>> How do we propose graphics for inclusion in the set? I have been modifying some of the alfaerie graphics for some of the diagrams I have made on my computer, and I think they could be useful.

Please email them to me, and I will consider them for the next expansion set! Just click on my name and mail to the displayed email address. Thanks!

re: emailing all cvp members

I do have a list, and would be willing to send out an email (probably
emails, since I'd have to break it up into sections). I try not to send
emails out very often, but am willing to do so in this case. Just let me
know what you'd like to be in the email. Thanks!

I'd be willing to spend $100 or so.

Try this:

Looks like it may be that the cause is the .htaccess file. I will look
into it.

Should be fixed now. There is currently no way for users to rename a
thread. If you want one renamed, let me know and I can make the change.

We are going to be changing hosting services, so please be prepared for an
interruption of activities on this site. We will be suspending activities
on this site starting Monday, December 22, 2008 at 10am EST. Hopefully, a
few hours later, the site will be active again under a new hosting
service. Thanks for your continuing patience! Best, David Howe

David -- what error are you getting? I just uploaded an image and edited the contents of my sample game page, and didn't get any errors. Please make sure you are using the links with the text:

'If you are the author of this page, your may edit index information or edit the contents of this page. You may also, if your page uses graphics, upload files.'

Thanks!

Hi Mats, you are not being ignored. I process email once a week (on
Mondays), so I hadn't read your email yet. I have deleted the external
link for Regiment Random Chess, so you can try again. Sorry for the buggy
software and slow response time. Please remember, this site is all
volunteer driven, so 'customer service' sometimes lapses a bit.

One of our loyal readers has written to tell us that there is a shareware (Windows) version of this game available at: 

http://www.vector.co.jp/soft/dl/win95/game/se094801.html

It is all in Japanese however.

Click on the download link (ƒ_ƒEƒ“ƒ[ƒh) for the game.

To play against the computer, choose the second option from the first menu.

Mats, what browser and OS are you using?

It's always nice to hear John William Brown's name mentioned. He is a true innovator and I highly recommend his book Meta-Chess to any chess variant designer. Adjectives for the book: well thought out, imaginative, innovative, and methodical! One of these days I'm going to get my copy of Meta-Chess bound as a hardcover (it is currently comb-bound).

On that note, I will also say that I do not know if and when his updated edition of Meta-Chess is coming out. Anyone out there know?

Sorry about the delays Mats. I am back in school and things are very busy
for me. I will try to get to this in the next few days. Sorry it's so
frustrating for you. Keep in mind, this site does not have any paid staff.
Just volunteers.
