no1, I'm surprised I wasn't already on your watch list. A 250 point rating spike, a stupid kid with no moral values... I thought I'd be your prime suspect. But wait, maybe you're cheating, and you don't even know it.😲

Nah, you were too yella to play me; the teenagers using the engines are only too happy to play higher rated players. Your cowardice has saved you (for now).

So what if I said "Hey No1, I'm dying to play you, please honor me with a match"? Would that mean I'm cheating, even though my rating is about to knock a hole into the floor?
Or would I have to add "Send over a challenge if you're not too scared of being beaten into the ground" in order to be suspected?

(Please note: That was just hypothetical. While I wouldn't be disinclined to play a game, I'm well aware that I wouldn't last 20 moves on a good day 😉)

Well yeah I saw it and thought it was rather cheap.
And it's not like your clan has a monopoly on sarcasm... I know "It's the only service we offer", ie. you're incapable of anything other than sarcastic remarks... but you might also want to go back and read my post.
Right back at ya.

However publishing anonymous statistics on how many players have been investigated and how many have been shown to be likely engine users might help allay peoples fears.[/b]
I sincerely doubt that you can libel a fictitious username. As I have said, other sites do announce usernames found violating prohibitions against engine use on a routine basis.

Besides which , according to TOS you can get dumped from the site for nothing more than mods/russ not liking the imaginary look on one's imaginary face , with no recourse or restitution due to the dumpie .

I said when the concept of engine police was introduced that those banned MUST be named or at least the numbers banned quoted.

In this way those thinking of joining specifically to play using an engine will think twice about wasting their money.

I'd say you were hitting on him, but that's just me. 😀

no1, I wouldn't mind playing you in a friendly game, I just didn't want to play a one player challenge against you in which I had no chance.

A) I don't play 'friendly" games;

B) I don't play one player challenges. The offer was to play you as part of a clan challenge.

It's moot now as I am no longer going to play in clan challenges except MEGACHALLENGES.

Hey , this was a serious discussion of a topic that interested a lot of us . If we start the petty clan goading here it will take away from an important discussion/debate .

EDIT : That's not just directed at you Nyxie . I meant everyone . This issue reaches beond clan rivalries .
