What good think can I think of you >(despite of I have never written any negative comment of Crafty in this Forum)? > Please re-read what I wrote. I think most anyone here would recognize the sarcasm, because if you had been following various discussions, Omid, Vincent, others always do this "he is afraid to come as he will get killed." I've said many times, I am not afraid to come, I can't afford the time to come. So I thought I would make the point that Vincent doesn't get off that easily, since when I don't go to a WCCC, I am afraid of losing, but when he doesn't play in a CCT which requires no travel or expense, it is reasonable. I don't care who plays or doesn't play. I play when I can. And I don't when I can't, and whether I win or lose or I think I will win or lose has _nothing_ to do with my decision... > >> >> >>> >>>Perhaps, you are fullful of free time, but I must have a fulltime job in >>>Venezuela to get a good salary. >> >>Damn, that never occurred to me.

I >cannot do that in Venezuela for the known reasons. Sorry, I really wasn't addressing that to you. Again, several have suggested I don't go to ECCA events because I don't think I can win. I was just making a sarcastic response with the intent to show that there _are_ other reasons besides "fear" why someone doesn't participate... > >>Yet this event was on a weekend, required no travel, no expense, etc. >> >>So when I can't come it is because I don't think I can win.

So, be more >careful to the person with you have your street fight. Sorry, but you have to read carefully here. I was not responding _directly_ to you, although you could certainly take it that way, but it wasn't intended. Remember that this is a message board where _many_ read. My response was really meant to be directed toward those that continue to repeat the idiocy that I wouldn't attend because I would get killed. I think CCT6 shows that I certainly have a chance to win any event I play in, while I can also lose every game also. Nothing is a certainty, regardless of what Vincent claims... > > > >>> >>>The matter: The declaration that Crafty can crush Hydra is a nonsense.

I didn't say anything about being attacked, I hope. You mentioned the declaration, I pointed out I didn't make it, and didn't particularly believe it either... >I only said: "The declaration that Crafty can crush Hydra is a >nonsense. could only conclude that after a long match with clear facts.

Not that I recall, I believe I did every CCT myself, and I have _always_ run automated in them with no problems. There were problems at the 1997 WMCCC event in Paris, but I don't remember what Jason encountered. I do know he had problems in the blitz event, but I really didn't care... > >> >> >>> >>>I have seen all the time how Diepeveen and you, Hyatt, keep a continuous >>>battle.
