Bugaevsky_S: possibly because Fencer the owner said that nothing will be done to the site unless it is a bad error and that was about a million years ago hahahaha, try and read the notes history....someone else will be able to tell you i dont bother with all that crap
Smiler.: That person posted yesterday or the day before. They were moderated, of course. But that doesn't always keep it off of the Discussion board main page. It should be gone now
Bernice: I give you an example : You got 6 dice with the value 1, you got 6 dice with the value 2, you got 6 dice with the value 3, you got 6 dice with the value 4, you got 6 dice with the value 5, you got 6 dice with the value 6, You got all the values so you got this achievement. For example : before the achievement, you didn't get 6 dice with the value 3, but you certainly got 6 dice several times with the value 6. Do you understand now ?
Bernice: You got this achievement because you made 6 dice with all the possible values. I think that you didn't succeed in doing all the different values of the dice before.
Clandestine 1: I liked your post and we are all entitled to air are opinions No one has the right to tell someone to "leave" it because they do not agree with you. Who knows the boards might get busy.
Bernice: it all starts with one person and grows from there. You can choose to be that person, or not. We’re defined by what we do, not by what we say.
Clandestine 1: you may be right but all people in here will not make a scrap of difference...You need a much , much larger platform for what you are saying... Get yourself a larger audience....not many people in here bother to read the boards any longer
Negative actions tend to have negative consequences.
Let’s try standing together for Ukraine. What can we do as citizens of this planet to help support Ukraine and the people suffering. I believe this war will not end until Russia has destroyed every last piece of Ukraine with an exclamation mark on top of it. They want to make their point and take what they can from their “victory”
The People will survive, they can rebuild wherever that may be. The people will remember and the world needs to remember as well. If everyone stands together, strong with commitment and perseverance, the entire Russian empire will collapse. It may take time, but Russia needs the rest of the world to survive, the world does not need Russia to survive.
Mélusine: You should not have to apologize to this man. The two main posts you made recently on 6 and 7 May were well written and well explained. I totally agree with what you put. I could not have put it any better.
Geomomo: The fact is that very few Russians have paid for membership. The last time according to the Paid membership board was 2007. I know that not all paid memberships show up on that board. But I bet it is very few.
Subject: Re: It is obvious that you have never experienced war.
Mélusine: Thank you for that...I had never heard of that before, and it is wonderful that the wreckage s left as a shrine to those that died...Thanks for the link also...
Subject: Re: It is obvious that you have never experienced war.
seldom: No, I didn't experience war, but my parents and grandparents lived during war and told me about it. My father was 20 years old during the 2nd World War and my grandfather was about 40 years old. I'm French and France was occupied by the Germans who committed acts of barbarism as in any war. They killed members of my family. I give you an example : do you know Oradour-sur-Glane in France ? I hope you'll never visit this village. It remained exactly as the Germans left it, in homage to the victims. An entire village was massacred : the men were shot by the Germans and the women and children were locked up in the church and then burned alive. My maternal grandparents lived next to this village. Members of my family died there. No, I didn't experience war but my mother told me how she experienced it and I've understood very well the horror of this event. Question : Today, should I ask Fencer to ban all players of German nationality because German soldiers killed members of my family during the 2nd world war ?
Marshmud: I'm really sorry if I shocked you, it wasn't my intent and I apologize for this. On my side, I was shocked when you said that every Russian citizen is responsible for the death in Ukraine, and that you've kicked them all out of your club, it's why I replied. Of course, you can comment (I never said you couldn't) even if you don't agree. It's interesting to read opinion and arguments of everyone.
seldom: GOT it. So you're saying only people who do and say what YOU like, should be allowed to play on this site. GOT it. And how would you know who are soldiers and who are not? AND all they would have to do is choose a different country. That's nuts, sorry.
It is obvious that you have never experienced war. Still - that is no excuse for the depth, severity and selfishness of your ignorance. Shame on you. Du Ma.
Geomomo: Only trouble is if you ban Russians why not ban all others as well. All countries contribute to war in some way or other via providing weapons or money. Banning the Russians from playing on here will not stop the war. It will just deprave them of what little pleasure they may get.
Aganju: Thank you for your commonsense ....some people do not understand that every man woman and child in ANY country that is at war is not entitled to live life as normal as possible....As you said get back under your rock
seldom: you are being ridiculous. Do you think if you block any Russian, they will go and speak up against Putin and risk death in a Gulag so they can continue to play here? Are you living under a rock? If Putin plays here, or one of his top aides, sure, block them. But the millions of Russians outside his direct contacts know very little about the war and have very little chance to do anything against it.
You should learn the value of the free speech you enjoy, and start using your brain.
So you think that Russian soldiers should be allowed to enjoy a few games of chess on this site when they are not busy murdering the innocent men, women and children of Ukraine?
Marshmud: I keep saying that Russian Brainking players aren't responsible about the war in Ukraine. Why to ban them ? If tomorrow the government of my country attacks the USA, will you banish me from your f/s, although I'm against war ? If tomorrow my country attacks another country and put people who complain about it in prison or tortures them, I'll say nothing because I'll be afraid for myself and my family and I'll think first to them. I suppose it's the same for the Russian population. It's easy to say that you have to demonstrate against a repressive regime when you're sitting in your chair in the safety of your home. 3 years ago, in France, there were very violent demonstrations (yellow vests), not very far from my home (less than 1 km). When you see the tear gas fumes and you smell the mustard which stings your eyes and throat very strongly and that the demonstrators break and burn everything on their way, I guarantee that you're scared. Don't judge too quickly, it's not so simple. And also look at the foreign policy of your country which is also friendly to countries with totalitarian regimes like Saudi Arabia for example : there, before 2018, being a woman driving a car was considered a crime. Did you, as American, denounce this or do something about it ? while the Usa is friend with Saudi Arabia ? As I say, the action of a citizen is limited in front of a powerful government.
