It damn near brings a tear to my eye to see results indicating that "Twinkle Toes" Rapunzel has been roughing up "Rickets" Rubenowicz. You see, some time ago, I took on Ruben as a student, when he was getting batted around the site by common riff raff players. By watching my numerous games and taking some meaningful advice, Ruben improved to be a decent player. He began to come out of his shell, in a social sort of way. Well, today I noticed that Ruben took a series of beatings from that damn "Twinkle Toes" and I don't like it one bit.
Just give me the word, devoted Sadi fan, Rubenowicz and I shall throttle "Twinkle Toes" for the sickening abuse that he hath bestowed upon you. Let this serve as a warning, Gravon members. Do not beat on Sadi fans, particularly my most devout examples or you will be defeated in gruesome fashion! Who am I kidding; you're going to get walloped against me, regardless. |

Thanks for your concerns but there is no need for panic. Of course I will take my own revanche. |

6 glorious wins in a row! Unfortunately after that all of gravon was shivering, pretending they were not there or running away from the dark planet into a dark hole probably.
Rapunzel was the first to flee after my appearance on gravon.
Markus was the bravest and went for a second game. He fought bravely and was winning until I tricked his general and marshall with a scout to my left corner while my miner was moonwalking to his flag. When I got the bomb he was paralyzed by my unprecedented trick for 3 minutes. Then the last thing he did today was pressing the give up button and running to the Malefiz zone! |

How come Rapunzel is not on the ranking of 2015? Surely he has played enough matches. |

It is likely that after Rubenowicz' gruesome beating of Rapunzel, "Twinkle Toes" put his fleet-footed talents to work and ran for shelter, begging and pleading to Gravon management, to be omitted from the rankings in fear of becoming a target of Rubenowicz fans.
The word on the street, is that Markus IV has frozen himself in time and space, inside the Malefiz Zone, frightened straight out of his mind in the wrath of Ruben. My, oh my, how things have turned around in a mere day. Ruben, if you are lying about this recent turn around and dominance, I will delegate "Hammer Horse" Hielco to belly hump you and I gotta tell you; if this whopper of a man pins you down, you will groping for hapless mercy. |

Jens, according to:
http://www.gravon.de/gravon/stratego/player20150.jsp?nick=rapunzel
,
rapunzel needs to play 35 games against adequate opponents (1474 Kleier or higher as of this posting) to be listed. |

Ah I see, I had the same problem with Malefiz last year... |

They need to get rid of that nonsense. A player like Rapunzel, who plays anybody and everybody, should not be penalized for this. This damn rule has us elite players only playing one another if we want to be ranked. |

Agreed, the rule doesn't make any sense. |

Disagree, the rule make sense
Playing someone your level 1 out of 3 is not a big deal |

Fully agreed, Sohal.
Sadi and Jens, try to get a ranking first by playing some games. Rapunzel will get back to the ranking eventually. If you were playing him Sadi, then the problem was probably already solved. |

I am not in any rush to get ranked. It does not matter so much. Besides, you keep accusing me of not playing enough ranked games, when there were only about 4 players in the top 20 who played as many as I did. Your criticism hasn't any merit, Rabid Rabbi Rubenowicz. |
