Gabriel Almeida: Maybe your face wont fit !! ;)

Gabriel Almeida: Capital idea!
oops...I forgot,we're not voting

Gabriel Almeida: Yes, of course. You're the best

Purple: I would be honoured... if everybody agrees with that!

Gabriel Almeida: Well if Nomad doesn't come back you can take his place. :)

Purple: You're doing a great job, my good friend!

Stardust: He has been ill but I fully expect his return. If he doesn't I will appoint someone else. As long as people confine their posts to checkers there is very little for co-moderators to do. Global moderators monitor the public boards as well and I am notififed when posters start inappropriate topics. I take action as soon as I become aware.

This forum is a sadness. There are a lost (nomad), an analphabetic (ustica) and a tyrant lady (Purple). We have change these moderators.

Stardust: I agree with you. Purple doesn't... ;)

Gabriel Almeida: The discussion was about this board's moderators. Since it's been almost a month since one of the moderators has been online,I was wondering if it was known if he was returning or not. If he isn't planning to return perhaps another moderator could be appointed to replace him. Just my two cents

Stardust: Oups... that's not a Checker's deal... Purple will not like it! ;)

Nomad hasn't been online since the 16th of October. Is he returning?

Purple: Ok, thank you for the explanation, my good friend!

Gabriel Almeida: Take this suggestion to Fencer..not here. The co-moderators are appointed by me with the approval of Fencer and are not the subject of votes. This is like any other public board. We are here to discuss CHECKERS..not Ustica or Nomad. I will not engage in a debate about this but delete off topic posts and if necessary hide or ban the poster. This stops now.

Hey, this is not about checkers, but it's about this board. Can any of our moderators explain me how can someone be moderator of this board? I think it would be nice if we could vote for our moderators... Of course, Purple is a very active moderator, but I think Ustica or nomad aren't so useful, like moderators. Maybe we could vote for another checker player to moderate this board. What do you think about it?

Andre Faria: Indeed! I've seen a few games of some of the best checkers players here (purple, ustica, pinchitos...) and they used that technic in their games! I still don't know exactly how it works, besides I've readen carefully undertaker's article!

Andre Faria: Ustica! Good at checkers? Hmmmmm!!

Andre Faria: He is under no obligation to explain anyihing to you. The next time you flame or bait another member you will be banned from this board.

Andre Faria: No more on this topic. The DB is for checkers.

I can not explain the reason for the rule any more clearly than I already have. Fencer can change it if he decides to.

Andre Faria: No one translated it. We were just giving notice before removing it.

Andre Faria: All posts are reviewed by the moderator, co-moderators and Global Moderators and must be in English.

gandhi2: Please post in English only.

Does anybody needs me to translate it? It would be a pleasure! ;)

Socrates: Good info. Thanks. I never had an easy game with any GST guy.

Purple: GST (Grooves Speed Team) was an online checkers team from 1999-2003. The leader was Favian Elmore (gst_favian) and consisted of very good online players, a few mediocre tournament players, and a few program players. These players played at IYT, Kurnik checkers and Yahoo! checkers. The team is dead now - I haven't seen a player with the gst subname in 2 years or more...

There are many checkers teams in kurnik checkers, and maybe some in yahoo checkers. These players don't play in BK or IYT. They are highly skilled speed players.

I have checker books and magazines for sale if anyone is interested. I have complete sets of Draughst Razoo too.
Just message me.

Stardust: You offered once. He had his chance. LOL.

I started playing a checkers game on Goldtoken almost 5 years ago (Oct 23,2001). On the 21st of January 2002 I offered a draw and was denied. That was at move # 31.
We are now up to move # 146. A third party interfered and asked Badger to declare a draw. Badger messaged me and I declined the draw...Let's say I can be stubborn ;-)

Gabriel Almeida: link: Checkers (david upshaw vs. !Undertaker!)

Purple: it's my game. I'll propose draw. We had 4 pieces each, so I tried to win.

Gabriel Almeida: I think David will take it to Fencer. I was just trying to help him out.
