[Seattle Go Center] Seattle AGA Chapter Meeting, Tuesday June 5 - 7 PM

Dear Members of the Seattle AGA Chapter:

 

There will be a short meeting of the Seattle AGA Chapter (American Go Association)  to elect a new representative to the national organization.  Your current representative, Peter Nelson, will be moving from Seattle soon.  We have a new candidate for the position, Nick Wilmes.   Nick will be going to the U.S. Go Congress in Williamsburg, VA, so he can attend the Chapter Meeting at the Congress.  But of course other candidates for the position are welcome as well.  The meeting will be at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 5, at the Seattle Go Center.

 

If you are wondering what the Seattle AGA Chapter does, we have a web page for that:

http://www.seattlego.org/aga-chapter/

 

Cheers,

Brian

Hi All,

 

Our new Program Manager, Mike Malveaux,  will be at the Go Center today, May 29, from about 3 – 10 p.m.  In response to an earlier email, Mike wrote: “The community of Seattle Go Center is amazing, and I treasure it.  I am grateful to have been chosen as Program Manager, and I'm looking forward to starting soon!  If you have ideas about conducting effective outreach or fundraising, or time to invest in volunteering, please let me know.”  The best email to reach Mike is programs@seattlego.org

 

As usual, we will have fresh bread from Chris Kirschner.  Recently, the Go Center has been a bit slow on Tuesday afternoons, but the evenings have been lively.

[Seattle Go Center] Mike Malveaux is your new Program Manager

Dear Members,

I am pleased to announce that the Directors of the Seattle Go Center have selected Mike Malveaux to be the Program
Manager for the center. This is a new part time position with responsibility for classes, workshops, visiting pros,
outreach and school programs. Mike will also be updating the website, the mailing list, and our social media. I will be
continuing at the Go Center as Operations Manager, with responsibility for the building, the bookkeeping, and for tax
reports.

The Hiring Committee interviewed three candidates for the Program Manager position, and all three were well qualified
to do the job. However, when it came to teaching beginners, teaching in the schools, and organizing Go events, Mike's
experience was particularly impressive. Mike ran Go clubs in two schools in Tacoma around 2000 - 2006, and he was a
frequent volunteer at Seattle Go Center events up to 2010. He has run or helped run about 25 tournaments, and he has
been a mainstay of the Tacoma Go Club, and now the South Sound Go Club. He did graphics for the 2005 Go Congress,
and for several Summer Go Camps. In 2011, he started teaching snowboarding at Snoqualmie Pass to children and
adults, and from 2013 - 2017, he was a paraeducator in public elementary schools, helping students with behavioral
challenges.

Mike will continue to live in Tacoma, and he plans to keep up with the South Sound Go Club. He hopes to commute to
Seattle by bus, and to get some reading done on the way. He will be at the Go Center next Tuesday, May 29. Please
welcome Mike!

[Seattle Go Center] Spring Tournament Results

Dear Members,

 

Three previous winners of Seattle Go Center tournaments competed in the Spring Tournament, held May 6.  They were Sorin Gherman 6d, who won the 2018 Jin Chen tournament, Kai Fugami 6d, winner of the 2017 Anniversary Tournament, and Yue Zhang 7d, who won the 2016 Anniversary Tournament.  This time, Yue Zhang won the eight person Open Section with a 3-0 record, while the other two players had 2-1 records, along with Zhixiang Lou 5d.

 

The Handicapped Section had 20 players.  In a change from previous tournaments, there were no bands in the Handicapped Section.  Book and equipment prizes were given to all players who won three games.  They were Zihong Yao 2d, Frank Brown 6k, Xiangnan Chen 7k, and Lucas Lu 9k, who also won the youth prize.  Nobody chose the full set of Hikaru no Go books, so they are waiting for another tournament.

 

The tournament has already been rated, since everybody had up to date memberships with the American Go Association (AGA).   To see a graph of your rating (or those of your friends), go to:

http://agagd.usgo.org/

 

To check when your AGA membership needs to be renewed, without using passwords, go to the link below.  The membership expiration date is in the 2nd to last column:

Cheers,

Brian

Re: [ORE] Do you let NPCs use Shaking It Off?

