Subjekt: yadda indeed but what do you expect mrloup
with a moderator who tends to post nothing but inessential remarks,
e.g. for hours last tuesday? still I do not see a tournament
announced between monkeys and typewriters as he pondered so extensively.
The parameters are still being discussed, but all entrants would have to send in a check, and sign a document as well. The document would cover all stipulations associated with the prize fund, including dispersements in the event of tragedies.
In only 4 days an epic battle begins. Are you looking for glory as you crush your opponent under your steel tracks? Then you must sign up for this tournament. That is unless your afraid.
With that $50.00 entrance fee.. would there be something in writting for those who enter the tournament which entitles those entrants to a full refund if another crash were to interrupt their play again? And do you offer a form in writting to those who do enter outlining the award to the winner.. or is this supposed to be taken at face value..?
Subjekt: first (as usual) there are a lot of gothic apologies pending
bet they won't be even half way excuses ...
so merely again start to misuse a public board.
We are not interested to see your porcupine jokes here. Please, finally
consider keepin your inessentials out. You gothic Mr. are definitely
beyond the last who should swell as reference for behaviour, here.
So better keep those mental masturbations privat ~*~
I could just offer a naughty joke in The Cave to cheer you up :")
the chess boards are my domain here
- as I stated repeatedly without success.
I know too well how it is when every now and then,
- there's of sudden noise around and you're told it's
about you, not only then I prefer to be left alone anyway - darn ...
I cannot please all folks either - not with every post after all.
good morning, chief :D
thanks for you have spoken ;)
guess Mr. Trice will not be pleased to hear that
you have made VERY clear that he cannot command
you around, here. He's really a bit hard on grasping. ~*~
<I complained about a deliberately canceled tournament
- I had already won my group and an announced prize thus ...
onto that I made a bit fun at a poll consisting of only 3 votes ... :P
big deal.
c'mon this is the tournament board we aren't in kindergarden are we ?? >8(
he could have left it by that one growling comment, my *promises promises*
and end of my debate. no not so mister obsessive nerd. he started
an endless chain of uncreative and illiterate provocations like
he did also - out of the blue - last weekend at the bk.com board
(violating any intelligence, remember guys ? I was supposed to have
taken illigitimate advantage by uhhhm double vacancy days .... :O huh ??
so because I had official vacancy days while the server was down anyway,
I gained advantage ?? no way to play so why should I waste vacancy ...)
I succeeded in lightmindedly dodging that ridicoulous assaults beyond
any niveau and intelligent observation - not without help of course
- from the Holy Lotos and ... :D ... Auntie Margarete ... :P ... ~*~
you should better try that with the notorious goatic cheater !
who's always off topic when behaving like a wildboar to
waste the boards and, who rabies-like attacks erraneously
when screwing up periodicly as many here have had to suffer.
(do you want me forwarding the complete board of yesterday
before he started his uhhmm selective deleting to blur traces ?
insulted me continuously, hours ! while I dodged like a boarero.)
about two dozens complaints about his bullying, to his domain here at your server, have also been deleted silently - ah blah !!
**************************************************
He offered 'unlimited' cheater support to all my opponents and,
you dare to warn me for documenting where the money stinks ?
Careful, deadend of culture, I sadly have to warn you. :(
Hey Dano,
your last posts on this board are definitely off-topic and it's a miracle that Ed still don't use his moderator functions [ban/hide].
Provocations don't work anywhere on BrainKing and never will do. Please don't make me try the "account suspension" feature on you [someone must be the first to try it on him]. I think that we had a deal from the recent past. Take it as the last warning.
but would be a bad idea next time when it comes to losing a gothic game
against a Janus expert, instead of again exposing the same strange amnesia
you suffered last time - dunno whether you have green teeth, but that's no
bluetooth yet - anyway when server-crashes should continue to have direct
impact, on your own memory too, you probably should stay disconnected
- i.e. sheer technically - oh yes, from sportsmanship you cAn,
easily of course, since long, as we know. good job for a start ... :P ... ~*~
what has poor Auntie Margarete done to you ? 0:)
ah blah, you have been a rude rowdy anyway - all the time
that's not auntie's fault - now Uncle Theodor is solely your problem ... ~*~
Subjekt: Re: Gothic Chess vs. Janus Chess discussion
I imagine some of the tidbits were interesting to the general readership, but I did not want it evolving into a "the variant I like best is better than the variant you like best" contest.
Both have strong advocates that have at least tried the game more than occasionally. Both have strong followings in their own countries.
Since tournaments were discussed in the midst of the diatribe, this is correct place for the postings. But now I think all that needed to be said was said.
Subjekt: Re: Stevies Anti reversi Prize Tourny 2nd try
NOT MUCH TIME LEFT TO SIGN UP
Hi all, as part of the KM November sponsor a pawn campaign just before the crash. So here we go again, it would be nice to see the same players sign up. There were 20 before, so if we get more this time, the more the merrier :o)
Stevies Anti Reversi Prize Tourny 2nd try Have fun :o)
Steve
Some of the posts were not even remotely on topic, and they were removed. Some were still off topic and were left here for no apparent reason, just to keep happy those who view DBs as "permanent archives" of sorts.
Shall we dispense of the Gothic Chess vs. Janus Chess discussion?
36 Grandmasters in the USA and 55 Grandmasters in in the much smaller Germany shows the difference.
After new hard- and software is installed I will try to bring one of them to play here a simultan event,perhaps in Janus or Gothic.
Subjekt: To Whoever Said There Was Only One Vote...
I count 3 for stopping the tournament, and 1 recent one for continuing it.

