Just registered, I'm JTruant at KGS. I've wanted to play Go for awhile, glad I can start now.

Calling it a night tonight though, work in the morning, but maybe I'll get in a game or two tomorrow. If you could add me to the super secret room that's cool, if not I'll just jump in SA and ask there.

Could I also snag an invite? Truant27 is my username on KGS.

Coffee and learning to play Go on a Sunday is a good day.

Nobody knows what anything means at first, don't sweat it.

Hit me up for a non-ranked game on online-go.com sometime! Username should just be Pander.

If this is an open invitation I may do this tonight, I played 4 games against a homie yesterday and in at least half of them I had "uhhhh so now what should I do?" moments, hah.

sure. My schedule isn't amazing, but in a correspondence game with long deadlines it's not a problem.

I didn't get to this last night but I'm gonna do it tonight!

Amazon is overpriced for everything go related.

I just got the YMI 0.4" 9x9 bamboo board for like 16 bucks, that seems pretty sweet to me? The book prices do vary a lot more, you're right.

I just noticed your post history for this thread. I find it kinda amusing you had made the same introductory post twice, only separated by 8 years.

Oh my god that's great, I didn't even realize that!

At least I'm consistent, right?

Fake edit: is it more normal for the board to be more expensive than the stones, or vice versa?

Pander - just sent you an online-go challenge! Prepare to beat me so badly that you might even be embarrassed...

Hoping somebody can help me out here: I just 'completed' Tsumego Pro's 2nd easy challenge of the day but... I don't really know why it's finished?

I mean I think the point was just to keep Black's pieces alive by creating at least two eyes but honestly I have no idea.

Played my first 19x19 game on my brand new board last night though, was fun as gently caress(especially cause I won).

You got it

Is Tsumego worth the :10bux: to buy the upgraded version, by the way?

I go on-call tomorrow so I won't be able to drink, but I'll do plenty of marijuanas and play with folks almost any night this week, OGS/KGS!

I'll probably be balling on some OGS later tonight since I've only really been doing tsumego recently, if anybody wants to school me drop me a line!

But then you gotta beat them with the table and you'll get blood all over your floors. Too messy for me. I just resign after move #2.

If anyone even asks me to play Go I just tell them, "I resign."

One day I'll make it to move 2...!
