I’m in in whatever capacity is still available (alternate or whatever else) and would have a RANDOM preference.

Not wishing to add insult to the rightly aggrieved Irish injury, but this would put said countries at a severe disadvantage!

Suggestion: Any country (except Argentina) that plays France may, if they wish, play for Ireland in that round, i.e., draw on Ireland’s catalog. ;)

Cool – I’ll put you in.

By: Garry

I’d like to be an alternative if required.

By: Tom

Tom — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:40:35 +0000

Unfortunately not – two people who volunteered in the previous thread have places reserved (Martin S has already said yes) But! Both previous times we’ve done this there’s been at least one drop-out so I would be surprised if there weren’t a need for alternates. (It’s also possible that some people will quit because they can’t find anything bearable from that country I guess!)

The line-up is:

Players:

Isabel
Rob Hakimian
Kat
Lex
Matt DC
Pete
Job
Marna
CarsmileSteve
Tom (not me)
Ben
Justfanoe
Ruudboy
Chris
Steve Mannion
Iain
Lord Sukrat
ChrisB
Jim D
Birdseed
Chris Ambrose
Dasal Abayaratne
Jonathan Bogart
Alberto
Wichita Lineman
Talia
Weston Debevec
Andrew Hickey
Bec
Xyzzzz
Martin S
Jel (if he wants to)

Alternates:

Tonya
Sarah C.
Greg
Me

If you do want to be listed as an alternate please do still say! I’ll put you in ahead of at least me :)

recounted – tonya is 32nd (uh, someone double check please…)

By: tonya

tonya — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:14:26 +0000

First alternate? I’m a good Googler.

By: Steve Mannion

Steve Mannion — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:01:49 +0000

I think the magic of Twitter could vastly increase audience participation this year.

By: Talia

By: Tom

Wichita Lineman has emailed me to sign up – he wants Denmark, Argentina, NZ or China (good luck with the latter since they’ve not qualified ;))

By: CarsmileSteve

CarsmileSteve — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:52:26 +0000
