Excellent, welcome!

I've been adding up points based on everyone's rankings to determine which games we will be playing. Before your entry, we had ties in three of seven categories! So thank you for resolving that :) I'm now ready to finalize the game list. New joiners are still welcome, but I'm locking down the game selection. We will be playing the one game from each category that got the most points in the voting, plus the one remaining game with the highest points overall, which was Berolina Chess, so we'll be playing two games from category one.

Here's the final list:

Chess with a small modification: Fischer Random Chess and Berolina Chess

Regional variant: Xiangqi (Chinese Chess)

Capablanca variant: Victorian Chess

Decimal variant: Eurasian Chess

Alternate geometry: Glinski's Hexagonal Chess

Historical game: Courier Chess

Recognized variant grab-bag: Chess w/ Different Armies

We'll get started soon after the server move is complete.
