Chess Player of the Month August 2010

 Well I pretty much tuned out after awhile because it was too much of a gong show, but I think proknight disregarded not only CHESS_ASSASSINS' vote, but all the votes he deemed a result of CHESS_ASSASSINS' campaigning.

Wow! 20 votes? I missed that! I must not have been drunk But LisaV was a brilliant choice! She gave us comedy, spunk, and it was very naughty to vote for her I personally didn't know MikeDoyle, but I hadn't even heard of Atudor until that "clueless" kid, proKnight98 spent the time and energy creating a thread to award you "Player of the Month" in July! How grateful and adult-like you've acted since! Hysterical!

hmm.... commercials paid by special interest groups not endorsed by the candidate.  Definitely an issue that is ripe for debate....  Don't know about its implication in this given instance, but I only became aware of this forum from it being mentioned in one of my groups.... Rule violation?  Sounds like an odd rule though.  What qualifies as campaigning vs voter registration?  How is it monitored?  Are references to the work they have done campaigning?  In this forum?  In group notes?  Seems like a difficult thing to define let alone regulate, but if you could provide the post # which explains everything perhaps I can gain some insight..... thanks

Well I could, but I would have to go back and dig through it all and I'm not understanding why I should do that. Are you not able?

One sugggestion for you, artfizz might have all the information you seek formulated in a nice easy-to-read table. He does that sort of thing. TBH though, I kind of doubt he is interested in this thread.

It's not a contest sanctioned by chess.com. It doesn't offer a prize like atudor's contest, so it doesn't warrant much regulation - if any. It's all a lot of nothing, so what can it mean?

lol.... sure you are right.... rules and regs buried within the pages of drivel..... so familiar....  Guess I naively thought US legislators had cornered the world market on such techniques!  Well....  Perhaps my country only perfected it?

i seem to remember your win being overtly fixed from the start as well.  you got 2 votes in the fisrt rounds.  2.  trysts got just as many but was not moved to the second round where you wne t on to get a million votes (after your campaign)  it's awesome that you care so much.  thank you for saving us from ourselves.

how about being human?  dude, you're a gem.

So...it's the popularity contest we are to take seriously and the one that's not labled a popularity contest is the fun one?

how come this irony is so easy for some of [us] to understand?

We're all incredibly jaded people.

and so loving and respectful to one another I might add........

perhaps changing the subject to politics, religion, ethnicity, and abortion will encourage a less divisive conversation.......

That's kind of strange to be "loving" to virtual people

don't forget immigration.  we'd be all smiles

LOL

Don't forget global warming and healthcare

they're the easiest to love. 

Who you callin' virtual?  I am a real live breathing zombywoof!  although one with many virtues, so maybe i am kind of a vitual dude!

well i got burned.  here i thought you weren't gonna talk about the past anymore. 

and dude it's YOU'RE not YOUR!  you+are=you're.

when did i say calling him a kid was wrong?  you said there is nothing about him that desires respect--and i said he's human. 

you're thick.

Yeah but he runs an official popularity contest, and what have you ever done?
