And as for the next round...the bye will actually drop down to the
winner of the misslead - Alley Crime match...cause in effect bbarr is
actually getting a bye this round due to gbgnils leaving.
I never said this would be perfect...I have never played in a tourney
that was.

This was the promise that started the problems. I beat Misslead and
expected the promise made by the TD to be honoured. As you know
Dave has his problems and a new TD was "elected" He decided to give
the bye to another player. Although no other "mistakes" that Dave
may or may not have made have been addressed. I complained that
basically a promise is a promise and i had already made plans tied in
with not playing until Round 4. Of course being a small non important
player i was brushed aside but offered a sweetener "That i would not
lose by TO" to compensate for my plans. I have reflected about this
and would like to decline the sweetener/bribe call it what you will. I
complain very much about the refusal to grant me what was promised
by the original TD but i wish to play any remaining games on level
terms. My opponents have certainly gained out of the new decision but
they are not to blame. I will lose if they outplay me, which given their
much superier rating is likely but i will play them fairly. Others may
have cheated me but i wish to play in the spirit of the game. If i may
misquote George Orwell " On RHP everyone is created equal, some
are just more equal than others. Luckily I have one friend on the site
who will keep me in contact with my games via mobile telephone when
I am not able to get online. I trust this will be acceptable
