Since I could foresee a scenario where the game will grind to a halt, I’d like to propose the following addition to the rules to prevent several weeks of waiting for the minimum stone counter to creep up, in the potential case that this may occur. These rules are of course open to discussion, and only a suggestion of how to play the endgame more smoothly.
If you disagree with this idea, you don’t have to do anything differently, as “playing as normal” will make sure none of the things above will come into effect in the game.
I think that’s a good rule proposal. What do the other players think?
How do you all want this game to play out?
I think these rules are all reasonable, so it’s a yes for me.
@PiggyStardust,
@yebellz and
@Haze_with_a_Z placed their first choice.
@le_4TC and
@Leira collided with their first choice, and
@Leira collided again with their second choice with a stone placed as a first choice, while
@le_4TC passed for their second choice.
@Leira’s third choice is a pass as well.
The stones at G8 and at
C1 are both an old stones without liberties, and thus are removed from the board.

Alas, our culture is no more.
Suppose that the Star Kingdom will become deserted and only the foundations of its buildings remained, future generations will find it hard to believe that this Kingdom once dominated a quarter of the known world. On the other hand, if one were to compare them to the ruins of Cochineal, one would conjecture from what met the eye, that it was four times as powerful as it was.
Your culture and heroic death will be remembered in the odes of our bards, but it’s foolish to think that the stars have their foundations on the ground, and preposterous that the dead dare speak. Begone spirit, lest your memory be cancelled from our annals.
