I PMed you about 15 hours ago, and I did not receive anything back.

Chess Tournament (Let's Start!)
More than half of the games haven't even been finished yet. I'm still waiting on my guy. Would anyone like an extension? I'm not sure of what to do here.

The Birth of Tip.It
Lightning places a 5,000gp bounty on Sir, and Robinhood2 adds on 10,000gp! That was real money, back then.

Hanukkah Blog!
...are you kidding me? Judaism is a pretty small religion. Not even half of one percent in the entire world, I believe.

Just read the explanation of the Swiss System in the link in the main post.

How do you "try your hardest" at school?
You're very grown up and mature, I think you should leave us kiddies be.

I'm using a neato chess-pairing program that they use in all the top USCF events. 5 rounds.

How do you "try your hardest" at school?
You're right about that one, I was referring more to jobs like business where personality can also play a big role. Some jobs like a chirugeon may require 10+ years of work experience in the field and possibly a doctorate. But I was talking about the time immediately after you graduate. Yeah, it would seem that the answer to most college and income-related questions is "it depends".

How do you "try your hardest" at school?
Uhm...what? Words of ignorance (as well as 'doctorates earn more'). In todays world a doctorate isn't even necessary, it will just take you 3 more years (or even more) to graduate and people with a master's degree will earn more by then. But that one was ridiculous though. There are some occasions where you need a Doctorate, though. I don't want some guy with his Masters performing my laser eye surgery. My point being that some jobs in society require extensive training. Still, things like that piss me off. You shouldn't be trying to help people make life-altering decisions when you have information like that.
- Does this sound right

what do people dream of?
Every once in a while I'll have a continuation of a recurring dream. I can't think of anything when I try, but when it happens, I wake up and realize "oh, that dream started when I was 6". Then, I promptly forget. My subconscious is so weird.

Winner posts that they won. If that's all, we're done. If it's disputed, then we take care of that.

edge of the universe?
To me, trying to answer these questions right now is like solving a 500-piece puzzle with 7 pieces.

Good job in completely screwing up your life. You will be stuck with blue-collar jobs your whole life, and with the rate of unemployment, especially in blue-collar jobs, your future likely could be screwed. Plus. as an adult, going back to get your HS and college degree is extremely difficult. I feel bad for any family you may have in the future. Viktor, what makes you think that having a blue collar job will screw up his life? Because he's not doing the best job he can. Working at a casino won't screw up his life, but he'll be doing very poorly - and definately not what he's capable of. Go back to school man. My father never went to college, and he still pulls half a million a year. What am I going to do? I'm going to stay in college as long as possible, and get my Doctorate. Obvious, yeah? Sweeping generalizations are bad.

Wii...Not original?
Is this another one of those companies that makes a vague patent, then just kind of hides it until someone makes alot of money with a similar product?

I'll be running the tournament, we're just using yahoo to play the games. I don't really know enough about the yahoo system to feel comfortable with letting it match people, if it can even do that.
