gothic heritage. ~*~

I prefer the first myself. Incisive, to the point and balanced.

now really - hollow spam should be easy to recognize, intervention appreciated ~*~

Do think upon that night before,
After which shone then, something more,
Now and again, a difference in time,
Oscillates to and fro, from side to side,
Same as before, but different, too,
Comes now north by northeast,
Having a different hue.
Each time around, the cold orb shines,
Killing the cycles, and dreams of mine,
I look up, closed eyes upon it,
Staring at the sky, dark and backlit,
Asking questions, still and deep,
But promises are ending
Unspoken, not for keeps.
Today again gone,
Tomorrow, too soon,
How chilling the reality,
Each night and noon,
Another notch down,
Down sinks the moon.

some people living in the past come here only to disturb, as visible ... ~*~

I shall have to lookie it up!

~BTW~ I am finishing up my first tourney game in Gothic Chess.. and it is proven now, I should have had more practice! LOL

Twa Corbies is an anonymously penned poem/song from Scotland. It's easy to find with Google.

Thanks. I've never had any cause to suspect any of my opponents on this site of playing by any means beyond their own talent.

I must be dense..

What is a Twa Corbie?

lol, the percentage says nothing, I am pretty poor in this game and couldnt stand a chance against Mr.Trice. Anyway to avoid all computer help I chose backgammon lately :P When I am in a mood to play chess or some similar well-analyzed games with lots of possible engines to help I usually choose some really fast games (1-5 minutes per side) on some online servers or some otb competition.
I think there are some worthy opponents for E.T. (not the famous movie ;) ) like Caissus, ChessCarpenter here and its only a question of time to see his first loss here, of course in case he will continue to play here further despite his promises...

I offended you..

I was remaining quiet though... til I noticed someones attitude a bit earlier today.. and as a child I acted to pester him..

I shall flirt up somewhere else..

Ta ta!!

I realize that Dano....but this crap gets old,and the main reason I dont play at IYT.This is the "gothic chess board" not the lets smear people with the past board.
If lonely people want to claim their something their not,in an attempt to draw potential playmates....they should do it somewhere else.

I see you have a better %age at this game than the Grand Prix himself, perhaps he would find a challenge from you a worthy one?

I saw your answer below....thats why I asked if you had "considered" an english version

Good one. Do you like the Twa Corbies?

you do not understand me either ?
your headaches post is actually none different. ~*~

It's a couple of years since I visited IYT so your reference was beyond me.

I have answered below, no it is only in the German langauge

Knights in White
Run wild and free..
the warm summer breeze..
Take all of me now..
then leave with a bow!!..

The sudden life forces..
they tremble within..
Urges of desire..
Known only as Sin..

Capture the essence..
Of romance yet young..
give to me my pentance..
and take of me my tongue..

For desires deep inside..
lure to me your call..
Awaken passions fury..
til then.. when it's Fall..

say what?

have you considered an english version of your paper?

Satlabaat?

LOL:) rather LARGE headaches are never welcome!

some people evidently are addicted to cheapniz
- as if any sane one would want such back. ~*~

its a shame,dirty IYT laundry must always be hung out!!! :(

Those who dont like the help of computers have the alternative recourse of introducing new and less computer susceptible variants.

S/B ScarletRose.. Little flirt ~ playing with the boy toys! ;)

~BTW~ I am finishing up my first tourney game in Gothic Chess.. and it is proven now, I should have had more practice! LOL

and your according opinion. nuff sad ... ~*~

Well, what makes this board so interesting is the cast of characters :)

As an outside observer I can try to classify them.
Ed Trice - smart person but sometimes with childish way of thinking, "I am the best, you will never beat me, you are nothing compared to me, get out of my eyes; or play using my rules and be always polite" now acting as a chameleon, his fear of losses in all areas is very visible, strange and unusual
Caissus - pragmatic, smart, always acting friendly, the type of person we all are looking after
Danoschek - rarely seen, hard to decipher, seems smart but lately bound to repeat always the same type phrases, trying to irritate observers and to get them to his side, but may be its just some kind of hatred what leads his steps, may be he would like to be the best, but someone is in his way, there are some similarities with Trice person model possibly
Stevie - "let me have some fun, I like to provoke some nerds :P"
ScarletRose - long lost love? :P jk

Good there are still few notices about the game itself here and there on this board :D

Pity after developing engines like vortex will offline games turn into "my program against your program", "my computer against your computer like in chess", so some fans will seek for online competition in faster games instead.

Ugh, little feature request, this message editor is waaaay too small...

So what was that all about? My sympathies to IMupChucKing.

even more than people choking everything with their soap operas
I abhor smearfinches without life digging in underware - dissolve ! ~*~

Age old question: who dumped who? Does it matter? The important thing is to always trade up. :)

Who enjoys sharing insults!! haha.. that is what you should have written..

And yes.. I definately got over you!!

Do you still save the convo's we shared?

a ludicrous ex who obviously can't get over it ? eh bleh - btw it takes
mastership of social skills to stand ballistic board-lives like you for so long
while your whole pity board-life will be not long enough to grasp I'm comfy ... ~*~

PS: belated fiddling in of the word 'gothic' doesn't make your fixative humbug noteworthy

So you mastered many languages, Dano.. Too bad you never mastered communication!

~BTW~ I am finishing up my first tourney game in Gothic Chess.. and it is proven now, I should have had more practice! LOL

won't take him - he never mastered latin either. oh well, ut desint vires tamen est laudanda voluntas ... ~*~

ahhhhh he he is, why the name and country change then Trice? who you hiding from? Ed Trice

Helloooooooo why does it look like I was talking to myself? Where did he go?

Heh, thanks :-D

Yes, I will send a copy for you to Munich :)

Is it the same magazine where you mentioned BrainKing some months ago?

The "Rochade-Europa" is only in German language.

I as well

sorry for your loss(es) Ed.

I think the leaving the site was a "chucking the dummy" scenario, didnt get what he wanted when he wanted it.
I think the game would do better if he was still here, but he threatened to leave before, but came back anyways.

As Dano says , its a pubity rights thing "I got bigger and better than you so do as I say" sort of thing

Why would you leave the site? There is a lot to learn about Gothic from you. If you want to popularize the game, surely this is an ideal forum of labile minds. Don't let minor personality conflicts dissuade you.

whats it got to do with you purpledick?

you already signed one of his posts earlier, pre-emptively,
I think it's just just that he would be spared out this time ~*~

The early line had even money..that Creepo would lose in 5 moves. LOL

easier on the administrator, all posts will be signed steviepr

But you have to sign posts gothpr
