hey Suzianne,
There isn't really much you could have done about it, since your clan leader assigns the games.. once he/she clicks Start Challenge, the game is on.. you shouldn't feel you were tricked by any means.. like someone previous said, the clan leader should check the history of the players that are being pushed over. I know though not all clan ...[text shortened]... ence by clan leaders to investigate past histories of players being pushed over for challenges..
Couldn't agree more! I would rec you if I could! Now see folks, a logical post like this DESERVES RECS, not Nyxie's, "Anything you can do I can do better/quicker! Hahahha! Patzers!" post.

There is a SIMPLE solution to this problem, GOOD/RESPONSIBLE clan leaders with free time on their hands. People have no right to complain about it, if you are complaining about it, then change clans to a leader who's simply better at managing games and the team.

Then it's settled, move on!

Well, EXCUUUUSE ME, but you're angry reply to the Slow Pawn after jousting at Nyxie's rash and brash improvement suggested to me you were "sandbagged" by him and bitter about it. (Really he went inactive and just played again, and that upset lower rated clan members who played him) Now you say it's somebody else? How is this all relevant? Create your own thread like this for the clans board.
For your info, I was responding to numerous posts in this thread asking me what I meant and what happened...

Perhaps you should read the entire thread first before posting.

And how does this (my reply to TSP in another thread) have anything to do with it? I posted the link to the thread (not my post) to enlighten people as to what I was talking about. Sandbagging is wrong, and I will continue to harp about it whenever I see it happening. The only connection is that I have strong feelings about it because it happened to me, while I was still naive about such things.

Suzainne,

There is a difference between 322 points (that you mentioned earlier) and almost 800.

And with regards to sandbagging ... Nyxie has not been sandbagging she has simply played a 1200-1300 standard for over 300 games and now she is playing at around 2000 - That's not sandbagging that is well, I said it often enough before that is .....

sandbagging:When a player in any game chooses (on purpose) to not play their best. Normally this is because they are too superior, they want to hustle you, or they are too lazy to play their best with nothing on the line

Holy crap are you kidding me? It's where someone purposly loses games to get their rating lower to either enter a tourney where they can win a prize easily.

It's US slang. Don't expect everyone outside America to be familiar with the term. Plonker.

Well, considering it was a well understood chess term and that it's been published in books, I thought he would have known it. But good point either way.

... says the guy who had no idea what sandbagging was in this context before an Englishman came and explained it to him. 😛

People sand bagging on this site is bad enough, but I have conclusive proof that a number of players have been tea bagging, and that's just not nice...
