I will tentatively express interest, as I, too, am dismayed at the relative lack of history tournaments these days. My actual participation in this, however, is dependent on time. Will, do you have some idea of when you would start this and how long it would run? Also, are you planning for singles o...

Ditto to that, unless a last-minute mirror occurs at the Maryland site of TTIAC, which seems unlikely.

As I discussed with you previously, I am available to help staff this tournament.

Just to be clear, at what time will tomorrow's rounds occur?

I am not entirely sure why I am posting some of my submissions for ACF Fall 2013, as I am unlikely to write any submissions in the foreseeable future, with the exception of, say, a CO History that requires them, and even more unlikely to write submissions for, or play, another ACF Fall. Perhaps it i...

Like many other people, I would like to know when this is being held. Assuming that I am available, though, I am offering myself as a free agent.

I wanted to make a minor comment on Alex Wallace's Nationalist China bonus above. "Nationalist" China usually refers only to the KMT government that was founded in Guangzhou, launched the Northern Expedition, and ruled the ROC from then on. Even Sun Yat-sen is not considered part of this government ...

I will begin attending The George Washington University Law School in a few weeks. I do not plan to play anything, with the possible exception of opens, but I will be happy to staff any tournaments in the Washington, DC area that need the help.

My apologies for the last-minute notice, but I would be happy to volunteer my services as a staffer, if they are desired.

I would like to play.

I realize that I am joining this conversation at a fairly late stage; I have been dashing around China for the past three weeks, and have only sporadically glanced at the forums. However, after reflecting upon my own experiences playing the inaugural version of this tournament, I have now come to th...

Does anyone know if this still exists? I was reading through the transcript of the roundtable discussion on question writing, and thought of this.

Was a final decision actually made regarding eligibility rules for this tournament? My apologies if I missed a clear decision among all the suggestions made earlier. If not, however, I strongly agree with what Stephen has said about why this event should not be treated as a make-up for last year's. ...

I am offering myself as a free agent for this tournament. I know some history, and less mythology and geography, and I will try not to disappoint my teammates.

-I got confused with the pronoun "This period" for "the occupation of East Timor" even if it is probably the most accurate. I'm not sure if "this conflict" would have been better. I was keeping score, not playing, but, for what it's worth, I was listening to this question when Aaron Rosenberg did w...

After discussing this with Marshall, I do think that holding this event sometime in the summer is a good idea.

Didn't Murat Reis also notably sack Ireland and a lot of other Mediterranean islands? Given that, it seems extremely risky to buzz on him getting some slaves somewhere (especially when the guy mentioned wasn't actually him!). Oops. I guess this is what I get for not actually looking at a question w...

So, I wanted to ask about two particular tossups: I was somewhat annoyed by the Malta tossup, on which I buzzed with "Iceland" after hearing the leadin about Barbary corsairs abducting people from this nation as slaves. I was thinking about the Tyrkjaranid, in which Murat Reis enslaved about 400 Ice...
