2016 Clan race is interesting.

That is correct !!
I have stated his very position long ago when the accusations were aimed at our clan.

But when 2 or more clan leaders huddle together to manufacture multiple clan challenges designed to bring down
another clan and make a mockery of a feature the site owners were kind
enough to provide their paying subscribers,
that is unethical !!

And that is called collusion !

I expect you will cry to high heaven NO PROOF !!

But when one of the clans you have been cozy with is named Anti-Metallica, the optics are not in your favor.

And when your actions bring about a rule change, site administration have obviously seen enough !!!

Listen to you cackle. Just say it for what it is. You conspired with others to get free points
from lopsided challenges, and you have done it on multiple occasions.

This means you are a cheater....plain and simple.

Dude I issue and receive challenges, I evaluate them according to their parameters, if i find that they give us a sporting chance i accept them, if not I amend them and send them back sometimes with an explanation. I don't always get it right but that's because I am human and prone to aberration. I have not cheated, my players have not cheated, we just want to play chess. Please don't offer any advice on the ethics of lopsided challenges you have been engaging in them for years, well dude, now your time is up and we are the Chess Kings of the Internet. I told you I was coming to get you and take your citadel apart piece by piece, you did not believe me and now must suffer for your lack of faith.

Your post is entirely accurate !!
The problem is there is something missing from the front end.
Goes something like this .......quote ...

"Clan leaders from clans Easy Riders, Anti-Metallica and Breaking Bad meet in advance in fall of 2015 to discuss going after Metallica.
They then set up a bunch of challenges where about half Easy Riders' clan members have a 400-600 point rating advantage over their opponents from the opposing clans.
This is easy to do because:
- Anti-Metallica does not have a player rated over 1200
- Breaking Bad has 1 player rated at 1301. Everyone else is rated below that.
- Easy Riders has 11 players rated over 1400.
Then they decide to get the challenges set. Doesn't matter which clan issues the challenges to get them underway."

....un-quote

From here, Carrobie's response above flows naturally and appears to be quite truthful.

Glad I could help. Have a nice day !! 😀😀😀😀

and you forgot to add that players that were in Strategic Ultimatium and University of Chess Fun are in these clans, same people all over again, just different clan name

Then why did you collude with the Anti Metallica clan to get cheap points? Just perhaps this was the brainchild of the Anti Metallica clan to take down Metallica, but don't you see you are part and parcel to this scheme and should have rejected their challenges based upon principle. By the way, either Wycombe or my clan or perhaps both will kick your clan's ass before 2016 is over. Count on it.

Thanks for that !!
I didn't even notice. I just see the ratings in the challenges.

For some clans, this isn't about competing, it is about obsession.
Your clan is a target too.

Speaking of Strategic Ultimatum, here we have a clan suspended for months, shut down, no leader and only 1 member.
Sitting in 6th place in the 2016 Clan standings.
This the left-overs from the fiasco in 2015.

This must surely be indicative of the damage being done to this popular feature.
Site management must surely be aware of this and understand that
more work needs to be done to clean this up.

This clan forum is a good platform for ideas. There have been some good ones already.

In some cases, it was difficult for Carrobie to reject the challenges since he issued them !! 😲😲
