Has no one noticed the fact that it is at times impossible to castle with this iteration of computer chess opponent?

Hello again my good gentlemen. It seems that all of my previous posts were misplaced, along with this one.

At any rate, here is the new entry about the phenomenon known as Steampunk. Please continue to converse about this interesting subject.

Oh gosh, I dare say!
Google this "Steampunk" and bask in the glory of that electrified guitar. If this guitar was available for a common gentleman like me i would pay good cash for it

My fellow Gentlemen, I propose to you a list of rules for this fine club. The rules are as follows:

1. Gentlemen use grammar, this means sentence structure, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization of proper nouns. Minor mistakes won't get you banned at first, but repeat the offense and you will be exiled.
2. The use of offensive images will be taken down if found unlawful by the /gent/ user base, this also covers memes, motivators, and gore. It is up to you to figure out what is acceptable in this board and what is not.
3. If you are found to be using this board as you would the random board you will be banned from both. Speaking of child snatching, illegal drugs, or use of personal army requests will be frowned upon, banned and deleted.
4. Do not post links here unless you are sure that the user base will not find it offensive, this means no myspace or facebook links, no tinyurl links, and of course no links to pornographic images.If a link is used more than once after being deemed inappropriate it will be blacklisted.
5. Use the report button to make your friendly neighborhood peace keepers job that much easier, real gentlemen do not sage or bump threads.

How to report: Notice, to the left of each post there is a check box, if you wish to report then click the check box and head straight to the bottom of the board, there you will find a report button. Click the report button to bring this to a peace keepers attention, do not post anything pertaining to the offense just wait and it will be handled.

Sorry to offend your intelligence but this is just to make sure some of our "newer" users can at least be a functioning member of our gentlemen like society.
If you fine fellows have anything to say, good or bad, about the rules lain out before you, please do not hesitate. Know this though, any post not pertaining to this subject will be deleted. Persistence will result in a ban.

If the OP of said post starts to sage their own post, then they should delete the thread. Plain and simple. If you cleared your cookies, then ask that a moderator delete it for you.

Greetings my friends,

frowning upon coffee, I've come to appreciate a few good cups of tea each day.
But despite abandoning the roasted bean for it's rather plump nature as an easily available means to an end [and to a lesser extent, certain musings on the implications concerning its healthyness], I find that I am still far from the tea culture I seek.
Admittedly, my means are as humble as my knowledge and so I do seek your advice and guidance to actually and properly explore world of tea.

My friends,
I recently entertained guests and served hazelnut Turkish Delight as a Hors D'oeuvre. The guests quite obviously enjoyed it completely, seeing as the plate was empty within the hour. This gathering has made me wonder, can certain "candies" be gentlemanly?

The enclosed image is related to my post, as it is Turkish Delight; but of a different variety.
>> No. 11180 ID: ab5be9
I have partaken of this delight only on one occasion, a really memorable trip to Istanbul to visit a fellow gentleman last fall. Truly, I should say this is the most gentlemanly of candies, after English toffee, of course.

A gentleman would be remiss without a packet of Sen Sen in his pocket, which is not only enjoyable but freshens the breath.

I say this new Sherlock Holmes movie looks rather entertaining. I sure hope that he lives up to my expectations.

I do declare gentlemen that this Sherlock Holmes motion picture might not be as to par to our more modern victorian appreaches to suck matter. The great Sir Jeremy Brett was a far more capable actor fir for this role though miss the face he has passed on. Despite this i fell it will be a smashing motion picture on the cinema. I pray fear though that Sir Downey II's acting as Mr Holmes will not be up to par.

By Jove

My utmost and sincere apologies. I have partaken to join this conversation in a least mannerly form. My lack of good spelling is also due to the dastardly overuse of this "I" "M" messenger. The lack of proper use of my penmanship for such uses as in this computation device also make it worse for myself.

I do admit i am quite new to this forum. Though, I still find the topic of this new movie quite smashing. However, I am highly disapponted in that this man, this Robert Downey the Second.
I find him unfit to serve such a role in this motion picture. Though, I feel very optimistic for the chap playing the role of doctor John Watson.

