<edit, a few days later>
Below, now hidden, is my first idiotic knee-jerk reaction. It was a total mistake. Please see my comment further down for my apology and explanation.

Click “show” only if you want to add to my embarassment.

That doesn't seem very fair to me, Bonobo. The poster is a member of this community, made a little web game, and wanted to share it. I don't see anything wrong with their post (except perhaps that it could have included a little more information).

No, I was not.

Hi dfan,

It seems in this case, unfortunately, different platforms can give vastly different first impressions...

Embarrassment continued … pls scroll further down.

Of course I followed the link … those offers of Tsumego collections for sale reminded me strongly of those I’ve seen posted by a notorious blogspammer I’ve seen <cough> elsewhere </cough>. Always offers a bit here, a bit there, then links to … purchase Tsumego collections. Links in games, links in forums (fora? I think forae, because “in”), etc., etc., many user names, different blogs, same stuff.

Maybe it’s just me, idiosyncratic b/c involved in a few different Go communities. My sincere apology if I’d (unexpectedly) be mistaken.

Is that real money or in-game fake money?

[dfan]

It is in-game fake money used to purchase in-game fake equipment and in-game fake books to increase your in-game fake strength.

You are right. I will get 1.000.000 Dollars from this game because i sell Tsumego collections EVERYWHERE!!!??? And i have a lot of names in 1.000 other forums and 1.000.000.000.000 other blogs!!!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????????????????????????????????????????????????

Not spam at all. It's a simple game based on trying to improve at go.

I found it enjoyable, thank you Dragonstone

@Dragonstone,
please accept my apology.
I think (actually hope/wishful thinking) I’m not such an idiot usually.

I didn’t realise that those Tsumego etc. there were PART OF THE GAME You should’ve heard me curse when I realised it …

I’ve already explained above why I reacted so idio(syncra)tically, co-moderating a Go place where one certain character repeatedly posted blog spam to their diverse URLs, selling Tsumego etc. collections.

I believed that the game was just a trick to lure people there and on order to SELL those Tsumego etc. collections in the lower part of the window.
I jumped to conclusions without verifying this, and now I realise that those buttons are part of the game (which, BTW, I find enjoyable now that I tried it; earning lots on ¥¥ in the other tab.).

I am sorry. I’m embarrassed. It was a totally stupid mistake to quickly and wrongly accuse you, and I made a fool of myself. I do have an explanation for why I didn’t spend time to verify my suspicion but … not an excuse. Sorry.

p.s.: Maybe I can atone for it just a little bit by posting the link to the FB Go group.
