One buck to stop the bickering - I'll pay it, send me the bill. As for Ed and Fencer; that is there private fight to own, not ours. I imagine that we are all here to play Gothic Chess and not to bicker about a patent (you could always go to cowplay to do that if it's up your alley).
I know Ed and Fencer have had their disputes and lots of things have happened behind close doors, however the game itself is a very appealing game. I personally have taken a strong interest in this game and have spent many hours studying it, you could say that it is my new hobby. To lose Gothic Chess hear I feel would be a poor choice on Fencer's part. I don't know what can be siad for Ed's behaviour because I'm not in a position to speak of it. If fencer finds something wrong regarding Ed's behaviour then perhaps discipline is order for the member - NOT THE GAME! This is my stand point on that and I will defend Gothic Chess to stay at this site. As for Ed, he can defend himself because he can speak to what he has said and what has been said behind close doors.
I'm not here to be a *hit disturber, I just feel that the game itself should not be on trial here.
