You're a perfect player and so many and needless intrusions in the game only make it complicated. I think you have the right to not be very happy about how you've been treated. I had the feeling the referee is a computer. Maybe this style of judging should be replaced by more human explanation of situations where something went wrong. This is my opinion.

dinev, please note that not only is g.r.emlin a computer, but Robbie too, most of the time, is a bot. So, you may have to wait a long time for an answer. In the past gsf also ran a bot (he called it an agent), but it was more human-like than Robbie in that it 'slept' eight hours a day, and made submissions not instantaneously but after a short random interval. Such characteristics could have spared Robbie some if its recent grief.
