The new force co captain and I made a match up today, but he had to give me a telling off lol No doubt about it, he likes to have the final say after there is an issue or a misunderstanding. |

Totally go all out and match up all your men! I am very honest to other teams about my tactic's! I like competition. Stick with fast players against fast players if possible in two player matches. Like you do Shirl! I am touching teams who are far away from the number ONE spot and they are responding by doing somethings which I hint about! I see teams who have been here fore years and who have drifted. Becoming alive again That's it alive and kicking |

It is a fact that some Captains well lots are just doing their thing... And then you will say something and spook them out! Obviously no offence intended, but I do think that some Captains are doing things which might appear to be close to the edge of reasoning, but are within the rules! Jimmy |

One day I responded to an open challenge. Since, after a good while, my response had not been answered, I took a look at the team. To my GREAT surprise, I saw that the two people in the open challenge were both paired for 8 team games. There is no problem pairing a player for that many team games usually, but in this instance, the players were non premium and only had two available games. I was disgusted. I messaged the captain and told him how I felt, and that I had never done such a thing myself. I am fairly sure that he did not respond to my message. What I surmised by this was that the captain threw out the same challenge to several teams and then chose the match that suited him best. Certainly, it was choosing matches to his team's advantage. I have not challenged or played this team since that day. Unfortunately, I can't find the message I sent to him in the private messages file because sent messages are only kept for a period of time and then deleted. My message to the captain has been deleted and I can't accurately say when this situation occurred. Surely this captain will know who he is, and I can't say that he has continued this practice because I no longer pay attention to his team. |

Challenges Most of the challenges I receive don't have players named and even though my guys may have green dots I don't like to load them up. I cannot figure out what Shirley is talking about. |

Climbing the Ladder I know I started out talking about team strategy, but why I mentioned you is because you were disgusted by the fact two non premium members were both paired for eight team games (I assume you mean open challenges), but only had two available each. I never even look at that, because I generally don't try to max out my team mates. I want everyone to have four to six games--and only give them more if they beg. I don't think you're going to get up the ladder very far doing this--especially if you accept challenges from teams well below you. I know you don't drop far when losing (one rung?)--you drop because other team victories push you down. It just seems like a scramble and really, I'm more focused on my players learning and personal improvement over ephemeral ladder marks. This was my cocaptain's position also--even though she got us higher than we had ever been before. |

What is Disgusting You propose six or eight matches, and the first two who accept cause the other four to cancel. Who knows how long it will take their team captain to respond? I have had open challenges sit unanswered for weeks--and I've failed to answer some issued me in days. |

Who is at Number One? Lots of team mates means lots of matches can finish in short order--especially if you only take two member matches. I think the reason for stipulating that is to make it easier to climb the ladder. I don't view that as "disgusting," but you had something else in mind and I honestly have no idea what it is. Please don't consider this an attack--you are an excellent team captain (proof is in the pudding) and despite how long I've been doing this I still have a lot to learn. I know I come across as obnoxious and abrasive--character flaws resulting from a different upbringing. You had something in mind when you wrote that and I still do not understand what it is. |

Open Challenges I think it is fair to say the lady in the woods with the small chess team seems to know very well what she is doing, seeing as "Redeemer" spends so much time on the top twenty rungs. In review the Mountain Men have played Redeemer three times, games that all finished a year ago. We lost the first match, drew the second, but emerged victorious the third. Overall--even. I started searching this on your list but after four pages was still in recent months, and realized I need to search Mountain Man history instead. Our seven years of game results fit on ten screens or less. The cancelled game list only extends back to about August, and I remember distinctly you rejected one of my challenges for being rude, obnoxious, abrasive, and insulting. I'm not proud, just stating facts. You didn't say it wasn't fair, as I recall, so I count that a big plus. |
