I may participate but only if I'm in the mob, the gang is dumb.

Do you mean that you don't like the team name, or that you refuse to be lumped in with all the Europeans? I'm hoping the latter, because normally folks don't like to be lumped in with the USA.

Mobsters need enough time to respond to each other, especially in active positions. The coordinator then needs to sense when discussion has finished and begin the vote. There needs to be enough time for mobsters to vote, often a day and a half at least.
I worried a lot in the second game about getting enough discussion and getting a vote done on time. I worried about being a pest. I said to myself that I hoped somebody else would be coordinator next game. If you find you're playing around on the arimaa site every day, you just might be a coordinator.
Given that somebody else coordinates, I would contribute to one of the teams, unevenly perhaps, as long as there are no giant spiders on it. |

I don't mind sharing coordination in a team, but I cannot predict my availability 400 days in advance so there could be some weeks I would not be available at all.
This is why I prefer existence of team account from which the game would be plyed. (Coordinator can change password for his coordination, but is able to publish the password for period of unavailibility to let someone else declare coordinator and continue).
Coordinator has to maintain "game tree" suggested by all (mob/gang)sters and let the (mob/gang)sters vote. I would recomend coordinator to log by his account in role of (mob/gang)ster and with coordinator account in the other role.

If this gets started, I would like to join in. Hopefully I'll have time.
Also Sharp wants to join.  Although bot analysis may be less useful until the board opens up.

It will be very interesting to see whether clojure's analysis tool revolutionizes this aspect of Mob discussion. The tree was very helpful to discussion, but it was a major pain to compile, and reasonably tedious to use as well. If clojure's tool works as well as I hope, then there is no need for the coordinator to maintain the tree; everyone in the Mob will be able to download the tree file, add/edit lines with pointing and clicking, and then post the enhanced tree back to the discussion.

If this turns into USA vs. ROW, it will be fun to have sharp and OpFor on our team, given that marwin and clueless are in ROW.
Actually I'm surprised to see that declared USA interest appears to be running slightly ahead of declared ROW interest. Surrender peacefully, ROW: we have you surrounded!

I'll only be able to contribute significantly during my school breaks (including this summer) but I'm in.

If this ends up being the case, I will volunteer my services as the coordinator of the Mob. I will need a crash course on the other aspects of wizardry from the head wizard at Hogwarts however. Go Mob! Go USA!

I'd be happy to be in (for the Rest of the World, if we choose that format), although I can't guarantee how much input I'll give. I'm weak enough compared to most of the other players that most likely any intelligent thoughts I have about the position will have already been pointed out by others

In team thinking questions "Why do you think that is good" are important, and lowly rated players are in better position to ask so don't hesitate to do so ...

I don't care about the nationality of my teammates, but gang sounds like the spanish word "ganga" which means bargain.
