Re: 2013 WRITER OF THE YEAR- ABANDONED!!

It was abandoned because I don't appreciate my threads being moved and not one person has the decency to explain why.
And I don't appreciate my threads being locked and not one person has the decency to explain why.

So Bouncy, you'd better ask Tony why, because I have no idea. :p

(they haven't gone Sjoerd, I've saved them and will be posting them on another forum in the not too distant future.)

Great pity that pooh's felt this is necessary, but good news that it'll go on elsewhere so all is not lost as such once we know where it's gone... no doubt more info will come in soonish :think:
Maybe in a site near here jan. ;)

Re: 2013 WRITER OF THE YEAR- ABANDONED!!

Nuclear Tesuji was the concept I based my story Nuclear Checkmate from. A tesuji is considered a clever play in the Japanese game of Go. A Nuclear Tesuji is basically what happens when someone decides to upend the game board (usually with the table) because they don't like the way the game is going or gone.

TV Tropes is an interesting place to learn new things. A Japanese artwork of a Nuclear Tesuji is the page image for "Rage Quit".
