New Year Tournies!

Okay, I've signed up for all of 'em. I don't even know most of these games, so if you want some easy wins, now's your time! :)

well that means 356 games that start at Jan/1. If you are in the 'Tour de LG' and the 'EinStein Marathons' too, 83 more, together 439.

That is about my record load on games I ever had. Plus you probably have some running already.

Sounds like fun :-D

Might be more, no idea how many will sign up for each.

I've been lowering my count lately. Bring it!

What is the maximal number of players in each group?

If he doesn't know the games he is probably not on the tour.

I am quite sure that in User Tournaments the maximum is 15 players for each group.

Correct, I am not on the tour. I lost my bus ticket.

I registered to all except wyps and hex I think. but not sure.

I'm signed up for all but 19x19 Go (I play enough of that on Dragon Go Server). I'm perfectly sure I've no idea what I'm getting myself in to, and that's precisely why I'm doing it. You only live once (I think?)!

I'm finishing 2010 with 30 games. God knows how many I'll have on January 1st...

I'm scared. Hold me.

I just squeezed it below 100 games running (98 now)... And remember, everybody has fresh vacation in an hour. No timed out games until end of January. Just relax.

So I went ahead and joined 19x19 anyway? Also Black Hole EWN and Chess960.

I'm cringing.

173 new, I believe. Huzzah!

That wasn't so bad! And now I see Richard has a Tori Shogi tournament open? Joining that too~

196 games for me. But I'm not in all of them tourneys .

I'm bored... no more moves to make... :-(

Come on guys, play some moves!

I can't see the Shogi pieces. D:

Oh well. I'm going to try playing blind until Richard fixes it!

285 games here, but I had about 100 already.

Well, I sure am learning how much I suck at every single game other than Go!

...and I wasn't even that hot at Go to begin with. ;)

Ha! As the finished game notifications come in, I realize it would help if I read the rules of some of these.

Apparently we're not the only ones to play some games without reading the rules: I just won my first Tori Shogi game, and I still don't know even pieces names, needless to say its movements (I just click over and see where they can go). Doing the same in LoA...

Yeah, I thought LoA was like Amazon, and I'm not even completely sure how Amazon works. I read 'em all before making the first move, and figure it'll make it easier to understand after playing through a bunch. Don't even ask me about DVONN, I have no idea what's going on there.

Tori Shogi is the worst

@somar96: It could always be worse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taikyoku_shogi

Hoo boy do I really suck at the "connect your pieces" games. This might be why I stink at Go9x9, too... I'm good at connecting in the larger abstract, not actual practical literal application.

Whew, finally caught up in them all again...

I told you, after 30 days, when the sleepers start dropping out as they run out of vacation, the situation relaxes. Half of the games are now already completed, and a portion of the others timed out. Another week or two and you should be back to easy going.

It's easy because I'm losing almost every game. :)

Me too!

now comes the period where we (the people that make their moves) all get a big bonus in our rankings (because all the people that signed up and then don't play lose on time)!

If I'm lucky, I get halfway back to where I started, before all the much better players squashed me in those tourneys.

Hmm, I don't have many of those. I'm at the bottom of most of the tourneys.

But they've been fun! Now I know for certain which games I'll never play again. (I'm looking at you, Shogi!)

Haha, caught up again!

I'm surprised; not only have I only used 4 vacation days so far, my ratings are going back up.

...I should elaborate that my ratings are going back up because I'm paying attention again. The last time I loaded myself down with games I began to rush through making moves and muck them up.
