I call for a game of ghost.  I encourage JT, as reigning champion, to ref
it, but if he doesn't want to, and no one else volunteers, I will.

I call for a game of Acka Role Playing.  I will NOT ref this game.

I call for a game of single-capture go.  I would like to play, but I will
ref this if no one else wants to.

Mediocrity needs 1 more player to make it cheeseworthy, and viruses has the
5 it needs.

I'll play this too, if we can find somebody to ref it.

Forrest continued, "We're headed to the End of the World!"

Cain cut in, "I'm pretty sure I saw a round world when I saw this
place from space."

Forrest said, "We'll have to see what they mean when we get there."

Following the map on the doll's head, they found a conduit vaguely
resembling the one that transported them through the center of the
planet, except this went at an angle and took them only to the
planet's equator instead of to the opposite pole.

When they arrived, they immediately saw why it was the End of the
World.  The arctic and jungle portions of this place covered the
entire surface, except for a narrow boundary zone, small enough to
make it easy to see both other terrains from the middle the zone,
which is exactly where they were now.

Cain was the first to speak after their arrival.  "Well, now I see why
this is the end of the world, but what next?"

"The map doesn't say, but I suspect there's something important here,
perhaps something that will tell why this world is split into two
unnaturally-uniform terrains," Forrest answered.  "Let's look around."

I'm willing to ref it, but would rather play. :)

I think I'll pass on this one, but might be persuaded to play.

I would be interested in playing any of these.

Laa Laa.

I declare the game of crescent under way moribund, so long as no more than
one of the players objects within the next 3 days.

I suppose I might be willing to play Viruses, but if nobody has volunteered
to referee it I could do that instead.  (Although then I'd have to check
and see who has said they were interested...)

I am also interested in the Role-Playing thing, although my lack of large
blocks of free time for the rest of the month or so(taking possession
of our house on the 19th, packing before, moving and unpacking after,
as well as some sort of vacation stuff)would preclude my participation
before then, but if I can enter a bit later on, I might be willing to
consider it.
