Hello Chess Turtles, I'm not yet sure who accepted all the Team Matches against The Power of Chess, but I'd like to apologize on their behalf. 1) When I send out multiple Open Seeks, I expect that each of them will be accepted by a different group, and I have gotten quite upset at teams that monopolize them and accept all of them at once rather than letting other groups play too. Therefore, I most certainly do not want my group to be guilty of that which I accuse others of. If you choose to accept a Team Match or a Vote Game (that's what I gave you the power for), please only accept one at a time, especially if they're all from the same group. There is no fun in playing the same person in 6 simultaneous games. 2) This is the TURTLE GROUP!!! We play SLOW!!! DO NOT ACCEPT ANY TEAM MATCHES THAT ARE FASTER THAN 5-DAYS/TURN!!!! We are getting slaughtered in our 1st match for this very reason. We all joined this group so that we could play nice relaxing games without worrying about needing to move quickly. It makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER to turn around and require games to be played at a fast pace. Not in this group!!! 3) The Power of Chess is probably the strongest team on this whole site. Accepting any challenge from them should only be done by the best and bravest of souls. We have certianly not demonstrated that we are anywhere near that level yet. We ABSOLUTELY are not ready to play them in 3 matches at the same time. That is just straight up suicide!!! I don't mind if you want to start some new Team Matches or Vote Games, but PLEASE think before you do so. Be reasonable.

Here is something I would like to know. What was the longest chess game ever played and what was the slowest (per move) game ever played. Yes, there is a difference between the two (as any true chess turtle would know). Help me out fellow turtles!

I know that there was a theme with turtles on it instead of this nature background, but I can't find it anymore. Does anyone else know what it's called or who made it so I can find it? Or better yet, does anyone know how to design a theme, and wants to make a really cool Turtle Theme for us (maybe one with pictures of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).
