I had in mind to ask you. Also, Robomoo, since everyone says he's very reliable and he has DOS in his library. I am in favor of Robomoo over CTF, even though CTF expressed his interest earlier, because no one has ever played with CTF for any extended length of time, and his playing habits seem sporadic. If there was no other choice I'd say go with him, but given a better choice it is imperative to pick the person who seems most likely to stick with you until the end. You really don't want to embark on 100+ hours of gaming (if we include DOS2, which we should because I don't want to play it with a different team) with someone who might ditch you half-way through, and be forced to start over. So whoever wants to volunteer for the longer games has to first prove himself in the shorter ones, to gain our trust and confidence.
Another thing I want to propose, which is now possible because of the new players (assuming Robomoo agrees to join, of course), is a reshuffling of the teams into an EU and a US one, which should be very beneficial in terms of scheduling, and considering how long these games will take to finish. So I propose the following teams:
EU team
icycalm
Some guy
The Hanged Man
Robomoo
US team
jeffrobot494
recoil
stevenberg
danjiro
P.S. I will be ready to play within a couple of weeks at most, once my laptop arrives from Athens.
