Round 4

Substitute round coming up. Bibbusque is away for a while and BPaulsen can also enjoy a well deserved break. Team for now (and maybe the coming round or two) will be: Opinel - darkiest - tjradd - drinkeh.

The games:
Opinel 1-0 hectorabcd
Pawns 0-1 darkiest (part 1) (part 2)
tjradd 1-0 Nazareno
lingye 1-0 drinkeh

Quite spectacular stuff by you guys, too bad I gave away my position for no reason.

Round 3

Facing monkeyclub this time. As far as I know BPaulsen and darkiest want to play again (the latter perhaps with some more punctuality), and so does Bibbusque (who will skip round 4 though).

Added the games to the Round 2 post as well.

And here's Round 3:
RebelYelll 0-1 Opinel
Bibbusque 1-0 derMandarin
vipiu 0-1 BPaulsen
darkiest 1/2-1/2 Chulito [game decided in favor of darkiest -> 1-0]

Keep in mind ...

10 last minute pointers that'll apply for all coming rounds,

Scheduling:
-Do not directly message your opponent. Instead always post in the game forum, this way captains and directors can follow too.
-Try always to suggest 3 times at which you could play. Also if your opponent's suggestions don't fit you, don't just say it but add some new ones yourself.
-In your suggestions, try to use server time. You can check this by typing the command "date" on fics and there may be a clock in the game forum as well.
-Use the option set time only when you have a mutual agreement.
-Avoid missing the deadlines, checking your messages daily can't hurt too much.

Playing:
-Before you start "set noescape 0", if not so already. In fact if both have it at 1 and the game is lost due to disconnection, BOTH players lose the game (so 0-0 in the stats).
-Before you start "set kibitz 0", if not so already. Observers are often whispering lines, but from time to time someone might accidentally kibitz something you're not supposed to see.
-Do not match your opponent. Instead use "tell teamleague play", this way the bot picks up on it automatically.
-Try to be online at the correct time, ideally a bit earlier. If not keep the delay as low as possible, arrive maximum 30 minutes late.
-Obviously no form of assistance is allowed. TL is in the first place a friendly environment, please try to keep it that way.
