Life In 19x19

I think I would like to try out Topazg's system where there is a quota for certain number of Big Brother moves. I like the current point system too, but I think we should be open to experimentation to find the best method of playing.

So far, Phelan and I look like the small brothers. Joaz and Topazg, can I plug you both in as the middle brothers? Then we'd need to find 2 big brothers.

Sounds ok with me. Mind you, three per team is not needed. Two or more works.

Bleh, I suppose

Seriously, I do enjoy them, and it's nice having a big brother to lean on - count me in then

@Aphelion: what time zone are you in?

I'm Central European Time now, but starting in mid July I will be in EST.

Any big or little brothers interested in a game with Marcus and me?

Since big brothers seem hard to find, I suggest that Phelan and I start our match with only 1 Big Brother a piece. If people don't mind, I'll flip a coin to decide the pairings and we can start the game.

I'd be interested in playing a BBMG I'm around 8k - 9k KGS I think.

Ok by me, except for the coin. I suggest pairing by time zones if we can. With the wrong pairings, the game can be slow. In this particular case, If you are eastern US, and your big brother is 5 hours ahead of you in England, there may be days lost while we wait for Topazg to wake up.

Phelan and Topazg are in the same time zone ( or maybe 1 different ). Here on the west coast, I'm 9-10 hours behind you ( 3 after you move back to the east coast )

I'm on WEST (GMT+1), so I believe it's the same timezone as topazg. I'd be okay with playing it any way it is decided.

Cool! Just waiting for Topazg's agreement now, then we can start the game.

Yeah, sounds good to me, let's go

Sweet! I tossed a coin, and I drew Black. I'll start the thread.

Edit: Actually we should finalize the quota system for Big Brother changes. Topazg, you mentioned you have a good system - I think we could just adopt it. Do you mind posting it?

Since Topazg will be sorting some things out with his family, I'd like to invite some one to take over his role as Big Brother for the game with Phelan, Joaz, and me.

If there's any other big brothers interested in playing, I'd like to play!
