Why is my Favourite Boards list in alphabetical order with one glaring exception? "Flame Pit" does not come before "Debate Club" alphabetically, but it is in my favourite boards list that way.
Czuch Chuckers: Nope. In this instance it means sick in the head. But the result of his pathology is cheating behaviour, at least as far as I'm concerned.
Czuch Chuckers: So if you invited 20 people to an 11-hour match and 19 of them timed out, would you continue to issue that sort of invitation or would you be dissatisfied with that kind of "victory"?
We're talking about someone who is consistent is using this method. This is not a normal person but someone with a pathology of some sort. How can you say it's not cheating?
Czuch Chuckers: Are you saying you'd be happy to accept this guy's invitation and have him wait until you went to bed or work and then suck your points though a timeout?
Pythagoras: It surley isnt cheating, and should not upset anyone anymore than playing a 21 day game to the full 21 days every move is completely acceptable....
We could have associated to every players profile, some rankings given by other players in such attributes like kindness, sportmanship, quicknes, and so on...
playBunny: Gotcha. I didn't look at it all. I got caught by taking a game under 12 hours per move once an timed out on it, getting a loss. Im more careful on the games I take now.

Rose: No, it's unfortunate but there are many innocents caught by his scam... and many more yet to be caught. Have a look at his Battleboats, for instance. Far too many different names against the low number of moves matches.
emmett: Here is a thought. If he won so many on time outs would that indicate all the other ID's he won from are made up pawns he setup in order to win?

Since a legal thing is a legal thing and i am as pedantic as it goes, i call it fair!
Clever way of winning, yet i would not put him on my friends or approve his behaviour.....
I could call him a moron but i won't, since the moderators silently spy everything from above
He thinks he does something clever and he admires himself believeing that he is a superior brain that is fooling everyone, but the only thing he does is to spend his time on stupid things while he isn't realising that his time is coming to an end. The day that he will realise this, would be too late.....
On the other hand he may be an 80 years old man, that did everything in his life and wants to try something new!

Pythagoras: We discussed him on the backgammon board, too (Top 9 messages from the link). Some of his opponents don't realise the implications of the 11-hour-zero-bonus clock that he uses. Others think he's using that clock because he wants a fast game but discover that he stalls until they cannot stay at their computer. Then he moves and their clock runs out while they're asleep or at work. Strictly speaking it's legal but I consider him a cheat.

I've seen the statistics of robtoo for Battleboats and he has 87 wins and 2 loses.
That can't be real since battleboats is a game of mainly luck! But i've discovered the reason. From his 87 wins the 79 were wins by time out of the opponent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So i wonder what kind of voodoo makes to his opponents and they run out of time?
Just kidding about the voodoo-part but i still wonder......
