I am extremely busy this month, on top of which I'll be at a wedding on Sunday. So not this week I'm afraid. Hopefully next round.

I'll take Marwin vs. rabbits on Sunday, but I would be grateful to anyone willing to join me.

I think it would be good if someone joins arimaabuff, he is a good commentator but I think he will struggle to keep a continuous commentary for 3 hours.

Wow, thanks everyone. Looks like we will have commentary for all three games.
Yes, it would be good to have co-commentators for all the games, because the games can get long and hard to keep talking alone.
I'll also try to help out the commentators if needed, but don't hesitate to sign up.

I'll try to wake up early on Saturday to co-commentate for the 99of9 game. It's not a guarantee at this point because I'm way behind on sleep after lots of overtime at the office, but there's a good chance I'll be awake by the time the game starts. |

It's looking less and less likely like I'll make it for the start of the game. I'll be at the office really late tonight and might not make it home until midnight. And the 99of9-Marwin game starts tomorrow at 6:30am local time  Ordinarily I might be able to wake up after 6 hours sleep, but after several consecutive nights of poor sleep I'll probably need to catch up a bit on the weekend.

Hey everyone!
I saw that no one had volunteered yet, so I signed myself up to commentate on the rabbits vs Marwin game on Saturday. I have always wanted to try commentating and I hope that it is okay with all you guys. ^^ Patrick has signed up to be the co-commentator, so I won't be speaking alone. I look forward to it!

Great, I'm glad you are giving commentary a try, Nevermind. It's a service to the community, and I think you may find it addictive as well.

I apologize if this has already been answered elsewhere, but is there a way to watch past games along with the audio commentary that was done for them? Many thanks to all who have created this resource.

Actually, you are one of my favorite Arimaa comentators, Arimabuff, because you seem to have a type of laissez-faire, laid-back attitude to commentating. When you take some time off of the mike, I know that you are contemplating the position, as am I, so that when you return, your opinion seems all the more insightful.
Actually, all of the commentary to these Arimaa games is quite impressive. All of the commentators seem to have their strengths. Fritzlein, Chess-n-Go, Adanac have amazing quick vision of the game; MegaJester, Omar are great stewards (keeping the show on track), etc.
If I was to add some advice for Nevermind, I'd say don't be afraid of dead-air. It just means that you are thinking. Also, every once in a while, maybe explain what the Arimaa term that you are using means. Frame, Hostage, Basket, etc, because there might be some new players watching. Plus, certainly the archived games will be viewed by newbies, also.

I second the suggestion to make an occasional comment offering some explanation for us newer players.

I have to take Aamir to school early tomorrow for a field trip. So I will have to leave for about an hour shortly after the start of the game tomorrow. It would be good if there was another commentator to help out Arimaabuff.
