I noticed that you and I have signed up together for a 3x3 as well as me having just signed up for your posting of 1x1's. Assuming that Iceman follows the same path of 1->1, 2->2, 3->3; then if we wanted to participate in both, we still would be able to, and it would be possible to merely send $6M and then we would be participating in both! I'm sure since I'm the new one, that this thought will have already crossed your mind by the time you get this post, rendering my thoughts moot, but I just figured I'd get it out there anyway!
As per your request (and I pm'd you in the game too) I've attacked Taz land... He's plenty strong, I don't expect to do much to him except to nuke him everyday. I don't IRC but I do check here often - feel free to PM me here or post to my wall.
