Oct-13-06  semislav: <Scarecrow> Yup, i can't believe how well i did. I'll probaly just coast the rest of the way.
Oct-13-06  technical draw: Hey, somethings wrong here. How can I be dead last? (easy, I had all my hopes on 5 draws). They say a great gambler is either first or last, I'm not first but I am last! (actually I made up that saying). Lucky for me it's not REAL money. Or is it?

Oct-13-06  NakoSonorense: Hahaha, you losers!
Oct-14-06  technical draw: Hey <Nako>, What are you laughing about, Mr. 268? I'm last cause I thought the idea was to LOSE all your money. Now I know better.
Oct-14-06  NakoSonorense: How dare you! I have 491 chezzbux. More rezpekt pleaze!
Oct-15-06  technical draw: I'd rather be dead last where all can see me and be in awe, than to be somewhere in the middle where no one can see me.
Oct-15-06  NakoSonorense: Right, right, buddy. Whatever you need to tell yourself to make you feel better. :)
Oct-15-06  technical draw: <Nako> It didn't work. I don't feel any better.

  Chessgames Bookie: User: semislav has been banned from the ChessBookie game for suspicion of cheating. He may appeal this allegation if he likes (contact information will appear on his screen when he tries to enter the game).
Oct-20-06  statisticsman: <Chessgames Bookie> Cheating on an "entertainment only" event??? What the heck is wrong with people...??
Oct-21-06  NateDawg: <statisticsman> I guess this just shows that some people will do anything to win. Sometimes they get caught, sometimes they don't. Luckily for us (the honest users) he was caught. Let this be a lesson to all you potential cheaters out there! ײַ ײַ ײַ ײַ
Oct-21-06  statisticsman: <NateDawg> Yes this is true, and we all gain a spot by default. I am curious what semi_slav did and how he got cought, but I am sure Chessgames.com won't tell us as to prevent further cheating. Good Luck <NateDawg> and watch your back because I'm right behind you.....
