EdTrice: .. thankies sooooooooo much for inviting me in..
To all those who haven't yet.. You don't know what you are missing.. it is so kewl to be able to play this game live.. and chat live as well.. From start to finish..
But Ed messaged me and mentioned something about him changin his password awhile back and you having his email on ignore, fencer.. Could this be a reason why he can't get on the site?
Walter.. you know what you were implying with your statement!!.. How can you feel good about that..?? for all these outsiders now.. you try to cover up your taunts.. and in doing so you discust me..
Ho Hum.. You just still don't get it do you Walter..
I am not arguing with you that you wouldn't make a good moderator.. perhaps maybe on another board.. but, you blatantly get upset and start showing jealousy towards Ed due to his ability to patent a chess variant.. of course.. let's not forget all the time he studied each individuals values and strong points of each little square.. So.. due to his time and effort.. is he really at fault??.. It is not to say that someone can't just make a chess board and the pieces.. themselves.. but, to print the rules and use the positioning strictly on that board.. and then sell it as That particular game.. YOu will be challenged.. especially if you try to profit from it..
Similar to writting up a story or producing a movie.. that has already been written or thought of.. and then trying to earn the rewards for someone else's hard work..
And this bird dude.. whoa.. he had every right to patent his positions as well.. Just as I have a right to patent the one position I do.. that many men find they enjoy.. ;) *thinks to self ~ Am I allowed to say that?*
Perhaps I will after I do some indepth research! LOL
Asunto: Re:“Ed, you've had your chance at moderating this board. Twice! What happened?”
To answer your question Walter, on why Ed doesn't moderate the board could be due to peeps not really giving themselves a chance to know Ed on a more personal level.. Some are so intimidated by his posts and his level of intelligence that they simply shy away, or gang up on him.. A while back Ed Tried to help this site.. peeps took it as though he was wanting to take control of it.. He actually ended up losing quite a bit of money due to the outcome.
Peeps assumed by his posts.. that he was a real monster because at the time he was also aware of wrong doings of the KM. Which was a group formed similar to the groups now with UE and Mastermind.. most people were tagging their names with KM (and it was a large group, I included) just to do it.. not knowing what actually was going on at the top of the KM.. When Ed commented that he was going to break down the cluster of KM's then of course.. he ended up getting a lot of peeps angry at him.. Cause they new the leader of the KM to be such a kind person.. Wanting to help others.. And offering friendship and advice.. While he and a few others managed to lure passwords out of others and do some not so nice things. It finally came out around a year ago.. So I don’t care to go into much more details.. But, since that incidence.. There HAS been biased opinions from most at the site towards Ed.. Which in turn when he tried to do the moderator position he would get down right attacked..
Now Granted.. I do not mean to say Ed wasn’t tempted to come down to everyone else’s level.. Cause he is only human.. And he did at times.. That is when I started chatting more with him.. Seeing his side of the playing field.. And I learned that I was one lucky gal to have pushed the feelings aside that were openly stated throughout the site and actually get to know who is he rather than cast judgment on him for his type written words.. I am glad to call him a great friend. I have learned he has a wonderful sense of humor, is very intelligent and very real.
So please.. Don’t nit pick and try to belittle him with this.. “Why aren’t you moderating this board?” BS..

I simply have a problem with Walter Montego's anti-Gothic Chess *patent* remarks. I think it's ridiculous that he is tolerated to continue doing so.. he should be removed as the moderator I feel. Isn't it double standard when a moderator nit picks to create a flame responce.. yet, is continually allowed to do so?
Especially when they end up hushing others or omitting posts..

You know how silly you boys look now? Half convo..??
You know.. I don't even know why one party was removed when at least he wasn't cussin.. Yet, some others here.. well.. they should learn some manners.. UUGgg.. *ahem*..
*HHHMMmmmm.. scans down page looking for that link Edward left for me.. Muy Guapos .. *Giggle*
*ahem*.. now.. well.. UUUmmm.. OOO.. well.. Okay.. with all due respect there Ed.. beings that you are a chess player.. and are intelligent.. and you come accross sometimes in an intimidating way.. *cough*..
One might just think that you looked all businessy and geekish..
I expected to see a man who was all business like wearing dark rimmed glasses and having a pencil stuck behind his ear.. But, you seem far from that.. You actually are a nice looking man there Trice..
Even in regular chess.. the Queen is a strong one.. the king.. so limited yet the main focus of capture..
In Gothic.. the archbishop and Chancelor are rather strong players.. Just as the Queen is.. Although, I still prefer to save my Queen due to her unlimited straight and diagonal moves..
This is just my opinion though.. for I am no master player.. nor do I have time to really sit and study chess or the variants soley.. I just play for fun.. '
Does this mean I can write a story and just change the wittle words.. (but, not change the meaning or the plot of it).. and not be sued. Cause I would think it is the same thing.. Or are laws different in other countries?
I need help fast!!!
Who is good with astronomy and equations?? I have been struggling now for the last several hours trying to get my homework done!! It is due in four hours.. and it deals with Kepler's Third Law M = a3/T2
Wasn't there a story in the bible that said God would save some city if there were only 10 people who were "good"? Hmmm maybe this is a bad example since that city was destroyed! Ummm, ok, never mind.
