Almost True Story of Red Hot Pawn

93. At least, of course, until the non-subs realized that any sub could ignore their games almost indefinetly, largely due to the interesting vacation system innovation. Oh, how much heat and fury would erupt. Was it fair to have a mechanism for freezing games? Well, well. The debate would rage for months, and yet, the vacation system would prevail to the modern era.

95. Camps would form in the forums. It all boiled down to two main camps, howver. Those who favored moderation and those who protested moderation as censorship and evil. No1Maurader, of course, being the protagonist on both sides.

96. Sheila fumed. Who is this coquette? Sheila was not about to have her primacy threatened by some nobody. Her rage would not be assuaged. She would find this coquette and remove her from the game. Death to the imposter! The search began. Was she a so-called queen, hiding somewhere on the greater chess board? Was she some maiden hoping to be elevated? Whatever her status, she was no longer safe!

97. Sheila got on the phone to Doyle and said, "Find this Coquette and bring her to me." Doyle replied, "But where do I start..I have to have a starting point". Sheila hissed, "Have you no brain 'Doilly', look at her correspondence i the forums. I'd say Oklahoma would be a good starting off point....wherever that is".

99. Sheila fumed when she saw that this coquette imposter was ranked on the 1st page of most active players in RHP. This would end! This would be easy, thought Sheila, as all she would need to do was lure coquette to play in a match to the death. An epic match was in the making!

100. Somehow (she had her ways), Latitsia (you remember..the Romanian Bombshell) got wind of the upcoming DEATH MATCH and chortled to herself, "Now maybe I'll be rid of that B*#@h Sheila once and forall. What of this Coquette though? I'll have to do some research on her and try to determine if she too will be a thorn in my side."

102. Coquette's favorite opening? D4, of course! The Queen rules! Little did she know that she was playing Doyle's engine, under the name of Queen Sheila. RHP names are so lame, thought coquette. Queen Sheila, indeed, What a joke!

103. It was Ben, however, who would be the major force in this epic battle, as he would be the main distraction for Sheila's attention. Was there a subplot forming?

104. Oh, what calamities lay ahead for RHP!

Clans would beget clubs.
Blitz would be in Beta for 6 years.
The great power outage of '08 would result in one of the greatest works of literature since "Wealth of the Nation."
Conditional moves would be implemented.
Membership rates would rise.
Cheaters would be discovered and publically humiliated and banned.
Mods would come, and Mods would go.
The "safe at first rule" would be named the "vacation system," allowing a well-intentioned game to last 6 years.
Grampy Bobby would appear on the scene and experience, first hand, the treatment of Socrates.
Alas, chess would be found to have transpired, and it was good.

106. GB, so very wise, indeed, sat and taught the slave about the squares.

107. An Plato took notes, which would later be invaluable to the future King, and the foundations of the Republic.
