I'm sorry for implicating you Eltripas, but the best way to distract the opponent from what should be the obvious goal is to start conspiracy theories. I'm surprised that a 'Conspiracy Theories' page hasn't yet been made at Arimaagang Pbwiki.

To update TheMob's list - we have added novacat and swynndla to the team. 722caasi never did sign up at PBwiki.
And just today, we have a brand new member - FyzixST. That brings us to 14 with 1 bot. |

Seems there is too close connection between novacat and The_Jeh in the mobster's team  .

Suddenly it all becomes clear: there was a 5-5 tie in voting on the Mob's setup. Those two supposedly "hadn't voted" and broke the tie in a mysterious manner. There is more to this than meets the eye.
I notice that novacat The_Jeh is an anagram from Jean hatch vote. I consider this conclusive evidence that chessandgo has infiltrated the Mob. We'll know for sure next time there is a tie and suddenly new members Jove and He_can_tath show up to swing the result. (tath = pile on the manure. truly.)

This looks fun; I've signed up as gangster 
Although I'm actually a double agent reporting to Silver's A7 rabbit, so hush!

And chessandgo is an anagram for "Changed SoS." What does that say about past championships?
I wasn't a strong advocate of rewarding tardy voters with the honor of breaking a tie, and I won't be next time. Rather, choose randomly between them. But mistre's decision is reasonable and well-intentioned, and no harm no foul. I suspect you're being tongue-in-cheek, but it's a valid point you raise anyway.
Both my time for and skills in Arimaa decrease daily, so you may not see much of me. But I'll still drop by when I can.

Yes, I was just being silly; mistre is doing a great job coordinating.
Furthermore, in hindsight I think the setup we voted for is actually stronger than the setup that topped my ballot. Our mind-ninja move paralyzed The Gang's decision-making to such an extent that their elephant didn't even feel safe coming onto our half of the board, unlike in the large majority of openings for Gold. First move advantage, anyone?

Yes we are thinking hard about not entering your half of the board for the rest of the game. Except may be ... with a rabbit?

That's fine you don't enter our half of the board except with rabbits and we won't enter your half. I am sure the elimination rule doesn't apply to this game.

Yes, we're planning to move in 25 days only. Pay no attention to the game until about a month from now.

My point was that you'd only think of a move once you've lost on time.

Does anyone know the Arimaa name for this member?

Using the player search, I couldn't find any plausibly matching usernames or real names containing "ksel" or "elke". Did you e-mail kselker directly asking him to introduce himself here in the forum?
