The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.

AMPLE make this bed.
Make this bed with awe;
In it wait till judgment break
Excellent and fair.

Be its mattress straight,
Be its pillow round;
Let no sunrise yellow noise
Interrupt this ground.

The Kdice 'tarkovksy' does not distract us, of course, from our interest in and reverence for the brilliant film director Andrei Tarkovsky. 'Andrei Rublev' is easily one of the greatest films of all time; much more knowledgeable people than I make the same claim about several of his films. Ironic that our benighted Kdice 'tarkovsky' chose to use the name of a man who wrote: "It is so much easier to slip down than it is to rise one iota above your own narrow, opportunist motives.... [N]obody wants, or can bring himself, to look soberly into himself and accept that he is accountable for his own life and his own soul.... I am convinced that any attempt to restore harmony in the world can only rest on the renewal of personal responsibility." To that, Kdice 'tarkovsky' would search deep within his soul and say, "Shut your whore mouth" [see the kdice 'tarkovsky' reviews for more about that].

5. You want to flag to someone early and then turn on them late so you can win? Your excuse is that it is like real war--countries that surrender can turn around and attack, and allies do turn on allies, right? Fine. But don't complain about the other way it can be like real war: the world is told about your low morals, about your duplicity, about your dishonor. The Nazis turned on Russia in WW2 and the world heard about it. Finally the whole world knew never to believe anything the Nazis said (they should have known before that, of course). So you weasels out there, don't whine or complain when we honorable men stand up and say, "There is a weasel." Wear it as a badge of honor, the best you will get or deserve.

1: Honor before Kdice. --- 2: Make Kdice a better place by our actions and words. --- 3: When 1st place is in hand, leave everyone alone (unless attacked or stalemate.) --- 4: Pre-game alliances (pga) ruin the game for everyone. PGAers should be called out during the game and in their reviews. Once there is a preponderance of evidence, PGAers should be stopped as best as can be done. ++++++++++ ALSO--- Tarkovsky and his little admirer, johnmuir, are web boys who get mad when it is noted that they are web boys.

XSketch 4-16-2010: Has Xsketch been so far debased? I speak of "hints" that some of the top ranked players (a couple at my table were in the top 10) on XSketch find okay, hints that combine two or more of the hints that XSketch will give when you click the "Hint" button. That is, to me, outright cheating, but I was asked by all but one at the table to stop "warning" for such activity. Apparently it is now okay by "everyone" to give not (1) the first letter OR (2) the number of letters OR (3) the number of words but all three (1 AND 2 AND 3) at the same time -- PLUS indicate double letters. If that is what XSketch should be, fine--but change the rules to reflect that. To those of you who don't cheat: Congratulations, and I salute you. Honor before XSketch.

MY BELIEF REVISED --- 1: Honor before Kdice. --- 2: Make Kdice a better place by our actions and words. --- 3: When 1st place is in hand, leave everyone alone (unless attacked or stalemate.) --- 4: Pre-game alliances (pga) ruin the game for everyone. PGAers should be called out during the game and in their reviews. Once there is a preponderance of evidence, PGAers should be stopped as best as can be done.

