Couple of questions for you Robbie and anyone else who might be interested in replying instead of just thumbing down....
Question 1 - what is the difference between what happened in 2015 with University of Chess for Fun and Strategic Ultimatum and what has happened this year between Easy Riders, Arrow, Anti-Metallica and Breaking Bad - which tactics have been different (apart from Admin's response of course)
Question 2 - What would you or others say if Metallica (or another group) did the same as what you have done this year in 2017 and had lots of 20 v 20 clan games going on and lots of repeat 40 points going all the time? This might actually interest some people in doing just to prove a point and you would have been the one to open this pandora box.
From my stint here on RHP i seem to recall the following tactics that have been used and admin's responses to them.
1) Player Rotation - Think this was limited?
2) Mass challenges - Only 3 concurrent challenges at a time and one challenge per week now
3) - Pre agreed draws - Dont count to the final results now highlighted flaw by Aim High back in the day
4) Very unfair match ups - 200 point gap introduced
5) Clan standings by Net points per year as opposed to total points ever.

anyone is free to do what they like within the rules, I have no objections except to sandbagging which I do not tolerate in my own clan.

What what your definition of a sand bagger be? (this is me asking as a lower rated player)
Originally posted by Silverstrikerits my opinion that all problems or the vast majority of them at least will be solved if we adopt a clan ELO based system, which rewards good chess, not skullduggery.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieAnd what criteria do you use to identify someone as a sandbagger ?
someone who artificially reduces their rating to take advantage of others.
Someone who finishes in first place ??
More specifically, who do you like to point the finger at ??
And is sandbagging in violation of any rules ??
As you like to state all the time ??
And if neither sandbagging or collusion break any rules,
then it remains only to decide in this clan forum
which practice is more despicable in the eyes of forum readership and site membership in general.
I for one will say that we have stated our case far better than you and your cohorts have stated yours !!

Particularly links to actual results.
The margin of victory by Easy Riders is noted beside each challenge (draws excluded).
Clan challenge 278037 – 21W 5L
Clan challenge 279173 – 11W 4L
Clan challenge 278877 – 27W 3L
Clan challenge 279041 – 27W 5L
Clan challenge 279318 – 14W 2L
Clan challenge 280444 – 27W 3L
Clan challenge 281335 – 8W 2L
Clan challenge 280319 – 24W 2L
Clan challenge 280872 – 14W 2L
Clan challenge 281025 – 11W 5L
It should be pointed out that there are another 30 or so challenges out there.
I just pulled the first 10 from beginning of the year.
These challenges also were set before Site put in the 200 rating point limit.
So you can see the rating differences today when you bring up the challenge.
They were there back then. because site admin put a stop to this.
You can also see the "tough" opponents Robbie had to face in these clan challenges.
On average, more than 600 points lower than his rating for 10 games.
730 of 1174 Easy Riders' net points achieved in this impressive manner !!

IT appears more like facts you are unwilling to accept.
While we are talking about sandbagging. What do you call what Potatoe Head (aka mctayto) was doing resigning games on his 3rd move so you could benefit points by it. Now you have him in your Clan.
You are at least a hypocrite, my old friend!!!! What about Breaking bad, anti-metallica & arrow throwing points your way? Potatoe Head was Clan leader of one of those clans at one time was he not? I bet that was part of the plan for him to do this all year throwing points your way, then around the end of the year join your clan which has happened!!!
"Easy Riders", OH YES, They will be remembered for the CHEATERS they were!!!
