Math: It's over for me loosing challenge games - I do not choose the spanish part anymore - seems like the spanish gives me badluck ......

excuse me, my flying friend.
of course i should have said "i WOULD be above BirdMan" not "i WILL be"

oh well. me thinks that makes up only one place anyway. so nevermind

I think I should try to wait with bringing our match to an end until you have won against BirdMan (in case you can ). Makes the little difference of rank 3 vs. rank 7 for me ! Btw what makes you think I'll win ?

didnt i make it clear that i was talking purely hypothetically ?
anyway, i didnt mean to say that i think you will win. its just the only of my games where im not sure that I will win.

Right, Math. It does matter the order you finish. Just like any ladder match in any competition. I guess you could play this to your advantage if you wanted, but it would be tricky business at the least. Just play and win!

Milamber -- Yes, post here your new challenge matches and your finishing results. Thanks.

[checkMate]

I hate to repeat myself, but everybody seems to be well dare I say it .... CHICKEN. (no offense Birdman)


Ok, then I need a new challenge. These are the
three above me in the ladder. Any takers?

Milamber............Deity........0........1....USA
Taladas.............Deity........0........1....GER
redbull.............Emperor......-........-....NZL

well checkmate we are already playing a SL Challenge i think it goes here to . right quinns?

CheckMate -- Milamber looks like he believes you are already playing a challenge match ... Are you not?

[Mathemagician]

Taladas is pretty inactive. im not sure if you could even delete him from the list...

[checkMate]

Yes actually Milamber is playing me. But the rules say I can only challenge the next three. Perhaps that rule can be bent?

[quinns]

If rules are bent then they might as well not exist at all, IMHO! The only way you can challenge higher than three above you is if the higher rated player challenges down (like I did against Mathemagician)

CheckMate, your match against Milamber counts as a challenge match...

31. Chlg 31 Milamber vs. checkMate; Started Dec-2002 -- In progress.
...
Are you challenging him again? In the above post, you list his name first to challenge. Make sure you post your challenges here from SuperLeague... they don't automatically transfer.

Any player not responding to a direct challenge within two weeks will be dropped from the ladder. For example, CheckMate has challenged three players, Milamber (who he is already playing and so doesn't count as a challenge), Taladas and Redbull. If Taladas and Redbull do not respond to CheckMate's challenge within two weeks from the date of his challenge here on this thread, then they will be dropped from the ladder. Note that a "response" doesn't mean acceptance of the challenge. The challenged player may have a good excuse. They simply must "respond" here on this thread. If the challenged player continually dodges with excuses then they may drop down depending upon the circumstances.

I will post this same information in the "Notes" of the first post in this thread.

I'm afraid I reject. I don't have CtP Access until 2003, and I have 3 SuperLeague challenges already.

I'm fully booked

[checkMate]

Well, I shouldn't keep challenging Milamber I do have a game with him alredy . But just in case anybody is still wondering. I'm looking for a one-one challenge here.
Redbull can't play another, and I think Taladas may be inactive.
