Not Always Getting Email Notifications

OK. I've only noticed it a couple times, and if I remember correctly, it happened when the post was made at the same time I clicked onto the Off Topic forum. If that's the case, it obviously won't be much of a problem, because I will be able to see that there was a new post. I just thought I should mention it though, just in case I could find out what caused it. If it happens again, I'll make sure to check to see whether the pattern continues or if I'm remembering things incorrectly.

A "Merge Posts" Option?
Time

What if we could merge two or more consecutive posts in a thread (they would be our own posts of course). This would allow for double posts to be deleted (by merging the posts and editing out the duplicate text) and it would also allow people who accidentally post something and then make another post right after it to merge it into one post after they did that.

It could be done so that this could only happen for the last posts in a thread, or you could allow it for posts in the middle of a thread and have the post count read "Post a-b of c" or something like that.

I don't know how feasible this is, but I think it would be a nice option to have and one I would likely make use of fairly often.

Dejarik A.K.A. Holochess--Attention French speakers! Need translation assistance!
Time

To clarify what I said, my browser allows me to translate the page, but I can't read the text because it is too small. However, I am able to hover over the translated text to see the original text (in French) of which I can understand a fair bit. It would be a lot easier to be able to read the translated version, but I can't find a way to enlarge the image/text.

I'll give a short analysis too, if you don't mind, just because it helps me understand the game better myself.

I think you made a mistake by allowing darth_ender's queen a huge amount of coverage on the board. At turn 3, he set himself up to move into the centre of the board. The fact that he risked his knight to take a pawn makes that apparent. He was baiting you so he could get out in the open. Once he was on d5 on turn 5 he was covering more than half the board with his queen and was in a position to move just about wherever he wanted. You forced him out of that position with your knight, but he moved into you territory. You did a good job getting him out of there, but then he started moving bishops around, taking over the centre of the board. Around turn 9, it might have been wise to move your knight out to defend against his oncoming pieces, but you ended up making a line of defense on row 3 instead. I think this was probably a bad idea since it allowed ender to trap you. After that there wasn't much you could do to effectively come back.

Hopefully that's accurate and I didn't sound too critical.

The Six Wishes Thread
Time

Although possibly selfish, those would be interesting wishes. You could do all kinds of things you couldn't normally do in real life (like jumping off skyscrapers without a parachute and surviving), and you'd be able to read a lot of books...wait, would you still have to work full time (before you retired, but that would come way late since you'd have to save up extra money) to support yourself and your family? 'Cause that could really limit your reading time and I suspect it would be a long five hundred years...

Then again, eating would be unnecessary, as would a great many other things. So maybe it wouldn't be so bad after all and you could still retire at a reasonable age.
