Ok, well, I'm usually available for games after 930pm my time, which would be 830pm in the US i guess...I'll check back

Enterprise-D:

The tournament is well under way. You can play with us next time, though.

But what if someone goes AWOL again?

**Prince_James** · 11-16-06, 10:33 AM

Hopefully no one will. But if someone does he can substitute likely, yes.

Phonetic, when do you want to play?

Tonight, around 11pm gmt would be good. If that suits you?

If not, tomorrow at some point?

I'm thinking about throwing the game with me and Voodoo just so I can go to the losers bracket and beat Prince James

**~~Tnerb~~** · 11-16-06, 01:07 PM

existabrent goes AWOL. refuses to play a long game. has better things to be doing. there

**~~imaplanck.~~** · 11-16-06, 01:13 PM

Take the win then dude. I only said 30 minutes, It's not that long. I never play chess so 5 minutes is impossible for me.

Cool, either way, I'm now aware of the possibility

hmmm, about 45 minutes for each player? That should make sure that no one takes forever to move, as well as ample time given for a satisfying game.

He set 5 minutes, I asked for 30 and he went and sulked.

5 fucking minutes for a game of chess? jesus christ!

**Absane** · 11-16-06, 01:43 PM

5 minutes is too short.

**Enterprise-D** · 11-16-06, 02:36 PM

Speed chess is fun, but only on a physical board. Online lags don't help

**~~Tnerb~~** · 11-16-06, 03:37 PM

Because we don't have a 5 minute time rule?

**Absane** · 11-16-06, 05:26 PM

Anyone.. Turtle Shell room.. NOW. I have one hour before my battery dies. Name = cvbman2000

**phonetic** · 11-16-06, 05:30 PM

I'll come and watch, like the filthy voyeur I am. I might taunt you as well.

**Prince_James** · 11-16-06, 06:11 PM

Existabrent:

Don't ask to join tournaments you don't intend to finish.

Enterprise D:

If you are up to replace him, be sure to do so soon.

Phonetic:

11pm EST? If so, certainly.
