I've generally found when doing that that I get all sorts of weird text glitches. But I can give it a try, and hope for the best.

I don't think you'll be able to get away with much advanced formatting, but then, I don't expect you'll need any advanced formatting.

Now that it looks like we're about ready... I'll put in a request for a slot on either tuesday or thursday (but not wednesday.) Friday is good too.

I'm available for any day but monday or tuesday this week, and then any day but monday after that (if at all possible).

I'll sign up, sounds like just the thing to keep the fantasy juices flowing while I'm GMing a scifi game.

I didn't know we could request the days for the competition...I work full time, and take evening classes all week long. So if it's possible to get a Saturday or Sunday, that would make my life a lot easier.

But who said it's supposed to be easy? I'll happily compete on any day I'm assigned. Bring it.

I'd like to join in!

If there are any slots available, save a spot for me!

Best regards,

Felipe.

There are no schedule guarantees.

I'm taking Rechan's date restriction as: he would like to bow out if his turn would have come up before the 13th, and in that case, someone else will be given his spot.

If we get 16 people, I'm sure the first round will extend past the 13th. If we run go with 8 people, I doubt it will.

If we get two more, you're in. If we don't, you're on the alternate list.

First match tomorrow!
Wulf Ratbane vs. Wicht
Oct. 7, High Noon (Eastern time)

Each match will last for 48 hours, in consideration of our potentially hectic schedules.


We've elected to leave to keep signups open while until the first few matches have been played, so those on the fence have an opportunity to see what all the fuss is about.

I was hoping to get the rust off of my Iron DM skills before facing Wulf.

Ah, well I shall endeavor to give satisfaction.

A quick question for the judge to consider: Are we going to have a wordcount limit? Forty eight hours is a good bit of time to write in and I think it might behoove the judges to set some sort of upper limit.

That's a great idea, and we may want to codify a limit going forward, but I'm not going to hand one down to you guys for this first match. I will remind you that in years past, many entries have been chided for running on too long, and brevity has been a deciding factor.

Cheers, -- N

Three spots for alternates still open.
