Chisaiyama

I posted them to the Sumo Talk board for you.

Whom I have to e-mail my daily picks for the following games: Sumo Game ??? Maegashira Game ???? Best Regards, Achiyama Sumo Game is not on the Sumo Games server so you will be able to make your entry as usual. I don't know about Maegashira Game, would like to find out as well.

Day 8: Tochiozan

Day 7: Tochiozan

Like my old coach said keep runnin' that play 'til you get it right! Day 6: Kotoshogiku

Day 5: Kotoshogiku

Day 4: Aran

I used to miss the first two days every basho then the last 3-4 I've been on time but I slipped up this time. Anyway on to my pick for Day 3: Aran

Well, I had that heya in mind but my thought was: Day 14: Yoshikaze Ahem... I know the torikumi gang is downright crazy, but I really doubt they would order to repeat the nakabi matchup Frack! (Applauding...) Well, sometimes you just have to be crazy to play this game. Shame on me and on to: Day 15: Harumafuji

Well, I had that heya in mind but my thought was: Day 14: Yoshikaze

Next in line yes, but in theory, at least, they're are supposed to matching people with like records as well. I mean if you are in the Sanyaku you are supposed to face all the rest of the Sanyaku regardless of their records but when it comes to filling in the remaining slots I have seen them dip quite low. At M4 it's not a dip at all just a skip over the 3s, I say: Day 13: Okinoumi

Day 12: Harumafuji

The "usual" deal is another Ozeki right after the Yok so why not: Day 11: Kotooshu After all 7-1 is a lot closer to 5-4 than 9-0 is!

Day 10: Hakuho

Day 9: Kotooshu

Well most of us agree it's going to be an Ozeki but which one, gee only 3 to choose from: Day 8: Kotooshu

Rolling with the (mini) flow: Day 7: Kotooshu

Is it just my browser or what but when I click the above link it takes me to a blank page instead of the results display.

Though it's been said many times many ways, let me just add mine as well. Many many thanks to Kofuji for his efforts at keeping all us gamers happy even during a trying personal time for him. Your efforts are truly appreciated. Many thanks as well to Jejima, Doitsuyama, Asashosakari, Zentoryu, Kintamayama, Gusoyama and all the other games administrators for giving so much of their personal time throughout the year and years to help make the sport we all love so much just that much more personally enjoyable. Kudos to all of you including those of you whose names I didn't individually mention, simply because I'm not aware of who all the admins are. On a separate note has anyone considered re-activating G.I.S.P.? Could it be automated into the general Sumo Games server framework perhaps?

I'll join with Jejima on this one: Day 6: Aminishiki

As often happens, I'm marching to the beat of a different drummer. I know it's a little early for the Sekis to start fighting each other but there are 3 of them and that should shuffle the mix up a bit from the usual, so: Day 5: Kotoshogiku

I'll get caught up with the wave and go for Day 4: Tochinoshin

So in addition to the not being able to pick these rikishi the real bugaboo appears to be with the results grabbing in the various games. In Bench there are no daily results pages showing up and the results that the D2D Gyojis are posting have to be considered "provisional" since they have no way of knowing what the original lineups looked like before the auto-henka mechanism kicked in. In Roto Sumo even if you didn't choose one of the "ghost" rikishi you won't get credit for any victory over one of them either so the scores are not being compiled coreectly. For instance on Day 1 I should have tallied 108 pts but only got credit for 91 since Okinoumi's victory over Kaisei wasn't picked up and today I lost 22 pts because Oki again faced a ghost rikishi plus I had Sadanoumi as one of my Juryo picks and lost 7 pts on his victory. Juryo Game and Maegashira Game aren't posting any results at all. ISP seems to be functioning normally as apparently is Seki-Toto. I know that the Bench Sumo admins are aware of the problem as obviously is Asashosakari of Toto but has anyone let the admins of the other affected games know of the situation? And is there any other programmer than Kofuji available or allowed access to tha automation to look into it...Doitsuyama or Zenjimoto perhaps?

Having split the first two days, I'm off to a roaring 1-1! I will go with Day 3: Aminishiki
