new team member
 

Pincerknight has asked to join the game. Would we all be happy to take this player into our team?

Personally I think we would do well with a fourth team member and would be very happy to give pincerknight a chance. But what do you both think?

Another player would help.

Indeed!:tu:

Meanwhile someone who is no longer connected with our voting chess has posted something in the public thread about possible cheating by a newcomer. I'm a bit concerned that pincerknight could find that unfriendly and get discouraged, as I know I would if I'd only just joined mersenneforum.org and then read that.

So... if you have no objection, davar55, maybe we should send a quick invitation to pincerknight welcoming him/her to make it clear that the unfriendly posting is meaningless? Perhaps, WMHalsdorf, you could just send pincerknight the password in a message? Or am I being too hasty?

Let's here what the mod says about having another person joining before sending a password. It would be best to at least send a message to him/her to say that it is not out view of the subject. Is there a way that a a group message (something that has all are name's as sender) can be sent.

I have no problem with a fourth player, except my backseat may get crowded. :smile:

Whatever you both decide.

I don't believe that's technically possible, sadly. (Of course I might be wrong.)
But you could perhaps send a message as team-captain on behalf of all of us, saying that we would all welcome pincerknight into the team.

Any news? Are you handling this, WMH? Let me know if I can help in any way, please.

I'm under the weather at the moment and having a hard time keeping on track of things I have to do.
I don't think the other team would objrct if added another player so feel free to ask if he/she wants to join.
It's taking me several minutes to get this far. for a reply.

I suspected you might be ill. Hope you're feeling better very soon.

I'll message pincerknight on behalf of all three of us.

No reply from pincerknight to my PM so far. Naturally I'll say if I get one.
