It's not public, though, it's Friends Only, so you might need to add Ali Jabarin to see it.

While I like that the app is there, that auto-renewal subscription revenue model is kinda shady.
What made you go with a subscription model at all?

And why not have people have to choose to renew the subscription instead of being charged automatically?

That's quite good, Phelan. And not just for Go, either.

I think it's used a lot in meditation, and probably came from there at some point. I don't really remember where I saw that, if it was in Senseis, or some meditation article.

I have a dilemma somewhat related to Robert's "Oxygen" thread.

Oddly enough, I often stop breathing while reading in live games. I have no idea why, but suspect I am just over-focused, to the point of shutting down this "involuntary" reflex. This causes me intense headaches at tournaments. These ...

One of the things I do to calm down during a game of go is to breathe slowly and consciously, and focus on my breathing. If you make it a habit, it might might supersede the breath holding instinct you have?

I'm not sure, as I haven't gotten that effect to that point, just shallow breathing. The ...

I shall admit I liked this one the least - I had hoped that the fourth video would serve to tie up loose ends from the previous three. But no matter. It's interesting enough.

More importantly, what happens to these videos now?
I believe these are teaser for the main video they are doing, which is ...

I don't get what the purpose of your question is. If you are interested in the matter enough, you can find out a lot about it, either from the people that participate, or from the development of the WAGC site over the years.

Also, and I hope I'm not offering too much personal info, but dankenzon ...

For a long time, Go used to be the top rated game on boardgamegeek.
I think this has been a long long time ago, no? How long was it, and where did you see those numbers?

Because I've always saw Go in the general rating outside of the top 10.
The best rated games there are usually euro-style games ...

Some notes aside:
since the last 3-4 years, the overall organization has improved a lot in the WAGC.

They have this template and had added faster selected games uploads and more up-to-moment results.

So we can really have a close real-time idea what's going on.

How do you know all this? And ...

Also, I've seen some negative comments on the video, but it spoke to me of the butterflies I get in my stomach after a Go Tournament. When I leave the venue, I feel elated about the game, and want to dedicate myself fully to it again.

Sure, for a lot of players this doesn't happen, and for a lot of ...

Dear all,

and here is the last one.

Enjoy!

All go players carry white stones in their pockets to give to people on any occasion.

Interesting device.

I like the teaser feel of these. Nah. That phrase in bold is completely ridiculous.











The ones I carry are black. :p

I'd just like to resurrect this thread to say that the representative image for Go has been changed on BGG, after the matter was brought up to the admins.
This is now the new image:

Pippen, you said you had made 2-3 remarks like the example you posted. Did the admin inform you of the rules against sexist language and give you a warning before the ban? Had you been warned on other occasions for inappropriate language or breaking other rules? Was this your first KGS offence ...

Thanks for the pages, and good luck with the event!
