I would like to find a person to play a correspondence game, given that:
I will play most days. Although, sometimes, this may change for several days, it is not so common. I would like a person that is similar in this aspect, the most possible.
I like to talk, and this person MUST LIKE it too, then. We can talk about the places we live. About anything happening in them, or anywhere in the world. Talking about culture, society, politics, music, art, books, technology, personal life, etc. would also be good. Any subject is possibly welcome.
My language is portuguese (from Brasil). I know english very well too. Using other languages is something to discuss, to see if and how it could be possible.
You do not need to have a great formal knowledge in these languages to talk. If fact, if this happens because you live in a country of another language, outside of Brasil, or in a country where english is not the first language, I will have this as an extra reason to talk with you. I would like to have this chat with you.
The game is: no time rule; I expect that we finish it by counting, and if you prefer RESIGNS in games where the winner is clear, do not play with me; japanese rules; 19 Ć 19 board; automatic komi (I cannot use a chosen value, currently, in OGS settings to build up); I want black stones, but I can give you manual handicap, if our ranks justifies it; it will be a rated game.
Have I forgot to comment about any detail? Or do you have any doubt about my ideas?
I will send (privately) the invitation to the person I choose here, after I mention that here, and possibly discuss a bit about everything I wrote.
Right now (2025/03/26 18:53 UTC-3) you can see 4 answers that are completely unrelated to what I intend to do with this thread. I will not discuss OGS issues here. And I am not interested in opinions. Letās see if a person interested in playing a game with the things I described above appears. If you prefer, instead of answering here, you can send me a private message, and we talk there instead. I would not feel good talking in this thread, being the kind of person I am looking for. Do as you prefer.
I would suggest they must not only like to talk, they must like to talk WITH YOU. So a taster for mutual compatibility on the forums before committing to a long game and chat with you would be advised.
This is a great way to show off how nice and easy to talk with you are.
Your other threads have made me absolutely convinced Iām not interested in playing a game with you. Had I not read those threads, I mightāve easily considered the possibility, so thank you for pre-emptively solving that potential problem.
About the game, a good chat is also possible, but in a server which is very limitedā:globe_with_meridians: because you can easily bypass restrictions (and some people say this is āas designedāā¦ well, I can quickly design a car with square wheelsā¦ I wonder why it has not been done yet). Stupidity appart, meta comments about the games, move discussions, and all things to study and improve are nice. But in rated games we may want to keep some ideas, of part of them, out of the chat. This is not possible in this stupid server which does not store settings that should be global, but (as designed! They are not and never will be). Trashtalk: never. Teasing: probably not, besides friendly jokes, if the person has a good view toward them.
If your not offended by controversial opnions, you have no problems with an moslty influnce player and you dont mind being the one to mostly instigate to flow of conversations I am in.
). I know english very well too. Using other languages is something to discuss, to see if and how it could be possible.
