Ok, you are right - that isn't quite what I meant.

It wasn't random.

I took the night off from RHP... and I sure picked a bad one. I think you are doing a great job Russ.

I think ANYONE who is saying this plan is bad is in one of 2 groups.

Ignorant

or

Cheater.

I don't care if you don't play your second name at all... you are one person... you should have one screen name. I have not been here as long as some of the people complaining... but that doesn't mean the site belongs to them more than me.

As I've said before... there are enough Real People out there that I shouldn't have to play chess or chat with a Fake Person.

It's not so hard to figure out I am a real person... I am Phlabibit to most of you.... some know my real name... some even know who I am.

Just so everyone knows... I am one of the people to say "Hey Russ, I am going to leave this site cus it is a farce!"

I am just glad Russ did something to change the site. This is a good thing for the site. Too bad for anyone who has a problem with it.

Yes, stop using your other screen name... there is no good reason to have more than one name... if you want to play "make believe" save it for your tea party with the stuffed animals... keep if out of RHP.

i'm in the same boat as living legend-i remember at GK when the webmaster forcebly only allowed one user from each computer. which meant that people that played at other peoples houses and families were banned...

This isn't going to happen.

It is a trust thing - but where there are obvious signs of abuse, such as this one, then that is quite different.

These two things are not entirely unconnected. 😛

[Edit:For those outside of Europe, who may not know, Stella is a beer that you do not want to drink on a weekday - because if you do, you won't be going anywhere the next morning....]
hmm, maybe you're on to something. I did purchase a 24-pack of stella (only £10.08 in Tesco everybody!) earlier this week, and there's only 5 left....

.......step forward Baron Of Chess.

Now as I said earlier, the methods we use have been accurate in the past. And there is a only a slight chance I am wrong.

So, the ‘Russ explan’ thread develops. Serious stuff.

In there is posts like this :

“Baron of Chess
28 Nov '03 01:03
I wish to make this statement, knowing that I may (WILL) be banned from this site...”

Yep, you are ...[text shortened]... out these posts, BUT, guess what….

IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY THEY ARE THE SAME PERSON!!!!!!

Just tossing in my two turtle cents, but I have a hard enough time with playing "real" people, that I think its sort of crazy for me to have to worry about folks with multi-nicks, etc.

I trust Russ to take care of the site, and I think however he decides to do it, thats fine and okay with me.

I learned how to play chess here and have a great time, winning and (mostly) losing. The Clans are a blast and generally we all have a great time - due to Russ's time input here.

Thats my two cents - Russ I trust you, thanks for watching the fort.
