A good example is poker and chess; Chess is a game that has aquired many books around the theory of chess as there are so many different aspects to it and theory keeps changing. However all the most advanced knowlage in poker can be noted on a single A4 sheet of paper. With Poker however anyone can play it due to the much lower skill cap and games of it last much shorter so it's ideal for large companies to invest money into it to make money out of it. But with chess there is very little uncertainity and it is purely skill based so it is much harder to make dissilusioning profits from it; as a result there is less investment by companies into it and there are far less chess players than poker players (I'm a chess player but we simply rent out a pub hall once a week whilst there are whole casinos dedicated to poker)

Thanks for reminding me. Tomorrow we can begin the wolfpack sponsered teaching den idea for the newer players.

Ought to be fun.

This needs to go to live chat... at least a version.

Can you imagine my own little subset of the forums though? We'd throw the bad ones into it.

A very interesting observation, and I fully agree with it.

As for this game being old (unless you mean Risk) - I disagree. It's been around for less than 2 years. The game Kingdom Rush, which I've mentioned above, is at least that old. In the end, a game's popularity is in direct correlation with the amount of development resources being put into it.

I totally agree and even more about your comment with the amount of development resources being put into it... I've already commented that in a less diplomatic way.

Lol, wrote a rage thread targeted at Lopdo?

This is starting to look a little megalomaniac!

Hehe yeah I don't mind it though, keeps people playing for money away from playing chess

If you mean they second part, I was referring to the idea of some chat rooms going live (as mentioned in feature requests. If you were referring to the first part, that will help is to recruit, trim the stupidity of noobs a bit, and most importantly, it will give calle something to do.

Lol, yeah, I meant the second part (I should've been a little bit more clear about that and only quote that part).

Anyway, I was just kidding anyway.

And now, as I always do on every forum, I would like to announce my 2000th and final post.

I hope I have made a decent impact and that you will remember me well... And I will miss you of course. But alas, this is my rule.

So goodbye... It's been great.

By the way, one last thing before I go... I just want to tell you all that I'm joking about leaving...
