Big Brother Malkovich registration - sign up here to play

[Splatted]

I'd like to do it. I was holding off volunteering because I've been so rubbish at making regular moves in my 1v1, but recently I've been getting more serious about go again so I think I can handle it.

If you guys want to hold out for someone more reliable that's fair enough though.

There will be 3 ( or 5 ) people to harrass you instead of one. How consistent will you be?

[Splatted]

If you actually do harrass me I doubt there'll be a problem. Any lazyness on my part is a sign that you're being too nice to me.

More seriously though, I went through a phase of feeling like I had to put off making moves in correspondence games until I'd devoted enough time to find the the best move I possibly could, but now I know better and have been making moves more regularly. This combined with my renewed interest in go is enough to make me feel pretty confident I can handle another Malkovich game, but I know my track record isn't good so I completely understand if people would rather hold out for someone else.

Edit: That's starting to sound a little manipulative, so let me put it this way: I promise I'll do better so please let me play.

Sounds like we have a game? What specific rules do you all want to use for interventions?

[Splatted]

I think the BB4 system of 5 consecutive uncorected moves = +1 correction was a good one. Maybe the exact numbers need tweaking though?

[Dragon Pie]

Cool. Which of you will be my little brother?

Do we need higher dan big brothers, too?

If so, maybe we could have a single bigger brother that helps with both sides.

I prefer giving prisoners. As a bigger brother, I must confess that I might tend to ignore the game if I knew that I couldn't play.

Either possible pairing is fine with me.

I'd really like that.

Seems awkward.

That's fine too.

Still no takers?

Need me?

[Splatted]

Yes!

Just one more mid (or high) dan and we're ready to go.

[Magicwand]

count me in...
let me know the rules and players before the start.

[Joaz Banbeck]

...
Need me?

Yes!

[Dragon Pie]

Anyhow, the reason that I mentioned the possibility of a single bigger brother is that I was worried that it would be tricky to find two high dan players who would like to be in the game.

So, I'm thinking that I'd like to start sometime soon. Maybe we could message known high dan players who've been active lately who may not have noticed these posts?

Or maybe we can just get started anyway.

Anyway, I'd even be ok with just the regular bigger brothers until we get a couple of high dan players or even just sharing MW for now.

I'm in no rush, but if you all want to start now, I wouldn't object either.

It is tax time. Please give me a week or so.
