@Bish said@Bish,
There is a lot of less than stellar history with Breaking Bad challenges I know.
However I will say here that as a new clan leader, my transactions and conversations with Michael and Breaking Bad this year have been positive and enjoyable.
I considered Michael my friend.
As he doesn't seem to have too many of those in this forum these days, I thought it was appropri ...[text shortened]... o stand up.
People do change as life circumstances change.
That's been my experience anyway.
After having been in Michael's Clan for 4 years, I can say this in all honesty and no regret.
Michael can be a really nice guy at least least seem to be one until he doesn't need you anymore. Then he has you replaced once he has gotten what he wants. Don't let the the nice smooth talking guy fool you.
He was suppose to be my friend too, and I helped him considerably with his Clan whether he wants to admit it or not, I didn't like some of the Strategy he was using and told him so. He told me he had a replacement all lined up for me if I were to leave. Let's make it clear I left of my own accord because I didn't like the strategy being used. Perhaps that is why he claims less clans are playing him??? They may have caught on to the FACT they were being used.
Michael needs some friends as he seems to use people then when done with them doesn't want anymore to do with them. He can be his own worst enemy at the end of the day, and that is just my opinion of course. I had been told by different people that this what he does but didn't listen to them, that was my MISTAKE!!!!

@lstcyr said@Istcyr,
This is a complete falsehood. I tried several years ago to set up a match with your clan and you turned down several change attempts. You finally said that you knew better than I did what matches were fair. I did not agree and have never played your clan again.
I know what you mean there has to be a little give and take in every challenge, but it should work out so both sides have a chance of winning each game in that Challenge.
Everyone can't be on their game every move which can last for days at a time, and you forget what your plan was then have to change the plan which is never good. As we all know, one bad move can lose the game for any of us.

@Very-Rusty saidAs you gave false reasons why you left my club (verifiable by the last message you left in that club singing its praises and how it had helped improve your chess) I have no trust in the reasons you give for leaving Michael's clan.

You don't know the facts in my leaving Michael's Clan, I really don't care about your silly remarks or opinions. I did not lie about leaving your Club if you want to go back there. I am still ashamed of being involved in everyone thumbing down divers posts and was just as guilty as the rest of you in that one. diver even said what was going on at the time, he knows.
Now that you want to bring it up again what was going on in Michael's clan was far worst than everyone thumbing down someone's posts!!! For now I will keep it to myself, Apparently you claim to already know as you have a spy in Breaking Bad so you claimed. So you know my reason was indeed a very good one.

@Very-Rusty saidYes, yes, repeat the lie, verify why I have no trust in anything you post.

Look if you really know what the reason was, then spell it out for all to see, and I will tell you if that was the correct one or NOT!!!
When it comes to lies, you would be the Expert on that one!
You are still the new guy after 11 years who THINKS HE KNOWS IT ALL!!!!

@Very-Rusty saidI already have done. You gave a childish ultimatum and then left in a huff. The same reason you leave all your clans.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidNo It was not a childish ultimatumn at all in either case, I only left 2 clans I was in for any period of time the others I tried out found they just were not for me, and they weren't interested in winning just playing. Now you are going back 20 years, keep in mind played for Metallica for 13 years back for 1 year now. playes with BB for 4 years. First 2 years I tried out different clans, PLEASE try getting your FACTS correct!!!
I already have done. You gave a childish ultimatum and then left in a huff. The same reason you leave all your clans.
When you can't get a long with another member in the Clan one of you have to go. Michael's case was whole diffferent story, dont' try to make them look to be the same. You mis-represent what actually happened all the time.
Sorry if you don't like the FACT I LIKE TO WIN!!! 😛

@Very-Rusty saidThen why are you so bad at it?

Not that impressive to be honest. winning tournaments with people rated similar or lower to yourself.

Also higher rated but hell, you wouldn't notice that. You do the same thing yourself so what are you even talking about, or do you just like to blow a lot of hot air?
