Move 10 - Page 4

Looks like 10.Rb1 has the majority vote then, I guess.

What happened?

I expect that Bill is a reasonable person and will accept a simple formal apology. As for Raman, I don't care about his tantrums.

I want to hear from both captains.

I didn't manage to get on. What are the official rules on non-captains posting moves? I don't think I have posted all ours so far.

Let's hear from Dubslow by PM.
I am a referee not the executioner.

(A referee, for me, is a facilitator. Or a sensible judge -- who can summon both counsels into his chamber.)

As a non-team-captain I have not been asked my opinion and should perhaps keep quiet, but could [URL="http://www.mersenneforum.org/showpost.php?p=315210&postcount=86"]this posting[/URL] and the fact that no-one objected to it please be taken into account? I had the impression that lack of objection indicated agreement.

Obviously I want captains to speak [I]for[/I] their team (which includes conferring with them). Not that I dismiss the opinions of individual members. It just gets harder to track if everyone is included.

Unfortunately captains are human and get busy at short notice. Should we assign vice/co captains?

I'd like to keep the game going since I find this enjoyable. As David noted, we can cut them some slack in the future. And it wasn't like we were days late....

Batalov · 2012-12-08, 23:23

I am fine with the way it was discussed.
(I've also played in many team tournaments. We had had members whose assignment was to watch the clock and make important actions if the force majeur is evident. E.g. 1 minute is left. Anyone can post the move then.)

henryzz · 2012-12-08, 23:45

Personally I would be fine with any of this team's members posting. I think we can trust them not to be immature and post early(I wouldn't trust Raman). If I were to nominate anyone to post if I can't it would be Brian as he is on often and seems to have a good head on his shoulders(could easily be a team captain in another game).
