10 signals that may indicate that you may be a Patzer....

three hours later...the audience has clearly been stunned into prolonged silence by my design.

Not a single objection.

I thank you all.

  Beautiful job D-D!   If we can get 2 more designs, we can have a vote as to the favorite. In either case well done! Criticism if I may....Patzers(for the most part), know the rules  and history of the game. We are Patzers because no matter how much we love the game,and continue  to play it, we dont improve. Again I love  your flag!

OK, never one to back away from hard work I designed two more flags as you requested.

I realize the first one is a clear winner but we have to keep the process democratic.

Here are my two latest designs:

In the first flag we see the inner struggle of the patzer as represented by a confused  bear trying to rip a ball in two while trapped in some rings for some reason.

The patzer is indicated clearly as a disadvantaged primate.

The bear is cursing, we feel his anguish.

There is a majestic duck in full flight for the same reason as the first flag.

I will be the first to admit that I did not put the same amount of effort and thought into the third flag.

I just pulled it from the net in fact.

It probably says more about patzers than both my first attempts but there are no chess references or ducks in it and should therefor be ignored.

The only reason I entered it is that that we have three designs which make things look democratic while there is in reality only two to choose from which makes things easy

I wanted to include flames in one of the flags as flames are quite symbolic of how chess makes a person feel , I also used to set fire to my chess sets as a child so there would also have been a deeper personal message in there

I will end my posts and contributions now to allow the voting process to begin.

The Duck votes for the first flag

If you play Ng5 on move 4, you might be a patzer!

how could you heartless people even say this?  do you not understand the pain the pawn undergoes?

the bunny votes the last flag as the least effort went into it making it the patzer flag.  also they bunny's a sucker for butterscotch ice cream. (assuming that's what it is)

Well , this is turning into a nail biting democratic voting process.

I have counted all  the votes so far and the score is now:

Flag 1 ( that is the first and epic flag)  1 vote

Flag 2                                                 0 votes

Flag 3                                                 1 vote

I am not sure when the democratic cut-off is but will keep the voting updated until then.

Bringing the three flags forward for easy voting

hey! why is my chosen flag displayed the smallest?

It is part of the democratic process, as president you should understand how it works.

Next I will dig up some filth on flag three, what it smoked in high school, the sordid affair it had with a minor flag etc. etc. Eventually flag one will win and we will celebrate free and fair elections.

Unlike communist countries and dictatorships where things manipulate their way into power

works for me.

What the hell is a patzer?

Look at your rating Mike...you are a patzer

         I love all 3 flags however I must vote for number 2. I think that of the  three flags, it displays more elements of the plight of a Patzer. Nicely done, D-D!