  Upon inspection of the globally constructed network, I have discovered a gentleman akin to myself performing this primitive bilge known as, "rap." I expected such tomfoolery from the lesser known species of decent human beings, but I'm baffled what I've witnessed here.

Preplexed by this outcome, I am confiding to other gentlemen to collaborate some sort. I believe a conference is in order.

Gentlemen,

I have been given the impression that Debrett's books are the primary reference on the etiquette of English society, however, they're no longer sold on the UK branch of Amazon.

Are the English no longer interested in polite behaviour, or are they reading some-thing else? Where should I look to educate myself in the ways of the British gentlemen?

I believe one may purchase the publication you seek directly from the publisher at the below referenced website.

Gentlemen, I must ask for your help in the technical matters of correspondence!

Which envelope does one use for personal letters? Which paper is best? Will 200gsm office paper do? Are calligraphic marvels too much for this dismal age?
>> No. 11129 ID: 18d339
Never too much.

A personal touch, unmarred by the taint and sloth of machines is always appreciated.

In the end, it is the act, not the material. A fine meal tastes fine whether upon a silver platter or a plank of wood.

A true gentlemen does not pounce upon others. He helps or remains quiet.

Hello, my esteemed colleagues.

If I may be so bold, I would assume that many of those amongst you enjoy war simulacrums, so as to provide the exhilaration of life-and-death combat with another fellow without the oh-so-ungentlemanly conditions faced by the belligerents in said engagements.

I have a particular longing for such a simulacrum, which is pictured in the enclosed lithograph. Its title involves soldiers stepping up for their countries in times of need, and I daresay that many amongst you will know it simply from the lithograph.

But I digress. Through a series of unfortunate coincidences, I am unable to connect the first in the series of these games to depict combat in a time setting much closer to our own to a network of machines (called the "interconnected web") so that I may pit my skills against gentlemen the world over who posses a system like mine, which is manufactured by the Sony corporation. (quite a reliable corporation, up until the point where I began to have troubles. I daresay it is because of the Orientals that have been hired to manage them.)

And while this would not trouble me were I able to purchase the newly released sequel to this modern combat simulacrum, I am in financial dire straits and cannot.

Thusly, I beseech the aide of you, my fellow /gent/s. Do you know of any fellows who have experienced connection troubles with this "Call of Duty 4"? How did they re-connect their mechanism to the great mechanism network?

my good gentleman, come to your senses! a good gentleman keeps up with the customs of war in his day and age. mere formalities and petty gestures of an archaic understanding of honor are not a gentleman's traits in my humble opinion.

when a gentleman embarks upon a voyage of merciless warfare, he does so for god and country. he kills, without disdain and more importantly leads the rubble of society to war, it is every true gentleman's calling, to lead men to war. to lead them through the threnches and open fields, to lead them in artillery companies and in this day and age, to kill many opponents with a mere push of a button.

for god and country my good fellow.

You will find that many of the gentlemen on this board abhor these "simulacrums" you speak of. I believe this comes from misguided generalizations of the particular demographic prone to playing these games. The demonization of these games in the media is rather troubling as well. I myself enjoy the occasional bout of simulated violence on the game machine. However, as with all things, moderation is key. Wasting away hours in front of a screen is of no use to anyone.

Regarding your technical issue, perhaps it would be of greater use to post in the nearby community of /india/? I'm sure one of those marvelous Hindoos would be more than happy to aid you.

War is not a gentlemanly activity, and never has been. It is often those with disregard for honor and morals who are victorious. Now I do not by any means condone this sort of behavior. Indeed, it is quite a tragedy that things are such, but what can be done? There will always be one desperate enough who will stoop down and dirty up the playing field with his "by any means necessary" tactics.

My good fellows! I happen to be the original commentator of this lovely thread, and I must re-iterate my original point that modern armed combat is by no means a gentlemanly thing!

Why, this is the very reason for me carrying out my combat in an imaginary environment!
