WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5

WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.

WannaBe: ¡Olé! ¡Olé! this is what I see for "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" (game of the day Mar-13-2026) I also know this issue have been around for a while, and it's not that important, in IT term, it is a level 'C', cosmetic fix. But I just wish to report it again. Can CG.com unify this ...

WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).

A shameless plug for User: TheAlchemist to win Best Game Collection, not only for his Game of the Year one (which is outstanding) but also his Informant series plus the endless puns. Let's get out the vote this year. =)

Dec-06-07  Benzol: Didn't realize the "Cassia" awards were on again.

I like to nominate <suenteus po 147> for the Best Games Collections award.

Also like to nominate <RonB52734> for a special award for making the two collections of the collections. If you go to his forum you'll know what I mean.

  WannaBe: <tpstar> Um... You nominated a software for best analyst... Can you nominate someone else?
Dec-06-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <Larsker> Can't nominate a name that's not taken! =)
Dec-06-07  whatthefat: <WannaBe>

Could you please clarify whether you want a user or a specific game collection for nominations in the Best Game Collection category, as I notice people nominating both.

Dec-06-07
Premium Chessgames Member
  WannaBe: <whatthefat> I'm not too picky on that one, I know people have created collection(s) in 2007.

If members feel an individual did a great job, then they can nominate that person, if a specific collection stands out, you can nominate just the collection too.

Best User Profile = User: sharpnova

Best Username = <mateinonenik>

Funniest Kibitzer = <PeerGynt>

hmmm...
