You know you are a Go addict when …

You cut the keima, you have the ladder
You cut the keima, you have the ladder
You cut the keima, you have the ladder
You turn
You turn
The moon is bright
An owl is calling
You cut the keima

This is happening to me recently, two rounds of the Meijin tournament started within something like a week of each other (2019 round 2 and 2020 round 1). I wasn’t really expecting it but now I don’t think I’m even seeing any of my games, just random ataris and captures and things. Too much go

I don’t usually do gallows humor, but…

You come to the forums to check your notifications real fast. You find you have none, decide to check the new threads while very much at work, and look up to see over an hour has passed. With zero personal awareness that you had even spent much time away from your intended tasks :sweat_smile:. You close your browser…

And then think of posting on this specific thread and open it back up for a quick post :crazy_face:

Isn’t “creating polls” implied as a subset of general forums tomfoolery?

when you’re working on tsumego and finally understand what Karl Popper, the philosopher of science, really meant when he famously said,

In so far as we can speak about a group being dead in reality, at least one of its two apparent eyes must be false-eye-ifiable.
