Great response.

Yeah, do you suppose people maybe feel that the numbers game is more of a level playing field than the letters?

Oh and, er, I'm in.

Nah man, it's clearly because I'm very, very sexy.

We each have our cross to bear.

I knew something would make me join Apterous eventually.

It may be a disaster but I'd like to enter anyway.

Welcome. I'll have to give you a dummy rating of zero at this point, which I suspect may be a bit low.

I'd like to point out that this was the sole reason for me signing up.

Well, presumably a rating of zero does make you a dummy.

I will give it a bash if possible.

I may as well have a crack too.

Euphemism Central, this thread.

I will throw my hat into the ring (or into <generic forum participant>, whichever seems easier).

Over 50 people! Apterous has really grown. Sounds awesome. I'm in (please).

Gregor Morgan · Post by **Gregor Morgan** » Thu Sep 24, 2009 7:01 am

I'm in. Cheers.

Howard Somerset · Post by **Howard Somerset** » Thu Sep 24, 2009 9:56 am

Yes please, Charlie.

But I won't be available to play first round before 2nd October.

Charlie Reams · Post by **Charlie Reams** » Thu Sep 24, 2009 11:34 am

Important notice:

Please check that your name is on the list above if you expect to be playing, and that your rating is (approximately) correct.

No corrections will be accepted after the closing deadline.

A question mark should be put by my name, as my participation may well be dependent on me bypassing the college proxy somehow. Bypassing could be the wrong word, but basically it won't let me get on apterous.

Let me know for definite by the deadline or I'll assume you're not playing. With this many people to organise I can't afford to have people dropping out.

Gavin Chipper · Post by **Gavin Chipper** » Thu Sep 24, 2009 11:18 pm

Although I'm away from Monday to Friday of next week, if my opponent can't do the weekend, I might still be able to find time to get on the internet during the week, so don't count my post as maybe not playing.

Shaun Hegarty · Post by **Shaun Hegarty** » Sat Sep 26, 2009 1:15 pm

I should be able to get playing at weekends, or jump on some rather slow and annoying internet in a worst case scenario.

Charlie Reams · Post by **Charlie Reams** » Sat Sep 26, 2009 8:01 pm

So entry closes at 11pm Sunday, or when we get to 64 entrants.

To confirm, there will be two divisions, based on ratings, and each player will play 5 games. I'll play iff we have an odd number of entrants. Oh and it'll be fun.

Jeffrey Burgin · Post by **Jeffrey Burgin** » Sat Sep 26, 2009 10:30 pm

I will throw my proverbial hat into the ring for this, in an attempt to improve my woefully poor numbers play.

James Robinson · Post by **James Robinson** » Sat Sep 26, 2009 10:31 pm

Excellent the newest member of the Octochamp family throws his hat into the ring.

I hope we're paired together, Jeffrey.

I can fight off Ralph's amorous advances on my own thanks, I don't need James as a bodyguard.

If we haven't yet reached the 64-person limit, I'm in too!

Going by yesterday's duel, mine's going to be a pint of fail.

Yep, he didn't want to use the forum. Not sure why I helped him - he's a fool to himself really, but it seemed a shame to see him panic

Is there any way I can get in contact with him about ourgame other than jus hoping were on apterous at the same time?

Not sure Andrew, I don't know him personally. But I (or Richard Brittain considering his first name) will certainly ask him if I happen to be on the same time as him again.
