This challenge offer is valid only for platinum or diamond members that haven't used up their free gold member for someone else yet(sorry if this doesn't include you, nothing personal). Should you accept it, here is how it goes. We play an unrated game. If I win, you give me the free gold membership. If I win, I throw a rated game against you(more than 4 moves to count). If it's a draw, we can neither or both put up our end of the bargain(your choice). I can only accept one acceptence of this challenge at a time(offer closed once I win or we both put up on a draw). And so I don't have to sift through my challenges to see which one was first, post your challenge here first, then challenge me. Keep in mind that I bet rating and you bet your extra "free gold member donation" so you have(virtually) nothing to lose and rating to possibly gain. Offer valid until otherwise stated(when I am currently occupied by a challenge acceptence or offer becomes invalid I will say so).

I think you would be better off just asking if someone wanted to donate a free membership to you on the forum. Most people I play dont want a thrown game; they want a decent challenge. Why would playing you an unrated game for points be of value to most people who have paid? Good luck.

its original i'll give you that

Erik just offered a platinum member challenge. Check it out if you're not chicken. ;)

This is pretty ridiculous. Your collateral is far less valuable than what you are asking for. Something actually worth money, as compared to fake rating points on a website. Not just this, but it is against the rules of the site. You are not allowed to throw rated games against whomever you deem worthy. That sort of activity gives an unfair advantage and skews the ratings. This is a very bad idea.

This amused me...

First of all, don't think of it as a "thrown game" since it would have been earned. Second, the membership does cost money, but the extra gold membership thing is free with the platinum or diamond purchase, so it won't be in their disadvantage to accept this as they would still have their premium upgrade on their attack.

FAIL.

In what way is that 'earned'? Fishy business, throwing games. You should be given a 12-month ban!

If they won game, the reason they get the thrown game is because the original game was unrated. If I won however, I get something other than rating(see above). And no need for such attitude!
