Of course you're going to defend him! Haha! Why didn't I see it before? He's the strongest player in your clan, if he gets shunned by these people they won't play your clan. So then you would have a choice between dropping a good player or not playing matches against certain clans. Don't you think you're opinion might be a little too biased?
you discovered my plan to rule the clan world!! now all my plans are shattered...
come on, arrest me!
now, before you get all batman on me,let me just explain.
timtim made a mistake, thats a fact and im not going to fight over that. but myabe im gullable, or just plain stupid, but i believe him completely.
i will say this one last time, timtim is a very strong player with a true raiting of over 2000 and he could have entered the south america tourney, the asia tourney( where the top player there is tequila from europe, but nobody mentions that) and the oceania touney (where the top player digit gus is from spain, but nobody mentions that).
in all of these tourneys timtim would most likely win, but he joined the africa tourney. so all of you PLEASE stop making him into some kind of a evil professor. he made a mistake, so did tequila and so did digit gus, so stop picking on him and let the poor kid play chess in peace.
Originally posted by Faith No Morehis rating was not the reason at all, it was coz he was the first i found (only checked the african tourney - me being from zim). i did not realise there was another in there.
i can understand why you might be mad at him. but it upsets me that you only mentioned him because of his rating...
i am in the south america tourney, but you didnt even bother checking because of my low rating. if i would have a high rating i am pretty sure you would look.
if you have an opinion stick by it to every palyer and not only the stronger ones
either way lets see if he resigns all his games and that will prove for definate that it was a mistake. if as u say his real rating should be 2000 then i am sure it will be, just a bit later than expected.
to get him started he can come take some points off.
timtim i await yre challenge so i can give u some pointage.

it does seem odd that for such obviously intelligent ppl that they would make such a mistake.
anyways i think enough said.

Just one problem.
Timtim is from the USA - has a USA flag up..and no mention whatsoever of Africa in his profile.
Not amused.

Look, I have already apologized about it. I'm sorry again, but don't have an orgasm about it. I joined the tourney to get more games in, i did not join the tourney in the intention of making anyone mad.
Most people wouldn't mind because they are in it for the competition. Not just to win the tourney. Once you report it and (if) I get kicked out then you will have your chance to "win a tourney".
Sorry my tourney was already in progress and I wanted to play more games. You need to lighten up and shut up. I'm tired of your petty ass bs.
regards
timtim
Originally posted by saffa73i understand this is completely wrong, and he shouldnt have spoken that way. but i will say it again, also the asia and the oceania tournaments have a high rated player NOT from that area. so if you want to yell, fight, scream, hit, kill, and hurt timtim, just know that he is one of 3 that did the same, and shouldnt be treated as a horrible criminal.

Sure doesn't say it was an 'accident'...
Looks fairly intentional to me, if you read between the lines..
His language maybe indicitive of a guilty conscience?
And as far as the other players in other continental tournaments... yes, I agree they are in the wrong too, but I am making a fuss about Timtim because he is in the tourney I am playing in, and possibly denying me the chance to win.
Saffa, except that Russ - and you, and TimTim, and others - agreed that the person who wins would be the highest ranked person from the appropriate continent (see the Continents thread in the tournament section).
So I really don't see why it is being brought up, along with fairly disparaging comments. TimTim is obviously a very strong player - stronger than me I think, based on our current games, and that would put him easily in the top 20 under-16's in the US - and can't win the tourney, so just enjoy the games.
Hi everyone,
I was just informed about this post and thought it would be alright that I get my say in it.
First off, thank you Faith No More for sticking up for me through out the post and Osse for the help and compliments as well.
Second, to all the people that have been talking about I should resign and all that rubbish. I respect all of you because you have found the time to talk down on a person that has nothing to do w/ you(except Saffa, I now understand his arguement). 🙂 I hope you feel big about yourselfs.
Third, I am sorry to the others that are in the African tourney that are mad about the issue of me being in "their" tourney especially Saffa because I understand that he had the chance to win his first tourney, and he still does. Yes, I realized it was their tourney before I signed up. But how come three days before the tourney started was I not informed by anyone that was also in the tourney? Or by one of the admins before they started the tourney? Yes, I truelly was looking for more games, but had I been told that I should leave the tourney before it had started I would have gladly left the tourney. And I do realize that many of you are thinking, well it should have been obvious that I shouldn't have joined the tourney. No, it wasn't, I knew that someone from Africa had to win the tourney but I didn't realize that people from other continents could not enjoy playing in the tournament. I'm sorry, this was my mistake, but I do not intend to solve it by resigning all my games. It is not like me, and even by doing it, how would you be able to explain it as being honorable?
Anywayz, this issue about the person that wins the tourney has been solved by Russ. Once again, I'm sorry to the people that are from Africa that are in the African tourney.
regards
timtim
P.S.
I now realize it was stupid of me to say the things that I said in the Continents post in the tournament forum. I was frustrated because people were taking something big from a small issue.
Originally posted by timtimwell said, Tim. It is good to see that a teen ager can be mature enough to apologize when he makes a mistake. Very proud of you Tim :-)

fair enough timtim, but i do believe the tournaments were closed/started coz of ppl entering when they were inelligible. now IF that is the case then it does have something do with with other africans (europeans etc) who may not have seen the tourney but would have entered, but now can not coz it has started.
i will give u the benfit of the doubt that it was a mistake.
as for the resignation issue u must do as u wish.
