For any reason.

    Someone made a meme post about they’re currently hyperfixated on go and I liked that one because I can’t seem to find an active community to talk about go yet.

    And it’s fun to see people learning the game I like.

      They need to get past it. After all, they get $200!

        No, no, we changed it to STOY! You get $200 if you land on STOY!, and you pay $50 to bribe the guard if you go past STOY!. Please try to keep up, comrade.

        There are also zombies now as of 10 days ago…

            I didn’t expect anyone to have the name “stop” in Russian.

              The backstory of it is that I watched a short Swedish comedy film where a grpup of Swedish tourists are confused with an international group of tourists when doing a castle tour and the guide only speaks a weird pidgin English as he does the tour.

              One of the phrases he uses is “Stoy on!”, which translated into “Se upp!” in Swedish, which in turn properly translates to “Look out!”, in proper English, I saw that and thought it was a fitting nickname when playing UT2004, and have kept it, and shortened it to Stoy.

        Another brick in the SEO wall that makes it more difficult to search for communities and resources on playing go. I switched to using the Korean name, baduk, for a while, just to reduce confusion, but fewer people in the US seem to know it by that name.

        Woe is the life of the lonely go player.
