Hopefully we don't have to wear any hats.

My head size is custom made and it's embarrassing 😞
We already knew you have a tiny head, no need for a big head with a tiny brain 😁

@Trevor,

Not at all, just proved my point with the 5 thumbs down just one missing now he will have to recruit more to try to prove me wrong, we all know the Ghost is the master who pulls the strings. Whether you are in on it or not doesn't even matter one way or the other to me.

Take your head and double it.

Then you're almost at my size.

Stores that sell hats for sports teams didn't have my size when I hit 18 years old.

I'm guessing my head weighs about 50 pounds.
My only saving grace is my body is proportional so it hides it a bit.
If I was skinny like you, I wouldn't be able to carry my own head.

The fact is you don't know how to play Clan Challenges and win.

All you know is how to play chess!!!! FACT!!!

It's true I don't know how to resign games that are undecided, just to end a challenge.

Only somebody who had forgotten the reason we play chess would do that.


@Moonbus says
The clan system is negligibly about chess. The essential tactic is gaming the scoring system, not playing good chess. Any other game-content could be the occasion for it. One could just as well be 'playing' backgammon (and throwing playable games) or bridge (and throwing playable games) or checkers (and throwing playable games) or rummy (and throwing playable games).

@moonbus,
With all due respect, you don't even play in the Clan Challenges you don't know the tactics Clans use to hold up challenges so you can't start another one. It is done PURPOSELY, so Clans can not start another as we are only allowed to play 3 challenges consecutively against the same Clan. When someone is at move 13 or 14 and all other games are completed. That Sir, is called holding up the challenge so another can not be started. Do you call that Fair Chess???

It isn't a lie at all. I even remember diver at the time saying I know what you guys are doing with the thumbs down.

You also have to stop you lies and tell diver you apologize for what you did and got others to do to.

What reason would I have to even lie about it, diver even knew we were doing it.

You send what ever you have I said about Michael, which is absolutely NOTHING!!!

Ghost could tell me you hated my guts. What he doesn't know is that I deserved it. In the early years I was a horrible leader, and worse I was stupid for posting in here and fighting with Bill and a ton of other people. There is nothing Bill could ever have said that would change the fact I look at him like a brother. I know it sounds silly because we never met. But that is how I look at him.

Nothing in this world that he could have said or said recently that would ever change how I look up to him as a mentor, friend, and a brother.

So Ghost can say what ever he likes. It's wasted posts. Without Bill, I don't have championships. And advice on my life outside of chess. Ghost once again has lost the plot. But he loves the sound of his own voice we all know that.

Talk soon Rusty.


@Ghost-of-a-Duke said
A complete lie.

Not sure you could sink any lower. You are the last person on the site I would PM about such a thing.

And completely pointless. Only you care about thumbs.

Perhaps I should share the PM you sent about Michael?!
Please send the message. You want to send it to my email? I'll give you my email you can copy and paste it there and send it to me. So this way we can stop reading about empty threats. Be a man, grow a pair, and send it.

Do you think it would change anything between myself and my co captain?
How shallow are you really? Tell me in a PM you want my email, I will send it to you. Or you can post it in here. What ever is easiest for you.

And Ben got academy awards for that movie along with Damon. The movie was brilliant and unique. Robin Williams was brilliant and he finally got a academy award as well.

I'll be waiting for the PM..... I will then send you my email. Providing you you don't have the nerve to post it.

This has been going on for at least 16 years. Russ looked into it and said it was fair. If a challenge is being held up, and we are at 3 months or more "IF the challenge is decided already, and we have won it mathematically, then I will end that challenge."

It's legal.

Don't like it Ghost then don't play for any clan and you will have nothing to complain about. That goes for the rest of the lot.

I use to complain about it to. Then I realized clans are a team, and we are playing for a team championship. Metallica gave us the blue print and there was nothing wrong with it then just as it is perfectly fine now.

I won't wait ten months for a game to finish. Many players do this. We would never get any points and would lose every year.

WE play within the rules, it's a good rule, it does not happen often but it will continue and I will make sure our team gets our points and that we can start another challenge. Thank God for the leaders that play us and send fair matches over to us.

I will not accept unfair challenges anymore. I'm done with that.

I know all the players so it's not that hard.

We will continue to play fair and by the rules. And to be honest, I like the clan system that Russ set up. I don't see anything wrong with it. A different rating would help, but not needed, a co captain would be nice for teams but not needed, and combining the smaller clans I think is a great idea and is needed.

Complain all you want Ghost, the rules are the rules. So obey them.

But will still make them though, hey?

Yes, some clan leaders have been telling me about it.

I was younger 16 plus years ago. And foolish. I did not understand anything about this site. As you can see by our teams record, that is long behind us. I get along with all or most of the leaders and I make sure I talk to them. They are good people and kind. We can talk to each other and agree and disagree but still remain friends or friendly.

And I have heard a lot about you my dear friend. Quite a lot. Most people don't remember or care what happened almost twenty years ago. I was doing what you are doing now with all the disagreeing.

I found out that my protest was wrong, Metallica was completely in the right, and Russ back them up. All legal.

I stopped posting for years. I don;'t like the forums but only come in when needed.


@Ghost-of-a-Duke said
A complete lie.

But go ahead, give the context. On what conceivable planet would I PM you (above all people) about such a thing.

But anyway, back to the PM (plural) you sent me regarding Michael. Shall we discuss that (them) ? - Third time of asking.
Third time answering you. Where is My PM proving he did it. PM me and I'll give you my email address. You can send it there.

Or prove it here for everyone to see. All I hear and read is stupid empty threats about PM's that don't exist.

One thing I know as FACT is Rusty does not lie. If he is saying you PM'd him then you did it. Which makes you a liar.

I've know Rusty for every day I have been on here. If he said you did it, you Sir did it.

Third time, I'll be waiting for your PM since you are unable to prove it in here.
