I really like getting so much information, but right now I'm feeling overwhelmed.
I'm feeling pressure to understand your replies, which I don't (mostly).
You don't have to understand anything now. By the end of this game you will understand a lot.
I'm anxious to do something stupid as my next move, and everyone goes "Didn't she read my post?? I won't write again!".
You are a beginner. We expect you to make bad moves. You are not stupid. We will not think that your bad moves are stupid.
I'm not sure if it is better (less confusing for me) to make a move, or try to understand all your posts first.
Move first, ask questions later. (If you want to.) By the time this game is over you will understand what we have written today.
Please keep in mind that I'm not familiar with go lingo:
By "attack elsewhere" I meant "play in a different corner or side to threaten to make territory there".
In go any reasonable move makes territory or threatens to do so (maybe much later). So we don't call plays attacking plays unless they threaten the opponent's stone or stones. Kirby's play,
, was just a play. Your play,
, attacked
. Not that you can immediately kill or capture it, but the threat is there to do so eventually.
I am attacking?? Oops. It felt like I was defending...
That is mainly psychological. Because you start off with a big lead, you should take the attitude that you are attacking (though some moves will be exceptions).
I know how to make move numbers in the forum diagrams.
However, I want to try variants of our game in an editor, and Chrome Web Go Board seems to be the only one compatible with Eidogo.
However, whenever I place a new stone there, all the move numbers are deleted, which means I have to enter all of them again. Ideas?
But if I edit the diagram manually, there might be no need to upload?
In this format, there is no need to upload a file, just edit the diagram to add a stone. As for go editors, I don't know about Chrome, but the ones I know about can be configured to keep track of the numbers automatically.

While it is very helpful to see them, I don't want to copy suggestions, but I'm feeling bad if I don't (refusing good moves).
Advice how to deal with that?
The purpose of this game is pedagogical. We want you to learn.
Including Kirby.
So if we give you ideas you can use, so much the better. Feel free.
Don't worry. You are in no danger of winning this game.
