What a disappointment!  Finally made it to a second round, and 6 of my 8 games are done because of opponents' timing out.

RLacroix has gone on vacation! His game is the last game in the round. It is entirely lost and he should have resigned ages ago. But no, instead he goes on vacation and holds the entire tournament up. What a selfish, sad little man. Maybe it is the only way in his life he can feel important by obstructing others.

Oh dear! I've just realised who the TD is. The slowest player in the world acsmith. He is holding up every tournament he is involved in. I have asked him to speed up but he has skin thicker than a rhinocerus. We might be waiting a while.

I think slow players join them just to be a pain in the arse. The TD should be able to remove them.

This is another tournament where all of the players who will advance from the first round have been decided, but the trailing games drag on for weeks.  Seems like putting QUICK in the tournament names makes it take longer.

On a positive note, its moving along more rapidly than one other tournament I am playing in, and that one has FAST in the title.

What is the problem with this rook_battery guy? Did he read the game title. I would like to emphasise the word "quick"? Why join a quick tournament and then go on vacation unless you are an entirely selfish and thoughtless idiot?
