Well this thread sure died. Thanks JJ27Pyth!


It seems odd that JJ27Pyth would want to stop a thread, that he can't stop readingLaughing

So, how do I look? JG says I look really bad. Is that true?

We must look worse to JG, because we won't shut up on command.Laughing

Yes, we won't shut up and respect the rights of people who make blonde jokes and call for mass extermination.  We should have just been deferential to tippy's vast network of intellectual properties from the off!

Worst thread ever. Really. You brave brave clever funny folks have ganged up quite mercilessly on creatip. That's sooo awesome. Wow. Way to go. It's always so impressive to see people gang up on someone. Then again, Creatip brought it on himself by early on making some nasty dismissive sexist remarks... and some of his later remarks, although provoked, have been quite ugly. In short, I declare this thread to be a complete disgrace to all involved. Everyone shut up before you make yourselves look worse... and you already look really really bad... 

Hello, moderator, over here!! Lock this thread, please!! *waves arms* OVER HERE!   LOCK IT DOWN!


I agree, take it down! I was quite polite at the beginning, believing that chess players are smart and educated, only to realize that, at least on this forum, there are mostly stupid teenagers covered in acnes. These disgusting illiterate cockroaches (that will be destroyed for the benefit of this planet) are unnecessarily poisoning my oxygen

So I'll make sure there'll be enough Zyklon B to take care of them inferior form/s of life  

and the grass will be greener ... 


I figured it would be someone like tip, who would agree with JG27PythLaughing

Tip does have that Joseph Mengele quality about him, which makes me believe...maybe...the sharks, should be in Nazi UFOs, which would explain how they got to Mongolia in the first placeLaughing

Hey just a tip there tip. You have to find us first.

Also, I used to think game inventors were smart and educated. You forced me to change my opinion.

It shows a lot of creativity and drive to come up with and put a game out there.  And the game was given recognition and that's great... but I think from the very beginning there were some big misunderstandings.

First off, it's kicks off with "My game BilliChess is more sophisticated and challenging than chess"  which you probably wouldn't have guessed but it pushed a few buttons right off the bat. 

First of all, for hundreds of years people have been adding rules, squares, and pieces to chess to make variants.  Sure it's more complicated by definition, but chess isn't master-able to start with so to actual players, it just comes off as gimmicks.

Second of all, chess players don't see chess as any other board game like conenct 4 or monopoly.  A creative inventive type like yourself probably sees no difference but there's a big difference to us.  You could spend a lifetime on endgames alone and never master them.  Chess ability goes very deep, and adding something a gimmicky as a laser and declaring it more complicated when you probably don't know a benoni from king's gambit is insulting.

Next you ask for a quote about how chess is the most intelligent or smartest board game.  Again you probably didn't realize, but this also pushes some buttons.  Chess doesn't equal smart, that's mostly a misconception non-chess players in the general public have.

So you basically burst in a room of chess players and shout "I know absolutely nothing about this game, but I've made it better and I think highly of myself."  Yeah you were polite, and I didn't except a feeding frenzy like this, but you brought it on more than you realize :)

Also coming back with more stereotypical stuff like acne covered baboons and I expected high IQs (I had to laugh at that stuff) and then saying we all deserve to die.  You're just as immature and at that point and you're really not going to see anyone let up.  We have a lot of forum trolls 'round here, and you've pretty much entrenched yourself as one of them -- so far.

Dr. Evil: You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have chess pieces with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have?
Number Two: BilliChess
Dr. Evil: [Pause]Right.
Number Two: Its mutated chess.
Dr. Evil: Is it ill-advised?
Number Two: Absolutely.
Dr. Evil: Oh well, that's a start.

in any medical institution u'd be considered an inferior ape good for medical experiments. Repeating ad nauseam "sharks, Nazi, UFO's" won't help yer mummy get for you a burial ...

as I said: you are inferior mammals and have to be destroyed. Period!


You seem to be maturing as the thread goes on, tip. And I suspect you have much more creative ideas for exterminating people than most. But, you're losing sight of the goal. Let me redirect you to the safety issues, which were brought up earlier by some very helpful posters. Can you guarantee no retinal damage will occur if we play "TaliBilliChess w/sharks and new laser/phaser attachments in Mongolia"? And does it come with batteries, or is that a separate purchase?

 I think this thread has proven the value of open-source designing over closed source.

Closed Source:  BilliChess.

Open Source: 

 DrEvilKillHillBillieGoatTalibaniPooBilliardBobLaserPhaserSharkCheeseChess.

Now I ask you, which one are you more likely to buy?   

 

Show Intel this, and you've won!

No doubt, open source seems to be the way to both get new, important ideas, and unleash your inner socio-pathSmile

I would definitely buy the latter, but insist on seeing a clear warning on the packaging: DO NOT ADD WATER!

The shark in their natural element problem is terribly vexing to me. I suppose he could also ship a SharkShield in the box, but then the product really is getting too expensive for most would-be consumers.

The chessplayers on this site also have a sense of humor, so when you came on here asking for advice for promoting your game "billichess" you were definitely asking for a lot of jokery. If you had responded in kind, everything may have been fine, but instead you responded with arrogant insults. Not a good way to get along with anyone, and certainly not with chessplayers on this site.

Why every newbie asking an innocent question has to be lynch by a herd of illiterate imbecilic baboons? 


I must insist that you retract and apologize for this.

Baboons collectively might be a flange, congress or troop, but never a herd, and this wording demeans our association.
