@piglo? piglo?? Did somebody say piglo???

My boyfriend and myself were in a car accident on Saturday afternoon. We are pretty banged up. Im in the worst shape doctor told me in on bedrest and no gaming for a bit as I also got a concussion and whiplash on top of all the bruising. Its going to be a boring week.

Welcome to the clan.

Thanks everyone, it was a very scary thing that happened. Was pretty shaken up. Im off for the week from.work so I can heal up. Lol i did try to go in on Monday but I only made it 3 hours and I couldn't do anymore. Our neighbour was even kind enough to invite us to thier family's Thanksgiving dinner. And she said if we weren't feeling it they would bring us food. We are lucky to have such wonderful people surrounding us.

Welcome aboard the crazy train..

I have tried everything I can think of and nothing is working. Migraine still for almost a month now. Still sick to my stomach all of the time as well as being bloated, and unable to belch like normal.. Got swelling in my neck,, glands,, and my wind pipe is bigger than normal...etc.. I know something isn't right because I feel strange...hard to explain.. Sitting at ER at the VA currently. Took 5 tubes of blood, urine, and give me saline through IV.

Welcome!!!!

Even in Chess Chess grandmaster Hans Niemann cheated 'more than 100 times,' new report alleges American chess grandmaster Hans Niemann admitted to cheating two times in his career after World No. 1 Magnus Carlsen publicly accused him last week. But an investigation conducted by Chess.com found that Niemann has cheated more than 100 times. An internal report obtained by The Wall Street Journal says Niemann, 19, was banned from the online chess platform for an unidentified period of time after he confessed to receiving illegal assistance in more than 100 online games, including chess matches for prize money, as recently as 2020. Niemann, ranked No. 40 in the world, is in the midst of a meteoric rise. His Elo rating, which measures the strength of a chess player relative to his peers, has increased by 350 points in a span of four years. The Chess.com report, however, concluded there are "unusual patterns in Hans’ path as a player." Although Chess.com doesn't typically track cheating in over-the-board games, referring to in-person chess matches, the online platform said Niemann’s performance at certain events "merit further investigation based on the data.” WHAT WE KNOW: How a cheating scandal has rocked the world of chess DON'T MISS OUT: Sign up for sports news and features sent to your Inbox The cheating scandal sparked last month at the Sinquefield Cup in St. Louis after Niemann defeated Carlsen, the five-time defending world champion, with black pieces, which is a distinct disadvantage in competitive chess. In a unprecedented move, Carlsen abruptly withdrew from the tournament afterwards. Two weeks later, when Carlsen and Niemann met again in competition at a separate online tournament, Carlsen played just one move before resigning in protest. Carlsen directly accused Niemann of cheating on Sept. 26, writing on Twitter: "I believe that Niemann has cheated more—and more recently—than he has publicly admitted." Niemann admitted to cheating on two separate occasions earlier in his career. During an interview with the St. Louis Chess Club, he said his friend used a chess computer, more commonly referred to as an engine, to feed him the best moves in an Chess.com online tournament for prize money when he was 12. Then, when he was 16, Niemann said he cheated in lower-level games to improve his rating, because he wanted to play tougher opponents.

Glad to hear it wasn’t worse. Hope for a speedy recovery

Sorry to hear this. Hope you heal fully and quickly!

Sorry to hear that...Sometimes it takes days to manifest the results of a auto accident so it is much better to take it easy for a good spell...Your bodies to a jolt which will cause a ton of non visible problems...Rest well but move about because stiffness is hidden in there as well Hope you all get well fast

I wanted to let everyone know that the reason I hadn't been on the server, or in here is because I have been really sick to my stomach, 24/7 for over a month. The Dr is telling me that it is from getting Covid this last time - one of the symptoms. I don't understand how or why they are blaming Covid. They haven't even run any test to see what may be causing it. They did do a CT scan of my stomach but told me that nothing was found except a really small hernia. They told me that it shouldn't be causing my constant nausea. Wouldn't you think that they would try to find the cause? I am a vet and go to the VA and they just sent me home. The fn VA sucks really bad in my opinion! I am going to have to go see a real DR to see wtf is going on with me! I also have been experiencing panic/ anxiety issues from the Covid and it took them 5 days to get me medication to help with it. Anyway, I'll stop right here because I am really nauseated sitting here. Hopefully I will be playing again soon. Cyall later! I miss kicking your asses. I forgot to mention that I have had a bad migraine for 12 days so far!

