don, i'm playing with nezh on wednesday night (gmt+2 at 11pm, that's CET 10pm). could you wait for us plz?

oh, i missed that. i didn't say anything then.

of course, i meant after your result.

both me and Uitje didn't see the pairings, i messaged him today, got a reply so we will try to schedule the game as soon as possible, please bear with us

As has been said, we played last round. If you wanted to manually alter the pairings to:

-bobjoejim vs. pawntificator
-eeejay vs hoyasaxa

And drop unbluffable from the tourney (since this is his third straight missed round), that would be okay with me, and probably make the most sense for a manual pairing alteration, but I'm not sure if hoya would be okay with you taking his bye away.

ty sir

for the record, it's close enough to a bye

Id be pissed about this if it werent so true

ok

no, no pairing altering. hoyasaxa is bye 1-0 and probable bobjoejim and eejay too for this round. In next pairing will be either elimination of player(s) or try to pair them, so that this "3 BYE" doesnt happen again.

Round 3: Nezh - Nikitheone 1/2 - 1/2 (2-2)

Huh? Why would you be pissed?

I'm lost.

oh haha i thought you meant me

:P

So could you clarify on whether Bob and I should be setting up a time to play?

still open for registration ? if so, im all in

no, both of you wins K-0
We are waiting just one game (Youknowwho-Uitje)

LOL at me and my 1150 FICS blitz rating being half a point off the lead, and paired with niki (currently boasting a 2033 blitz rating). IN ROUND FOUR!!!

Swiss System plus no-show opponent = hilarity imo

won BobJoeJim 4-0

Confirmed, but I did manage to make the fourth game interesting. I'll probably start a new thread about this game later, since I'm pretty proud of playing a competitive game against such a strong opponent, but for now here's the link to ficsgames: http://ficsgames.com/cgi-bin/show.cg...96;action=show

Firebird says I actually had the advantage as late as move 53, although I had 16 seconds left by then and nikitheone had 3:36 so it's no shocker that I wasn't able to convert the position. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

YouKnowWho 4 - 0 DonCasti

Okay.....I´ve had two consecutive no shows from Palinca.....How many no shows equal a forfeit win?

lol, I guess I should have checked this thread before sending messages on 2+2 and fics.
please be a little clearer, I did show, 20 minutes late yesterday and 20 minutes lates again today. Yesterday I was involved in a HU grudge match and did not see the time fly, and today there was a bomb alert in the metro on my way over. Ok, late twice, 20 minutes. As I said, it's usually not my style. Sorry this is a huge deal for you. I don't mind forfeiting the round if it makes you happy.

Okay, so let me think if I understand you correctly.....I´m supposed to wait for half an hour every time we schedule a game (and for precison sake u werent 20 minutes late yesterday, but 24 according to FICS login, today I dont know but I waited till 23.20). Then I read a PM here today you ,,have to install the software" (ehhhh....WHAT software if you logged in yesterday) and today there also is a bomb alert. So yes, I think Ive waited enough for you to show.
