A chess variant unlike the rest. One that needs great planning to win.

Ah. See? You don't even see what a big lunkheaded fool your displayed behavior is. Erik's been regularly reviving this thread for the past year or two, just to say exactly that.

Again, spoken very finely like Erik Mas.

Again, Erik, better luck next time.

You're really fighting shadows of your own making, and losing at that. Do you genuinely believe that EVERYONE that has commented in this thread, other than you, is Erik?

Yeah, lol, Erik.

Change it (your screen name ICanAndWIllArgue). It's obvious what your intentions with it are.

Unless you want an official ban and lock up. God will delight me if that goes for all your alternative screen names as well.

What, pray tell, are those intentions?

Who taught you to say that?

Who taught you to believe that everyone here is Erik?

What made you actually think that I thought everyone here is Erik?

Did you want to try another advertisement-favored "hidden phrase" tactic on me?

The fact that you've replied to every single comment on this thread (except for one! I apologise for that one! It's not everyone, it's everyone except for one person!) with insinuations that they are sock puppets? Like, what else could that mean?

Also, what does "advertisement favored hidden phrase tactic" even mean? You're just saying words at this point.

If you're reviving this thread for none other than just to have a life's insignificant bicker over why I think everyone is a smurf alt. username, you've already answered your own question.

Heh. As if you didn't already know.

Use your intelligence. I know even you can figure it out.

Then again, the following would imply that you already seem to know

 (except for one! I apologise for that one! It's not everyone, it's everyone except for one person!) 

See, you added that in there, knowing thst you got caught playing another of your mind games; this time by deploying the term "everyone".

Ambiguously, "everyone" could have meant literally everyone, but it could have also meant "generally anyone". You took advantage of this T.V. advertisement "hidden phrase", which presence and intended meaning most people would innocently unconsciously skip over, just to try to substantiate your frail and insubstantiable position.

(If you actually go back to the thread, you will see that there were multiple people of whom I didn't actually respond to. It was more than just one after all.)

I am indeed reviving this thread for no other reason.

No, actually, I can't figure it out. What does it mean? Please spell it out for this obviously lesser intelligent human being.

heh... HEH.....

By the way, I'm still not buying your pasteboard explanation. You've created this chess.com screen name back in 2021. The day this thread was revived is around the same time the photo was randomly posted to a random discord; which, by pure coincidence was the very one image that aroused your curiosity; of all images that were posted to that discord....So much so that you would reverse search it, just to happen to find this thread; despite the fact that your screen name has existed here since 2021; just so that you can take on the exact same nonsense about me consistently reviving this thread to 'accuse everyone' of being another of Erik's smurf. (In fact, I wasn't even the one who revived this thread.Look back at the thread's history. See that? You and the few other screen names before you got it wrong in nearly the same identical way.)

Do you or do you not get it? When you imply that Erik is irrelevant to your screen name identity, Something just doesn't add up.

(This will be my final post for now)

All that aside, Erik, you exhibit the very classic display of a sociopath; which you don't deny being (earlier post).

You calculatively setup this insignificant and petty plot spanding years; creating facebook and reddit posts under various different personas and egos (even attempting to substantiate said-facebook profile by posting about other aspects of life; as if you were really another person than Erik), just to showcase your variant's image; just so that you can brag about such showcases in this thread years later.

That, or you attempt scoring points by manipulating situations to indirectly involve other people to post your image posts for you. I know those mind tricks anywhere.

When I counter-responded to you about how easy it is to use VPN to get away with multiple screen names, you act as if you were an 11-year-old who's oblivious to what VPN is capable of.

As I contend, even if and when you get caught, you "feel no emotions" nor "guilt". That's me quoting you. This is a game to you. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No one would typically care about a variant that even the author doesn't remember how to play; certianly, there wouldn't be a meaningful reason to revive this thread for it. I highly doubt those reddit posts are of genuine interest by others so that they would post it; all for your convenience to come back here, just to bicker nonsense with me for reviving this thread.

I kindly suggested and advised that you post a game to showcase your variant. To this date, you haven't done it. (Why?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At any rate, " @raychel71 ", your behavior is inappropriate. Reviving a non-off-topic thread to bicker about a member suspecting people's fingerpuppets is disruptive to the community; when in fact that conversation was already long over. You know it. Your non-chess.com screen name. "@ICanAndWillArgue", indicates your desire to look for trouble.

If trouble is what you want; trouble is what you will get.

Revive this thread ONE MORE TIME to talk not about the variant but to find some sort of response from me, and that upcoming time, I will bring it to the attention of a moderator; who may or may not have this entire thread be done with; since it serves no more meaningful purpose on chess.com. (Certainly hasn't for years)

Consider yourself warned.

I mean, I've already said multiple times that I am not Erik, just someone with too much free time, so the first 3 paragraphs of your rant are pretty much irrelevant to me.

I have already brought it up to a moderator, @nightlen, earlier in private messages. Your threat means nothing to me, really, since I don't use chess.com very often anyways.

I know I said in my last message to the mod that that would be my last reply to this thread, but consider this one the actual definitive final one because I want you to understand that your own behaviour is also inappropriate for Chess.com forums.

Again, as I said, whether you really are @Ace569er in a sockpuppet or not is not my final point. What is: Your involvement was inappropriate and unnecessary. You see a thread being responded to, which reviving user had absolutely no business relivening a cluttersome 4-year-old petty business that was already dead for said months and years, you should have left it on its way to become dead again. Instead of brushing it off and passing through, you decided to be apart of it. And, you only seem to admit to it only after having been confronted. Who was the first to (willfully) fan the flames? You or me?

Now, if you actually wanted this thread closed like you say you do, then in fact I would agree with you. You can pass that along to @NightLen.

P.s. Now, a major part of me still believes that you are in fact Erik (@Ace569er), although to be completely fair, I do realize at this moment that perhaps I don't have all verified evidence to truly and firmly confirm it. Maybe I really was wrong; it's only right of me to then give you the benefit of the doubt.

If you are Erik, you know exactly what you're doing; and why you would randomly revive a death thread that no one cares to actually do.