Lord, those symptoms remind me of Lymphoma. Most doctors don't check for it, it does not seem to get discovered until later stage 3 or 4 as it is elusive. The thing that got my attention to it is your mentioning swollen neck, feeling bloated and stomach issues, knowing something isn't right, etc. I know it is strange to recommend this, but consider going to a hematology oncologist, bring all your test results, write down all your symptoms, diet, vitamins and supplements you take, and let the professional look see what the heck is going on with you. https://lymphoma-action.org.uk/symptoms-of-lymphoma Two main types of lymphoma, either one sounds like it might fit with your symptoms, the oncologist would have to sort all that out. See, apparently the lymph nodes, when full of cancer and such, swell up like you describe is your situation. Lymph nodes are everywhere around the body, and if that is what you have then it is only getting worse and worse unless treated with modern medicine. Trying not to freak you out, but I have heard of these exact symptoms before, and that was the outcome. GOOD LUCK

oh wow,,take it easy,,take care of yourself

Thanks Skuz!

Definitely get a new doctor. Good luck and keep fighting!

Sorry to hear this! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Happy Birthday!

Please Welcome NorCal_Jared To Our Clan

Happy Birthday

Glad to hear you are ok. Speedy recovery for you both.

There has been a bit of chat recently in FTAG (COD4) about members using different names in game, they tend to change name between maps. Is this OK? What do they gain by name changing? I've had a quick search around the forums and found this. Quote @E-raser Membership Requirements Need to be registered on the website for 1 month and have 20 posts. Your in-game identity (such as GUID) must not be banned by anti-cheat services such as pbbans.com You must not be in another clan Your game name and forum names must match Have read, understand, and agree to abide by the XI Code of Conduct Need to have and use either Steam, Origin, TS, or Discord Need to be 18 years old When I rejoined I asked to keep my gaming id for this forum for continuity and, well that's my nickname. I don't see any benefits to me changing every other map and wouldn't even think about doing so. Your thoughts please people , especially those that do have several alias and have good reason for doing it Either way you are stuck with the weakest link aka Totty>XI<

It could be worse

I have a Z Tech 32" curved monitor and a few SSDs.

Good to see you board. Welcome to XI Jared.

Wishing you and the bf a speedy recovery.

WOW sorry to hear but glad you are listening to Dr's orders.

Maybe go to a injury lawyer to have two years to do so. I hope you are feeling better soon.

welcome bud

welcome to the family

Welcome to the nut house.

thank you Skuz ( just a few rotations away from little people maps )

Bout time!

Welcome Jared

Welcome to the family of idiots ..

Nice! What did you go with for hard drive and monitor?

Edit : Thanks all, I'm excited to be a part of the crew and look forward to bringing the suffering from pain on the servers! Welcome to XI Jared, you're now an idiot !

Awesome!! Welcome to XI NorCal!! Glad to see you made it in! Always fun having battles in the game with you. Great player!!

Thanks all, I'm excited to be a part of the crew and look forward to bringing the pain on the servers!

I can change my name to PigLo at any point, but if I use PigLo>XI< that is an issue

Checking specs & comparability is half the fun of building your own rig. Scope out everything before you press the order button. Cya in game Spongey!

Players can change their in-game names, and like Yaccster mentioned as long as it's within the rules. They can do so for whatever reason, and admins should not call them out if they choose to play under an alias. However, clan members cannot wear clan tags with any other name other than the one they joined XI with. They do not have privileges with the alias, such as not getting re-directed if the server is full.

Thank You Skuz!

get some pro biotics in you asap. Yes see a different doctor. Have you tried to elimineate certain foods to see if that helps?
