Subject: Chess Arsenal: Crew urgently sought

Message:
Chess Arsenal, one of GK's most irreverent teams is looking to hire additional crew.
Because of losses due to especially rough summer storms, we have openings for:

1 supervising officer, preferably mad, for manning the crow's nest
1 sanitation executive (for cleaning the heads)
1 ship's mathematician, preferably illiterate
1 smartmouth, we can always use that
1 Captain's parrot (ability to squawk "pieces of eight" ad nauseum essential)

All applicants must be able to:

1. Play chess (all ratings considered)
2. Make some sort of amusing contribution to the cameraderie of the team
3. Have a mind of their own
4. Possess a lack of the usual stiff carboard personality common to chess players

Come and have a look at us at: -> gameknot.com

Please apply to the Captain.

Stinky has a point

Message:
I also possess a mind of my own. So I fear, on the strength of this, that I must withdraw my application, as I can not possibly follow your rules. If I attempt to do so, I may end up with a "stiff cardboard personality" (as opposed to a soggy cardboard personality) and that would never do.

So.......

Message:
...........one non-computing malfunction and one withdrawn application....... this is going WAY better than I thought. Still, thanks for your contributions guys!

I fear we need some new blood in the team (well, who else but the uninitiated, the flighty, the unknowing, the insane and the unwise would join our team anyway, I hear you retort).
