I will not accept friend request that do not specify:

A) where you found my account

and

B) Why you want to friend me

I will also only accept friend request from people I am at least somewhat familiar with.

Please reply within 2/3 days with the asked information if you want me to accept.

I probably still won’t except it though.

When i remove your friend link (usually 6 months or so in) please don’t be angry it clutters my friend list. I try to keep only important contacts and actual friends in my friend list. If you are inactive on the site for 14 days or more and I have had no prior notice, with exceptions of special cases I will assume you have quit the site and unfriend you.

Please don’t invite me to tournaments.

If you are going to invite me to a club, you better prepare a good reason why I should join your club unless I actually know you. Be prepared for me to ask via direct messages for a reason to join the club(s), or maybe just an outright “no”.

I will not join clubs that

Openly show a political stance.
Have more than 500 members.
I have had negative feedback about.
Are unrelated to me.
I have nothing to gain from.
Are used as a method for admins to insult others / show open prejudice.
Do not play any events.

You can promote me to admin / coordinator / SA in your clubs, but don’t expect me to carry the club and keep it active or anything like that. I will participate in events where i can, and will try to be a little active, but don’t expect too much from me. I have better things to do with my time. Also I absolutely despise clubs that promote nearly everyone / everyone to coordinator / admin / SA. Keep in mind that I only want to be promoted when I deserve it.

Please do not promote me “because you are the only person keeping the notes alive” / “because everyone deserves admin” (both have happened to me and I am in neither club anymore precisely because of this).

I will leave any club that

a) Is not active enough

b) Is too active (spam)

c) Advertises

d) Fails to fulfill my criteria for entry

e) Is leeching off me

f) I have had major disputes with individuals (especially those who are higher ranking) in and discipline is not enacted in a way I see fit

g) Has no proper rules and guidelines

h) Under-Disciplines / shows favoritism or discrimination in discipline

i) Has no clear promotion guidelines

Remember I have no reason to have to play for any club or not play for any club. I will play as I wish and if you complain about it I assure you I will most certainly leave your clubs. All and every single one you have authority in.

Do not try to bribe me with positions. I only want positions I deserve.

If I cannot contact you the answer is NO. Doesn’t matter what question it is, the answer is NO. If you are fed up and don’t want to answer my questions, then block me, the answer is NO.

I reserve the right to change and edit the requirements for club, tournament and friend invitations at any time without prior notice.

Be The Change You Wish to See In The World.

By some miracle I am actually good at Chaturaji even though I have barely played it but I have won 2000+s multiple times ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Please respect my privacy and stop asking me questions about my identity - its really uncomfortable for me when you do that, because I don’t want to tell you, and actually probably won’t, and at the same time find it impolite to just say “no”. So I’ll just ghost you, possibly block you too.

⚔ 宝剑锋从磨砺出，梅花香自苦寒来 ❀

If you invite me to a club, please be aware that i leave most clubs within 3 weeks of joining, usually less.

STOP CHALLENGING OR ASKING TO JOIN MY PRIVATE CLUB

(btw this isn’t my highest rated legitimate non-ultrabullet win, but it is the first titled player win that didn’t happen via timeout).
