on resigning

when you resign (which i have been getting some practice in) it would be nice if your message could be posted in the opponents resign game file message since he probably wont look at the game proper again and this is the most common time to send a message (of congratulations).

I agree, I qwuite often say things when resigning but I think that nobody ever reads them as I've only ever had one reply :-(

I agree, I have been just playing out games a little longer without resigning lately, just to send the last comments and congratulations.

perhaps just playing a bad move and then resigning would be easier than having to code things differently?

or the smoothest thing would be for the last message to be included in the 'game end' message.

I've made it a point to look at the final position, just in c ase there is a message, but it would be nice if I didn't have to.

When should a player resign, My only hope, is that I can find the strength of character somewhere inside myself to ask the question which lies at the heart of why there is a 'they' to come for me at all...why, in the end, it has finally come to this for me, as for countless others. No! I couldn't even think about that possibility. I think that when you can't Stop The Bleeding or maybe the other way around, you are out of the loop, with no way to get a message to the Circle. My only hope was to find a way to get my oponent to deliver the message himself. The only answer I can give you is via a colloquialism of the time…'you just had to be there'. I would 'Shoot the Moon' with a hand incapable of winning a single trick and watch our opponents wail in despair as they struggled in a futile battle where all they could do was watch my dumfounded partner capture trick upon trick with a hand he or she would have been a fool to bid on. They would watch in a state of numbed disbelief as the impossible was transformed-by the divine alchemy of Lady Luck-into the inevitable. But the Council of Darkness had remained unequivocal on this point. The Final Battle would not be set in motion until victory was guaranteed. No potential impediment, regardless of how small or insignificant it seemed, would be allowed to stand in the way of the absolute consummation of the Evil One's grand design. The Dark Council's dictum was loud and clear. The Circle of Eunuchs must be proven, beyond shadow of a doubt, to be a myth of a madman, or they must be sought out and destroyed before the trumpet would blare and the opening salvo of Armageddon would begin.

"Forget not, what you have seen and heard in these few preceding days. Be not afraid to speak of the things you have seen and heard, to those who have ears to hear-even though it will lead to others labeling you a fool, spreading fables for the dim of wit."

"Pick up the torch which has been passed to you, and hold it high, though it's burden may cause you to stumble and fall, and though others around you may give up, in despair. For you are the Author, the Hacker, and the Fool-and you are the GrandMaster who stands guard over the souls of all humankind, across the face of the whole earth, and beyond."

"For as long as their is a spark, there is hope. As long as their is a myth, then the myth can be made real, through faith, hope, belief-and action."
