I signed up for the beta. I play in tournaments, albeit badly.

I am super analytical though, so I am keen to hunt down loopholes.

Is the beta forum open yet? I see it on the list, but it rejects me as a plebe. Wasn't sure if that meant "No Beta For You!" or what.

I don't get a chance to play in many tournaments, since I am usually on the organizing side. I hope our group offered some useful input for FOG-R. Several from Austin are signed up for FOG 2.0. The more we can get in a local area, the better, I think.

Thanks,

Hi,

I think that most of the french 'serious tournament players' have signed up for FOG 2.0 playtests (including Olivier J and Olivier D). ?

Regards
Lionel

I've signed up. I daresay I'm a serious tournament player under any definition except Dave's.

Matt, I think that the earlier evidence in this thread suggests that statistically if you don't meet dave_r's definition you probably are...

So, just to make this absolutely crystal clear - does this mean we are excluding Americans?

;)
This American thumped you in a tournament. So we should exclude you too!

PS I did sign up for the beta

I presume you are referring to the match that ended 6-3 to the Brits?

He said the tournament in which you did finish behind us.

I see you are hoping your time in the witness protection program will erase your Dublin loss to me. Alas I have witnesses.

Sorry ethan, the WHOLE GB team finished behind us in that team event, but that was not my specific case. Where Dave lost but was gentleman enough to buy me a beer afterwards. He lives in shame ever since and tries to make excuses. Wait for it one is coming now...

I think I signed up correctly. Are we still waiting, or have I been excluded for having found Dave to be correct once?

I'm still not sure what a "serious tournament player" is.

Is it someone who's too serious to be playing in tournaments?
Or someone who plays in tournaments that are too serious?

I do not know .

Either it is a player that uses "winning armies" - yes that exist. Or someone as myself who do not care and uses an army for fun ...( Champa/Khmerr with 8 BG of elephants ) and do not always get to the top
