: Well, lets try to find a solution for this... : Rich_YPR, you know some of this TDs business doesn't really belong here, but that's fine, the rest are entitled to know. : You accuse me of killing this ladder as a HeadTD. : I never had major problems with TDs in this ladder. Most of the young guys willing to help in the tournament were given a chance to. But you must understand as a HeadTD I have guidelines to follow and can't accept every application including applications from people who joined that day and have no experience in this ladder or . Not to mention that if some cheats would know I'd be just accepting applications from whoever applies, they'd try to wreck parts of this . I didn't attack you, but I found disrespectul that you refused to accept the fact that you have to have some ychess experience, and went to someone else to add you to the Team. I didn't attack you, and even supported you on your tournament. I'd never usually play in a 30/0 tournament. : You wish to change this to mainly long games, above 30/0 to untimed. I am not sure if that's what the players want, but still, having that option of long tournaments on occasion is always good. : You also accuse me of driving people from this ladder. I am quite tough with cheaters and try my best to get them removed. Still, not a single one has been removed because of me, without proof. I know of one case in which a cases player was kicked, in which he was innocent, and I had no part in that. : Some players don't like to compete with me, and few left because of it combined with other issues. Not a single TD has just refused to host or wanted to leave because of my HeadTD methods, in the past. : Again, I never, and still don't, refuse to work with you. Some of your ideas are good and I respect that, but I won't approve of focusing most of our efforts on longer games only (30/0 and above) and I won't add 10 to 20 TDs within the next couple of weeks, like you wanted me to. : : On another hand, westallgaeuer (and I know you're not alone on this) find me unfair in competition (top ranks). I have never cheated, but occasionally have used the rules to their max to keep my spot. Asking you to play me a 15/0 best of 3 is not something nearly impossible, and Rich_YPR wouldn't even find it to be an ideal timer for any game, he'd support longer games, which are fine too. : About us... I have never actually accused you of making me lag, I just pointed out that it was a coincidence that I lagged 2 or 3 times while playing you. And I don't play only weak players, like you said. : If you look again, you will find games against Mikhail_Sher, subhas1971, tsengw when I see him, teen_star_sensation (I play him almost everyday when he comes around) and saratea2 as well. These aren't particularly weak players, as I believe you have occasionally lost to them. Not to mention that I played cuoo yesterday for cases. : You're right, sometimes I may be a bit "aggressive" when competing, so I will be dropping #1 now, and I will trust you to do a better job with it. I am sure you will too. : : The people complain about me for my player's status, and cheaters complain that I am an evil Op, which I am not even an Op, but I haven't seen people complaining about me as HeadTD very often at all. : I can't be that bad of a person overall as I was elected by the ladder's members to Op this ladder some 9 months ago, but due to some personal problems, I wasn't able to start the program at 100% at the time, so I decided not to start wrongly either. This was a time I did not have much time to : devote to being an Op. : I can understand that I may not be the nicest #1, and so I will drop it, as I have often times before. : Also, I intend to devote more time to Tournaments now, and with westallgaeuer at #1, more players may be happier. : The reason I last took the spot was because west and luxchamp were away, and I did not want #1 spot to be held by someone who'd lose it to most people around him/her. : I think westallgaeuer and luxchamp are very good candidates to hold this place, and wish you luck. And hope to see some others competing up there with them as well :-) : Anyway, I might have left some stuff out... : Feel free to contact me anytime so we can talk more about whatever you got suggestions or comments on :-) : : Mercury_Atlantis
