First of all, I can't see what any of you people withdrawing your signups and whatnot would accomplish. By refusing to play and knowing the limited numbers here, you make it impossible for anyone to play. congratulations. And if you should succeed in playing a game without tass, either by having whorli sign up first or by convincing him to drop out (unlikely), then what happens? You prove the point that everyone already knows: that TWG can exist without tass.
If your goal is to somehow force tass to change his behavior, then I wish you the best of luck, because I doubt you'll make much headway, especially feeding his ego by refusing to play just because of him only.
If, however, and I suspect this is what most of you would argue, you merely just don't want to play with someone because you dislike their personality, then there's very little I or anyone can say about it. You have a right not to play. But consider why you're really sitting out.
You don't like the fact that he brags. Does anyone? You don't like the fact that he exploited an unfair hole in the rules. Deal with it. That hole has been patched now. You don't like how he won't even acknowledge that the hole was unfair. So? Let that be his problem.
There's a solution to this problem beyond being a dick and canceling the game for everyone: it's called IGNORE HIM. STOP CARING about the way he plays. Focus on the content of his posts, not his attitude. You don't have to be friends with him to play with him. Treat him like what he is... just another guy on the internet.

I assumed writing this that the reason you're dropping out is because tass signed up... if it's not, then this obviously doesn't apply to you.
@chardish, waiting 24 hours will do nothing to calm down people who aren't really riled up, but smug, content with the knowledge that they're holding the ultimate trump card: their participation. Might as well start the discussion now.
