He's finally roped me in. I've been persuaded
Thanks. Creation of the avatar was part of the bargain we struck! I hope i dont let the side down with an abysmal performance in the tournament!
I think, it's save to say, that this WC will reach for into October, and now I got a confirmation from my sister, who lives in the US, that she will pay me a visit, then. So I will be most of the time, when not working, occupied with her and think, it is better to withdraw from competition before it starts. Very sorry, but I will be back for other tournaments, and I also look very much forward to spend some time with my sister again. Maybe, I will introduce her to Carcassonne as well.

Another 20% will play one more game (5).The last 20% will play 6 or 7 games. I expect the rythm to be quite slow around October: either we wait for the last group stage matches to be completed or you play max 1 match every 1-2 weeks in the knock-out phase until you're eliminated... If you've passed the group stage of course.It's not what I would call the most demanding tournament... It's your call
Good to know. It is my first WC, so I was not familiar with that. Under this circumstances, I think, I can handle it, and will take part. Thanks!
Forgot to mention - monwil and I will be away on vacation from Sep 11 to Sep 23 inclusive. We will be in Cuba for most of that time, and the internet in Cuba is both scarce and expensive from what I hear.If this creates an issue for the competition, we will step aside. We do not wish to hold things up.
Kettlefish? Come on!
