Hi all. I'm looking to start another PBEM game with 4–5 players on Normal speed. I'm used to playing on BtS, so we could do this with a points-type pick, which I thought worked well in terms of balance in PBEM 67 and PBEM 70. But I'm quite happy to play with RtR too, if the majority goes that way (i.e. I've a slight preference for BtS, but it's by no means a deal-breaker).
High(ish) skill-cap, high PYFT rate, low (ish?!?!) drama.
Since joining RB, I've played three games and won three games. Technically, I didn't "start" or "win" PBEM67... but someone (not me) edited the PBEMlist to say that I came out on top. So, in the interests of braggadocio, let's call it a win.
The other two (PBEM 66 and 70) weren't really that close.
Three out of three wins makes me the best player on Realmsbeyond. Not to mention the most handsome.
Does anyone want to play?
----
Player 1: DTG (in the red corner)
Player 2: Ruff_Hi + dedlurkers (in the blue corner)
Player 3: mackoti (in the black corner)
Player 4: ??? (green corner?)
Player 5: ??? (pink/yellow/maroon etc. ?)

Here's a trophy that I've awarded myself:
You'll notice that this is an award containing the words "The Best" shooting out amidst fireworks. This is to show the level of my skill, which is both superlative and explosive. The "dreamstime" watermark is not there because I stole the image from Google, but rather, to show that you'd be "dreaming" if you think you can compete on my level.
In the unlikely event that I should lose, I'll pass this one-of-a-kind .jpg on to the winner of this game (should it get going).

Please add me to the list of players. I like to lose ... but only to the best. Team ... not individual for me this time.
Edit: There was a Yahoo BtS league a few years ago ... did I mention that I won that?

I'll throw in a few thoughts for you as a not too committed deadlurker

Great: so we have the self-proclaimed champion (me), Ruff who won a Yahoo BTS duel league (no doubt ages ago) along with REM and maybe some others, and mackoti who has a trophy from the Duel league (but lost to LP in PB4, and probably hasn't improved since). I've added names to the first post.
Anyone else? It would be nice to have 5.

I fully expected this to read ... Ruff who allegedly claims to have won a Yahoo BTS duel league (no doubt ages ago)

Anyone else? Just need one more player to get things going.
I'm not sure if it's my reputation that's keeping people away, or ruff's, or mackoti's.
