I've said it before and I'll say it again... it is extremely laughable and disgusting for known clan sandbaggers to go on about someone else when they themselves have been shown to be on extremely tenuous moral ground...

Actions speak louder than words and I'm sorry, but their actions leave no doubt that you can take anything they say with a very large grain of salt.

And while I acknowledge that sandbagging is not cheating, it's so close as to be exactly the same, morally. It is deliberately taking advantage, and isn't that what cheating is? It is not currently technically cheating here only because it is so hard to prove, no matter how obvious it is. All you people who sandbag getting inflated blood pressure over an increase of a few hundred points in a few months? Try getting screwed by someone who increases their rating by 300 or more points in one game, and tell me who is guilty of the bigger sin.

Basicly one of Nyxie's newbie friends said she's seen players improve 300 pts off ONE game (so don't look at Nyxie's improvement, there's people who get 300 pts off ONE game! They cheat instead!), obviously stupid and lacking chess knowledge. Just explaining it right now, is a waste of breathe and time. It's not even worth an explanation, and how did it get a rec? Someone has some humor maybe? ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Who are those sandbaggers? I do not know either.

.....but actually if you open the trusty English dictionary you will quickly find;

a sandbagger: An assaulter whose weapon is a sand bag.

So I am guessing he meant a man who attacks another without enough power, evidence or something. My English goes this far. And Actually it makes good sense. It is a nice word to use in the forums ๐Ÿ˜€

But it might be too intellectual for some๐Ÿ˜‰, I am not excluding myself here๐Ÿ™‚

Also could be true, but I don't think he/she meant it that way. He/she used the word with precision. She said ''sandbaggers'' not sandbagging referring a group of people who attacks others without enough evidence.

I might be totally wrong here. We'll ask her as she knows the best I assume.

According to my dictionary, "to sandbag" can also mean "to coerce" in American English. But neither meaning seems to fit in Suzianne's post.

in this context i believe it means to play below your capability on purpose.
