Weekly Arena #4

[dense elbow]

Im sad

I worked my ass off

[fair kettle]

They cancel the tournament?

[dense elbow]

And they cancled the tournament

for too many cheaters while updating the format

its fine

[fair kettle]

LESO GO

[dense elbow]

ill wait another week

DAZAI SHUT UP!

Well, i don't think it'll take a short time to reformat it

😠 😡

there better me a rescheduele of the tourney to be today or saturday

40 minutes of time waste

[fair kettle]

[dense elbow]

But fine

[shadow spruce]

wit so are there no more rewards

[merry stump]

How is your worked ass now, compared with your previously lazy ass?

[ivory nest]

well ye she is conducting it, but ive seen the timezone switching thing mess up time for stuff, and cause its gifted by the chess.com(staff members r the channel for that prolly yes) so they probably do it in their comfortable timezone

[shadow spruce]

bruh

[ivory nest]

😂 💯

[merry stump]

You're correct.
When Brazil had daylight time saving it messed things a little too.
But it was terminated on the last government.

[ivory nest]

ah well done by them
switching timezones is soo stupid 😂

[merry stump]

The government told most of the electricity usage today is for refrigeration and not for lamps, so the daylight saving saved nothing.

(consider Brazil is hot... In USA probably it would be for heating, not refrigeration)

Fine. End of the ranting and the offtopic.

People getting in this thread, just read this. 👆🏼

[ivory nest]

i missed the last rounds of the pcl match due to this 🥹 😂

maybe i should rewatch the recording on yt 🤔 😂

1.65x 👀

[subtle onyx]

GM Grim... You talk a lot and it's typical of those who feel guilty about something. Today I made two fair play reports: against you and against the 2nd place.

[dense elbow]

No accusations here, please.

[last tartan]

bro there was no announcement tf

no #5??

why

[subtle onyx]

well is not an accusation, is a ... fact!

[dense elbow]

Basically, that's what is accusation

[last tartan]

"i saw this man killing my dad"
thats still a accusation even tho yk its a fact

[subtle onyx]

Basically rarely I'm wrong.

[dense elbow]

I honestly have no idea if both were cheating or not (didn't check and won't check as both me and you aren't in the fair play team) but saying this will disencourage people from talking

[subtle onyx]

No, it is not. He speaks in a certain way. In 20 years of online chess, I've seen how cheaters express themselves and how they try to argue.

[last tartan]

can someone link the arena please

[subtle onyx]

https://www.chess.com/tournament/live/arena/discord-weekly-tourney-2571159

[last tartan]

#2 and #4 are already banned lol

[dense elbow]

cushuh what for?

I just delieverd a suitcase full of soemthing to someone down like 7 houses from me

[fair kettle]

Wait wut that fast?

[dense elbow]

And I cant talk a lot because of a fact you probably heard on tiktok "phycologist"

[last tartan]

there is no term like that

psychologist is what they call it

[dense elbow]

1. I've admitted to accidentally sandbagging on rapid so i have nothing to be guilty about i already confessed it here, 2 it doesnt matter how many years of online chess you've played, also how would you cheat on a 3|0 game

[subtle onyx]

"Accidentally"

[dense elbow]

You were right about the 2nd place

[dense elbow]

also yes thats the term im looking for thank you very much

[dense elbow]

I just wanted to play as white i didn't realise that it counted 😭

I have a much better opening thingymabob as white than as black

[last tartan]

i mean one can cheat in 1|0 , i am not accusing u , so one can easily cheat in 3|0

[dense elbow]

But how?

[fair kettle]

Bro if chess bots are evolving so it's chess cheating

[dense elbow]

yea but it usally takes about 4-8 seconds per move for a cheater

[last tartan]

extensions

[dense elbow]

you mean like web extensions?

[last tartan]

(for bad cheaters yeah)

[last tartan]

yes

[fair kettle]

Obvi

[dense elbow]

Hm alright

2 and 4th are banned for fair play

[grim vault]

thats the reason why they doing major update

[dense elbow]

I did very well in the tournament

[junior falcon]

There are countless ways of cheating

Some of which is not quite difficult for chess.com to stop

[dense elbow]

Except, no one cares. If you believe in your abilities to read people then just report and wait for the fair play team to do their thing. Flexing that here "basically rarely I'm wrong", getting someone to be conscious of the way they speak and generalising something where each human being is different at, seriously, try better

They seem to be happy with getting first place (rightly so) and with the tournament getting canceled don't add to their annoyances lol

[nocturne heath]

My chess.com crashed

it just does not let me play any games

They crashed it

[merry stump]

🚨 NO CHEATING ACCUSATIONS ARE ALLOWED IN THE SERVER 🚫
✋🏼 PEOPLE, STOP RIGHT NOW 👮🏼

[tall thunder]

[ivory nest]

[grim vault]

[nocturne heath]

Ok.

I was in a concert so I missed it 😦

[grim vault]

all good bongcloud arena soon

[stone bear]

how were there only 57 players

what happened to everyone

[ivory nest]

ye i got 2k, then 1.5k, after that i was done 😂
i am a 1k who plays like 500 in blitz, i aint doing that

really disappointed that it wasnt rating based tis time'

[inland tusk]

i think it was rating based

there just was way less people playing

so you got more mismatches

[ivory nest]

my first match was 1k vs 2k
i dont think thats rating based 😂

[inland tusk]

no 1ks available to match you with

only like 60 players so...

[ivory nest]

it was at the start 😂
and 2k is too far away even if there were no 1ks

[grim elbow]

It's fun win or lose for me

[stone bear]

i got 3 2ks and one NM
