Jejima 1,427 Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Hi everyone! It is very nearly the 20th anniversary of Bench Sumo! If you would like to play, you need to do the following.... 1. Register a shikona here <http://members.sumogames.de/CreateUser.aspx > 2. Inform Jakusotsu by replying to this thread that you would like to play, and have done #1 already. 3. Sign up for the Bench Sumo Mailing List by sending an email to benchsumo+subscribe@groups.io4. Read the rules at <http://takanorappa.com/BenchRules/BasicRules.htm> Edited November 5, 2020 by Jejima 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,427 Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Oh, and I nearly forgot.... 5. Enter your squad for the upcoming basho before 2pm (Japan time) on the Friday (earlier deadline than the other sumo games) before the basho starts (i.e. two days before the sumo begins) at <http://benchsumo.sumogames.de/Menu.aspx>.

Jejima 1,427 Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) Bump! Where is the new intake of players? Edited May 6, 2019 by Jejima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tameiki 185 Posted May 8, 2019 Hi, I would like to play Bench Sumo (again). I am already registered on sumogames with a different shikona but I also used to play Bench Sumo in the early 2000s as Tameiki. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is only 29 hours until the entry deadline for this basho - so keep an eye out for when @Jakusotsu adds you to the Bench Sumo database, and then make your entry quickly!

Well, letting us know which shikona you registered at sumogames would be rather helpful, don't you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tameiki 185 Posted May 9, 2019 (edited) Sorry, I rushed my reply when I saw how close the deadline was. The shikona is Kyoju, but I must still be registered in the database and the Yahoo group as Tameiki (although I have lost my password for the game), so I don't know what is the best option from your perspective.

Jakusotsu 6,052 Posted May 9, 2019 I've linked your old Tameiki shikona in Bench with your Kyoju account at sumogames - hope that works out. Please try to enter a team now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tameiki 185 Posted May 9, 2019 Thank you. It's good to be back! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,427 Posted June 25, 2019 It is the unofficial 20th anniversary of Bench Sumo this basho. I'm hoping that some former players may return to the game ready to celebrate. Also, new players are always welcome to join. To see how - read the messages above. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oortael 153 Posted September 3, 2019 @Jejima I already have a sumogames account (same shikona on this forum), as I have played ISP, CG and TTT a few times. Is it what you are asking for ? Thanks for taking some time to help me here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oskanohana 293 Posted September 4, 2019 @Jakusotsu Hi, I'm the rikishi-formerly-known-as Oskanohana. I'd like to play again benchsumo. I've registered as Oskahanada, as I didn't remember my previous password and my old e-mail is kaput. Please inscribe me for this basho. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