If you feel it is important for an NPC to live then sure. If not, then let them die.

I was just curious how often you have NPCs use Willpower for Shaking It Off or the like? Do you consider it an ability the character has that they'd be foolish not to use, or a partially out of game construct meant to facilitate play?

Your average metahuman has at least 4 Base Will, which they could burn for 40 Willpower, which translates to negating 20 points of killing damage. Many metahumans will have a lot more Will than that - that can translate to everyone being ridiculously durable even if at the cost of their long term will.

For myself, I tend to let my NPCs burn Willpower for Shaking It Off relatively freely, but I don't generally have them burn Base Will for Willpower, even in a life or death situation. Better to actually have NPCs that actually, y'know, die sometimes.

What about you?

[Seattle Go Center] SDK Wednesday hangout tomorrow

Hey all!

Hope the nice weather is treating y'all well. I don't have anything planned for tomorrow, but will be there at the usual 6:30pm time slot. I expect there will be ample time for personalized instruction if you would like any, and of course there will be problems and casual games as well. You're also welcome to just come hang out and chill, if that's your thing.

Hope to see you there!

[Seattle Go Center] Hurry Curry Meet-Up Continues, Crossroads Meet-Up Closes

Dear Go Players,

 

Oren will be hosting the Hurry Curry Meet-Up in South Lake Union tonight, Monday.  They are at 825 Harrison St. Seattle WA 98109.  Casual games and informal instruction are possible.  This is ongoing, and Daniel Top will be back next week.

 

We are sorry to report that the meet-up at Crossroads Bellevue, usually held on Thursdays, has stopped.  This Eastside group has been meeting for 4 years, a good run, but attendance has been low recently.  Thanks to Thane, who organized it, and the hosts, who included Frank Fukuda, Harpreet, and Solomon.  Thanks also to Uncle’s Games, who stored our equipment, and who also have Go equipment for sale.

 

Our full listing of clubs and meetups is below.  Let me know if a listing needs to be updated.

Cheers,

Brian

[Seattle Go Center] Prizes for the Spring Tournament on Sunday May 6

Dear Members,

 

We’ve been getting ready for the Spring Tournament tomorrow, May 6.  (Registration is at the beginning of the tournament, from 10 to 10:45 a.m. )   For the Handicapped Section, everybody who wins three games gets to choose a prize.   I’ve been going through our donation boxes, and selected some good stuff.  We have a nice katsura slotted board – the two pieces are joined by woodworker’s joints, not hinges.  We also have thin slate and shell stones from Japan, and some nice glass stones from Japan.  We have both volumes of Cho Chikun’s “All About Life and Death”, a copy of “Invincible”, and a full set of Hikaru no Go mangas.  Plus lots more!  We hope to see you tomorrow, Sunday.

 

Cheers,

Brian

[Seattle Go Center] No Kent Go Meetup Tonight

Happy Friday everyone,

Unfortunately, there is no one available today to head up the monthly Kent meetup so we will be skipping this month.  There is however the big Spring Tournament this Sunday at the Go Center that you have probably already seen from Brian.  If you are itching for your Go fix then I highly recommend attending.  It is a great place to get fun games for all skill levels and there are even prizes for those that do well!


Look forward to seeing you all there!

-Nick W.

[Seattle Go Center] Program Manager Position Interviews Start Soon

Dear Members,

 

Last week I wrote that we are creating a new position at the Go Center, called the “Program Manager”.   We will probably start interviews next week (May 8).  This is a paid part time position (50 hours a month) with flexible hours and some work required on weekends and evenings.   The position could start up any time before September, depending on the candidate’s schedule.

 

A number of people have expressed interest in the position, including two PhD’s and a 5 dan.  However, none of those three can fit the job into their schedule.  It should also be noted that the position does not require those impressive credentials – we just need somebody with Go teaching experience who can keep our program organized, both on-line and in person.  This will be an interesting job with a lot of room for self-starters.   I can send you a full job description if you are interested.

 

Regards,

Brian
