I Want To Play Mafia BUT NOT YET AND i enjoy a Game Of Chess

To whom it may concern,

My granddaughter invited me to this website to play mafia together as we play board games games together and she thought I might enjoy playing an excellent game of social skill, and deduction, and deception, with her and some of her online friends on the internet. For privacy and security reasons I will not be unveiling my granddaughter's identity but she will recognise my presence on the site via my usage of my real old name from the real world (but please do not use it to stalk me, as I am concerned about privacy and security whilst using the internet).

However, whilst perusing your good forum I found myself vastly intimidated by these games of mafia online. Some very scary players called Errantparabola and schadd_ intimidated me and I don't think I can bring myself to play a game of mafia. Maybe not yet. But this brings me to the closing statement of this sad tale: I happen to be an excellent CHESS PLAYER. I have been looking for an outlet to play CHESS since my untimely permanent ban from chess.com and chessbase.com for being too good at CHESS.

To boost my familiarity with your website and encourage me to find the courage to play mafia would anybody like to engage me in a game of CHESS?

Greetings Gregory! (I'm a sucker for some alliteration :lol:),

I would be happy to play some chess with you! Mafia is very intimidating. I've tried to get into it but I was also bullied by the likes of despicable users such as Schadd and Errant Parabola. I think a game of chess would be really neat! I like to hang out in the game room in my retirement home every morning, hoping someone would swing by and play a game with me! I remember when I was first introduced to the game of Chess! The year was 1953, and I had just been dishonorably discharged from the navy! What a memory.

Do you want to play?

To whom it may concern,

Absolutely amazing alliteration, amigo! (You may not be familiar with the word "amigo" as it does not appear in the English language, which appears to be your native language. It is used to address or refer to a friend, chiefly in Spanish-speaking North American areas. I picked the word up back in 1976, whilst on a bus tour of Spanish-speaking North American areas.

But I digress: I would gladly accept your proposal to play a game of Chess.

As an aside, how did you come to possess such an elegant visage beneath your username, and the text indicating your social status as a "Townie"?

To whom it may concern,

Whilst I am grateful for your swift response to my proposal to play a game of CHESS, I am somewhat surprised by your breach of International CHESS Etiquette. As I am the one who made the proposal, I must insist that the first turn belongs to me.

Now hold your horses! Usually an invitation would mean that I'm the guest! Don't you think that as a guest, I should get to make the first move?

To whom it may concern,

As a symbol of our blossoming friendship, I have procured an "AVATAR" (not to be confused with the James Cameron motion picture of 2009; my personal favorite motion picture of the twenty-first century. It changed my life forever). I have selected the visage of the Village People, in honour of your previously-indicated positive experiences with the same band.

[quotation="In post 7, Old Man Sam"]Now hold your horses! Usually an invitation would mean that I'm the guest! Don't you think that as a guest, I should get to make the first move?[/quotation]

As a first order of business: I am not currently in possession of a horse.
As a second order of business, I have never encountered that rule of CHESS etiquette, prior to your electronic telegram contained within post number 7, of this thread, except for once. Whilst visiting Vanuatu in the early 2000s, a gentleman from Malta insisted that I take the first turn for having accepted his proposal. Per chance, do you hail from Malta or Vanuatu?

It appears that we are at an impasse, though. How would you suggest that we remedy this?

I do not understand why my quotation tags have failed.

I believe that I am entitled to the first move, so I shall make that first move! I do not however, hail from either of those countries!

To whom it may concern,

Your failure to initiate the CHESS tag correctly prompts me to, once more, endeavor to make the first move.

Why don't we settle this with a coin flip? I just flipped a coin! It landed on heads. That means I can go first!

To whom it may concern,

Regrettably, I cannot accept non-provable randomness. For I have just flipped a coin, and found that it has landed on its tails side (as the younger generations say, the probability of tails failing is proportionately low). For clarity's sake, I wish to add that I used one United States Nickel, issued in 2013.

Thank you Ircher!

Original Roll String: 1d6
1 6-Sided Dice: (3) = 3


It's a shame the tags didn't adjust for me! After all, I was only using a single die!

This appears to be a grammatical inconsistency. I only wish to roll a single die, and not multiple dice.
