Sorry Handboy,
how many countries other than the u.s. and Canada make up North America? I was under the impression that those were the only 2. Forgive the ignorance of this wee peasant irish boy.
Anyway, so how long does it take you to build an igloo?

Now no more out of you, according to your wife, you're supposed to be abstaining from violating RHP for at least a month. Cheater.

Game 1441613
Interesting! Nyxie resigns most of her games with the exception of 8 of them. It would seem she has a special interest in finishing these specific games. The above links are games she has against ThePo and Exy. A close eye should be kept on how they turn out.
The suspense is overwhelming.

Originally posted by zakkwylderThe reason those 2 games are going is because it is not her move and you can't time out players who have been banned as it has a "please wait" next to the game. I'm playing Exy and would have won on time but I cannot time him out yet. I believe all their games (banned players) games will be resigned all at once at some point, just not sure when.

Hmmmm, she's gone from a consistant 1400 rated player, to now a high 1900 rated player in less then a month. *scratches head*. Maybe she should give players around her previous strenght advice on the quick miraculous improvement?

However, to go from 1400 to 2000 in just under 3 months, seems like the study plan to become the ultimate leader of the free world!
And for the record, fool, she was 1750+ five months ago. Please take your witch-hunt somewhere else... it's getting nauseating and I'm not the only one tired of it.

VILLAGER #1:
We have found a witch. May we burn her?
CROWD:
Burn her! Burn! Burn her! Burn her!
BEDEVERE:
How do you know she is a witch?
VILLAGER #2:
She looks like one.
CROWD:
Right! Yeah! Yeah!
BEDEVERE:
Bring her forward.
WITCH:
I'm not a witch. I'm not a witch.
BEDEVERE:
Uh, but you are dressed as one.
WITCH:
They dressed me up like this.
CROWD:
Augh, we didn't! We didn't...
WITCH:
And this isn't my nose. It's a false one.
BEDEVERE:
Well?
VILLAGER #1:
Well, we did do the nose.
BEDEVERE:
The nose?
VILLAGER #1:
And the hat, but she is a witch!
VILLAGER #2:
Yeah!
CROWD:
We burn her! Right! Yeaaah! Yeaah!
BEDEVERE:
Did you dress her up like this?
VILLAGER #1:
No!
VILLAGER #2 and 3:
No. No.
VILLAGER #2:
No.
VILLAGER #1:
No.
VILLAGERS #2 and #3:
No.
VILLAGER #1:
Yes.
VILLAGER #2:
Yes.

Yes. Yeah, a bit.

Originally posted by RagnorakWell, it appears that I spotted this thread a little too late for commentary, but I really don't care. I've read the entire thread, and the conversation drifted slowly into a massive argument over sandbagging, and I agree with Mr. Rag on his beliefs in what makes a good clan leader. However, a good clan leader DOES NOT use under handed tactics such as sandbagging to ensure a victory for your clan. That is what you would call an effective leader, but not a good one. I do my best to be fair and spot suspicious activity within the challenges, but I am human, and I do make mistakes. My opinion is that most leaders do not go out of their way to create ridiculous and completely unfair matches, and that they simply look at the surface rating and decide based on that. To avoid nasty complications and heated shouting matches in the future, it would be best for the challenging clan leader to make an effort to ensure that all players participating in a match are where they should be, and that no match could be construed as unfair in the future. True, it was my responsibility to check the history of the player in question, and I do not shy away from any blame placed on my shoulders. I became a clan leader 3 and a half months ago, so I am still not yet a seasoned veteran of clan play, and apparently there are still things to learn about the intrigue and guile of it all. Rest assured that such "little sneaky things" will not escape my eye again, and that Perdition's Flame will never knowingly create unfair matches that seem acceptable on the outside. If I am not "savvy" enough, with time I will be, and without using arguable tactics. Perdition's Flame is coming. All other clans will be sliced like wheat before a scythe, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
That's what makes a good clan leader... setting up challenges that are favourable to their clan, and on the flipside, spotting little sneaky things like a player rated below their true level.
If you're not happy with this happening, I'd recommend you change clans to one where the clan leader is more savvy in dealing with clan challenges. No point com ...[text shortened]... d player, and you wouldn't have lost many rating points as he was rated so much above you.

Is there a coded message in there somewhere?

Originally posted by ivangriceThe only message I was trying to send is that she's not a witch and no amount of villagers *saying* she's a witch makes it so. In fact, they've done their best to dress her up in witch's clothing, but that *still* doesn't mean she is a witch.

Man, you gotta draw some people a frickin' map!
