[Crosstable says "Group Decided".] The tourney is not held up waiting for irrelevant games to finish.
Could we do the same for Clan Leagues?
Right now, two leagues are held up, waiting for a single, irrelevant game to finish.

Almost 2 years ago I was severly injured while playing sports.
I made a vow to recover and train hard so I could return and dominate.
While training I made some friends on the internet from my trash talking and my "in your face" attitude. This translates into "Internet tough guy"
So tonight was my first competition since my injury 2 years ago, and it w ...[text shortened]... mind is racing with the "coulda, shoulda, woulda's". In hindsight I'm tough
 fear is only a momentarily reaction to the possibility of 'bad stuff happening'. it doesn't reveal anything else but that you understand the consequences of doing something dangerous. if you don't fear a dangerous thing, it only shows you're too stupid to realize the consequences. it doesn't tell anything more about your true self than blinking when someone fakes a punch at your head. it's just a reaction, and it's designed to keep you alive. only idiots ignore fear, and many of them will face a stupid, humiliating and totally pointless death at an early age.
what matters, is what you do next. do you succumb to fear, or do you work through it. give up, or go on. now that tells something about you. - also, there's no such thing as your 'true self'. everything is open to improvement, anytime, anywhere, and it's always only a decision a way.
that said, only an idiot would 'work through' the fear of catching a bullet with his teeth. sometimes the fear is right. quite often in fact. but the trick is to know when the fear is wrong. |

I started something new in my home, and I think its working out really well. My spouse and I each created a special box where we could put notes and trinkets for each other. The things that tell the other person "I'm thinking of you". Over the last few days I put a few things into her box. What would you put into your significant others "Love Box"® my good lady is keen lover of all things pork, so when shes sleeping i like to sneak a sausage into the lovebox. |

I would not want a direct link, but the ability to approve connections after a player submits a request. It is a nice way to get to know a player better after a few games have been played and some trust is established.

No, to be honest, I think there's nothing RHP has to offer except... 1) Wormwood beating Weyerstrass
2) Greenpawn reinventing Chess History
3) SwissGambit brilliantly sliming his way past 1500s
4) Squelchbelch giving us a detailed guide on how to use metal detectors
5) Nowakowski explaining his Chess Improvement Program
6) Fat Lady being obsessed with chessplayers who are stronger than her
7) Orion stalemating a newbie right after reading a stalemate thread
8) Mikelom being forum-banned for two years for saying dirty stuff
9) Ice Cold trying to keep things friendly
10) Heinzkat trolling around and begging for recs

To be considered you will need to have been active on the site for over a year, fairly active in the forums and have no history of making controversial posts.
Yes, I appreciate that rules out most people, but there must be few people who still qualify, right? I would be glad to help the other mods here. |

How can a postaholic like Duecer with an archive of 400 pages just up and leave?
He was practically an RHP institution. He couldn't even give us a tearful farewell message? those who want to leave just go without saying a word - loads of users do this
others who dont want to leave but just want love and attention shout on the forums "I'm leaving" just want attention from other people, and they will not leave |
