WannaBe: I remember when so-and-so (e.g. Troy Aikman) transfers from one school to another (different conference), you sit out a year. If you transfer within conference, it's two years. And none of this 10th year of eligiblity because you were hurt or gone a religion mission to Pluto or ...

WannaBe: So, the Tata Steel blitz were held in India, and players have 6 days to fly to NED for the next (or 2026 first) major event... What is the flight path? Here are some ideas: https://www.flightroutes.com/CCU-AMS

Jan-12-12  valiant: Funniest: <OD>

Constructive: <Frogbert>

Jan-12-12  technical draw: I was informed that I could vote for myself. However I will refrain from doing so since some might consider it classless.

(However if the race gets too close I might forget about my scruples!)

Jan-12-12  Once: <chrisowen> I may have discovered one of your ancestors...

Have you by any chance heard the Small Faces album "Ogden Nut Gone Flake"?

Jan-12-12  TheFocus: <Wannaba> Over at <wordfunph>'s Forum, this was posted:

<nanobrain>< I'm on ignore at wannabe's page. This is electoral fraud. I'm nominated in all categories but can't vote!>

If he truly is on IGNORE, would you please take him off so he can vote, then put him back on Ignore when all voting is done?

Jan-12-12  technical draw: My vote for most constructive: <wordfunph>
Jan-12-12  metrolirot: My vote for most constructive: <wordfunph>
Jan-12-12  TheFocus: What exactly defines <Most Constructive>?

I can't vote until I know.

Jan-12-12  LIFE Master AJ: Funniest kibitzer ... absolutely, hands down is <Once>. (Only person who has literally made me LOL ... dozens of times. Has also gotten under my skin a couple of times ...)

Most constructive ... day in and and day out (FOR YEARS!!!!!) now, <dzechiel>; his POTD posts are thoughtful, unassuming and honest, every beginner or lower-rated player that has taken the time to go through them has benefitted from his posts.

I really have no idea who has the best game collections ... I have not played through enough of them to make an intelligent vote ... and I think that this category as already been decided, anyway.

Jan-12-12  technical draw: <TheFocus> To me it's one who does things that are helpful to other members. For example <wordfunph> lists the chessbookie ratings (among other things) and that is helpful for me.

(It could also be someone who belongs to the carpenters union)
