I have a question.

I'm planning on doing a Chess world champions survivor but i don't know if here would be the correct place to make it. If it were me i would do it here because Chess had historically a very politically charged past, especially during the cold war.
But i'll wait to see what Fab thinks about it and of course i would probably do the survivor a few weeks from now Wink

Good heavens ! I'm outrageously jealous !!! Wink
How could I forget this brilliant idea !!!

Do it HERE, Edu, that's an order ! Wink
More seriously, like great composers survivor (which unfortunately didn't meet his success), I agree on including this survivor in this child board as, of course, Chess world championships were highly political matters (and remain, when you see how Russia is back with its shenanigans and old tricks and Iliumdzhinov tries to control everything for his own intesrest).

I have 2 requests, though, Edu:

1- I won't be able to have an Internet access between, probably, the 17th and the 24th of April. I would be very, very grateful if you make sure this survivor will end before the 17th or start after the 24th, because I would really be FOND of this one and wouldn't want to miss any round !

2- After 1993, please take both FIDE and PCA champions, even if FIDE ones were minor ones. But it will make things more interesting and the list a bit longer.

Great idea, again !

I might do a "most wanted Iraqi playing cards" Survivor

By "playing cards", you mean cards you play with or.... ?

Historical, political, economic, social, geographical,... interest ?

Thanks, i figured you would be interested Smiley

It was my plan to include Khalifman, Ponomariov and Kasimdzhanov because while it's true that the championships they won were notable for the absence of a lot of top players (including probably the top player in the world at the time) and that FIDE isn't exactly a "clean" organization (Campomanes and Ilyumzhinov, nuff' said Tongue) they were official world champions so it would be a disappointment if i don't include them (though i don't think they will get very far in this survivor Grin)

I'm not going to include some of the players that were considered amongst the best of the world before the Official championships (like Morphy, Andressen, Staunton or La Bourdonnais). This survivor will start with Steinitz. Of course if people want them i could include them Tongue

By my count, this will be a relatively short survivor with only 19 names. So, to accommodate Fab, I'm probably going to start it this weekend Wink

I'm worried about the turnout though, I can count myself and Fab (Maybe Hans too) but i don't know if anyone else would be interested

Do you remember those playing cards the military came out with that had high-ranking members of Saddam's regime on them?  If not, google "most wanted Iraqi playing cards" and you'll see what I mean.  It would basically be a "Saddam's inner-circle survivor".

Thinking of doing a city survivor; 150 cities worldwide, 5 groups of 30 either randomly assorted or by region, top 6 in each group going into a final 30.

After I finish this I am going to do an anti-Nazi Resistance survivor (this would include figures in the von Stauffenberg plot, church leaders, etc).

Well, the thread is less crowded, eh ?

Tout passe en ce bas monde (virtuel)...

Anyway, I inted to do, some day, a Sweden Prime ministers survivor. Not too "harsh" politically and maybe a way to gain some other regular voters...

Gosh, I've already done a Chinese Politburo list. Wink
But no problem, that wouldn't be the same survivor.

I'd greatly appreciate if you wait for one week, because I'll be VERY interested to vote in it.

Since Fab doesn't seem to be intending to do it anymore, and it doesn't seem to have been done, I'll do a Survivor survivor next Grin

The Chief Justice Survivor has been completed, with John Marshall as the Survivor.

I'd like to start a US Secretaries of State Survivor.

I would like to reserve my Constitutional Amendments Survivor idea for three months rather than 50 days, as I still am planning to do it (and I technically never started it), but I want to do my survivor survivor first (and I am waiting to start that until a couple of the current interesting ones end).

OMG.
Well, tb75, all this work for nothing ?
That's a pity, it was well managed until the George Clinton/Bush Sr tie. And even with your weird tie-breaking, voters were still here.
Or did you want so strongly a Bush Sr victory ?
Survivors are very harsh, sometimes... Wink But it's a game !

I don't really understand why would someone go trough all the trouble of starting a survivor if he can't stand his favorites being ousted, it seems pointless.

Even though i complained about Libertas in the past i must say that despite some dodgy delays and votes he at least accepted when one of his favorites was ousted and never deleted the thread because for instance Coolidge was ousted in the republican nominees survivor. Plus when someone complained he usually addressed you explaining what happened, tb75 just decided to ignore everyone and call people spammers. Pretty pathetic actually, especially considering he is 17 and should be a bit more mature about all this instead of having a hissy fit.

And yes, it's just a game, most of us will move on and keep trying to make interesting survivors and enjoying our time here Smiley

And i haven't forgoten about the chess champions survivor, i still have a few days to start it and hopefully next week at the most i'll make it Wink
