Club 4


I've got 37 names so far. If we can get a few clubs with 50 names, It'll give Russ a reason to add features.

Subs, or non-subs....most welcome.

40 members now.

Just 10 more and we'll be the second club where interplay is rated. Also, maybe Russ will start working on club features.

Haha.

I know at least three are female, and we have 43 members now, so your cookie piece just got smaller.

My suprise is the amount of respected users that joined us, I hope this helps the club thing work. Even if all we do is set it up for others to use, it's a mark to be left on the site 🙂

Are there special club T-Shirts with funny or inspirational phrases on them?

I requested membership to your club. I have this book and am looking forward to reading it over spring break.

I think it's a great idea. I hope the program helps to lift spirits and ease some of the tension around here. Chess can heal as well as challenge and stimulate.

Remember what'll happen if you pass out and the camera man or camera woman sees you!

I joined your club and am most pleased to be a member. I have a question. If we have a member/members who are sand-baggers it shouldn't take long for it to show. In such a situation, should one be discovered, what will be the reaction? I am in the process of compiling a list of such people and aside from putting them on my no play list, once I have enough data, I intend to post it; the name and the data. I say this to make you, one and all, I have had enough of the cheating and that is why I joined this club and why I favor the club idea. It seems like the only tool we have for fighting the cheaters. My hat is off to you Mr. Hound. Keep up the good work, and the pictures be damed. Drunk or sober, your my kind of dog.

I'm not quite sure what you mean....are you asking if site sandbaggers will be accepted into the club, or whether club members who sandbag their club rating will be dealt with ?

For the former, i have to admit that the calibre of member so far would suggest that this wont be a problem. A very large amount of respected site users have joined, and i hope that stays that way.

For the latter, there is no way of knowing how things are going to turn out. It is entirely possible for a 2000 rated site member to have a low rating in the club, purely due to lack of play against fellow club members. As of yet there are no features for culling members, even if there were ground to anyway. With a forum, we could at least learn as a club, and all cut our teeth together. We will be clubs, not clans, so there is no reason why we cant learn from what other clubs do, and all work to make these things good for everyone...together.


Should i throw "Change" in there a few times, to get more votes 😉



edit....49 members....one to hit the magic number.
