_______________________________________________________

Yes, it seems like I might need to change the name to Chess.com Member of the Month.

I can see the fine print-

This contest in no way represents the views or opinions of erik, kohai, chess.com or its affiliates. It is not implied that the chess.com members of the month are in fact the best or most deserving members of their respective months of winning, nor anything besides the sentiment that they are generally considered by a self-selected sample of chess.com members to be a bunch of hoopy froods who, for the most part, though not necessarily requisite whereof, know where their towels are. Addendum: pdela must come in #2.

I think in the case of royalbishop's campaign for Natalia Pogonina, proknight could look at the members who voted for her, and remove the votes of members which are in the We Love Natalia Pogonina group. This would be the most fair solution, if we can talk about fairness here.


Got a private message saying that there is some sort of heated discussion going on mentioning my name.

Guys, I don't care about message board elections, especially the weird "player of the month" which has nothing to do with playing chess and, as far as I can see from reading a few posts, is just a pastime for people who have nothing else to do instead of trying to show off their "popularity".

I don't want my name to be mentioned in such context. I didn't apply for participating in this "competition", neither did I persuade anyone to vote for me.

There are real contests like Chess Oscar, ChessPro's and Informant's game of the month, etc. This is what counts in the world of chess.

P.S. Having got 47,000+ followers on Twitter and nearly 8,000 on FaceBook, just imagine what result I could have scored if I cared. So please don't act foolishly and argue over rules of counting votes, or "fairness". Just keep it a "Chess.com message board's person of the month" contest and don't bother yourself with preventing non-existent campaigns and reviewing votes.

Wh¡HAt??? How do you dare????

I finally finished reading all the platforms (a couple pretty weird ones) and financial statements (you didn't really expect to get away with that claimed waffle tax credit, did you artfizz?) and I now feel I'm informed enough to cast my votes.

Please record my votes for TheGrobe and Conquistador.

Oh my! Pdela is not even going to come in second place! That means he's not only a fake Spanish guy, but he's also not from ManchesterLaughing

goldendog

Even Reb missed you.

goldendog

If I was in Pdela's basement, and somehow escaped (with 30 sporks), I would still be in Angola with no plane fareLaughing
