I'd suggest a google search for pictures. Edit then what you'll find to the suitable size and don't care about any copyrights. I mean, who cares about fellowships icon on BK? :-)

Ikkon: Are you searching for something suitable by size or by motif?

ADizMischievous: We can only disable smileys and javascript functions and ignore all the *number* rubbish. :-)

I would like to see all of the moderators removed -- and on the other side all of the users acting (at least mostly) as adults. I'm glad to be able to read/write in Czech, because I feel the moderation (censorship!) only in the English discussion boards. :-)

Jealous? What for? -- I prefer to play only few (fewer than 20 -- 5 at the moment) games and have fun with them, not to work hard to break any records. :-)

Good question. :-)

A damned thing. Actually you don't have to care about the vacation :-) [or about the timeout of your games :-( ] as long as you have some spare vacation days. Rooks have 30 days per year. -- Look in your settings.

Automatic vacation...

Fencer, the English teacher: Uh oh, I'm forgeting quite often to put the damned "s" at the end of the plural words or in the third person singular, so I was proud not to forget to write "informationS". And you're saying it's wrong? It's not fair... :-)

Czuch: Yep, from the informations which we have it doesn't sound strange, the post could be controlled. But we don't know, maybe it isn't, Mehdi knows it certainly better than we. -- I lived long enough in a totalitarian country where the post were controlled. This is why I suggest to send the money hidden in something small and priceless, some book (about Iran) or whatever.

Eriisa: I'd be delighted to buy something from you. Are you selling books about checkers? :-)

Mehdi, I don't know anything about the Iranian banks and/or if it's simple or not to send money to the foreign coutry. I suppose it's possible but quite complicated and expensive (it is hell expensive from an Austrian bank). I'd personally recomend to send cash in a letter (or hidden in a small book or something like that), I'm sending regullary cash to the States (not every American eBayer is accepting PayPal :-)) and it works and I got cash from buyers from the whole world. Where is the problem? You probably don't want to send the money for a Brain Maharadja, want you? Even if the envelope with your 10 or 20 dollars would be lost (and I'd say the chances are good it won't) and you would have to send it again, it's probably cheaper and much more simple than to run to the bank, to buy some money orders and so on...

Wiktor256: Exactly. As I recommended the game to Fencer, I said to him that the optimal number of the runners should be about 20. It's a little bit perverted now... :-)

Btw, I hope that there are no holidays for this game. Otherwise it wouldn't make any sence...

Hrqls (15:05): Yep.

TonyH (14:54): I suppose if one read the rules, it should be clear enough, although the game is little bit abstract. :-)

Sure, to have a huge number of members for the statistic. :-)

I'm surprised that the complainig comes from somebody who is playing 500+ games and makes his moves in the game with me quite slowly. :-)
Sure it's sometime wearing on the nerves when somebody takes the whole time, but it's allowed - so what?

Stevie: Well, well, you are right, we are probably quite bad parents. But actually I'd do it same way again.

(I suppose you didn't watched adult movies before your 18th birthday and never got the idea to do something, what your parents didn't allowed. A good boy, indeed, I'd be proud of such child.)

C'mon, people, my daughter loved "Natural Born Killers" at the age of ten, she knows many dirty jokes and she use a lot of the four letter words. Neverthless she was the best in her class on an elite high school (gymnasium) and she studies on the university. :-)

ScarletRose: I see. "Do you want to read dirty jokes? Pay or die!" ;-)
Err... Which fellowship is it, please?

Uhm, I wouldn't be able to fight any flame wars without ocassion. There was (or maybe still there is) a fellowship Fight Club. I read it a while but I think it was rather boring...

But a Discussion board with the possibility to post "dirty jokes" and use "all words that we know" is definitely a good idea. Fencer, would you please kindly create a DB "liquid-manure reservoir" or "no censorship - for adults only" or something like that? :-)

My hobbies? Flame wars?

Ok, seriously, I'll try write something in the evening, but you know - I hope there won't be a lot of questions, because I can't probably answer them in Czech or German and my English is rather pidgin than well... ;-)

Very well said, indeed.

And I apologise deeply if anybody of you guys thought, I have anything against Portugeese. If I said anything in this way, it wasn't meant so. Peace - and let's return to checkers.

Please, would it be possible to put a motto in the header of the discussion board? (Or even better on most of them.) Something like "don't feed the trolls" or so. ;-)

(Sure, I know, I made the mistake too.)

The funniest thing is that obviously several people, who did't read my first postings, think really I'm a racics [(c) Paulo] or prejudiced [(c) Stevie]. But who cares...? :-)

It could be from two games matches where both players won one game.

Google is our best friend... Hogan's Goat. :-)

Bwildman & Purple: ROFL! :-)
