I would encourage both of you to shut the f up. This has no place in the forum what so ever. i hope gamerman01 can end this.

I don’t mind much that you trash talk me here in the forum. You are entitled to express your opinion. It’s probably even a good thing to ventilate.

I apologize if it came across as trash talking you. That was not my intention. I only openly expressed my personal opinion of you so people would know what I was saying was in spite of not liking you. I think what you are doing is wrong and I had hoped my advice would help you make the right decision. Apparently for naught.

OK, hold up a second, I’m going in to look at the game with jkeller to get some facts to go on

I will go ahead and play out the game for the integrity of the playoffs if that’s okay. I don’t think forfeiting mid-match or mid-series during a playoff would be an acceptable action in any other competitive field so I apologize for even mentioning it and I also apologize for the delay though as mentioned it was not as long as yours so I think the right thing would be for us just to finish the game. Without any bumps or messages I guess I was just focused on other things and lost track of the time. But I will go ahead and continue now if you agree.

OK, I have now looked at the game thread and this is the situation.
Started on June 20 and went at a torrid pace the whole way, through 7/26, when it was G16. That is nearly a whole round every 2 days.
Then 9/9 trulpen made his R16, though he had waited 45 days. jkeller responded with J16 on 9/25, 16 days later.

I found they have a BM4 game going also, where jkeller did J7 on July 27. Trulpen made UK7 on 9/2.

Looks like jkeller could have called both games, unless ther e was some PM understanding between the two. Why can trulpen call the game after 16 days after keller didn’t call it after 36 days? I’m just asking.

keller said above in my quote that he’d like to play out the game. I think given what I’ve seen here, keller should be able to continue the game if he wants, or forfeit if he wants.

[trulpen]

We did have an understanding through PM. He asked me what was up and I told him that I had started up a new series of chemo therapy sessions (end of July) and was quite under the water. He said it was ok and no stress needed. Anyway, that’s the background.

[regularkid]

@trulpen yes, but was there a communication by the 14-day deadline? If not, then, seems to me, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

@andrewaagamer I didn’t even know about Arnold. Given how he married a woman that sympathized with the British, I argue his betrayal was out of love. Love makes people go crazy and no doubt he wanted to show his woman what he was capable off and he did. He showed it to the entire country!

@soulblighter

Arnold’s Tory wife undoubtedly played a role in his defection to the British (e.g., she put him in contact with her friend British Major Andre). However, the stage was set before this by ingrates in the Army and Continental Congress. Arnold dedicated his health and much of his own wealth to the American cause. He captured Fort Ticonderoga and its many cannons early in the Revolution. The next year in 1776, his brilliant defensive tactics in the Battle of Valcour Island (Lake Champlain) delayed the British attack from Canada on New York State for a year. He also distinguished himself in the Battle of Ridgefield (CN) and the Battle of Saratoga (NY). In the latter, his daring and bravery were probably instrumental in .this major American victory–for which the passive and petty General Horatio Gage took credit. The Continental Congress passed over his promotion because of a quota system, not merit. Rival officers instigated his court martial. The movie “Benedict Arnold: Hero Betrayed” presents an interesting and balanced alternative perspective on Arnold. It is offensive for Trulpen to identify himself with Arnold, because the former’s motives are in a whole different class than those of the latter.

FYI I didn’t identify myself with BA, but Andrew did.

@trulpen

You signed your reply to Andrew about 22 hours ago: “Yours truly, Benedict Arnold.”

Read his post.

EXCELLENT summary of Benedict Arnold! I couldn’t agree more. While I am sure his wife had an influence it was the lack of respect, recognition and appreciation that led him down the road to treason.

@Soulblighter If you really are interested in a great read, that also details some of Benedict Arnold’s exploits, I highly recommend the Kenneth Roberts series… “Arundel”, “Rabble in Arms” and “Oliver Wiswell”. While Benedict Arnold is not a protagonist in the series his exploits are well covered and it is a great mixture of fiction and non-fiction about the Revolutionary War.

Actually I didn’t. I did not call you a Benedict Arnold. I gave you an example of someone who was remembered for a heinous act he did at the end of his career which is what he is remembered for instead of all the good and amazing things he did during his career.

PS - @gamerman01 Sorry to hijack this thread.

[gamerman01]

Not a problem, I can still find game results while being schooled

[jkeller]

@trulpen I think it would be best if we just finish the game normally. We both took extended breaks for different reasons but if we can finish the game normally and we are both willing and able we should do it. That is the whole point of being here right? To play? Silly titles are even less meaningful if not gained by beating your opponents in the game itself, right? I understand your wanting to play in the final and your health condition and I have a lot of empathy. However you are a fantastic player and have many many victories to prove it and no one is going to think and less of you because you don’t play in this particular final so let’s just keep playing this game and be done with it. Please?
