I was playing a guy in online chess (of course) and when we started, he asked me if I was from OTL, I said "what?" He said "are you from OTL?"

When I reponded "OTL?" (obviously meaning it in a question) He resigned the game...

I looked up OTL and if you look closely the O is a head and the T is the arms and the L is the legs.

OTL represents a person "defeated or tired or beaten down...tired etc"

It looks like a person bent over on his hands and knees...but why would this be a group and why would we meet at a chess site? He was a new member and it seemed like they were meeting at a specific spot and he thought I was one of them, when he found out I wasn't he resigned the game.

Anyone have an idea?

So how would that apply to me and an internet chess game?

Perhaps the guy was on some bad drugs messing with you.

He was probably gay.

Not that there is anything wrong with being happy. 😉

Of course, gay means happy.

Count to 10 really slow, and repeat as many times as needed.
