    The issue is NOT about sandbagging !!
    It is about 4 clans getting together to set up a bunch of challenges
    designed to create points for one of the 4 clans.
    That is collusion !!

    You and your cohorts have always been ...[text shortened]... ead
    and starting an informal poll on what the site readership thinks about these developments.
    yes wouldn't you like your clans sandbagging swept under the carpet, but no, you need to be outed!

    Easy Riders: 60 wins 27 loses
    Metallica: 30 win 12 loses

    Metallica has a better win rate, what's up with that? I thought challenges were supposed to be evenly matched. What makes the odds go in favor to Metallica to such a high degree?

    yes indeed metallica win 60-70 percent of their challenges, one would think they must all be grandmasters, but noooooo, the answer is quite simple. sandbagging. They have in the past attempted to state that it was due to the skill of their leader but upon inspection of his forum posts anyone can see hes rather a dullard and incapable of anything beyond mediocrity.

    Tyranny ??
    What are you babbling about ?? This is a chess site !!

    You keep bringing your personal hand-wringing issues in life to this site.
    That is the root of all your whining in this forum.

    And it has contributed to the fiasco that you and your partners in collusion have perpetrated.

    There we go again !! If someone wins, they must be cheating !!
    That has been the mantra of Carrobie and company.
    They bring their world view ideology to a leisure chess site.

    They find their bad guy, Metallica, so they can replay their life grievance-fest.
    And at some point they decide to do something about it.
    They don't even deny their collusion anymore.
    After all, Metallica has always been guilty !! Of something !!

    Our record ?? Yeah, we win more than we lose !! Isn't that the goal of every clan ??

    Easy Riders ??
    The more they pile up the points, the more they stick out as a red flag.
    And the more they start yapping about the clan in 3rd place.

    You can draw your own conclusions !!
    The forum readership has arrived at theirs (see first post).

    not only does Metallica cheat in various ways by their conniving little leader
    but they have a clan of goose steppers ready to defend their cheating leader
    and then they gloat about how great their cheating little clan is

    your reign of tyranny is over, your once proud citadel is being reclaimed by the desert sand accumulated from your own bags. No more will the sound of rejoicing be heard in the once proud city, a lurking place for goat shaped demons and every unclean expression, Metallica the great has fallen!

    The Easy Riders have 3 other clans feeding them wins. Despite this, Metallica has a better win rate. It doesn't add up. I just want to know what Metallica is doing to win so much. Obviously, they are doing something to stack the odds in their favor.

    If it's not sandbagging, then what is it?

    what they have done in the past is :
    arranging matches with inactive players on the other side
    sandbagging by dumping clan matches at the end of the year or when the match has already been decided
    and probably collusion

    Our reign of tyranny ??
    This is a leisure chess site !!

    What happened to you in your childhood ??
    Did you end up with a smaller piece of cake at a birthday party ?
    Did other kids in your neighbourhood have nicer bicycles when you were young ??
    Were you dropped on your head ?

    What has led to your inferiority complex that you now bring into this forum ?
    When you see someone else being successful, why is it because of some cheating ?
    Or something else.

    Why is the clan race about you bringing down the Metallica tyranny ??
    Instead of your clan winning ??

    I am a subscriber to this site, at a cost of about $4 USD per month
    because I enjoy chess.
    87% of my games are tournament games.
    And I like to play in clan games.
    And I like this forum as a form of entertainment.

    What does this site do for you ?? Does Metallica keep you up at night ?
    Hmmm ??

    I wonder. You and your cohorts are going to great lengths to bring
    down the Metallica tyranny !!
    You can't be having any fun here !!

    You can rest assured !! I am getting my $$$'s worth here.
    Playing for a very good clan that will not always win every year.
    But we are a good group of guys/gals. And we compete.

    I look at the clan standings. There is a good battle going on between several clans. Competitive to say the least.

    Your clan ?? Easy Riders ?? They're just an asterisk * 😴😴

    Gee whiz !! Baby lemon just learned a new word !!

    After we went to great lengths to explain to you what the word meant, you now try to attach it to our clan ??

    Hilarious !!
    Sometimes accidental comedy is the best kind of comedy !!

    Hilarious !! Just hilarious !! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
