3 boards are every single ... oh well.
somehow I could have forseen that humbug. ~*~

she lies impudently about having sent me private messages.

actually due since long, since she begame part of the gossip-providers
and harrassers ... her heart told her I'm the egg, do you remember ??
she 'would gladly apologize if I'm not' - but how blunt must someone be
anyway to assume I would create an ID to make idiotic fun of myself ?
she's so incredibly numb and, now uncovered as fraud also, deeply involved
in the penetrant iyt-bs spun in the background by the known representants ...

regarding those facts and, preemptively preventing further
cheats from her, as she's actually right now busy blurring
the traces of her misuse, by deleting my messages that just
corrected a deliberate misquoting of my posts (guess who)
- here the original part of her msg ventilating about me.

she is a shame for honesty in general and, this server in particular ... ~*~

danoschek.....gone. I have warned him repeatedly. Sent him personal messages. He is a complete downer and his unprevoked slams on me,(the moderator) and turns good times on this board to slamming.
______________________________________________

there are european simplifications for the original glyphs ...

described in the book 'Xianxi'
( by Budde/Kasperczuk ) for instance

their work is an introduction to the game, but almost
half of the text covers the development from shaturanga
to chess in its branches in 1500 years of history ... ~*~

PS
for those a bit familiar with japanese,
the original pieces are like kanji-signs
while the simplified ones look like hiragana.

indeed you are ...
- an idea would have been to ask me privately,
as that continuing nonsense does not belong here.

... my request was sent to Fencer, not to you.

but, actually now you also disqualified for attracting
my further interest in what else you might be missing ...

hope your games run well after all, have a great weekend ... ~*~

indeed this is the 3rd note from me questioning the same.
obviously always the same folks seem not comfortable with
requests to decrease the ease of life for server-parasites. ~*~

<-
I do agree ...
but again that obsessive blurbag has no control altogether ...
- as we know, he lives for 24humbug7. oh well, at least the few
bucks he paid make a tidbit of sense here, unlike his repetitive idiocies ... ~*~
PS
particulary ludicrous his common usage of the term 'fact' which
actually equals a black hole claiming to be the big bang ... ><(((*>

<*))}>/"

... e.g. blur ... ~*~
PS I suggest he finally gets a life ...

Aware of the new humbug on General Chat
I suggest an approbation time for new accounts
before they may post here. I told you who likely
has no life but to keep up enduring blur ...

Running pattern: Top-Players are attacked, an attempt
of sucking them in, to senseless and infertile debates.

Should be possible to verify ... ~*~

but I have to warn you - won't be easy to implement ...
I could figure, as the pieces change their 'meanings'/power
when crossing certain lines ... the game is a bit static,
compared to the chinese chess but worth a look ... :) ~*~

okay - trying to skin out some core again, to pick up BBW's suggestion,
regardless of how the acceptance of obligatory games for top-players will
develop, private games could offer an option to a challenger, to switch off
ratings for certain games, pleasing people out for the sheer fun ... ~*~ :)

it's a feature not only on brainking ... 0:)

e.g. kids, joining a new kindergarden and too insecure to simply
deliver themselves into the yet unknown social structure, respectively
about their chances of making their way in the game-rankings by just
participating - try to occupy the role called 'Guardian Of Rules'
to build a first outpost in the new world ... ;) ... ~*~

PS
for children, that's a sign of intelligence btw as it's besides
of the role called 'Clown' actually the easiest entry into
SOCIAL ranking, confirmed by psychological studies
as being working ...

in a real game of correspondance chess you cAn ... ;) ~*~

good idea ! I wouldn't need it for playing,
but maybe sometimes when reviewing games of other players :) ~*~

any suggestions from serious players how an appropriate timing
for obligatory games of top-players [like me :D] should look like ?

a chess game might take even a few months itself ...
how should the right to challenge be defined ?

for the top ten or, twenty ?

quickshots to fix some glitches of the rankings
messing up the whole system won't help - easier
solution could be that a player who makes only
4 games to feel all cosy on the top of a list is
simply removed from it after being idle for 6 months.

as previously stated, I'm able to look through the surface
even by just utilizing the features that are already available
e.g. view profile - look up game-type - and voila, there's
the spot distinguishing masquerade from seriousness ... ~*~

how to deal with concerted mobbing (reminder) ~*~

hope your friend blazeinshore who stays on 24/7 to
give directions which board to post to is appropriate
will find you soon ... ~*~

although I indeed fully support the basic idea, I think a time-range
of two weeks only will let the whole system become a bit obsessive ...

go figure what kasparov would think about
if we project the whole construct at chess

leads to a second objection, the timing simply MUST depend
on the regular game-length of a certain gametype inflicted ...
how should a brainpawn be able to accept all
the challenges regarding his/her limited slots ?

to all my sincer suggestion to reflect all sidelines properly

some people actually have a life and can't stay on 24/7 to accomodate challenges

let's cool down and make a substantial idea of it !

have a blessed sunday, you all ~*~

for my person, such a display would influence me as following -

if I'd see somebody who challenges me having about 70%
of his games played as player1 I would simply DEMAND that,
in a first encounter he'd take player2, because I evidently couldn't
rely on the custom of granting a 2nd game with exchanged colours
- happened already.
I won't name the player though - may he remain happy ... :Þ ... ~*~

I second Dmitri's request - maybe not as permanent display, but like
the provisoric ratings, switchable ... merely also as regular addition
like, in football the games at home and, in the opponent's stadium are
separately specified on many leaderboards as well ...
( I mean football, not the american rugby-variation *grin* )

as I'm still unexperienced at Tablut and don't know the stats
for the maharajah chess either - no clue for which game type
it also might turn out handy yet ... ~*~

finally no sore nose anymore, from bumping on the screen ... :D ...~*~

sometimes comparison happens
to be the best illustration ... 0:)

but why not a wider range if it's
minor difficult to implement ... ~*~

I am convinced !

It IS a book of wonders ... :p ~*~

played on a round board,
has some pente-elements

maybe something not in
Fencer's 'Book of Wonders'
and, worth a look ? :D

found it in the beginning 90s
as freeware for the Amiga Computer
