The Exam Committee also voted for J.T. here. The vote isn’t important because J.T. will easily win.

The Exam Committee also changed their avatar and location. The signature remains from prior use.

Who is the avatar? Is it the STNG chick that was Data's love? Also there is another picture of a hanging All Clear. Who knew you could do that? Did anyone notice it before now?

Exam Committee used the hanging Dilbert as their avatar for a brief time last game... The transition to this site came in the middle of the last EC game, and think they moved the Dilbert to their profile picture when they had a new victim for their avatar at some point last game, so as far as I can recall, the hanging All Clear in the profile picture is not new for this game.

If you had to choose between two moves knowing that your opponent would put a random piece on a random square next turn, then it would be a matter of luck. Like I said, the luck in poker is in not knowing what cards are coming out.

A quick search found this story from 1982, which indicates that some state courts rule chess (and backgammon and bridge) as games of skill.

Just posted.

We encourage you to provide photographic evidence of compliance and of wearing black leather. It will considerably speed travel time to the Fellow, Rebel Outpost Actuarial Society designation. Those ladies who comply will find leniency for themselves or for a designated friend.
