Hey boys, it looks like we're up against the boys from down under first! Quixiotical sent me a challenge, but then he sent me a message saying he didn't like his description and he wanted me to cancel and then counter challenge.

So here's the thread wherein I want to hear how we're going to crush those Aussies, eh?

Are we all ready? It looks like we might be one of the very first groups to actually do this.

Are you guys psyched? Lemme see your game faces, haha!

Indeed. Do we get an official "cabal" recognition from Erik, instead of "team"?

Edit: We should prorogue the game until we have a higher membership.

I've asked the Kiwi's for a day or two grace period for us boys to get prepped.

Oh, and I think our membership is high enough. We have solid players. So long as most of our 15 men strong plan to be involved with this, i think even low membership can be a strength. What I'm looking for right now is that we build excellent communication between team mates - a good flow and energy. I think if we communicate well and so forth, we'll be an optimal fighting unit.

Do you guys want to see the Canadian Cabal surge to the forefront of fighting groups on group vs group vote chess?

This should be easy, everyone knows that Canadians are just unarmed Americans with healthcare.

I realise you're so terrified of the New Zealand group that you need some time to work up some courage. take all the time you need- we'll wait.

I'm In .. not even the Haka can save em now!!

You havin a laff aint yer! need more than a few days to get ready for us!  

muahahahah.... i am from toronto , what about u guys?

EDit: oops nevermind, its says, so how many ppl in this group?

unarmed americans?... right, because the world fears the "austrailian army"... general dundee with his clan of kangaroo-ridin', bomberang slingin' outlaws are sure to raise a "croiky" from anyone who stands in their path.

i wonder if you'll be that witty when you're getting smear across the board.

go canada!

From Montreal, in Toronto now, who knows where I'll be in a few weeks.

So are we ready to kick this off? I'm going to send a challenge to those guys from that prison island. You can peek into their group, did you know? I think they're doing some trash talking of us too...

I care little for trash talk, but I think the game is going to be fun.

I think he's just teasing the fact that the KIWI's popped in here.

ohhh i see

BOO !!

hope you shits your pant !!! ROFL

Who is next on our list... Portugal?  I guess chess.com needs to add Group Tournaments, or does that already exist?  We could have the World of Chess.com Tourney.
