ha...ha....you have a little too much faith in 100per, and not enough faith in rich.

i gave poland a lot of respect by putting people i've never heard of as advancing, because of the weakness of the sections, and yet you slight 2 of the top US players? i think it's time you set aside nationalism and embraced cold, unflinching reason, aaru. rich and i will see u in the next round, if u can make it there.

(and before anyone throws down the gauntlet, here's an emoticon: to show that I speak out of love, not anger.)

It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then.

Arczi doesn't hare with other nicks here or on bk i suppose, pro_gram plays quite a lot here recently, but i believe he has one more nick on bk (he couldn't play with it because he had some other tournament in progress) and zum would be me. Wicherek is a good player, i will ask him why he's hesitating that long if i meet him

Yes, I would also like to know who arczi is, as i am playing him. hehe.

The problem with the system for someone in my position particular is that i will loose to almost any tie with the section's overall win count. The S-B rule nearly insures this. I not complaining, rather just pointing it out for those who aren't aware of it. I won one of Snut's tours that way before. Players need to keep the S-B rule in mind.

Oh, and my son will be happy to see Alex picked him to win his section. He has been away from the game for a bit, but it is sure to encourage him some.

I am going to throw down the gauntlet with Karl and say that section 15 is mine

Yea, Brew will probably kill me, but making outlandish statements is fun. And considering that Wicherek hasn't moved yet, and on my count only has about a day left before he begins to forfeit, we may not even see the first of him.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is

It's on :P

OK, here goes:

*Elejpidi, What name is dein playing under in your group?
*Spifster, who the hell are you?
*richard, what name is your son going by?
*And since brain dropped out at the last minute, I'm guessing he's one of those unrated polish players none of us have ever heard from. Beware unrated Poles!!!

*dein is moredhel_gorath.
*spifster is chicphoenix.
*rich won't tell, but i have reason to suspect it is 5Stars.
*the only unrated poles i haven't identified are xyzoo and lutalek. yoss is a player i know, and he's not brain. i've been told lutalek is not brain; perhaps xyzoo?

Lets see Homebrew I will try to answer some of your ?s 5stars is Richs son, He plays that nick at IYT. No Idea who Spifster is but plays here alot, I believe Dein is Moredhel Gorath (maybe im wrong) As for Brain (He seems to be someone that uses his own name or Brain in the last 5 years) Too proud to use something else to play in this tourney. Heres a ? Im wondering if Danoschek made it into this tourney under a different name? and is Tragedy here too? Now for a very early list of people who are on to the next round with some great (Dark Horses) if you were a betting man or woman.

Richard III
Utratos
Jayhawklov and Samwise (1st Dark Horse)
Nosovosky
Karl W and Arne Blom (2nd Dark Horse)
zum and M Gorath (Dein)
S3
Anna Girl
Thad
Dweebo
Alan P
Tenuki and Mark Mammel (3rd Dark Horse)
Gaylen and HonoR
Tarcellius ,Billmo, and Lutalek (he moves his ratings up)
Homebrew and Mickeyes (hes been on his game of late)
Aaru
Wrhino and Yoss
Turnberry and Jk47

you must've missed my comment, jay. you're right: dein is playing under moredhel. it's my suspicion that brain might be xyzoo--he's the only pole i can't identify. and spifster is playing under the name "chicphoenix." zum is elejpidi, and yoss is bonhart. that's about all the alts i know.

tenuki, anne girl, alan p...i know nothing about these players, but they all have great BK ratings.

Since i've already told that Dein is playing (I thought it was known before that) I won't tell anything about our polsih secret weapon xyzoo ;P and Alan P is quite well known on bk and kurnik, he used to play here as well.