MY BELIEF 1: Honor before Kdice. 2: Make Kdice a better place by our actions and words. 3: When 1st place is in hand, leave everyone alone. 1st place benefits far more than any other spot from the current version of flagging, so 1st place owes it to the game to show restraint and patience. I always appreciate it when 1st place lets me fight for 2 or 3 or 4, so when I get 1st I STOP (unless attacked or if there is a stalemate) so that others may enjoy the battles which are the reason we play Kdice. 4: Pre-game alliances (pga) ruin the game for everyone. PGAers should be called out during the game and in their reviews. Of course, we have all been guilty of accusing others of PGA too quickly, so let's have some decent evidence before crying "PGA!" But once there is a preponderance of evidence, PGAers should be stopped as best as can be done. ++++++++++ ALSO--- zhaoyun cheats at Kdice, an Internet Flash game. zhaoyun admitted to PGA. Talk about a loser. ALSO--- BahBoy is as rude and childish as ever. ALSO--- karamogo called my reviews sententious. Are those who enforce zoning and littering laws sententious? Are the police sententious? Are judges sententious? If you aren't a moderator, Kdice offers nothing but reviews as a way to improve the behavior of the players on Kdice. Shall we all sit by and let the behavior get worse and worse? karamogo's answer must be "Yes." Or maybe he just doesn't like my original review of his play. ALSO--- Antarctica needs really good therapy. His infantile and latent sociopathic tendencies are showing. Good luck to him and those around him.--- ---ALSO--- Jammy41, masteroftheplan, and JDkim are cheaters; they have no honor. They are PGA buddies who leave retaliatory reviews. ALSO--- Lucky? (as purple) whined repeatedly throughout our game. He kept asking 1st place "please, be fair, give blue 2nd" and later "please, be fair, give blue 3rd"--over and over. Lucky? did not care about fairness to me. Blue disregarded my flag to him; yellow and I flagged to blue at the same time so that we could fight for 4th. When blue attacked me, I changed my flag from blue to yellow--that is, blue attacked me after I flagged to him, so I attacked blue. A fair fight between blue and me wasn't good enough for Lucky? who kept pleading with 1st place, "please, brown, be fair, give blue 2nd" and later "please, brown, give blue 3rd." Brown, in 1st place, did the right and honorable thing: he stayed out of it. I beat blue. The lesson: for Lucky?, fairness is whatever HE wants to happen--in this case, helping his apparent good friend blue. Nice relativistic ethics there, Lucky?. ---ALSO--- Simple concepts may escape Jack Barrows. Check his reviews. ---ALSO--- BlueLineKing7, has his "facts" wrong. The 3rd place player was, of course, fighting the 2nd place player only. Blue was just on a little power trip--he likes running over people, apparently. ---ALSO--- o ] - [ o says, "the one who got third that game was entirely cool with what i did anyway"; that is NOT true. You cleared a path for him to attack me but he said no. He left the game rather than play your dreary, childish game. ---ALSO--- o ] - [ o is whining about my protest. Please see the review I left for him. Classless, lame, immature 1st place play compelled me to protest in the only way I could--I played a slowdown game. ---ALSO--- PoetryMuse is a bad 1st place player. He wants to decide everything rather than let others fight it out. He is a hypocrite if he ever fights it out for 2 or 3 or 4 rather than suicide if he didn't flag first. That is what he claims to uphold: the first one to flag gets his help. Silly idea and I'm sure he doesn't follow that when he is NOT in first place. ---ALSO--- Shogun is a very sensitive kid. He took all the computer time his mother allows to create a fantasy attack on me. Check out our reviews and decide whom you believe. His over-the-top post makes clear that he is a rude, dishonorable, uncivilized adolescent. I should slit my wrist, Shogun? Really? Your reputation is clear from your reviews; there is no reputation to ruin. ---ALSO--- PhilMacCoy is just mad because I wondered at his use of "gay" as an epithet--what is he, 14 years old? Does he also call people "noob" to insult them? ---ALSO--- Jimmy, that is the difference between us: I would urinate on you to put the fire out if you were burning because I am the Gulliver and you are the Lilliputian (go read "Gulliver's Travels," don't just watch the cartoon version). Does your mother really let you play with big words like "scenario" and "quell"? ---ALSO--- kaneda_z must be the rudest little boy on Kdice, but his mom lets him keep playing. Grow up, kaneda_z. ---ALSO--- "Child" is a child, I'm guessing about 14 years old. Loves to use the word "noob" as an epithet. Loves to cuss as much as some 14-year-old boys do. Doesn't understand the rules he tries to quote against you. Grow up soon, child. Good luck. ---ALSO--- I guess we now know child's other account is "audronee." The same juvenile syntax in both; it must be the same 14-year-old. ---ALSO--- now "child" admits to a 2nd account, knowing that it is against the rules, but I don't believe his 2nd account is "robertass" (can he ever tell the truth? maybe when he grows up). Good luck, "child."
