I can honestly say that I've not met one rude person during a game yet. Even people who I cross swords with on the fora (like Chancremechanic and Slimjim) are absolutely polite, friendly and funny during matches.
I love you all.
i've always wanted to say 'You're goin' down like a $2 ho, mofo!' before an OTB game, and i recently accomplished this ambition at a tournament. the opponent i was supposed to play didn't turn up, so half an hour after all the other games started i was re-paired by chance with a friend of mine, whose opponent had also been a no-show. It was something we had joked about previously, so i jumped at the chance. I was hoping he would offer a draw during the game so i could try out another line we had joked about: 'Thank you, but i would prefer to crush you like an insect'... Alas, he didn't offer a draw. I checkmated with seconds on the clock, and i have to say he was very sporting in reminding me to punch my clock in the tense final moments when i had forgotten.
edit: i should add that we got some pretty weird looks from players on adjacent boards. most of them were like 'have a jolly good game, old chap!' (i'm in England)

That's not an England I recognise...are you a time traveller by any chance?
ok, i'm just taking the p*ss a bit. you got me😞
This is just about conversation, right? If it's about games I'd obviously name the handful of players I can easily best...
But ah well, here are the opponents I enjoy chatting with a lot:
Freddie, Nyxie, Starrman, Phil Nutley, eagles54, Officer Dibble and Edi74. Ironman was very nice too the one time I played him, but we didn't have much time to chat as the game only lasted... oh no, never mind, I hate mentioning the number 10 when referring to numbver of moves survived...
Paulie seems to be really nice too, I just haven't played that many games agiainst him.
My favorite otb player is Edi74 though. Yesterday I managed a draw... it was the first time I didn't lose! (Ok, so maybe he was playing without his queen..) Really hilarious though 😉
Sorry if I've fogotten anybody 😉
Angie 😀
Edit: And I'm a social person. I try to strike up a conversation with nearly everyone 😉

Don't worry Angie, I am sure most of us would have been crushed just as easily against Ironman (including myself, of course). 🙂
Originally posted by shavixmirI have not had bad experiences with any of my opponents either, but I have not been here that long. Most of my games are silent, except for those I play against people I have met in person. I had one opponent tell me at the beginning of the game, that s/he was going to beat me, but I didn't let that bother me. Opponents that I have not met who have been chatty, and very polite were Ark13, and Wulebgr. Both were very classy players. I would play them again anyday.
