you guys are awesome, great job organizing this, definitely makes me proud to be @ teh_OKP
damn, zoot…nice job…
glad to see this all coming to together…
i’ll be there…or maybe i’ll be square…
meh…i’ll see ya’ll there!!
yes! we can watch through yahoo! great job zoot. this is a work of pure genius.
see you guys monday on yahoo!
The reason I should not be playing: I don’t know what castling is.
it’s where your rook and king swap places.
this chess thing with mike should make national news. i mean think about it. a member of one of the biggest touring bands in american music history is sitting down to play chess against a message board. the power of the internet! yes, i’m probably still drunk.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!
^
only 1 day away…!
btw, famus i just now noticed your signature. i love it!
::wakes up with a slight hangover:: So did we win yet??
sorry no update on the gametime yet… i guess people are going to have to check in tomorrow afternoon for the exact time. i did fill in the secondary moderator (willb) and the chat signal (“whip” sound effect - icc requested this one specifically to reign in you unrully bastards).
also, just occured to me that it might be cool if everyone tuned into livephish radio during the game so that we’re all jammin to the same soundtrack.
aight so we just got an email from betty. I’m only posting it so that you all can see it ASAP
Hi Zack,
Mike will be able to play tomorrow night at 9pm (Monday, April 17th) via
Pogo games, not Yahoo.
Please set up an account over there and let us know the group’s screen
name…
Thanks
so i dont know how pogo games works…the website is pogo.com i already set up an account, which is once again “okpchess”
the game starts at 9pm. hopefully zoot will read this or hte email and know what to do. cuz i have no idea if you can view games on pogo or how to, it looks rather confusing to me. IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW POGO WORKS PLEASE RESPOND AND GIVE A DESCRIPTION OF HOW PEOPLE CAN WATCH OR HOW WE CAN REEQUEST A GAME W/ A PERSON (MIKE)?
thanks famus… i’ll mess around with it before i crash tonight… hopefully its similar to yahoo. i’ll let you guys know.
edit: ok i’ve updated the viewing instructions above… i’ve posted a link so that people can create an account. once you’ve logged in it should be pretty easy for people to find the game… just follow the steps above.
please take a minute to review the logistics before you head into the game/chat tomorrow. thanks -zhr
this is EXCELLENT news. count me in. i won’t be anywhere other than at my computer tonight!
GREAT job by all involved.
unfortunately i wont be home til 930-945, so hopefully the game will still be goin on, and i can pop in and see how its goin!
fingers crossed for a nice long chess game(X)
shit now thati htink about that games usually dont last that long! fuccccck
not a bad idea at all. i will definitely do this!
Just want to also thank those who got this together! This is gonna be the shite! Looks like I’m gonna have to end practice early tonight, or hope for more rain! I can’t miss this! I think I’m all registered on the pogo.com site, although it says that it’s not in a game room or somethin’ like that. Anyone want to enlighten a computer-illiterate person as to whether or not I’m good to go?
Again, mass kudos to Zoot and the rest of the OKP for making this happen!
9pm, but thats Bauer Hour!
after doing some research on pogo.com here’s the steps for viewing hte game:
[color=red][size=150]- once you are registered, add “okpchess” to your “friends list”
- once you have added the okp account your friends list will give you the location of our table
- when you have located the table simply push the “watch” button to view the game
- there is a chat at the bottom of the board. i don’t see any problem with people saying a quick hello to mike, but please don’t abuse this function. (use the okp chat as your main communication with eachother)
- any extremely negative comments directed toward mike will result in you being kicked and banned from the table.[/size]
edit: i didnt see that zoot had alreayd posted instructions on how to watch, and since they were more specific and seasier to follow than mine, i changed mine to basically copy his instructions
word, i got my account all set up, see y’all AND MIKE @ 9PM
all right,9 oclock. This is more motivation for me to get my terribly interesting art paper written NOW! sooo excited! Lata…
alright I am signed up. From reading the thread it seems like 9:00-9:30 is when this is going down, correct?
awesome. I can’t wait just to say hello to mike
