As the current potluck tournament [2008] starts its second and final round,
and nothing else in the way of tournaments [or contests] is going on right
now, it's a good time to ask people about what they want for the next
tournaments. 
I'm not ready to organize GCT#4, but someone else may be. Also I've had
people ask about when the next potluck tournament is, and I've had a
suggestion we could do a 3D potluck. Other messages indicate some interest
in a themed tournament of some sort. I'd be happy to hear some tournament
ideas from members, and a time frame. 
Finally, I'd like to seriously propose a 'speed email tournament
format', with all games starting at the beginning of the tourney, and all
players getting 4 months of reserve time. There would be no way to add time
to your clock; you can only stop its running by making your move, and
letting time pass on your opponents' 4 months of reserve. So, if we
started this tournament March 1, we'd be guaranteed the very longest
games would be over by the end of Halloween, October 31, 8 months later.
