Afraid this one is NOT an April the 1st Joke. User 455937.
Just in time to save me from two losses! I was going to resign these two games in a few moves: Game 5953045 and Game 5942095.
So why is there a rumour that BlitzNewbie was Cludi? Is that just speculation or is there any evidence?
The fair thing to do would be to resign these two games.
You are lost in both of them. That way Blitz gets the grading points
and they can then be passed onto the other players who are
not lost.
You know it's the fair thing to do Fat Lady, look into your heart.
Not 100% sure about the Cludi thing, nice rumour though,
he joined around same time Cludi was banned.
As you are so sure that games are lost why did you not resign earlier?
Why suddenly wish to resign them now the player has been banned?
Depending on how quickly admin cancel the remaining games it is possible that one of the other opponents could find themselves in a position to win by timeout.
If you resign your games then the banned players rating will rise meaning that the others, who may take a timeout win later, will get more points than they should.
Dont resign the games, leave them for admin to "clear up".

I hadn't resigned my games against Blitz Newbie because the queens are still on the board in both games. There's always a chance of a perpetual check when the queens are on.
However in these games it had got to the stage where I could almost see a forced win for Blitz Newbie and it wouldn't be fair to claim a victory in them. However, to avoid other players unfairly gaining my rating points, I may wait a week or so before resigning. I'll make a note in my diary to resign them both on 10th April.
Originally posted by !~TONY~!Yes, I expect GreenPawn looks forward to April Fool's Day with the same anticipation that children look forward to Christmas Day. Can you imagine the state his poor wife is going to be in by the end of today? It's worthy of a Viz cartoon - Geoff Chandler and his Jolly Japes. Every story would end with him getting beaten to a pulp by the angry victims of his pranks.
I am in no way surprise to see greenpawn taking full advantage of this day. I wouldn't be surprised to see him fly to Japan or something so he can do it twice. 😀 (And that's no joke!)
