Headquartered on Brussles Street, the Sycamore Chess Club was founded in 1926 and had a rich history of turning beginning players of little knowledge into strategical powerhouses of regional notability. Of course, such an reputable establishment couldn't go forever without some controversy. In March 1985, one of its top and most well-beloved players, Lorenzo McReynolds, was found out to be a high-ranking member of a crime syndicate, and he was expelled with extreme prejudice. This event created a bit of a rift in the club - some felt this was unnecessary and overzealous, while most felt it was the least they could do.
Now, in mid-2014, the disagreement is about to come to a head. It had always been known that some unknown subset of the club's 22 masters were McReynolds supporters, but it was always seen as a polite disagreement that existed only as rumblings. So when a note was found attached to the door of the Masters' Word, the exclusive room where the masters convened, it was a great surprise to all of them:
Surely you know that McReynolds will be released from prison less than a year from now? You may want to consider allowing him back into the club, or there will be some...dire consequences.
A secret ballot conclusively determined that this was not going to happen, and the matter was considered closed. This didn't hold up for long, however - Craig Grady, one of the most anti-McReynolds masters, was found dead in his house by police the next day. Immediately a meeting was convened in the Masters' Word - at the end of the next two weeks, not one more McReynolds supporter would remain with the club.

Nope. Muahaha! That is what makes the large normals so fun. Occasionally mountainous (only vanilla townies and scum) are run in the Large Normal Queue. You can find Open setups in the Open Queue.
I have been informed that some of the players signed up for this game haven't logged on in over a month. I'm going to start on replacing them immediately.
EDIT: Salamence20 replaces DukeC, and TheAdrienC replaces lifessavers.
This should be required reading for...everyone for anything, really.

Also, what is Not_Mafia doing? This is some of the worst play I’ve ever seen.
I will SEARCH for games with you and N_M to help you policy him.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
