And if you knew anything about me you would never have speculated that math was my strong suit. You don't pay much attention when it doesn't suit you Noex. Just as you missed how glaringly obvious it was to everyone that I was black, I made no secret that math isn't my best subject.
Yet you drew attention to it? How do you not acknowledge something and yet draw attention to it? No wonder you approve of Core. I'd question your "data" in this case Noex. What we call "Chess" has had many different forms over the centuries and the game was played in different parts of the world. Were Chess played in only one country and it's confines "pure" (in a manner of speaking) then I would take your argument seriously. But I doubt that's the case. I know how much you enjoy using wikis so here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess#Origins_of_the_modern_game_.281000.E2.80.931850.29
Naturally. An intellectual will always find a way to keep his mind sharp. The only reason Chess has the acclaim it does is because it is a game of the Elite. Common people who play it only do so to feel they have a greater standing than they actually do. That wasn't a shot, simply Chess has only ascended in the manner it has because it was always a game of the upper class. I'm sure if the societal elite played Poker all day that would be considered an intellectual pursuit.
I didn't miss it my apprentice. Kaze-dono got into it with someone (probably you) about the issue in equating intellectual prowess to chess. There was also some feminist issues involved as well. The fact is once I lose interest in something it loses all value. I've told you this before. So while we very well may have had this conversation in the past, it becomes irrelevant the moment I lose interest in it. I'm sure chess is an intellectual sport, but would you have someone throwdown in a game of duel monsters simply because that too involves thinking?
I figured you would agree with him. You two are nauseatingly similar, no offense. I'll throw the dog a bone and play with him for a bit if I find his antics entertaining. However, my main concern is with individuals who are actually on my level, i.e., Kaze Araki. My more immediate aim is to try and end this Jihad my dear friend has started. You'll have to excuse me if I have little time for some ditz who comments on human nature and natural law yet has never read Rousseau or Locke.
No I haven't. For now the thread serves to entertain me. However the current discussion is a bore. It's funny you'd post this because I actually went to HLS because the Cherry Thread is once again a bore. TI? Someone new? Are you referring to that lame Chaos? I saw his weak shit.
I must say, it's actually pretty fun. And yes, I won't go inactive, also looking forward to joining other ones in the future. Thanks for inviting me (I think) =D
I was traveling for my job and they didn't requisition me a laptop before departure. So, I've been on the road with only my phone as a mean of internet access and when I broke it again they gave me a bs loaner phone with no internet access. It sucked ass balls!!!!
Well, if everything remains smooth, I doubt I will disappear for as long as last time. It's been dreadful not being online for more than a few minutes a day and having desktop or laptop available to me for personal use. My gmail inbox is ridiculous.
