It seems that Sephiroth 3d was just off doing other things...as I was. I probably broke a finger when playing soccer with friends this weekend. After I tripped and my friend stepped right on my hand, I stood up and slipped on the ball, somehow injuring my foot. And then I spat water which was in my mouth at the time for a defense mechanism all over another friend's pants. Later on two of us pulled out the duct tape, wrapping the others in it, and we all managed to take down 2 shelves in his garage during this process. Well, that doesn't matter.

For awhile I was convinced that Seph3d drowned in the shower after slipping on the soap, but I guess I'm wrong. Thank goodness that didn't happen.

I'll be waiting, 3d man!

Hey Sir Robert, im on icq 8 hours a day, so don't be whining around that i never show up. In fact you dont !

Really its just about that we are in 12 hour differece timezones. Dont worry, we will meet sometimes soon.

My bad, I guess we just never catch each other on, but now we have a scheduled time so everything is happy and dandy again. Sorry Mirex I just got frustrated which is very easy for me to do.... Forgive me?

Aaron, I saved the game at Yahoo!

Heh, Nori and I were playing when my campus internet went out for about 20 minutes. It affected my roommates computer too, so I'm pretty sure it was some kind of network problem.
Anyway, thanks Nori.

5. h5xf7+ e8xf7

He surrendered after like 5 moves...I assaulted his queen...and that was it.

On our re-match...25+ moves later...he won though ^_^

{edit} Umm....is that guy Simon on this post even??

Im not sure what other people feel about this idea, but what if we were to play a chess game on zsnesdos multiplayer. It would be full screen so you cant cheat, you could also record movies so you could post it and someone else could watch it later, and you dont have to register crap at yahoo. (Not to mention the fact every time I use java, things get really screwed up)

Either way, its just a suggestion...

I think that people who would cheat on Yahoo! would cheat on ZSnes. Plus, ZSnes netplay can be kinda slow over the internet, and it wouldn't work for me at all because of this firewall. And if you get disconnected, I think the game may reset if you reconnect. I still think Yahoo! (or some other online game meant for the computer) is the best choice. It's easy to get the game history from Yahoo! as well. And then, Nori's right.. its technically not legal to play on ZSnes unless you own the original game.

I think most everyone should already have a Yahoo! account for some reason or another.

I don't have a problem with a time limit. I don't think there should be one unless both players are ok and agree on it.

P.S. I updated the bracket at

Why set time limit? To avoid cheating?

I have to agree with Cadd, those who want to cheat are going to cheat... and there's no honour in cheating IMO.

Besides, I have to admit I sometimes take my time before I make a move because I'm that slow. I hate time limits.... and I'm certainly not a professional player.

Aaron · Posted: Tue, Sep 09 2003 06:35 PM Post subject:

Well we may have more of a variety of tourneys, but I think we should wait until this one is over...

Caddberry · Posted: Tue, Sep 09 2003 09:51 PM Post subject:

If you dont want a time limit for this one thats fine.. but a time limit IMHO is a way to curb any cheating too.. if you have a 15 min time limit you could hardly have an application and alt+tab to check it out.. 10 min would probably be even better.. a 10 min blitz.. but i doubt anyone here would go for 10 minutes.. I dont mind the no time limit thing in real life.. thats cool because you can talk over the board about stuff.. and well its just different.. No time limit online and i am twiddling my thumbs

but as i said its fine.. i dont mind..

Golbez · Posted: Tue, Sep 09 2003 10:17 PM Post subject:

Personally, I think a 5 min per move rule would suffice but like Nori said that should be for a possible advanced bracket. I think whoever cheats is nothing but a loser and has no respect for themselves. I'm out for now.

15-20 minutes on game ? Cant be. When i play with my bro we can't cut it under 35-40 minutes, you have to think on moves a little. (thats also why i dont like chess much, it takes too long)

Nom_Anor · Posted: Wed, Sep 10 2003 11:35 AM Post subject:

I dunno guys...

Nori is quite the shark...she can chop you down in 5-30 minutes...depending on game.

Caddberry · Posted: Wed, Sep 10 2003 11:52 AM Post subject:

Like i said i dont mind there not being a time limit.. If you would rather not then lets not.. it doesnt matter.. And yes nori is good.. her rating is what 1580? How often do you play chess any way nori?

Qhimm · Posted: Wed, Sep 10 2003 12:20 PM Post subject:

<<< :waves around:

I still think we should hold a Go tournament too! But I have no idea if anyone would be interested, especially when people are already complaining about the length of chess games...

Golbez · Posted: Wed, Sep 10 2003 12:33 PM Post subject:

Go is a completely different game than Reversi right? If so, then I have no clue how to play Go. I know Reversi though. Reversi might be a cool idea for a tourney, or maybe not. Catch ya later!

Cadburry...

I played 2 games with her today...first game she stomped me in 8 moves...

the second was 28 or 29...I think. Definately knows good strategy!

Caddberry · Posted: Wed, Sep 10 2003 01:00 PM Post subject:

wtf is go? i suppose i should google it or something.. yeah i think nori's chess game is probably the best on the board..

eerrrr · Posted: Wed, Sep 10 2003 01:14 PM Post subject:

Caddberry: Go is an old Chinese game I think, easy to learn (apparently) but it takes many years to master.

How about a good old game of Checkers on MSN 6! Or Minesweeper Flags!

FFTactic_Boy · Posted: Wed, Sep 10 2003 01:43 PM Post subject:

Never played Go before, though I've read the rules and it is quite similar to a game that I always play in class during my Primary/Secondary school in Malaysia (Using grid paper). Nevertheless it is still different.

I do know how to play Chinese Chess though. But again, like chess I'm not really that good in Chinese Chess (Though I've beaten my chinese teacher in a game once in school

)
