Rose, I signed up for the Gothic World Championship tournament long before most others did, in July, but when too few respondents paid their entrance fees, the creator of the tournament postponed the start date without notifying me. When I tried to make my first moves on the announced start day, the site had no event running by that name. Later, I found out that refunds were given to other early respondents, except not to me. The creator told me via e-mail that I would get a refund by mail. I e-mailed my address to him, and he acknowledged receipt of same. No check has arrived. Promises, yes; check, no. No check.
