Hello Dear Witty_Aliens,
I wanted to finalize that we have rules to make the club better place and have a better experience while socializing with the members. Please make sure to read and follow the rules.
Language
We never allow bad, slur and 18+ topics in notes, forums and club chat. (common sense)
Self promotion (advertising) in notes, forums and club chat is not allowed. (If you are being told not to and keep spamming you can get kicked from the club)
If you are asking “why?” because we have many members in the club, if every single one of them made promotion it would be a chaos and other members can get disturbed from the notifications so please do not make it.
Martian & Alien Gambit Arenas
The most important one of the rules is that not to destroy peoples fun while playing an arena and this may be the arena type where we encounter the most problems. You are obligated to sacrifice the knight in Alien and Martian Gambit arenas.
Sacrifice notation for Martian Gambit is Ne6, for Alien Gambit is Nxf7
(If you don’t know how to play them, you can learn it from the YouTube videos by clicking the linked words)
To answer the questions we frequently hear:
Why position is not starting after the sacrifice?
*We want to give the players the feeling of sacrifice in Martian & Alien Gambit so they can feel like an alien and we want the position start from white.
What happens if I do not sacrifice?
*If you do not sacrifice in those arenas after being told, you can get kicked or banned from the club.
Big Prize Arenas
It is common sense that not to cheat
Do not stream-snipe participants more than 2 times, as it ruins the fun of the person while playing an arena causing to tilt. (If you continue to do it after being told, you can get kicked from the club)
Do not insult your opponents in the arena or Twitch chat. Chess is a gentlemans game, we need to keep the integrity always even if we lose or win.
Witty is texting every single person who get a prize so if they are not in the stream to talk, they will still be able to claim the prize.
Thank you for taking your time to read. Hoping to have more fun with the community.
(P.S. If you have any question to ask, you can direct message me)
