At what cost to the integrity of yourself, your clan, and the site itself? Tell me Rob, will you truly be proud to win the clan championship when you are aware of how you achieved winning it? Then again you are a Celtic fan so that explains a lot

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 ...[text shortened]... citadel apart piece by piece, you did not believe me and now must suffer for your lack of faith.

I hate to say this, Robbie, but that post sounds almost like a duplicate of the sort of stuff VESPIN used to post to his clan. Truly.

Not good, really.

If it was just that you like playing chess, then why would you "send back challenges" that you wanted to amend?

"She just likes playing chess" is also exactly the words VESPIN used, when questioned on it, to explain why the so-called leader of University of Chess For Fun didn't really seem to know quite how to play it.

Doesn't the profile he's written for his new clan, Breaking Bad, say something very similar too?

Whether it does I cannot say I have not looked at the profile of the Breaking bad clan and to be counted as worthy of the literary stature of the leader of the glorious revolution against Metallica tyranny is too much accolade for this peasant farmer, but one can dream, never the less.

No. Not a folk legend but a cautionary tale.

You know that too.

Robbie,
Most of the Clan leaders don't even look at you as a contender because of the way you obtained your points. I must say I have to agree with them. You didn't have to do it either, because you would have been in the running anyways! I don't know how many people or how many different ways you have to be told.
Sincerely,

Key word in subject line of this thread is "interesting".

Easy Riders are NOT interesting !!
Nothing interesting about 1800 rated players matched
against 1100 rated players in challenges. 😴😴😴😴
