I apoligize for the double posting of the schedule please
make sure you use the schedule posted in PART 5. I had
left Tarquin out of the games and needed to add him.

oversight or is Tarquib showing up late or something.
Anyways, I'll be bringing a chess set
Why does Darian play two games at once? Simple. He wants to guarantee himself
a 50% winning record.
Here's how it goes. Darian plays black in one game and white in the other. He
waits till his white opponent (say, Elwood) makes his first move. Then, he
copies it on his white board. He waits till his black opponent responds (that
would be Zin, in this example) and waits for his responce, and so on.
No matter what happens, Darian gets the same result in both games, just on
opposite sides, either two stalemates or a win plus a loss.
With a 50% record in an odd number of competetors, Darian is assured to be in
the winning side and make it to the next round. That Darian, he can be quite
clever.
Shinarae Lluminus
a 50% winning record.

As usual Shinarae has seen through my eviil plots. HOWEVER!, I request to remain in the game with Zin and be replaced in the other. In the event of my stupidity coming out and playing I would like to have played a Fin. Yes this is self centered and mildly greedy. But then again did you expect anything else?
