My profile background was pink for a long time. Does it work the other way? Can I get a title based off of that?
Is this close enough?
It's the best I can do.

I think that's only good enough for an arena title handed out by our favorite alien abductee
I will have to hone and refine the pinkness to get it just right, then, and earn accolades from the aliens that do the abducting!
I also want to ramble about how pink is actually not just a tinted red but a tinted magenta! Variations have some red added in them, but red won't give you pink. It gives you light red. Also! Red isn't a subtractive primary color, but magenta is. You can't mix anything with red to get magenta, but you can mix a bit of yellow with magenta to get red. You have been lied to about primary colors. Cyan, magenta, and yellow are it. Look at a color printer cartridge.
OP can't spell lose correct.

You resigned in this game dude....why are you whining when you do it yourself?

for what it's worth, he never said he wasn't a sissy.
Why not? They ain't gonna kill anybody, unless there's some psycho around making it look that way. Life of a psycho.
For the most part, it is bad form to resign when the opponent has a mating scenario. In that sense, it's bad form to resign just because you are down pieces. It's built into the game that there's an ending. To just leave is to say the game isn't good.

Sometimes your playing for pride. Let the timer run out is a good tactic in that position.
And I suppose you're a spite checker ?
That's just kids telling you to move quicker. Just ignore them.
Instead of yellow, titled players' post background should be pink.
