Re: Got kicked from OGS because I accepted game offers

quietimes, calling me a dick is an insult for me, please consider stopping it.

If someone is not able to set game restrictions correctly or as they fit his needs, maybe he should practice the server mechanics on free games.

Re: Got kicked from OGS because I accepted game offers

It is not fair to only blame me.
I was stubborn this is correct, I wanted to play that ranked game as long I meet the game restrictions.
There is a restrict rank option if my rank was the problem.

Re: My stony path to Shodan OR How to quit quitting

Thank you for your comment.

I thought my jump at M5 would put some pressure on the black stones and create a good relation (3 spaces) to the H3 stone.
Are the w stones to heavy surrounded to think this is a good choice?

Connection at S18, is a nice Idea I didn't have in mind, I thought of it to ...
