Yes, the order of suggestions doesn't matter, in the rules.

I know you're not supposed to bump month old topics (although you could argue if this is a bump. This topic is like what, 3rd?), but since last time you ended up only one member short I thought I'd give it a try to start this up again.

I'm willing to participate as a soldier. Any takers?

I can try to be a general (is that the term we're using?) ... but bear in mind I can sometimes play like I'm DDK anyways.

I'm still up for being dictator, but we might want more evenly ranked captains. If so, I'm willing to step aside.

I'm only a few wins away from 2k on KGS, if that makes you feel any better.

Besides, we'll have grunts doing the move choice for us.

If this does go ahead, I'd still like to be a soldier - but if I'm now considered too strong for it, I don't mind stepping aside. (I really don't think that's the case, though - KGS now laughably rates me as an 8k, but that's mainly just natural upward drift due to not having played a rated game there in ages, and the way I've played lately, in games in the January DDK tournament here and also over the board, I don't feel that I can properly call myself an SDK. Certainly, Mnemonic is at least as strong as me and probably stronger, as anyone will see who looks at our games in the tourney last week.)

i'd like to participate.
I'm somewhere between 19-12kyu (KGS 13k, DGS19k), so I'll opt for being one of the soldiers.

If there is still room then I'm in.

So far, we have:

Captains:
Marcus (3k/2k)
Redundant (solid 1k now, right?)

Soldiers:
Mnemonic (10k/11k? You said you were on a roll lately. )
robinz (9k)
lesenv (Let's call it 13/14k)
Sink (12k, right?)

Two more soldiers and we can try this out (if everyone is still interested).

Well, KGS rates me at 10k at the moment, but I beat robinz (an 8k) in an even match, so make up your own mind.

Concerning the matter of other soldiers, I sent out a PM to every ddk I know on L19. If no one answers in the next 3 days or so, maybe we could consider setting the cutoff point at 7k or something so we could get enough players (and then robinz and I wouldn’t feel so bad about being "almost" sdk .

There's no way I'm 8k - it's true that KGS was calling me that at the time we played, but I had only just crept into it, and that was due to pure random drift, as I hadn't been playing on KGS. In fact, since I hit 9k early this year, I've only played 1 rated game against someone of similar strength - which was an even game against a 9k a few days later, which I won, albeit narrowly. At the time this made me feel better about calling myself an SDK, but I've not found time to play much since, and when I have (as in the tourney) I've played in a way more befitting a 12k or something.

Still, I seem to play better the more time I feel I have to think, so I ought to be able to approximate 9k in a forum game

PS: Mnemonic, from what I've seen from playing against you and looking at other games you've posted on the forum, you're at least 10k in strength, probably 9k or perhaps even higher.

Close enough for government work but if complete accuracy is important I am a very low 11k on KGS.

I'd be willing to participate as a soldier as well. I briefly flirted with 8k on KGS but I've since had quite a losing streak and am now 9k going full-speed towards DDK.

Nice! We just need one more.

This seems fun, if there is a possibility that i could join in, i´d like to do it so.

Great, looks like we have enough players.

How about this as proposed Teams:

Black:
threeve (10-9k)
SinK (11k)
lesenv (13k)

White:
robinz (10-9k)
Mnemonic (10k)
Rafa (13k)

That should be pretty balanced. If anybody disagrees with their Team members or Rank please say so.

If no one has any objections to those teams, I'll decide the captain for each by a (fair) coin toss. If it comes up heads, I'll take the team currently marked black (we might want to nigiri for the colors or something). Tails, and I'll take the white one.

Drum roll please ...

It comes up ... fell on the floor.

Trying again ... heads.

So, this means I'm captaining Mnemonic, Rafa and robinz ... you're captaining threeve sink and lesenv.

I'm down with that.

Gonna nigiri, or leave it at black vs white as labeled?

I'm okay with either, but if you want a chance at black, we can nigiri.
