Yayyy!! Back online, congrats to Fencer & Liquid! I know you worked very hard to get us back on! We can cope with losing a bit of data as long as we're back on! Well done you two!
<The thing is, I never, ever, EVER send cash through the mail. I'd sooner write a 25¢ cheque than do that. :> I knew that link was around here somewhere.. thanks! :>
There may be a person closer to where you live where you can send money, and they in turn PayPal it to Fencer.
Or you could send cash to Fencer - I've never had a problem sending cash in the mail as long as you hide it well. (Don't let it look like there is money in the inside of the envelope)
hope that helps - if not, I'm sure Fencer will be able to help also! :-)
I'd like to purchase a membership, but my only means of payment is a cheque or money order (probably US dollars). My SSL is broken (I'll get round to fixing that one of these days - 'RSN'), so I can't log onto the third-party server. Any suggestions?
kevin: I absolutely disagree ... flattered eyes are part of the fun.
in the 80s the amiga chess v1.0 featuring only letters like N for
knight and so on, surely was fascinating regarding its relatively
high strength ... - but it was not appealing.
in japan even the sound of the go-pieces, when placed
on the boards, are reflected as essential part of the joy ...
we call that attitude 'sensitivity' ...
checkers graphics: our KM experts are called out here - but I know
there is a lot of freely usable (if credited) artswork circulating ... ~*~
Pardon my ignorance, but what's wrong with red and black circles??????? That's the way most of the other pieces on the site are... Put a little crown on the piece when it becomes a king.
Personally, I'm not much of a checkers player, and have gotten used to the pawns used here, so it doesn't really matter to me... Just wondering why some fancy piece made by someone else HAS to be used????
What if i'm a professional graphician, and draw some checkers graphics. Then someone takes my graphics and uses them, without giving me anything (or even credit) for the work i've done. Wouldn't I be upset, and probably sue for stealing my graphics?
I do a lot of graphics and am looking to see what i could do for checkers...If anything is available they will be ready by tomorrow ....about this time Australian LOL 1.30pm
You'd probably just have to draw a pawn (is that what it's called?) and king for each colour (at the biggest size available). And then shrink them for the smaller sizes. I'm not sure how many sizes for checkers graphics are available, but you'd need 4 for each size.
Chief, I know Fencer simply needs a graphic to change the checker. I have been looking on and off for him for awhile and I still haven't found one to use.
A word of warning for those who haven't played here and want to learn the game and follow link 1 ... the rules there are slightly different. They have a computer otb opponent where you can play on your own. That may suit you unbeatableking if you can find no-one here to play with.
Battleboats+, Dark Battleboats.
Reversi Race, Pro Reversi.
Jungle, Sabotage.
Avalanche Chess, Knight-Relay Chess.
Vari, Alquerque, Honey Checkers.
these are the things that are going to be here when fencer has them sorted,,.. there are others that people have asked for that he is thinking about.. plus quite a few other features :)
Субъект: Rating question concerning Game ID: 123222
Hi Fencer :-)
Unfortunately my opponent ran out of time in Game ID: 123222.. so I won the game.. but my rating stayed the same, as it was before.. Is this normal when your opponent run out of time? Did I miss some change in the rules? I must admit that i don´t have much time left to read the boards thoroughly ;o)
but in case my rating should increase, could you please upgrade my rating; before I won my rating was 1887 - as you can see, its still the same....
