Want to play a Malkovich Rengo? Post it here.

you might want to remind us of the rules

Sorry, I don't even know the rules. I think that you have to talk to Daniel the Smith, or Topazg for that.

@ everyone else: I think Xed_over has a good idea. Anyone want to make a thread for rules here? I'll make it a sticky.

Pretty much the same as 1 vs 1, but you take turns with your partners

It doesn't have the complexity of the BB (where stronger brothers can read weaker brother comments, and the prisoners + changes etc..) games

Robert, it's time to register now.

There was a rule about playing out of turn losing x points (I think it was two), but since this is turn-based, I don't think that will happen very often.

Something that wasn't covered in the original rules (if I remember correctly), is resignation. In rengo, you're supposed to ask your partners if you can resign before doing so. In fact, in live rengo, that's usually the only communication allowed between players.

We picked the order of players to be from strongest to weakest, but there was no rule set about that.

Would others be interested in starting another Malkovich rengo?

I would gladly play another rengo game.

I would definitely be interested in one. Hopefully not make too many bone-headed mistakes.

I'll sign up for Rengo too, maybe preferring 2v2. I'd like a team-mate who is much weaker, much stronger or close in level to myself.

Who does that exclude?

I'd play a rengo Malkovich. Can teammates discuss moves? I think that's not usually the case in a rengo game.

I'd play

I think I'm in the much weaker category

No team internal chat I should think, like normal. Otherwise the stronger team-mate`s opinions would be too dominant.

I imagine the next c. 8k can pick either mw42 or myself for their team and start the thread with a hidden nigiri. On the rules front- what rules ? And should the stronger player on each team play first, or second ?

(I dunno if Jordus is still keen, considering he's stepped into redundant & Marcus' teamkovich, and is playing another malkovich besides. If you see him on KGS maybe ask him.)

Hello, i just read trough the finished rengo and i really want to be cursed in front of everybody. Count me in if you need someone. (i'll be able to play once a day i guess)
i am about 7-8k
So shall we go like this:

mw42
perceval

vs
loons
mnemonik

(randomly pick one of the stronger player, but i don't care)
are you still up for that ?
do we try to make a 3v3 ?

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I'd still be in.
Don't know if we want to wait for another pair of people since the probably have to be either in the dan range (not a lot of players there) or in the ddk range (not a lot of consistent players there). I guess it might be possible to add a 5/4k pair, but I don't know how long this game is supposed to last and it might well be that one or both of the 7k will be pushing that level by the end.

Order: I was about to suggest that we just go in alphabetical order until I realized that the 2 stronger player would play with each other

We could use the second character:
percival
Mnemonic
Loons
mw42

Judicata and I would like opponents for a rengo. We're both around 3k (I'm currently 2k on KGS). Is anyone interested?
