Unbelievable: finally I found these (new) forum by accident again, while thinking it was down for several days.

You didn't miss much: the new boards have only been up for about a day. Still, a little more information would have been nice.

We'd better have another tournament soon, cause I played pretty poorly in that one and it sure was frustrating! At least I beat eventual bronze medal winner popeye 3-0, though.

Not I! Ducky was the other host, I believe; so not only do we have three new players (Dampus as well) leaping into the top 15, they're taking over the organization and showing us all how it should be done! Good work the newcomers.

Earlier is better for me as well, though I think I could do either time; I should be able to play any time starting at 17 or 17:30 GMT. And I'm sure looking forward to finally playing in a tournament again!

Also popeye, would you mind signing up on (url="http://"http://squibix.net/pop")my pop-pop page(/url) and writing a brief note about the tournament? I'm trying to get it going in real lively fashion, and also (as you can see) to make other people do my work for me.

I'm not sure why I left it off... I was kind of thinking that the points didn't really matter, they're only a way (and imperfect way at that) of coming up with some sort of ranking system. I'll put em back in if people liked seeing how incredibly far ahead SHOES, Hyko and Lumisa really are; and also if anyone has any idea for a better way to quantitize tournament performance, let me know.

And why have you forgotten my AIM and my GMT?: e n o i x and GMT+2

I haven't forgotten them, you have! Or you forgot to put them in, anyways. Go visit the page, sign in, and click on 'edit your profile'. Then you can put in those things, and more information about yourself besides!

Wheee! Voices from the past! I'm one too, I suppose... sorry I haven't been around for the past couple tournaments. But I hope to be back in action soon! I'm also back working on my pop-pop site a little, trying to bring the ranking list back; which I've mostly done. Check out the provisional arrangement (url="http://"http://www.squibix.net/users/pop/players/?who=top")here(/url) and tell me what you think! I hope and expect that the whole site will be finally finished and working entirely as expected in the next couple days.

I may be able to play... but between one hour from now and the 21st I'll be driving across the US from California to Boston. So I might not be up for it.

Whether I play or not, could I beg of Fyrephin, or someone, the favor of posting a notice about the tournament on (url="http://"http://squibix.net/pop")my site(/url)? That would be awsome. I know there's not much life to it lately, cause I've been really busy, but that would be a start.

Just a historical note: I'm typing this lying on my stomach here on the floor, because the computer is the only piece of furniture (such as it is) left in here. Fun fun!

As am I... sadly, I'm now 3000 miles away from my computer that has pop-pop on it. Well, not sadly for most things, since I'm on a wonderful vacation; just sadly for my participation in the tournament.

But since I'm not going to be there... would someone kind, Hyko perhaps, be kind enough to try out the content posting system on my pop-pop site and post the results of the tourney? That would be the best!

Well... sort of new. It looks just like my old one, but it's vastly improved under the hood. And you can make it even better!

In short: I've made all the news posts and player rankings database-driven, so the site can become a little bit more of a community thing, and other people can do some of the work of keeping the news up-to-date. Also, it's always my theory that interactive sites are more popular cause it's more fun changing content than waiting for new to go up.

While everything should work, it's still something of a work-in-progress: if for no other reason than that I need all you pop champs to sign up so your names will be in the database, and I can build some sort of system for automating rankings by tournament reporting. I'm sure I'll think of some other fun things to do too. I'm taking suggestions.

Oh yeah, the link: right now you can find the new version at (url="http://"http://squibix.net/~pop")squibix.net/~pop(/url) (the original is still, for the moment, at (url="http://"http://squibix.net/pop")squibix.net/pop(/url)). At some point it will be at pop.squibix.net, but at present I'm having some trouble with my subdomains. In any case though, a sort of soft launch will be good to give you all a chance to add your names in.

So (url="http://"http://squibix.net/~pop")go do it(/url) already!! And let me know what you think.

Like I said before, I don't think I'll be able to make this tournament. I'll get the next one though!

I vote for Friday the 9th: I don't think I'll be able to play either of the other days.
