[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 56587, member: 2020"] The site can handle threads of over 200 posts. Indeed, it won't be until after the 200th post of each thread that I call Time Out, then post my reply. Except for Turn 0, which will be shorter. I want to leave this thread going because Creamstreak has made an appeal, and I wish it to be heard. Williams, your idea about the links was really good. I have pasted it to my word processor, and will indeed include it in every new thread. Thanks much. Mr Draco, I suppose that was, indeed, an isolated example. Unfortunately, my parents played duplicate bridge tournaments, and - from the description of them - it was, well ... insane. I once walked in on a bridge tournament. It was at a science-fiction convention. I was the only person in the whole convention to do that ... the tournament happened to be held in the same hotel as the convention. I went to that tournament as a casual player. I had forgotten how to play bridge (I had even forgotten that only 3 people ultimately play out the hands.) I had, obviously, not brought a partner. And when I asked, do 3 or 4 people play this game, that must have sounded stupid! By sheer fortune, one of those coming to the tournament came without her partner, because her partner could not show, and she found out about it at the tournment. So I got a chance to actually play. We came in a close 3rd, out of 5. My partner didn't speak to me but once or twice. I think my partner was embarrassed badly. I play games casually. Bridge. Chess. Axis and Allies. Risk. Star Fleet Battles. Battletech. D&D. Gnomish Industrial Revolutions. :) I like to do wild things in games, chaotic things. This sometimes works well, and sometimes it doesn't work so well. [/QUOTE]
