None of this matters at all because Obama rigs all the dice for Obamacare.

I strongly suspect Cuisineworks is Obama's paid agent...

As ZE is a website I fail to see what Ink and paper has to do with anything.

ok, I was starting this thread just because I was playing with Cuisineworks in one tournament in the same group. the complete group had finished all there games except for Cuisineworks, who had not finished even one game. So I looked him up and saw that he was playing mostly tournaments and that he was holding up all tournaments in which he was participating. For me that is not fair to the others.

Ok, I can wait as I am a paid member and I can play with others, but maybe these slow tournament players prevent that someone who is not paid member can play more games. If you like to play really slow, so do search people that want to play in the same way as you. do one move every 2 weeks and enjoy this nice game.

the idea about this thread was that everybody should think about what is fair with the others. It can happen to anybody,that you do not have time for a while, so just do not start new games and especially do not participate in tournaments, where you can hold up hundreds of players. It is all about fairness and nothing else.

If I would be in the position that I could not play and I would be the only one or one of a real few players that would hold up 100 or more players I would simply withdraw from that tournament, to be fair to the others, but some players just do think in themselves and do hope that they will have one day a won tournament in their records.

this thread is not meant to insult other players, it should be a discussion about what is fair and what is not

We don't know - anything could've happened so it is unfair to accuse him of deliberately holding up tournaments. Perhaps he suffered an illness or bereavement so we should be tolerant of slower play. Personally I played him several times and never noticed him playing slowly so I think something happened just before he stopped playing for good.

As it seems so important to some people to speed up tournaments, like they haven't got enough other games to be getting on with, why don't you pitch to ZE what steelerhead mentioned in his post?

It's what you said. You can't ask for intelligent debate after coming out with that drivel!
