I'm thinking that's a pretty good idea at this point actually. With Pike and Freya both wanting to play but not being able to make it I'd rather postpone and have everyone (hopefully play) than have to exclude some people because of scheduling conflicts.

So here's what we can do: we can plan for Brood War to be played on Saturday, March 24th at 6pm EST (a bit earlier just for you Bubba). I'd rather not have a lot of confusion about date this time and trying to nail something down, so if anyone knows it won't work for them now, speak up. But come March I'd like to have it firmly decided if we want to go this route. Those that may need to ask for that day off from work or anything will have ample time to do so. But if anything were to change last minute I wouldn't be moving the date again.

Another option is to set up a small tournament. It'll mean playing more games for some, but I could make up brackets based on who has said they want to play and those that are paired up each round can find a time that works for each. If we go this route, I'd like to give one week for completing each round of the tournament. If the two people who were paired up can't work out a time to play, or one is available and the other isn't then we can either give the person who's most available the following week the by to the following round, or decide it with a coin flip or something. Again, this is a bit more complicated due to playing more games, but it's a lot more flexible in terms of schedule.

I await opinions on that. In the meantime we'll consider Sonic 2 open for business since it won the poll. I'll update the OP later when I'm not at work, but for now, same rules as last month: the person who gets the farthest before seeing the game over screen wins. Ties will be decided by score. Come to think of it, I need to double check whether or not you get to see the level and score on the game over screen.

Also, as a bonus this month, I will give 5 extra points to the first person to become Super Sonic (doesn't have to be during the same play through you submit, if you get him at all take a picture and submit it).

I'll likely push the end of the Sonic 2 competition until sometime in March to give people plenty of time for it, and those who aren't participating in Brood War will have something to do as well.
