Back in the day, we'd occasionally get a player like Real Estafa where we didn't know if he was cheating, or if he was simply the greatest thing since sliced bread. Over time, it discouraged members who knew they couldn't win and when that player came in, everybody left. It created a lot of needless dissension. And so, we'd ban them, not because they were cheating because we couldn't prove it, but because they were ruining the game for XI members. The thinking was that it's our servers and our members paying for them and we would not tolerate someone who was damaging the experience for our own. In effect, they were too good for us. And so with apologies, we locked them out. For whatever reason, we don't do that anymore. But I think that should be reconsidered. Our first responsibility should always be to our members and providing them with an enjoyable experience, and this guy's been the cause of discord in the clan for far too long. Why are we putting up with that? I don't think that just telling members to get better, to quit their bitching and suddenly become world class players so that they can compete with guys like Estafa, respects our membership. We're a world-class clan for sure but if a guest on our servers - for whatever reason - is ruining game play for our own members, that situation should not be ignored. It should be dealt with.

Yup. I heard that.

Ditto (Good catch on both)

Just throwing this out. I see Toes was in there. I think he'd make a great admin if he's interested.

I operate Harry's Masturbatorium and Chinese Whorehouse in beautiful downtown Lizard Lick, NC. Here's some of the help...

Appreciate that Chile!

Thanks. Checked it out and the VA is right. I don't qualify based on my retirement income. But why should that matter? Where does the federal government get off punishing veterans for having some success in life by denying them health care other vets receive? ALL veterans should get VA health care, period. Nothing else should factor into it. I think I will write my federal lawmakers and suggest that a means test for VA health care is BS, not that it will do any good. Thanks for listening!

Retired last fall and of course have a Medicare advantage plan but I have a condition, medication for which is exceptionally costly and therefore not fully covered. So I thought I'd sign up for VA health care at age 70, see their doctors only for this condition, and get the meds through them at much reduced cost. But VA has turned me down because I earn too much in retirement income. Because I managed to get out of Vietnam without getting shot, I can't get VA health care? What about that promise that in return for your service, your country will take care of you? I've never used any of my veterans benefits. I even declined a tax exemption for veterans on our first house because I didn't want other taxpayers to subsidize my taxes. I was paid for my service. But I'm disappointed, to say the least. Sorry, just felt like venting here because lots of you guys are veterans (and yes, I admit I'm an idiot for not knowing about an income level for VA health care.)

Nice workl!

Uh, we don't cotton to no nice guys here. But you can take your chances...

As I watched the video, the first time the screen spun Grinch immediately messaged "like that dog?" as if he was responsible, and knew that DogYears was spectating him. Easy to do with the mouse when someone's spectating you.

Good news Dean!!
