I think we need a little bit of explanations for any new players wanting to check it out. (i mean there are only 3 threads, and all are games, IIRC)

I think i could also make this a signing up thread, so i'll start with:

The infrastructure: post here if you want to play, what size will the board have, what colour would you prefer (if any) and any other things that ought to be settles b4 the start of the game (for instance, any handicap you'd like to receive, or maybe the komi^*).

Playing requires a partner and a mod. Modding the game can be done by either one of the players (or both) if they're good w/ pics and have a little bit of extra time on their hands. A third party is also acceptable of course, if satisfying the same conditions.

The password to the "GO" username is known at least to Antrax, eixdeuce, HyToFry and VinnyQ.

^*_{Komi is compensation in points given to white for playing the weaker side - since black has the advantage of going first.}

Why a mod? and read your email.

Mod? Only if both players are unwilling or uninstructed or unable to update the board. It can be one of the players, as i said.

Which email?

MisticX · Daedalian Member

i would like to play
JUST TO PLAY (i do not care who is the opponent, who is the moder and wich kind of table as long as me and the other player are playing)

The solution I found was D19, E16, F19

I will play! But I want to play on the 19x19 board. We need to get Hy to update the UBB code and someone to make the letters and numbers images.

We will need "1" to "19", and "a b c d e f g h j k l m n o p q r s t"

we already have "1" to "9" and "a b c d e f g h". Someone get cracking on the rest!

(I will if someone can tell me what font the current one are in)

for all who wants to learn.

Very good sites provided by eixman.

FYI: the password for "GO" is the same as the word for when you only have one liberty left.

LOL - CrystyB

PS no capital letters

Oh and don't do that... ("Ok with you, Crysty?") I should have made this topic from a different username, all it's supposed to do is provide useful information for any possible GO players.

So how about it CrystyB? How do you make those images with the letters? We need to make more for a 19x19 board.
