I'm organizing a Gipf competition, turn based, trough the forum of boiteajeux.net.
The deadline for register was the 31st december, but I find this website tomorrow, so if there are some players interested here a delay isn't impossible.

I think that's the biggest Gipf competition, so maybe it's a candidate for IAGO World Tour ?

Each game has its own leaderboard, in addition to overall.

Please feel free to post comments in the comment section below or send me a message here if you need any help.

In regards to a stat to track, we could count up the number of top 10 appearances a player has on each game, and keep a running total and post that on the leaderboard page.

Let me know if this sounds like a good idea we can eventually implement.

We even have a leaderboard at this time. Please sign on the main page, and then feel free to ask about getting your play at different IAGO partner sites be able to be tracked there. The rest of the site has a different user ID and password than this forum.

If you have any suggestions or feedback, please use the new forum category for Rankings and Records to discuss this.

You can also have http://iago-online.com

We are up for input on a preferred URL of the two to promote.

I hope you like it!

Anyhow, just my two cents on this.

The subsystems for login and registration are functional but not yet available. The Records and Ranking Service is also under construction. We'll be migrating to the new site sometime next week. There shouldn't be more than 1 hour max downtime.

We warmly welcome any and all feedback and suggestions. If you have any thoughts or suggestions about the new website, please post here.

Cheers!

The look is similar, and in all other aspects it functions at least as well as the previous design. This template is completely CSS-based, uses no javascript, and is templated to separate as much as possible the content from the structure. I warmly welcome any and all suggestions. The site is under version control (Subversion) and once everything is migrated and working, I can begin providing access to designers and admins to the code itself.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that everybody loves seeing penguins sliding around on the ice. And soccer is the world's game, right? So take some cute families of penguins, give them an icy soccer field and a ball, and watch the slippery goodness that ensues . . .

I designed Penguin Soccer back in 2007, using the Icehouse Gaming System, and it has enjoyed some popularity at the website Super Duper Games. This exposure allowed it to come to the attention of Nestor Romeral Andres and his independent board game publishing company.

Penguin Soccer is a perfect information, abstract strategy board game for 2 players, ages 8 and up, and each game takes about 20 minutes.

I hope you will give the game a try, and if you enjoy it, spread the word. Penguin Soccer can be purchased from www.nestorgames.com and costs 19 Euros. Shipping is 5 Euros, regardless of how many games you order (or where you live), so get together with your friends to buy multiple copies and split the shipping costs!

As some of you know, I'm part of the Society for Creative Anachronism, the medieval recreation society. This Saturday, the Barony of Roaring Wastes will be holding a celebration of Twelfth Night. I'll be doing a gaming tournament of medieval abstract strategy games. The games include:

Alquerque
Checkers
Jungle
Hneftafl
Nine Men's Morris
Twelve Men's Morris
Ming Mang
Chess
Byzantine Chess
Shogi
Xiangqi
Tamerlane's Chess

Players will play up to six of these games. Complete rules are here:

All these games date back to the middle ages. It will be interesting to see how things work out for a game tournament at an event that is not exclusively dedicated to games. I'll let you know afterwards. If nothing else, for all we know this may be the first tournament of Tamerlane's Chess to be held in the last 600 years.

For those interested I following the action the games In-Progress include the flag “4th Annual Cannon Tournament”.

One change was to merge game reviews with advocacy (for games and also for different concepts). Game Announcements are also under Game Designer Corner.

Also, if you like or have issues with the new subscribing feature, where you get notices in your personal email, please post comments on that also.

The wiki has also been updated to allow for registered users to discuss specific wiki pages. The wiki and forum accounts are different (for now) so you will need to create a separate account. It also supports OpenID authentication.

Best,
Aaron
