What is up with people who say "First!" or "First page!" in the Daily Puzzle as if they won the lottery or something? I don't get it.

I don't know, I guess they have too much time on their hands.

You know you didn't need two deleted comment posts. You could have just edited the first one.

What's weird is that on this site, this only happens in the Daily Puzzle, nowhere else. What's going on?

You'll see "Easy" a lot in the TT.

And I have. Having it automatically track after I post, and make me go through all that junk if I forget to unrack is very obnoxious.

Shows how many wankers there are on here.

The DP threads since 9/10 that the first reply was "first" or something along those lines:

Some of them said how important being the first poster is.  Pathetic, indeed.

Here are the ones on the second page, which brings us back to 8/21:

Also note that in later posts, some people were angry that they weren't first.

The third page, which dates back to 8/2:

I don't know what the first poster said here:

http://www.chess.com/forum/view/daily-puzzles/8162011---mate-in-2

In this one, the "first" was hidden in white text:

http://www.chess.com/forum/view/daily-puzzles/8122011---mate-in-6

http://www.chess.com/forum/view/daily-puzzles/8102011---m-mcnabb---a-kulashko-auckland-2000

http://www.chess.com/forum/view/daily-puzzles/882011---mate-in-2

In here, the first poster didn't say "first", but on Post 3, someone tries to take measures against first posters:

http://www.chess.com/forum/view/daily-puzzles/862011---going-to-the-edge-and-back

In this one, the first poster was against someone posting first.  Kudos to them:
