I'd say even the tournament is "small potatoes". Bonne Chance's health is most important. Tournament comes way behind that. And if he likes keeping the score he should do so as he is widely appreciated for it. If he doesn't enjoy that role, we should respect his decision. I trust he knows what's best for him.

There is a point where you can no longer tolerate bad behavior. I'm sick of the petty comments that have completely disrupted this tournament The public forum is not the place for a majority of the comments we have been subjected to. I hoped people would step up and behave as adults, but clearly that is not going to happen. I'm done. I have reached the point where I literally dread seeing a new comment in this forum, so it's time to be finished. I respectfully ask that everyone be frozen and "let it go". The tournament is finished, because people are unable to keep their comments on point and civil. To those of you who have been playing for years with no issue, I thank you. Those of you who are deliberately disruptive, you know who you are, and I sincerely hope you take the opportunity to consider HOW your written words are powerful, and may/may not be taken as you intended. I will continue games in progress. But I am truly saddened these behaviors have led to this end.

Please be assured that we deal with players directly for inappropriate posts. But it's worth mentioning here that we strictly forbid posts about the dice whether it's the randomness of the dice or stating that players are manipulating dice results. The programming of the dice was done with great care to avoid such problems. So unless someone has definitive proof there is no reason to discuss it as it was, is and always will be unproductive.

Three points of interest before you speak.

1. you may be wrong,

2. it probably does not matter.

3. As you travel, smile more

If you disagree with any of these , repeat and concentrate on 3.

A heartfelt thanks to all who organised and ran NT