thanks for asking, Ed
I for one find myself with far too many ongoing GC games from previous tournaments to start new commitments right now.
VOTE: A

I think that it's fair to everyone that the tournament be started over in 2004! I had 6 wins and 1 game to be decided, so I think I would be affected more than anyone since I had already made it to the 2nd round!!
So my VOTE=A
GothicInventor Vote on 2003 World Championship

My message box was full of mail about people who were winning whose games were lost, etc. So, should we just scrap the whole event and just run one in 2004?
Vote:
A - delete the 2003 Tournament
B - keep it, but start it when we get back to 32 rooks and 48 pawns.
Anyone else want to take all the BS off all the boards and put it somewhere???? Try the FLAME PIT. This will be a one stop, all you can eat, trash talking, in your face DB. Lets move all the junk off the public boards into here.
Why not use the $3k that was not awarded to this year's champ to cover the entry fee of the first 60 (if the fee is $50) players into the next one. Or perhaps first for the folks who were in the interrupted one. That certainly seems fair and generous to me. No one would complain about any appearances by you to hoard the funds (and I'm not saying that you are!!).
bwildman: I understand your attitude. If I had a chance, I would have restored all missing games [including the ones from the mentioned tournament] and everything could continue with no problems. Unfortunatelly, it is not possible.
Aragon: Hmmm, not a bad idea. But I would like to finish some more urgent things first :-)
Dano: Please don't write about "coincidences", I'm starting to be allergic to this word. And nobody except me and Liquid is granted to upload anything to BrainKing.com site. And I'm not going to write more details about the structure and security of our servers.
I know only one person who would have also economic interests in
a server-crash to blur the verbal traces left by weeks of his execrable
notoriousness, awww and what a nice co-incidence, probably the only
one too, who's granted to upload scripts to brainking, because the
gothic homepage is hosted there ... now that is a speculation ...
documented then that I already had won my tourney-group,
but easy speculation again who was not pleased by right that ... blah ~*~
Our there any BrainKing tourny's such as this planned Fencer? I mean im sure if you were to host a twice yearly one with price money (entry fee ofcourse) it may generate some revenue for BK?
Well Fencer...since you asked...I'm not complaining...nor am I speculating.Gothic Inventer asked and I asked him in return.Maybe I was confused at 1st...but I was under the impression that tourny would be resumed..heck...I'm still confused.But last time I checked....none of the other Tourny's had $3000.00 price tags on them...and only one has been reposted. If Gothic doesn't appreciate my concern or that of others...perhaps he shouldn't ask for our opinions.
Okay, let's finish this topic. The final result is that the 2003 Gothic Chess Championship is cancelled and there is nothing else to do with it. No further discussion can change it.
