Secondly, crap. Vacation messages neither demand to be read nor trusted. Timeouts are legitimate, irrespective of the reason's veracity.

So are you. Or you have a very strange sense of humour, if any at all.
If you want to turn this into something personal, isiot, PM me.

Edit: It is a clan game, i've just looked.
Non-league Clan games don't auto-timeout as far as I know.

Why didn't you just message the Meman, if you felt his conduct was so awful.....perhaps, Meman didn't see the message, or he was just cleaning out his games and forgot.

This thread would be of no comfort to a man of the quality of In His Name who appears to be a graceful and compassionate man of faith.

If just had to start a thread that would bring In His Name to everyones' attention...why not start one of support for him and his wife?

Who are you EXACTLY to be "calling out" anyone for their conduct? 😠

I bet InHisName has bigger things to worry about.

I guess Freddy does not.

Being able to construct a sentence saying he doesn't want to join clans is different from being fluent enough in English to be able to read a vacation message.
With some research I can construct a passable sentence in almost any language. However it would take some time. It would also take me just as long to translate a vacation message written in another language. How would I know whether I should bother (is it just another 'I'm on vacation' message or something else?) for any given message?

Would he not write his message in his native language and english, in that case?

I don't know. Notice I asked whether anyone actually knew if he could speak english. I didn't assert that he couldn't. If you have knowledge I don't (that isn't made up) feel free to enlighten me.

You never said he doesn't speak english, so you're not really wrong. But I presume he does speak english. Anyways, back to the topic. If In His Name wants to continue playing chess here (hopefully he does), most likely it will be a while before he gets a real challenge. Firstly because I think most players around his true rating would not be willing to risk all those points, and secondly because it would take about 20 games to get back to a decent ranking.

Now I would like to present a question: If personA and personB are both playing a rated game with personC, and personC resigns to both people at precisely the same time, what happens? Is it as if his rating was the same for each resignation (since, assuming his opponents rantings were compatible with his, personCs rating should go down after the first resignation)?
