I've got a sinking feeling that the soon-to-be-created recycle bin will be fuller than it ought to. However, the rules are the rules, we need such rules, and ignórantia légis néminem excúsat.

Of course. You're currently exempt from the first milestone due to your high disconnection rate from games (which presumably means you can't finish games). However, the onus is on you to sort something out  |

Yep I will glad to try. Between, it seems that my provider will finished these "upgrade" for the middle of march (as I can read on Newsgroup). If it's not cleaned in 2 weeks, I will change ISP.  |

My disconnection concerned about 90% of my game and someday, I can't reach Wormnet at all...  |

In the rules, I stated that I'd send out reminder-emails 2 days before each milestone. I've decided that 3 full days is better, so my first reminder-email will go out today, giving those who haven't played a full weekend plus monday to do something. Here are the three lists (the wormers in the last one will get the email):
Played (15):
Bytor
Jigsaw
RatoonSoft
cOOL
Saldanha
Khamski
David
Electro
Rafalus
DustedTrooper
HateQuitter
Chicken23
Goku
Leoric
Gelete
Not played yet, but either exempt or known to be planning to play this weekend (9):
Raven (d/c problem)
Crespo (burn out)
Voodoo (change-of-email problem?)
TPenguin/MasterTool/Manolo (weekend games)
Dario/Dan (weekend game)
GeneralHorn (trying to organise)
Not played yet, and not known to be planning anything (16):
Konrad
Wormsik
Fantomas
Franpetas
SirGorash
Nut
XWorm
*Everyone in Group E!*
Philippo
Glady
Johnmir
Aquaworm
I'm disappointed by some of the names on this list, but that's how the cookie crumbles I suppose.
EDITS: XWorm and Voodoo have played, so they're both now in the "played" category, and Konrad is now in the "not played, but planning to" category.
mielu and Javito have played, and NormalPro and Aquaworm have mentioned future games.
Johnmir has explained to me why he hasn't been able to play these last two weeks, and so is exempt from the first milestone.
Glady has been out of the country (Spain) for the last fortnight (I think it was that long), so is also exempt from the first milestone.

It is sad to know that the list of players who haven't managed to play games in time is so big... there are lots of skilled wormers there. However, rules indeed are rules, and a week is plenty to arrange and play a game. So the players can blame only themselves for the penalties.

Today is the last day of the first period. I will now post the latest lists of players who are heading for the recycle bin and players who haven't played yet but who are exempt (I won't bother listing the people who are "in the clear"). Recycle bin possibles:-Fantomas (ch)  -Franpetas -Nut (should he be exempted coz of his email complication?) -Dvorkin (although he's been looking for games on msn recently) -Vodkoff -NormalPro (he's been in contact with Vodkoff) -Philippo -Aquaworm (he told me recently he'd try to arrange something) -GeneralHorn (he's been trying for a while, but without any luck) The exempted ones:-Raven (d/c problem) -SirGorash (couldn't play Crespo or Nut, and Khamski and David were tied-up with their games) -Crespo (PC problems) -Manolo (issue relating to foreign travel*) -Glady (has just returned from abroad) -Johnmir (too busy lately with driving) *To be discussed further with Crespo. I'm hoping and expecting that the first list in this post will be a lot smaller tomorrow morning! If anyone has anything they want to add to this, now's the time. |

More than one wormer has told me that he isn't sure whether the games have to be played before the deadline day, or if the deadline day is the last day in which the games can be played. The answer is the first one: in the morning of each of these days I'll check for any results from the night (or early morning!) before, and then that will be the end of the time period.
If any who misses the milestone plays on the milestone day itself, then I will consider taking them back out of the recycle bin (which they will have been put in automatically).

To everybody (especialy Group A) As I already said, my link will be (?) fixed around the midde of march. So.. I propose you to wait till the end of this month to play our games. If it's not "playable" at end of march, I will give up the tourney to don't disturb it no more....  |

When you find out whether or not you can play, let me know. If yes, I'll give you your new deadlines there and then |

I'll be at my cousin's Pipinasso place today. I may have time to play a game or two if he haven't lost his worms cd. Group C people, stay sharp on Messenger today I may give you a CWT battle! No certainties though...
If this will happen it will happen with no practice what-so-ever!

After all we weren't able to find my cousin's WWP cd and he hasn't got Frontpage installed so no updates for today. |
