Listen, strange women lyin' near trees distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. That said, if you do pull it from a stump I'm not going to try and take it from you.
Get Carrot Cake!. Tasty and healthy.
Pretty good. Using it much more and noticed a pretty good uptick in other posting stuff since I created my account.. I'd say I have two feet in the door to a new home. . Edited to clean up as was typing initial response on the go.
Thanks to everyone who participated.
This was an open game of Chess where the top legal comment directly to the post decided the next move. The game also included Knooks who stood in for Kingside bishops who went on vacation at the start of the game.
Like how the Queen can move like a Bishop or a Rook, A Knook can move like a Knight or a Rook and it has the Algebraic notation symbol of O. On the board, it looks like they have a K tattoo. Pawns can also promote to Knooks.
Posts also contained placeholder moves put there by me because the show must go on and i’ll remove my own vote, so anyone else making a move would be higher ranked than mine immediately after its published. Placeholder moves can be upvoted and downvoted like any others.
Arbiters Note: Black is well ahead. Analysis from the current position leaves few possibilities.
Ne4 can be immediately captured by either the pawn or the Horsey
Of1# is a main threat. With nothing else able to capture the Knook, the only valid defence would be to move the King.
Ke1 results in mate in 1 via Of1#
This leaves only Kd2 and Kf2.
Kf2 isnt a major advantage as King cannot capture either Knook or Horsey and a Rook capturing the Knook would be captured the move after by the Horsey. Kd2 doesnt look much different.
If people wish to continue, they could host a game over at https://lemmy.world/c/anarchychessgaminglounge
I also made another community for developers to talk about projects and adding AnarchyChess rule implementations to real games at https://lemmy.world/c/anarchychessdevelopers
This game came about because i wanted to try and hack up a game with Knooks as a fork from Dreamchess, an open source Chess game with 2D and 3D boards and pieces. I succeeded and called the project "DreamyDesktop" there is a repository at https://github.com/PossibleEmuWrangler/AnarchyChess-DreamyDesktopPrototype .
That repository contains functional code i downloaded and verified on a Raspberry Pi 400 but i consider it in sunset mode and will get around to putting those updates in a true fork of Dreamchess at https://github.com/PossibleEmuWrangler/AnarchyChess-DreamyDesktop
If there is interest, i would consider hosting another game here, this one would be on a move a day cycle with "fixed" times of each side having roughly 12 hours to move and variance to give me flexibility to update.
Adding more rules like il vaticano and Knight boosting would be considered although the rules would be locked in before the game starts. It wouldn't kick off for atleast a week.
People would be encouraged to take a side and play on that side for the duration of the game.
Leave a comment if you would be interested.

Its not just the subreddit, ive noticed a change across the wider site. I suspect quite a few 3rd party app users have gone for a vacation, never came back.

Thanks for keeping us updated. FYI i noticed an issue there was an error message saying to check (the matix) and (somewhere else, Lemmy community support?). Both of them pointed to the same URL, but im sure they were meant to point to different places.
Edit. Happed again and I took notes. Both point to lemmy.ml community support
I heard it was ostriches. Allegedly.
I thought of writing a reply over there and maybe they'd get something out of it, but i think anything said will fall on deaf ears. It would have been short and maybe been more for my benefit then theirs by getting some feelings out (edit: Can of worms opened & were off...).
I joined up on Reddit to interact with some nerds, i thought they were funny. It really helped me get through some trying times, especially watching "The game" and looking forward to its daily updates. Im sad it didnt finish. After the subs mod asked for more mods, i put my hand up and helped out for a bit with another new mod. This mod who asked was effectively running the place.
The active, long time mod sought to gain the top mod position as there were other mods who were doing tens of actions a month while they and the new mods were doing thousands. Reddit knocked the request back saying they counted as active. It was things like approving posts that didnt need to be approved and unstickying posts.
Without going into intermod drama, the active long time mod left and i followed shortly after. I had been spending many hours in the sub, getting rid of spam etc and something hit one day after the ad-free time from a platinum i was gifted ran out and i started seeing ads. I felt that Reddit giving active mods a free premium was the least they could do. I was seeing how much time i spend in the app and had other things to do.
I think Reddit has lost something, it feels different and likely the 3rd party apps have lead to a lot of key contributors leaving. After that kicked off I started putting one foot out the door over there and now i'd say ive got two out. I might stilll drop in sometime, but by will to create has completely gone. And I'm annoyed how r/blind was treated.
I wont be participating in place although i did for place 22 and found it fun. I will be curious about the results though and if someone goes to place extra pixels again. I know they are pushing for an IPO and think it will end up different to however anyone envisaged it happening in January.
I'm happy with Lemmy and this instance and will try my best to be a good participant here in recognition of donated server time and it being run as a hobby. Thanks lemmy.world admins for running and hosting and being open and honest about policies and events.
If anyone has any coins they want to dump, r/GoForGold has reopened for challenges.
If you want to get rid of them quickly, a challenge could be like "first 5 commenters get a platinum", you could award a community award. GoForGold have a 5,000 coin "Golden Bracelet Award" which gives 1,000 coins to mods to give out on behalf of the sub. (10,000 also gives them 1,000 so 5,000 is better value. same for the 40,000 coin award, only giving 4,000 to community). The GoForGold mods have a summer bonanza lined up and i think they'll find a way to make use of all community awarded coins.
If you want to get rid of them efficiently, the timeless beauty award gives the awardee 100 coins to spend and the community.
Giving a gold medal gives the recipient a week of ad-free browsing and giving a platinum gives a month of ad-free browsing.
On the new scheme, A while ago i had Reddit app installed and noted there was an option for a "vault" in the menu bar where you could share stuff with other people, it needed a sign up for something else and i didn't look further into it, but think it could be related.
Since all the 3rd party stuff kicked off, Reddit feels different. Also i noted they kicked up a stink saying that DNDMemes and NCD were both SFW when people joined and its unfair that mods changed it to NSFW. When i signed up i could award people coins and without a replacement scheme out for us to judge it feels a bit hypocritical.
Where's the Brick?
I wonder what Alan Turing would think of this.
