Invitation to play Bench Sumo

[Jejima]

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.io
4. Read the rules at <http://takanorappa.com/BenchRules/BasicRules.htm>

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>.

Where is the new intake of players?

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.

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?

[Tameiki]

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]

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.

[Tameiki]

Thank you. It's good to be back!

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.

Hello, I'm interested in joining Bench sumo for Aki.
My shikona is the same as my name on this forum.

Sorry to bump this thread up, but wasn't sure if there was a better way.

Have you followed the instructions at the top of this thread?

 

You need to do 

1. Register a shikona here <http://members.sumogames.de/CreateUser.aspx>

before @Jakusotsu can add you to the Bench Sumo database.

[Oortael]

@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.

[Jakusotsu]

@Oortael Should work now. Thanks for joining!

It does. Thank you @Jakusotsu !

Now let's hope I don't fail miserably.

I don't think you have entered a squad for this basho yet. Deadline is quite soon.

[Oskanohana]

@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

Thanks for the headsup. Didn't have time to enter my lineup until now, but I was working on it.

Deadline if Friday right ?

[Jakusotsu]

@Oskanohana You're good to go, and your name will still be Oskanohana in Bench Sumo.

[Rocks]

I'm in!

Glad to see the return of another excellent Sumo gamer. Hope you will start playing the other Games again also.
