suggest a move | suggest a taunt | vote | the discussion
The Challenge
"Holy crap! The League of Awesomeness says that any chess game started during a show has to be played all the way through! You've inadvertently challenged me to Fabuloso Chess. You have to make your first move by Sunday midnight. The LOA says that the stakes of this game are yet to be determined. You might want to contribute your ideas. I'm gonna kick your ass." - 06-23-06
The Stakes
Ze has accepted our stakes - 06-30-06
- If we win (and have you seen the chess game discussion? We are so going to whip his ass):
- The Show: Unplugged - YES! "At least 10 minutes of Ze and a guitar performing songs." By popular vote, thanks to Ann for the winning suggestion!
- If we lose (psh, yeah if):
- Fabulosos and Sports Racers have collectively pledged a TOTAL of: $245.47 to purchase a book from his Amazon Wish List!
- We can afford The Psychology of Humor: A Reference Guide and Annotated Bibliography ($131.95): sounds stimulating! maybe he'll let us borrow it when he's done!
Note! Please do not hesitate to continue to pledge! If possible, we can bring down the amount of money everyone needs to contribute, or even purchase a few more books from his wish list!

- Quick, make a powermove to stop the game! (or add an ingenius comic twist to it!)

FAQ
Q: How do we know we are playing with Ze?
A: We don't, it could be his kitty or Deep Fritz, and there was nothing in the rules that forbid him asking a grandmaster for advice either.
Q: Won't Ze be able to read all our strategies?
A: Currently there is nothing in this wiki that a freeware chess engine won't detect in 10 seconds. Unless you want to post something that analyses 18+ plies (at least 9 moves) ahead, there is no use for Ze reading it, and even then that analysis is half a move too old to be useful for him. It is important to understand that you don't win these kinds of games by trapping or surprising the opponent. You win by doing a deeper analysis at each move so that you are more likely to become aware of favorable deviations from previously analysed lines before your opponent.
Q: Who's playing white?
A: That would be Ze. Poop!!
Q: What do we do if the voting is deadlocked??? Go Fuck Ourselves?!?
A: Sure... then wash your hands and come discuss it here.

The board showing the current position is incorrect.
It's fixed.
Well .. that does it for me. If anyone really cares .. I may lurk a bit, but I'm tired of all the fighting and arguing that has started since serveral individuals have showed up. They manipulate, name-call, and turned something that was organized and fun into a raging uphill battle, and continue to cause more problems than not until things are the way THEY like it. I'd also like to note that they have nothing to lose, as they have not pledged a single dollar to the losing fund.
Even if we win, we end up losing. This was supposed to be a 'collaborative, fun' experience, and the few have ruined it for the some of the rest of us (Those founding individuals that spent tens of hours building this up to what it was; before they decided that they didn't like it and wanted to change). Just review the voting pages from the past and see who is no longer contributing and/or voting anymore. Read the comments about all the 'normal' non-chess and/or non-wiki afficianados that have dropped off since this has begun.
Thanks to those that tried to make this fun for everyone. Take care all. ßrigaderant 21:39, 13 July 2006 (PDT)
lol @ "tens of hours." Get over yourself, schlossrigade.
- I came here just to blow some hot air a few moves ago, but I was so impressed by the fabulosiness of everyone that I made real comments on the moves. I'm 100% in 3 moves. I rigged it! HA! As if! Anyways, where's the fighting? Brigade had the most agressive comments out of anyone, so I don't get it. What's this about? BTW, the discussions are very cool! I can't even decide how to scratch myself, yet they (we) decide on moves, voting, ties all within the span of mere hours. V 07:53, 14 July 2006 (PDT)
