Hey. What did I just say?

Did you have partners in those events?

That's not even 50% of your score. Don't beat yourself up about it because there's no point. Just use it as a learning experience to do even better in the future.

Why blame yourself when there are so many other factors involved? One person is never, and I repeat never, fully responsible for a team's placing.

The survey results are in... *drum roll* aim4me26 has won the right to choose the next Assassinator, winning the tiebreaker 7-5. At this point, the game should be about you guys; whoever's active. Take this game where you want to take it. If you want to try to experiment with past games, then you ma...

In case you all didn't know, the national event supervisor is the one that primarily wrote the rules and has been doing this particular event for a VERY long time. Thus I'd suggest his 'interpretation' or 'harshness' or 'technicality' was exactly what was meant in the rules. Note that although ther...

Oooh yes, I hope you at least get close. It would be great for the competitiveness of PA if there was another team for Penncrest, Rustin, and Stoga to worry about.

The censoring on here is just so butterfly. >.< It makes me feel like I'm four. And I really get a kick out of it when people complain about the "immaturity" of some event names, but their Science Olympiad Student Center blocks out the name of my dog's breed. IDGI What is there not to get...

Two frontrunners, EpicFailOlympian and Aim4me26, have emerged, but it is still too close to call between the two. Thus, a second survey has been created. Vote now for who gets to choose the 101st Assassinator!

Which team would won div. B champ yesterday had 9 graders not come back to their formal school? I think Daniel Wright. What is your answer? I heard top 4 schools yesterday only Solon used 9 graders (rules permit, of course). Is ithat true? We are not going to make this into a debate again. If teams...

Good luck to everyone competing at nats right now! Make us proud!

Wow, that's very impressive. Do castling and en passant work too or is it just all the normal moves? And then for pawn promotion, does it automatically become a queen or do the players actually get a choice? Either way, that's really cool.
