Come see me cheat....Live....if you're smart enough

Sort:
cheater_1

You all know that I like to push the envelope. You all know the thrill I get from playing cat-and-mouse. Well, if there are any aspiring Sherlock Holmes out there located in the USA, I invite you to try to catch me. I have dusted off the mini-camera, purchased a new wireless hearing aid, and upgraded to Rybka. I will be attempting my 3rd cheating attempt at an official USCF public chess event in the next several weeks. Now, I'm not going to lay it on the line as to where and when, but I'll post 4 or 5 vague clues over the next few days of how to find me. Only the most plucky of sleuths will be able to decipher my whereabouts. And the chances of one of you showing up and causing a scene is quite small, so I'll take my chances. I operate best under pressure.

Clue #1 (the easiest clue of them all): A honey bee flew up to a mule and said: "can you please show me where Hawthorne went to."

I shall not acknowledge ANY questions.

Keep those clues coming, Riddler.

About Me:
I'm a very complex person. Fiercely independent and live life according to the rules that I make up. I'm willing to resort to whatever means necessary (I draw the line at murder, though) to achieve my goals. I'd clobber my grandmother with a 2x4 if that's what I needed to do. I'm 42 and single, seeing no woman can put up with me for more than a few weeks.

 

That may be the most pathetic thing I've ever read.  Not to mention that the second line isn't a sentence.  I take it you cheated in English class, too.


AND I SAID THREE PERIODS IN AN ELIPSIS!  YOU'RE SO CLOSE!

Not to defend the man, but you have to know by now that attacks of this kind are pointless against him (have you ever seen it get "a rise" out of him before?). Plus, Grammer Nazi attacks on the internet are pretty weak in the first place...

I'll be holding up a convenience store and jaywalking somewhere in the central U.S. tomorrow........perhaps some lucky sleuth can decipher my whereabouts....or maybe you actually have a life.

Wow. . . I-I never thought of it that way before.  It's like I've spent my entire life blinded until you came along and freed me from my ignorance. 

 

Thank you, Rael.  Thank you.

So since you're so skilled at internet fights, Frapplo, let's imagine this scenerio unfolds... you respond to Cheater_1 with: 

Frapplo: "That may be the most pathetic thing I've ever read.  Not to mention that the second line isn't a sentence.  I take it you cheated in English class, too. AND I SAID THREE PERIODS IN AN ELIPSIS!  YOU'RE SO CLOSE!"

Which is pretty clever, what with calling him on the number of dots in an ellipsis, a veritable dolorous blow, and then he answers...

Cheater_1: "Wow. . . I-I never thought of it that way before.  It's like I've spent my entire life blinded until you came along and freed me from my ignorance.  

Thank you, Frapplo.  Thank you."

Would you have thought he was clever? I doubt it. Here, howabout I make a speeling error so you can call me out on it? Or we can drop it entirely. I just thought it would be fun to try and guess his clues for kicks. You thought it would do some good to call him on the number of dots in his ellipsis.

I am guessing that Rael is a sockpuppet for cheater_1.

 The "Fiercely independent" part made me laugh.


Rael

You'd think that, but no. I'm up in Canada... and the site admins can see my ip... so, nevermind. I was just sure that someone would accuse me of it though... sigh. That's what you get for defending the "villain" of chess.com.

 

Fine, why don't you all continue posting slander and calling him on his spelling. Sheesh. I thought the only possible courses of action in regards to cheater_1 were a) ignore him, b) post pointless slander or c) play along.

 

And dfitzpatrick... because you're defending Frapplo it means that you're a sockpuppet for him as well?

Some people like to have a little fun while others like to tear them apart.

So who is the "villain" here: the prankster or the slanders?


SkyFrostSalvo
Wouldn't it be more worthwhile to cheat at something that made a profit?

I'm going to be in the library at 1600 Grand Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota tomorrow from 1 PM to 4 PM working on a number theory project for a class.  Perhaps some plucky sleuth can decipher my whereabouts, come find me, and cause a scene.

lol You want us to "catch you at cheating"? So, isn't admitting to it here enough evidence to get you caught?

Also, they can just take away your hearing aid. It is not like you need one to play chess, right? :)

Oh, what a tangled web we weave for at first we learn to deceive

I think the big scene at the chess tourney would pop on the local tv news..... right after the poodle who taught himself how to flush the toilet.

You guys can find him easy, he'll be the one with mum in tow in the station wagon, running the mission impossible computing centre.

"Dang it mom, i'm not giving you any more pop tarts unless you stop calling it 'the little horsie' piece. Yes....yes.....I'll give pop back his hearing aide, will you just wait a sec, please. I'm trying to win internet fame here.... and the $25 place prize."


kolechess
Good luck hope you win.lol have fun at the tourney and make sure no one hears your hearing aid saying stuff that would confuse the ignorant folks.
