Ok, Walter...I'm sorry I took your skepticism for pessimism!

1. I asked Ed not to mention that I was an investor! I just wanted to play Gothic Chess on this site which is why I came in the 1st place! I really don't like to post because everyone twists things around whether they mean to or not.
Ed posted an inquiry on this board on April 1st 2003 on page 45 and that is how I became an investor.
2. Media coverage....of the Gothic Computer Challenge in November which is stated in my orginal post. This includes live coverage of this event. What else can I say?
3. The Gothic piece setup on the 8x10 board is patented and so, if Hasbro and House of Staunton want to make the pieces and say that this is Gothic Chess they need permission from the Gothic Chess Federation.
4.Some offers have come regarding online playing sites...."Is this supposed to WOW us? You're just talking about a game here, and you have all these conspiratorial tones about you." How about many people have asked about a live site that they can play like USCFLive, FICS, ICC, The WorldChessNetwork. If there is something wrong with this, please let me know?
5.Subtle piles of Propaganda...A VOTE!
I just wanted to know how many people were intested in still having Gothic Chess on this site! I just wanted to make it easier just "YES" votes all others would be considered "NO" votes! I didn't want a debate because everything on this board comes to "Venting". That was the reason for my post. Everything is shouted out unlike the fellowship boards like Nasmichael and myself have. I don't think there ever was a post that was Negative to the point that Nasmichael or myself had to tell people to "tone it down"! Thats the kind of boards where I post and still not everyday because I just don't have the time!
6. User Agreement....The last time I looked in the mirror I was Robert Colanzi...other people know me on this site even if you don't!
7."Just what are you insinuating here, Mr. Positive?" After I posted "How about a Vote" I received messages from people that were RUDE to put it nicely. You would not have seen them because they were in "MY" message box.
8.Everyone can have any opinion they want about the patent..thats fine!

Walter I hope I have answered all your questions, if I haven't let me know!

By the way Walter, in my posts, I have always called you by your name..."Walter". Maybe we don't see eye to eye on everything, but lets at least not resort to name calling!

I hope this makes people see things more clear.
I just want people to enjoy this game and have fun Playing it & Discussing it....not fighting over it in any way shape or form.


Thanks,

Robert Colanzi
