Okay. As for voting, I will take a different approach. Most people just say who they nominate and that's it, but I like suspense, so I will do it this way: I will go through the people who I will NOT vote for, one by one (I might to multiple people per post, though), and then after I am done, you will find out by process of elimination who I voted for.

the suspense is killing so many of us.  i bet ivandh is paralyzed in anticipation.

I would like to nominate a young man, a 7th grader.

His handle is "1plu1is4"

Why?

He is probably the first young man to play a blindfold chess on this site.

On August 14th he posted his topic.

Quote:

"Blindfold Chess."

"Does anyone wanna play a game of blindfold chess?"

                        - - - - - - - - - - -

It caught my eye and I responded and he accepted. I didn't know at the time how old he was, but I knew how old I was. This was going to be a first for me also.

We worked out the method to use and we played a 19 move game. If you check out the game then you would see how we did it. Here is the link

I didn't know his age until in the middle of the game he said, "after all I am just a kid."  Then I checked his profile.

Game ended today August 23rd.

If you look at the post and you think he deserves the nomination, please come back and vote for him.

                       "1plus1is4"

                                Bye for now

No. She didn't. Xenia Onatopp won. I had to sit with LisaV for three weeks while she cried, and was close to suicide! Luckily I ate all her pills that she brought over. Those were some sad times...for her. I was high, so I barely remember itCry

You weren't there.  Xenia Onatopp won in my name.  I didn't win.

Xenia's gone.  Now it's Trinity.  Trysts nominated me as Trinity, not Xenia.

Awww.  Selling my weapons for smack!  I'm so...so...  Forgive me for breaking down like this.  I'm so embarrassed.  It's just, I...


I saw it in a movie, and it's not fair that life doesn't imitate movies. We won't sell all your guns, silly. You'll have to have some for the revolutionSmile
