I don't understand the "team game" comment

That was a joke - because chess is a solo player game.

I totally didn't get it either SpikeyMark    But then I also fell for the GoApe April Fools joke about a zip wire over crocodiles at Longleat Safari Park. It is my 'Autistic Superpower!' (please note - that is me trying my hand at a joke)

 it's mostly just playing games.

.....and, online, I don't find that enjoyable.

I don't feel that it is a splinter group

I'm not suggesting it is anything nefarious or wrong.......I was saying that I, personally, don't want to get drawn into multiple other places that are digital in nature.

There is very very little messaging, it's mostly just playing games. Like I say, a move a day doesn't even have to be time consuming. I don't feel that it is a splinter group. It's only about chess, after all.

Love it 

This "digital space" has proved to be quite an effort for me over the years so I'm aiming to avoid too much splintering into new group digital spaces.

My strong preference is for one-on-one communications.  IRL contact and emails seem to suit me best.....but I appreciate your recommendation nonetheless.

Chess is too much of a "team game" for me?!?!  [That's my autistic declaration of the week!!]

Even if you don't play chess, the club is still recommended. You can even play just a single move a day, as I do with FH (who beats me every single time)

I'm in touch with Mr S via Autistic Chess Club, so he can remind me there.

It seems impossible to find a space that doesn't have internal politics of some sort.

Yep - I hear you.

None of us have the spoons for change.....which is why the "management of change" - for us - is so important?!  I reckon der new management here, didn't get that memo or failed to turn up for that seminar?!!

Pity.

This is where I suggest creating a discord group and then fall flat on my *** because there's no way to advertise it, and I'd probably get too anxious and RSD would force me to close it anyway.

Dearest SpikeyMark,

You are a legend, for presenting this presentation as presented.  Bravo.......[The TM is a Mark of class!]

Similarly, it is also very good of Lotus to try and retain the echo of Mr Isperg in this forum (previously, and ongoing I hope) in a similar "film night" vein.

Unfortunately (and frankly, with considerable HORROR,) I have been reliably informed that Mr Isperg is no longer permitted (by der new management of this place) to make contributions or posts here........because......well......anyway.......I ain't got the spoons for that, here and now.......and I think Mr Isperg had already de facto left by the time of his OFFICIAL PERMANENT EXCLUSION from our community here, for reasons of "damage" being wrought upon him by simply being here.

Similarly, it is with some considerable sadness  that I fondly remember another past member here (aptly named Frozen) who is similarly not able to pass comment on this matter these days.......(again, due to der new management of this place)......despite them being a "world leading" authority on this film and its wider universe.

Hollow........shelled out.  The cats have been suppressed, shot or simply wandered off in disdain.  "A certain diversity" of autistic folk are no longer allowed and/or feel excluded and unwelcome in this community.

I hang on, by a whisker!

With sadness.

Number.

PS - This is a very long-winded / soap-box note to say that;

and hopefully Mr Sperg will remind us how you join in.

will not be making a reminder for us.

I’d love to take part but I’m not sure what I’m doing next week as I usually spend the day with my friend.
