Shorty banned Walter who hid Thad who banned Shorty. LOL

Mysterious red numbers again.

(like the fuegians say) for "looking at each other hoping that either will offer
to do something which both parties desire but are unwilling to do" - a bit short
and too merchandizing imho, but close to informative and, gothic chess after all. thx. ~*~

1. f4 e5?? is a loss for Black. 1. f4 e5?? 2. d4?! gives Black to move and draw. I researched one line about a year ago, another about 4 months ago. All of my analysis is in the opening book that will be distributed with Gothic Vortex 1.2, which will come out after the Computer World Championship tournament this November.

I see.

he won a prize tournament ... i.e one of them
without (over months) permanently changing rules ... ~*~

But he's surely not a paying member on an income of a dollar a year??

no.

nope

Ed's a pawn isn't he?

shame dano doesnt sign up....he's afraid he might have to play Ed.

I'm sure things can be arranged.

3 days ugh...I can move up the sign in date.

No disrespect to the memory of Jestone of course, just that if Gothic's leaving the time limit of the tournament could be a consideration.

I recieved a message from Jestones son thanking us for honouring his Dad.

What's that other advert that ends "oh it's chips it's chips, we hope it'll be chips" or similar? "Will there be Gothic fried onion rings you'll have to wait and see".

who is Limit? LOL

9:30pm in UK ;oÞ

What's the time limit?

Don't forget to register to the Gothic Chess tournament: Remembering Jestone in honor of Jestone.

and no - the f-pawn wasn't on my list yet ... played the trice-gambit
with c2-c4 a few times, but got no answers on similar questions neither
here nor in a perpetually hibernating fellowship of the gothic re-inventor ... ~*~

I replied to him...but hey...

you feel the gothic alienation effect as I do, Cerebro - same happened to me here,
not only once - indeed you might have heard a faint *BOP* right after you posted
- I had to fall unconscious from happiness real quick, that's what made the sound ... ~*~

Dance into the fire that fatal kiss like lover's rosey stain a chance to die. . .

Just ban me and everything will be fine.

Alternatively Fencer could remove Gothic.

Aloha,

For those who don't know, I live in Hawaii. It is morning now here and I just awoke..to 40-some new messages. It appears that Bwildman & Walter have some issues. Were there some deleted posts? Anyway, I have been mulling over a couple of ideas. Mainly, it appears that having three mods isn't working. When one of us does something unfairly, it makes us all look bad. Although I like Walter's suggestion, from a practicality point of view, it's too difficult and takes too long for us to all PM each other and figure out what to do each time there is an objectional post. And most of the time, I don't think it's that big of a deal anyway. After all we're just mods of a board, not CEOs of a big coproration.

However, something needs to be done. Perhaps Fencer could remove one or two of the mods (just as long as he doesn't remove me, please!!). As an alternate suggestion, I propose that either, we each take turns moderating the board alone for one month (October, November, December), or we put it to a vote of the readers of this board to pick one of us. I would agree to either suggestion. For the month proposal, I would take either of the three months.

Thad

I'm hardly likely to "create a Gothic Chess board" merely to indulge you in arguing a point, as I said, I find the game uninspiring.

<>Firstly, it isn't a very interesting game,

That's your opinion, i respect that but i completely disagree.
Actually i don't even think this is your opinion, you just say that, since it is obvious you have a problem with Ed.....

>second, nobody is jealous of Gothic,

I agree on that.......

>third, his patent fantasies belong in his own psychosis, they're not a legal issue, if he's broke unlucky.

Nonsense! If you believe that, then create a Gothic Chess board with pieces and make it commercial. Then we will see if it's a legal issue.

Please begin the next round of bickering

hehehe.. I do believe so!! LOL

I don't know whether to laugh or cry! My question on gambits using the chancellor pawn went pretty much unheeded. Let's be honest. We enjoy the bickering, even more than talking about Gothic Chess.

Firstly, it isn't a very interesting game, second, nobody is jealous of Gothic, third, his patent fantasies belong in his own psychosis, they're not a legal issue, if he's broke unlucky.

What is wrong with people on this site;I thought it was for discussing how to play Gothic Chess, the worlds greatest invention in the chess world; not attacking Mr.Trice to satisfy some jealousy over his having invented so wonderful a game. He has every right to defend his patent in court when someone has the gall to try to use it without permission or paying his very reasonable liscensing fee to use it.

I take it I was the case in question, while I said I'll keep it toned down I made no assurance that it won't happen again. This is to absolve you of future accussations as much as it is to accurately publish the facts.

Great comedy over my morning coffee..

*takes little horsie from g1, and places hesitantly on f3*

*sits back and ponders next move*

*oooOoPpSs!! I had a typo!*

Volle.

LOL@Dano!

so don't hold your breathe ... ~*~ :p

But hey, forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit.

stupor animos tenet ... ~*~

exitus acta probat :)

ut desint vires tamen est laudanda voluntas
but I don't even see the will to bettering ... ~*~

janus my anus - and gothic psychotic ... ~*~

But better seems to be:
Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses!!

quis custodiet ipsos custodes is who will guard the guardians

like endless, private bickering - tissues anyone ? first bickering about bad bad
boys on another site, now back to bickering about bad bad boys on this site ... ~*~

quis custodiet ipsos custodes - who will guard the guards themselves?

something like quid custodiet ipsos custodes?

This means I'll have to ask Fencer to ban you. In the meantime, please refrain from posting cuss words on the site. Thanks.
your welcome
