Big Brother Malkovich registration - sign up here to play

[Shaddy]

So would that be 3 pts total for a dan correction on top of the middle brother correction, or is it still just 2?

[jts]

I'd like to wait for a 5-7k so that jts can play too.

Thanks, Violence.

[Violence]

3 total, Shaddy.

If we made it 2, there's no penalty for the kyu player to change something if he thinks the dan player will change the move regardless.

[Phelan]

If no one else wants to, I'll join.

[Shaddy]

Right! forgive me, i haven't slept much and my brain isn't working too well today

[Violence]

Whoa. Phelan, you're a ninja. I did not even see you there.

We have our 6, looks like? Anyone wanna start the thread?

What are the teams?

[Marcus]

Set the teams and we'll go.

[Shaddy]

I flipped a coin twice to determine teams: coin said the teams are:

Phelan
Marcus
Violence

jts
dango
Shaddy.

So, shall we dance?

[Violence]

Man, here's where I wanted to use my Layton on a Charizard "Come at me, bro" pic, but alas, I have already used it.

Go ahead and make the thread.

Umm... I'd like to sign up for a big brother malk game, as a little brother. How would that work? Is it ok?

[Loons]

As my 9x9 with redundant nears its poetic conclusion, I'll register interest. Probably as a middle brother.

I make many blunders, but sometimes I can find normal sequences. Finding which moves begin mistakes would be interesting.

[Mnemonic]

If there is a new one starting up I'd like to sign up. I'm currently 7k on KGS which apparently is the accepted range for the little brother and I can probably check the thread at least once a day.

Hopeful that something might work out

[Simba]

Alright , topazg and I would be happy to play a 2v2 game with you, Mnemonic. I'm 8k KGS, so basically your level, and I think topazg is 1d roughly? Not entirely sure! Hopefully someone suitable will volunteer to be your big brother .

[topazg]

...and I think topazg is 1d roughly? Not entirely sure!

Was 2d on KGS last time I had a stable rank, but I suspect that's over rated, and I'm more somewhere between 1 and 2. Frankly, I'm not sure either

Either way, I'm more comfortable calling it 1, and I suspect if I played enough to get a completely stable rank it's the most likely place for it to settle.

PS: Are we doing the "points for edits" or the "edit limits" method - I much prefer the latter, because of the tactical aspects of preserving them for really important moves, but we should be explicit.

[Simba]

I'm happy to do it that way - I have no experience with Malkovich so far so you guys know better than I do! Is it the case that the higher player wants to correct the lower one on almost every move? If so, what would be a good baseline number for the amount of edits allowed in our game? And do we get a new edit every so often?
