I'll be away and thus unable to play for the first week and a bit of August, but otherwise should be able to play reasonably quickly. May I join?

Ok, it has been 5 days since I made the above offer.
I have heard from only one person, and that was only to clarify what I had requested from participants. but he never made clear whether he felt I should take over the TD job
 
yikes.
 
good luck, all

Re: ANNOUNCING THE R.J. FISCHER MEMORIAL CORR. TOURNAMENT
I don't get it, ElRey.
 
I also sent you one during our games to see if you know you from before. maybe there is a problem with Caissa mail or me?? Here, it's been 6 days, two respondents, so far (1 by mail). not a good average!
 
maybe I will send copies out later today.
 
PS: ElRey, Maybe your mailbox is full???

Re: ANNOUNCING THE R.J. FISCHER MEMORIAL CORR. TOURNAMENT
SnoopDog, i checked my mail, and i'm nowhere near full, i'm only at 7% full. i'm regularly on caissa classic too where it shows mail has been received and i never received anything from you. but since only 2 people have responded, i would assume that everyone else agrees by acquiescence. Spock89 has forfeited our game, so i don't think he would have responded to you. so just take it over and don't wait for a general consensus because it may never happen.
