well currently I'm considering if partecipate to cct-4.
I'm willing but I think golem is not ready for this.
But if I will I think there will be room for more than a little confusion ;-)

I not sure that is the right thing to do.
Actually Golem play only on Fics and if you exclude the cc-t4  I have no plan
to move to ICC.
You are the first to use the account "Golem" in ICC so its your right to
stay with it. Its a little bit confusing but not wrong.
I think a lot of engine using the name ending with X have their name
used by other ... this case is not too much different.

Yes I know the movie.
The golem myth is a old jewish legend.
there are several version.
the most famous book about golem is by Meyrink.
the legend say that a jewish priest (Rabbi Lowe)
was able to build up, with magical art, from unanimate
matter, a servant that, a usual in this kind of legends,
loose the control and the rabbi had to remove life from him.
I chiced this name because my engine try very hard to "rebel",
and i like to see a programmer similar to a magician ;-)

good look for the tournament :-)
