    the long wait is almost over?
    the protesters are jumping up and down waving arms in sheer panic, well boys you cheated exploited the loop holes justice should be brutal, never mind the time frame as one of the socks says over and over, justice must be done to put integrity back to chess.

    the protest was ended in december? but the same clans are cheating again, seriously guys GET A LIFE. any other club in the world any game any sport, all of you would have been booted years ago,

    perhaps we will finally get an answer soon i won't hold my breath though going by past drag outs,

    Yeah, now that Russ has finished fiddling around with that super important IOS Beta thingamagig (whatever that is in its normal life) for the 2 or 3 non subscribers who might use it, he can now get on to the not so important task of fixing the clan system that is used by hundreds, if not thousands of subscribing players and has been dragging on for 16 months or so.

    It's nice to have your priorities straight

    What I aim to do (and have started doing) is provide an 'alternative universe' clan results table for 2016/2017 on a new test page. I'm just doing an ELO based view right now, but will add others once I'm back up to speed.

    edit : Once one proposed new rating system is accepted by a majority, it will be deployed.

    I'm glad you're including the 2016 table. The blatant collusion that Carrobie and his cohorts carried out to wreck the enjoyment of others and manipulate results was atrocious.

    Look forward to seeing who the new winner was and where on the ladder the mighty Tournaments on Demand clan finished after adjusment

    I'm starting a new thread to post some comments. This thread has grown into a monster, and I want to get back some focus.

    Alternate universe means "what if". It does not sound like the Easy Riders title will be changed.

    It does sound like changes are coming which is great. But I don't see in the table of yearly winners the Easy Riders being removed. I think they are staying there.

    The "what if" in an alternate universe does not sound like it changes the winner of 2016. So the alternative wont mean anything.

    Only the changes going forward will matter.

    I think that you will find that the collusion of last year will be addressed and the teams involved disqualified.

    It this doesn't occur paying subscribers like myself will have a valid case for demanding full refund of our paid subscription. This could cost the site thousands of dollars.

    I'm sure this issue will be addressed and the sleazy riders along with the three other colluding clans will be disqualified.

    We can all then move along happily

    What if strategic ultimatum had not been suspended your clan would have been champions in 2015
    What if the same player had actually tried to win against the easy riders in 2016 might have been a fair result
    What if some of the protesters actually posted an idea instead of pretending they really won something
    What if mctayto could actually make a post without mentioning Metallica
    What if Russ won the lottery and retired closed the site what would the basement boys do then

    I agree there is a lot of what ifs but the easy riders did not win the 2016:in any universe

    That money easily recovered by new people to the site and a much better site without all of you. I think Russ would make far more money in the long run.
