Vaniver requested I create the 48 hour game, and I have done so.
The specs are as follows: Anonymous Players Winner Takes All Classic Map 48 hour phases Full Press 50 point bet (Let me know if this is an issue, and I can lower it. Having played on the site for awhile, I have ~2000 points, and would prefer to play for a higher pot. Besides, if you ever have fewer than 100 points, you're automatically refunded to 100 so you can never run out.)

You can join any time over the next 10 days, and the game will automatically start when 7 players join.
Out of curiosity, roughly how many games played, and what percentage of victory, does a 2000+ rating represent?
Check out this post for background details.
The final list for the 48 hour game is:
Prismattic
ahartell
Kutta
Randaly
GuySrinivasan
prase
RobertLumley
The final list for the 24 hour game is:
folkTheory
printing-spoon
handoflixue
Vaniver
ahartell
shokwave
Randaly
In order to accommodate handoflixue, the short game will not start until Wednesday, September 7th. This has the positive side effects that the long game should have gone through around 2 turns by then, easing the load on people playing in both games. The long game will start as soon as possible.
You can follow the long game here. Various things have derailed the short game; not quite sure what's going to happen there.
