethren.

Oops, ok. Well I am kind of happy about this since this means I will be able to play the next session as well.
So this means that

The next session in our game is at August Thursday 31st

This means all freedom fighters have four weeks to take care of their wounds inflicted upon them by none less than the communitie's foremost "grim trigger" himself.
For reference about "grim trigger":

Well perhaps this is a too kind description of our Portugal player, a "ruthless annexer" would perhaps be more appropriate than "grim trigger". But as John is the salt of our game all of us still love him

Congratulation, Daniel
Do you call game between you and John really big ?
Tonio,
There seem to be some misconception here. I am only number three in the current standings (Portugal and Saxony are ahead of me). And Aladar is doing fine and closing the gap. Much can still happen.
Not the least when we implement the new formulas. Are you home now and have time to fix that? It would be swell.

Ah, indeed, changing formula. Would you pay me part of 3000$ to change it properly ?
:rofl: And then your dream will come the truth

Tonio my friend. Feel free to make any good suggestion you want. But most of the suggested changes so far are brilliant!
