Congratulations, chessandgo, on an amazing undefeated tournament. I know that the focus of the Postal Tournament was supposed to be more on participation and less on determining who the best player is, but it is nevertheless quite clear the you outperformed us all. Well done.
Now only two tournament games remain, including my game against Ron_Weasley for second place.

Tournament games still going on? What slowpokes! These last games are like sitting through a lecture from Professor Binns.

Nice one Jean! We tried as hard as we could to beat you  . I suppose we'll just have to try again as TheMob, and see if we can do it together. I think this justifies your choice as the Mob game opponent.

Indeed, Jean is the right one for the job. As soon as my last Postal Tournament game is over, I may take a bit of a break from Arimaa, so I would have been a poor choice for the One. (I know, I've threatened to take a break several times before, and I've always been too addicted, but this may be the time...)
Chessandgo, I'm pretty sure that the Mob is playing better than any of us would individually. For example, the Mob out-voted me to charge forward with a horse as I never would have done, and it turned out to be a strong move. Even so, our combined efforts might not be enough!
I think we should start a tradition that the winner of the Postal Tournament takes on the world in a postal game. This year we jumped the gun by a few months, but quite possibly the current Mob game will last us until next year's Postal Tournament ends, and we have a new champion (or the same one).

lol arimaa_master 
Thanks a lot, guys, these games were a lot of fun, and many of them could have gone one way or the other.
Let's make a petition against Karl taking a break from arimaa ... if words aren't enough, I propose commando action to sneak posters of arimaa and snapshots from arimaa games everywhere he will go
As for the Mob game, you guys got me in this opening ... and with my own beloved technique gonna be tough ... would you folks accept a draw offer ?

CONGRATS Chessandgo!!! and Welcome to the all-win club.
It's unfortunate we didn't played together but the good thing is, you would have been so lonely in the club then. Now, you got company

I have returned the 2007 postal tournament fees to everyone who did not time-out, resign or forfeit any games. If you do not receive it please let me know. Thanks everyone for playing.
