Evening all.
I was RHP-less for rather longer than intended, and things being as weird as they are at the moment the hiatus may continue for a month or so. A few points:
1. Very sorry to all of my opponents for holding up various games and chats and such.
2. Also very sorry to the Contumelious Clan for getting timed out repeatedly.
3. Very, very sorry indeed with apologies to spare to Darvlay for taking so long on the CDs. The fifth and final version (procrastination breeds perfectionism) is being burned as we speak and posted tomorrow morning.
4. Verse competition on hold, although continue sending stuff.
Peace and love,
Mark

Originally posted by royalchickenWith considerable reluctance, I have kicked you from the People's Champions: The Contumelious Clan. You logged on long enough to make this thread, make a move in a non-CC game and then turn your vacation flag off. This means that anyone should feel no qualms about timing you out in our games which you have not moved in in more than two weeks. While it's none of my business what goes on in your personal life, I run a competitive clan here and you are expected to make some effort to fulfill your obligations. For whatever reason, you have not. Therefore, as you have given me no reason to continue to retain you on the clan, I have done what I believe is best.

Originally posted by no1marauderI thought the clan system was not the most important thing at RHP? So why bother about being timed out? Surely the Peoples Champions - The Ominous Capitals Clan could not care about being timed out in a couple of matches.

Originally posted by no1marauderWhy did you announce this here in the general forum? Why not just send him a private message? You're a malicious public relations machine.

Originally posted by StarrmanBecause it surely would have been commented on by others; some already did so when RC was timed out of games earlier. Might as well say it up front rather than wait for the inevitable sniping.
Agreed, I'm not sure I see the point of announcing his fate.

Originally posted by no1marauderWell that's one of the more exuberant threads I've read recently. It's your clan, I guess it's up to you how you run it.

Originally posted by no1marauderI must say that I'm shocked, surprised and mildly flattered that both myself and Darvlay are now sooooo influential in the running of the Contumelious Clan.

Do you think I could goad you into giving Ravello the boot?

Originally posted by RagnorakAs I'm sure you're aware, your influence on how The people's Champions: The Contumelious Clan is run is zero ("0"😉. I adhered to prior stated policy; when Mark had his vacation flag up, it was presumed he had a good excuse for being timed out; once he took off his vacation flag and got timed out, he was in violation of my policy. That this announcement was made here was because of Mark bringing the CC up in his first post, but since some others would have commented anyway might as well be up front.
