winning on time....ethical. ..??

Sarcasm not detected.

by you, because you are not smart enough to recognize it in two directions.

You opened this troll account 2 days ago...I bet it won't last a week.

You don't me dude, so stop blowing crap out your butt.

Some are quick to start name calling and accusations it seems ... 

Some are quick to assume that all Americans have white skin and European names, it seems.

Really nothing to say. Today I learned that not both of his parents were Japanese, what words should I have told instead of "No offences meant, thank you for correcting me" in order not to give way for that suff like "No sarcasm detected"? And that umpteenth time of mentioning about trolls - how do you know this one or that one is a "troll" and what do people have at all of trolling - really a need, or really some way of earning money, or what at all do they do it for?

Lets not confuse race with nations , if someone hates Americans this doesnt make them racist as " American " is a nationality and not a race . If the name " Hikaru Nakamura " was given to people not knowing him at all and they were asked to guess his nationality ( from say a list of 20 Nations )  I doubt many would choose American .  Would this make them all racists ?  

The notion of "hate" is one where it would be good not to be faced or to have to do with at all, no matter where, in sport, at work, family, races, nations or anywhere else

You guys kind of got away from my question: Still on the subject of ethics, Houdini Genius, is it ethical for countries to acquire players from other countries to stack teams for the Olympiads?? If it was not clear, here is a theoretical scenario: suppose the United States where to acquire the five top Russian players and these top players would now represent the US (and obviously win the Olympiads), would that be ethical?

What are your thoughts about this?

What??? I'm guessing you read too deep into a previous statement.........

Time is a piece in bullet and blitz. The reason why you got a better position is because you invested too much time. Therefore you need to be able to play quickly with this advantage to make it a worthwhile.  So losing because you neglected time is fair.

If you cry about losing on time then GTFO of fast time controls.

You are correct, Redmoon, but you need to understand that Reb and I have a history, and he is incapable of being logical if I am in the conversation. If I say one thing, he will automatically argue with me.

That is why I did not bother responding. Once Reb joins the conversation, I usuallu just leave. If you want to argue with him you can.

Haha. Redmoon?

In addition to "dawn" Akatsuki can also mean "Red Moon".

I like when Reb gets involved. Starts making sense where none existed.

If you use an increment then it's less likely that either player will time out - it just turns into blitz/bullet at the end 

.

I guess you'll not be able to do anything about something you can't see that you are doing.

sane thing here... delete thread...
