Sgt Joch Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Originally posted by Kingfish: JC_Hare, The reason you had not been contacted, and your name was not in our database, was because the online sheet finally did go up and everyone was required to signup there (Please note the second paragraph in the quote). Also, please refer to page 5 of this thread, 3 post down (mine), and third paragraph. I see you are now signed up as a reserve. As I have mentioned earlier, the chances of a reserve being called on to play are very good. IIRC, we had the same number of reserves for ROW IV, and ended up going thru all of those and well into a second group before the tourney was completed. One guy even managed to go straight from reserve list into the finals. My apologies if I caused any confusion with my above quote. Apology accepted. I did not realize that to participate in ROW V, I had to read everyone of the 11+ pages of this post. Since I was one of the first players to show interest, I presumed I would be afforded the courtesy of an email. I have no interest in being a reserve player. Good luck on your tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 This must be a sign of a successful tourney, i've already pissed someone off :confused: JC, I ask that you please reconsider, as you have an opportunity to be part of a very challenging and entertaining tournament. Take a moment, think it over. I still have you on the list. Come back on board, no harm, no foul. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfish Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 You see people, diplomacy does work. Maybe that’s what we should do. Scrap the existing scenarios and create all new ones, each based on a challenge that can only be mastered using diplomacy and the offering of an olive branch. No guns, no tanks, just dialogue and debate. Understanding. Compassion. Nah 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No guns, no tanks, just dialogue and debate. Understanding. Compassion. Nah I used to play a board game called Diplomacy which as I recall was mostly about manipulating and betraying your opponents (and former real-life friends), building to a position of overwhelming power where you could miliarily whomp them. Not much compassion there, either.... BTW, JC_Hare, I got into the first tourney off the reserve list and have since played in them all, so the reserve list is not a bad place to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kettler Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Kingfish, A1steaks turns out to have a PC, and another guy (forget name) is more than willing to supply a video card or similar, but is not keen on shipping an entire computer. For the record, I'd be glad to pay the freight charges. How bad could they be? Have had no E-mail and no calls from any other prospective cyber lenders. I continue to hope, but it doesn't look good presently. As for the Cray II, who keeps you supplied with Freon?

yacinator Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 JPS, John Kettler and Renaud didn't respond to my comm check. With the first files going out this weekend should I be worried? I know that you have problems with finding a comp John, but do you think that you will be able to find one by the time ROW 5 starts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McClaire Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Yacinator, I heard from everyone in our section save the (apparently computerless) John Kettler, so they're out all out there. Steve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanonier Reichmann Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Somewhat coincidental but of the 5 opponents in my group, 2 of them being Jeff Wilders & Tabpub were also opponents in the same initial group in the ROW II tournament. It should be good to renew acquaintences again. Regards Jim R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmar Bijlsma Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Sadly a CMBO side to ROW V was not feasible because apparently quite a few don't own CMBO (yeah, weird people) I'm in favour of a Cromwell filled bonus round for those who do posses the trilogy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTN Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 For those of us in the reserve pool do we just sit tight and wait until we are called upon? I'll be waiting for those that crack under the pressure. KTN 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted February 5, 2005 Author Share Posted February 5, 2005 KTN, Yes, but be ready at a moment's notice. You will receive an e-mail from Spanish Bombs, who is in charge of the reserves, when the time comes to step in. Keep in mind that you will be picking up exactly where the previous player let off, so bring your 'A' game with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
