Life In 19x19

Looks like we've got a match setup!

We'll be doing a 3-on-3 team match, where players on the same team discuss their move and come to a consensus before playing. The time limit is one week per move. If the team fails to play a move within a week, they lose the game.

This will be a good opportunity for players of similar strength to collaborate and learn from one another.

Let's introduce the teams!

Team Capital
Kirby (KGS 1d)
TegaiS (KGS 1d)
Joaz Banbeck (AGA 1d)

vs

Team Lowercase
emeraldemon (1k)
skydyr (?)
andreyl (KGS 2d)

Without further ado, let's get started. For the purposes of this competition, since we haven't actually started the game, I'll take the liberty of declaring a number of stones for nigiri on behalf of our team, without consulting. Once we actually start on the game, let's decide all moves by first conferring with one another.

Team Lowercase, please select "Odd" or "Even" before looking at the hide tag below. If your guess is correct based on the number indicated in the hide tags, you'll be black. Otherwise, you'll be white.


Have fun everyone!

I'll guess even for our team.

Looks like we're white. AGA rules and standard 7.5 komi okay all around?

Good luck and have fun!

Those rules sound fine to me. Good luck, and have fun!

Open or closed books?

Works for me. Also I don't have a problem with open book, but it's up to the other players.

Let's do closed book, so that decisions are from the team more than from books.

Also, I like the 1 week time limit, but it could take quite awhile if every move takes an entire week.

I wonder if anyone else has any thoughts on that.

Closed books sounds good.
As for time limit,in my opinion a week is too much.
How about four days and 2/3 of the team enough to make the move?(in case the third guy is away for a couple of days)

I agree with this.

Exactly where and how do we collaborate? In the thread in hide tags? Privately by PM?
( FWIW, I prefer the former )

You are on our team, Joaz. Take a look at the hide tags we posted. We are already discussing the first move.

Closed book is fine by me. I'm fine with week-long moves, provided they aren't habitual. Most I expect should take a couple days at most, and we could probably have triggers internal to the team agreed upon as well.
