Everyone keeps saying vague things while politely letting the other players decide the rules, so I'm just going to jump the gun and start the game. If any of you want different rules we can change it, but I think it's best just to get started.

I flipped a coin for the teams:

Splatted (5k) + Dragon Pie (1d)

vs

Skydyr (5k) + Joaz Banbeck (1d)

Komi = 6.5
Correction = -3 points

P.s. What do you guys think to the idea of having corrections cost gradually less as the game progresses. (e.g -0.5 every 50 moves) I think we'd all like the big brothers to remain active in the endgame.

A correction of 3 points is fine by me. So, I'm in. ( albeit with minor whiplash :) )

Even.

EDIT: looks like I'm black.

What's the protocol for posting my move for approval?

Author:  emeraldemon [ Sun Apr 21, 2013 12:26 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Big Brother Malkovich #5

In the last one, the younger brother just posted the move as normal, not hidden. If the older brother wants to change it, he does.

No big surprises here. No plan as yet.

:lol:

Well iirc you were the only one that had posted anything even vaguely specific (two or three points per correction), so I thought let's just do that!

Post subject:  Re: Big Brother Malkovich #5

Until pretty far along in the endgame, move values should be at least 3 points anyways, so I am fine with sticking with the 3 point penalty for the whole game.

Post subject:  Re: Big Brother Malkovich #5

But the new move has to be at least 4 points better to justify the change. That means that by the time we get down to playing yose worth a few points there has to be a move worth twice as much as the one we play or we won't get any corrections. I often make costly blunders at every stage of the game, so I'm sure DragonPie won't get bored, but we'll be missing a good opportunity to learn about the endgame.

And if he doesn't, he says "I approve", or something similar. Then the team's move is complete.

So... does your not saying it mean you want to change black's move? :P

I approve.
Younger brother made a pro-quality move.

Also, can younger brothers look at hidden comments of older brothers?

Recently I've been playing almost exclusively star points, so it makes sense to play like them in a game I want to learn from.

Just to be clear, we're still waiting on DragonPie's approval, right?

Yes.

Post subject:  Re: Big Brother Malkovich #5

Oh, sorry. I approve.

And I approve any move in any corner for the next move as well. And, heck, I'll approve anything that my little bro decides to play if it's not in the corner as well. Just don't play at 1-1.

Mukai komoku FTW!

I also thought a bit about P3, but I think I like this better.
