I think I understand why my message in defense of Simon5760 disappeared. Now it's clear. I'll stick to my opinion that Simon5760 will earn more points for the team than The_. I believe the rating does not reflect the players' strength. That's not my problem, but the rating's problem. I think it should have been changed long ago. If I end up facing The_ in any tournament, I'll play.
Unfortunately, I have had experience playing with The_. The guy hid in the bushes in ICQ, even though on HeroesWorld he wrote that he wanted to play. The game was never finished. I can print out the entire ICQ log with insults — after that, I have no desire to play with The_.
Roger is a pirate, not a rabbit. Although the rabbit option is also interesting.
