@Bad_Dobby_Fischer wins by forfeit.
The main thing to decide color is even color distribution.
Dobby has had 1 white game, 1 black game (even).
ChessPlayerwithskilz has had 2 white games, 1 black game (1 more white than black).
@ChessPlayerwithskilz will play black. @Bad_Dobby_Fischer will play white.
Ok, sounds good. I can mod the game, but not till this Thursday or Friday. I'll send messages to both players to make sure they're ready to play.

games 23 and 26 are ongoing, with me, patzer and Martin waiting. Martin has a long wait.
thegreatauk just won against HolographWars in game 26 (here) due to a 4th time-warning. I hope everything is OK with HolographWars. I'm going to assume so. His profile here says "Coronavirus killed chess. Moved on to Krunker." (Since we're playing on-line, I'm not sure why the coronavirus would kill chess though).

Do you guys need a mod? Game 23 is finished (Bad_Dobby - Condor) so I have time to mod another game now. I'll be happy to do it (and watch) - just let me know.
At post 432 we decided this is the time-limit for a player to show up:
"...14 days. The 14 days starts at the first request on this topic announcing the game can begin. At least on more request to show up, and one direct message must be sent, and these must be sent at least three days prior to the player losing by forfeit."
I sent a request to McGoohan 16 days ago, and his game has also been announced here in several comments. But McGoohan has not replied anywhere, so I think we can say he forfeits, and Bad_Dobby advances.
Since Bad_Dobby advanced by opponent no-show, I think he takes Black in his next game (against ChessPlayerwithskilz). Or was there another rule to decide color?
