punks on ISC
I used to play on ISC all the time but haven't played there much the past few months.  I logged on to play some games this evening and forgot how much bullshit you have to wade through to try to find an honest game.  My first game was against BOREDBOARD who claims to have a 1600 NSA rating.  I open with NONORaL and they disconnect.  I sent them a message thanking them for a one move game and for being a class-act.  Then I end up playing mudhut which is clearly some kid with an anagrammer and a 1900 rating.  He's up most of the game, but doesn't block the lane I open playing OR(E) with 4 in the bag.  When I bingo out with FLANkER he disconnects.  The adjudication results in no rating change since he was up, though I would have won after the points off his rack, but whatever...  In my final game, my opponent made one play and then aborted.  Then BOREDBOARD came back to tell me they left because I was using an anagrammer at 131.78.344.01.  Then he adds me to his  no-play list.  Pinging that ip address reveals that it's invalid.  What the fuck is wrong with people?  All I wanted was a fair, friendly game of scrabble before bed.  With my luck Quackle will now accuse me of cheating and then crash.
