I checked the load on the server when there was about 50 people logged into the gameroom and the load was only 0.66. For a long time I used to worry that if the site got such traffic it might crash of get too slow. Especially during WC games, I didn't want games to get messed up due to the server getting overloaded. Now am not so worried. I think we could have 500 simultaneous logins without any problem as long as bots aren't running. So go ahead and blow your horn. Tell the world about the Arimaa world championship. Once a year we have this great event and a lot of effort from many people goes into making it happen. It's a great way to showcase Arimaa to your friends. Don't just come to watch the games alone; bring a friend along. I've updated this page: http://arimaa.com/arimaa/wc/2011/showGames.cgi so that it will show game times in local time even if you are not logged into the gameroom or don't even have an account on the server. So this is a good link to share with others. I the goal of reaching 50 peak listeners during the last games is looking more attainable.

| Yes, and you even did't have to sacrify your "last life" to achieve that . It was very nice show.

| That was reaction to the Fritzlein post mentioning new record what cost him one life. Actually I cannot find the post. Did I made it up?

| You are not hallucinating. I accidentally deleted that post while trying to respond to it, i.e. I clicked "Modify" instead of "Quote".

| Karl "The Cat" Junke. One life left; can he do it? To popularize - and humanize - Arimaa, maybe all of the Top players might get an nickname. (And if they don't like it, all the better! Controversy is interesting...) [Edit]: Maybe even a couple of [appropriate] Arimaa personages under 2000 rating might have a nickname, also. Omar, and that eloquent British sounding chap who lives in the Hagia Sophia, come to mind...

| Yeah, they call you "the elephant of arimaa", people try to give you a "cat" nickname, and you have a rabbit for forum icon? That's two too many animals.
