<< < 1 2 3 4 > >> 1. August 2004, 23:36:26 Naturally if we only play Gothic chess I will lose so the idea was to contest a selection of chess variants. 1. August 2004, 21:48:04 Subject: Caissus I was thinking along the lines of one (unscheduled) day total for the games to reduce the possibility of outside help, with games continually coming, finish one the next starts, within that variant. I can accept that my preferance for the quicker variants would give me an advantage but then again my variants of choice, if restricted to those on BrainKing, could be considered more easily accessable for straight chess players. 1. August 2004, 21:19:12 Subject: GothicInventor I have received requests from various sources to indulge you in a game of Gothic chess for stakes. Normally I only bet in fields in which I feel familiar with the terrain. As I have never played Gothic chess, in fact I dont even know the rules, it has also been suggested that we play a combination of chess variant games for a total stake. Any views? 1. August 2004, 20:05:28 Very, very quiet on here. Some species of myrmidial micturation? 1. August 2004, 19:56:05 Fencer: Thanks.
So, about the "new" pieces or even the old, how do they match social positions and more provacatively, which BrainKing members most fit the character of Gothic chess pieces? 1. August 2004, 19:13:45 Last time I point out the fact that your ability to communicate implies no insult. 1. August 2004, 18:51:39 Poor Goth, I wish he could understand his loneliness. 1. August 2004, 18:45:32 Subject: Pissant A close reading will show that there were no full spellings in the relevant phrase, more importantly, if you presume to correct me, my meaning got through. 1. August 2004, 18:37:34 Subject: Gothii Thanks for resolving a momentary identity crisis. 1. August 2004, 18:18:20 Subject: Scarlet Rose Thanks for that post, frightening stuff. Shall I tell you about my recruitment drive for slaves(internet, of course)? 1. August 2004, 17:46:56 Subject: GothicInventor Your linguistic shortcomings dont reduce your interlocutor's endeavours to accomodate that ignorance. 1. August 2004, 17:42:49 Subject: Caissus "I don`t want read unimportant things permanently", brilliant. Thanks for validating Danospeak. 1. August 2004, 14:41:27 Subject: Walter How about offering a critique on the quality of the respective insults? 9. July 2004, 21:41:55 I7ve known Walter for around four years and I think he'll probably make a good moderator, expertise in the subject under discussion on the board isn't a necessary qualification. 8. July 2004, 02:06:58 Subject: Bwildman "Fish" you had the chance to say, Hope everyone joins and has fin! 7. July 2004, 21:26:34 He's not banned from posting here, just on the BrainKing Board. 5. July 2004, 22:43:38 Not exactly the perfect end to a perfect evening, in fact pretty disappointing but I guess I'd choose to be the stream, myself. 5. July 2004, 21:58:58 The conversation is meaningless unless one assumes the game will take place. I understand it's holiday season at present in the US, scheduling could be troublesome for both of you. 5. July 2004, 21:31:34 Is Danoschek presently banned? If so could you un-ban him just to answer the question as to whether or not he'll take up the position should the situation arise, please. It's quite nonsense for the game to involve unrealisable stakes from either side, and Fencer's complicity is rather obscure to me at this point. (I dont see which Danoschek post you mean.) 5. July 2004, 21:22:37 As hinted at before, I'm not privy to your conflabs with Fencer, my present state of knowledge is that if Bwildman wins, Danoschek will be moderator for six months, it's difficult to see how he could perform that function while banned. On the question of retractions perhaps you'd like to set the ball rolling with an apology for your "dont have the talent" post. 5. July 2004, 21:05:49 Firstly I need to know what you've discussed, I also need independent confirmation from Fencer, then please tell me what I have said that I should admit I was mistaken about. My best wishes that you enjoy the game? 5. July 2004, 20:54:01 I pointed out a flaw in your post, if you cant deal with that I suggest Fencer re-remove you as moderator. 5. July 2004, 16:39:47 Have we got a kick-off time yet? I want to nip out to the pub, have I time? 5. July 2004, 16:28:32 Well, I hope you both enjoy the game regardless of the winner. At least the pre-game bitching has been fun. 4. July 2004, 02:11:45 Must be some kind of BK2 armistace that reinstated Bagpuss as moderator. 4. July 2004, 01:25:50 Subject: GothicInventor I'll take that as an apology, short of claiming that your account's been "hacked" it's the closest you get to grace. 4. July 2004, 01:06:57 Subject: GothicInventor Are you suggesting that I'm not the inventor of a game published in an international games dedicated magazine? If you should be incorrect in that assumption is your suggestion that the discretion of that magazine's publishers is so paucitive as to refute any hint of "talent" for game design that I might possess? 3. July 2004, 23:40:05 If I invented a game that I always won I'd be embarrassed, my opponents would think I'd factored in my personality. 15. June 2004, 09:14:12 They agreed a draw because it fitted both their requirements, it's completely normal tournament strategy. 16. January 2004, 21:29:33 If anybody thinks I'm happy about this they're wrong. GothicInventor persistenly and in public behaved with a degree of arrogance that insulted not just the members but more importantly, the site owner. Okay, the guy is just mere so who cares? This is a more important moment the exposition of the KM triviality. 16. January 2004, 19:15:13 Oh my god! Fencer's going to ban me for "off-topic". 16. January 2004, 18:58:33 Subject: ScarletRose Could you post a picture of you blushing at the Yahoo group, somehow it doesn't accord with your words. 17. November 2003, 19:26:31 One of my posts, timed around 1:45 (it now being 3:26) has gone but no problem. 17. November 2003, 17:46:08 "The" most popular was what was written, certainly "best" would have been a strange claim to make. << < 1 2 3 4 > >> |
