pate/K_Dubb 2024 - "WHO farted in the elevator?"

Quote from: pate on October 19, 2022, 04:02:55 AMI believe, the 4D chess-moves (so far) are:

White    Red
d4        e6
N-c3      Q-f6

White Knight to move...

I will not identify the players in this match due to the impending investigation by the soon to be appointed Independent Counsel.

This reminds me of a friendly little match played psychically between the Donald and Omarosa on a now lost episode of Who's the Boss Who's the Apprentice (maybe)?


1. d4    e6

2. ♘c3  ♛f6

Characteristically disdainful of team play and unconcerned for her own safety, Omarosa thrusts herself into the mainfray.

Donald will naturally nudge her for the impetuous move, but secretly admire the dynamism displayed.

3. ♘d5    En garde!

WOTR

Quote from: pate on October 19, 2022, 04:02:55 AMAfter a full investigation of course:  I am calling for a non-partisan, fair-minded, and MAPA-approved Independent Counsel to step forward and head up this investigation.

At first I was concerned that offering my services as the lead independent investigator might look suspicious. But then Trudeau appointed Justice Rouleau to head the investigation into him suspending our charter of rights and freedoms and literally bringing in martial law. He appointed a judge worked for the liberal party when his father, Pierre stepped down in the 80's. It might appear to any rational person be a kangaroo court and a show trial- but that is what we get in Canada now.

So, in the fine Canadian tradition of not caring how obviously tainted an inquiry may be, I would be willing to take charge of this one.

Huh, that is not the move I'd make if I were the White Knight.  Honestly I haven't even set up a board on this one to see what sort of cray-cray moves are available, as this is an opening I typically do Not See.

With out setting the board up, I believe:

White    Red
d4        e6
N-c3      Q-f6
N-d5      B-b7(?:?:?)...

Is a possible future for that opening?

Two Hundred Ninety-three, Thursday Into Friday
"PLANK, DON'T RUN" : "SPITZ FIREDUST" : "OVER ARCHON" : "THUNDERDOME LIGHTNING" : "JEWELED ALIEN"
First off, if I have not already made "Emoticons Are Optional NOT Obligatory" an Official MAPA KamPain Planck already, it now has been done.  Let it be written!

Consulting my extensive KamPain Notes List(s), I find that this is not readily apparent.  It has now been written.

This one is pretty simple:  using stictly un-Official back channels my Administration will get in touch with Elon Musk after he finishes up his Twatter acquisition and gently request (using whatever personal strong-arm tactics I possess in my personal Presidential Toolkit) that he write up some code enabling the use of Emoticons by the checking of a simple box in one's User Profile on the platform.

This will dovetail nicely with the "Simple Solutions For Simple Minds" program/Planck, I believe.

After Mr. Mush realizes that this is a Good Idea and implements it on Twatter:  it will quickly be emulated by all the other Socialist Media Platforms and yet another petty annoyance on one of the Shit Lists will be eradicated;  or at least lessoned.

----------

CMDR WOTR, AFL-I(CAN):

Apogees for getting that above bit of Administrative KamPain business out of the way.

As you are well aware, the Lists of Shit to Fix are many, varied, and lengthy:  we must take these Opportunity Shots as they present themselves;  always with an eye towards advancing the greater MAPA cause.  I digress...

You would make an excellent Independent Counsel for this Digital Rape investigation.  I believe you check all the requisite boxes:  I am Nautical Shore if Laser has also volunteered for the position or not;  perhaps you could be Independent co-Consuls on this affair which would lend it gravitas and an amusingly Late Roman Republican feel.

I do not believe Laser already has claimed a seat at the Banquet Table, nor the associated Plum;  you are of course awaiting the creation of your American Foreign Legion contingent and therefore are strictly un-Official.  As long as we can continue to keep the SeekRut of your involvement in the KamPain from the general public I think you will serve well to Advance the Independent Investigation to its inevitably innocent conclusion.

In my book, we may write a short coda for this chapter and close out the Investigation for examination by future historians.

Thank you.

Should you need friendly non-partisan advice, I urge you to use back-channel comms of your own choosing to contact the parties involved and gather testimony and evidence as required.

For myself, as you are well aware:  I may be reached via both the AzzGab PMs and the one hear;  also at pate4pate@gmail.com should you be concerned about the internal security protocols of the various SMF servers.

Hear, Muzaks:


I see by the Thyme that I am due to begin my Working Day Off, which I hope to be somewhat less than 6 hours long.  So I must:

Dear sir, I fear I must be be listed as co-defendant in this Digital Rape investigation as MDMD has pointed out my many violations of his sense of propriety by hitting on him.  Since I have also regrettably solicited our friend WOTR in what he may choose to construe as a non-consensual way with the promise of butter tarts and other comforts, it seems clear that he can not investigate me, so two Special Counsels may be necessary.

What kind of puritan are you? Perhaps you are residing in 1952 as opposed to 2022 where corruption is not only accepted, but celebrated and rewarded?

WE need only employ the FBI and other alphabet agencies to suppress the story before the election. There is no need for anybody else to know of the butter tarts or other promised comforts.

*With that said, I am happy to share the bribes responsibilities with Laser. It would probably be best. He can investigate the transgressions that take place in America, and I can focus on the commonwealth counties.

WOTR,

If I understand you correctly, the butter tarts & other promised comforts were not unwelcome offers from the alleged Digital Rapist K_Dubb.

I see no conflict of interest, hear?

I think you may proceed with the investigation, although I think having a co-Consul wouldn't be a bad idea either as I have outlined above:  Laser is quite free to join you, if desired by either party (this MUST be a consensual pairing, for reasons & optics).

If the Effen Bea Eye is required to assist in the gathering of evidence:  including but not limited to the examination of all underwear drawers that may or may not contain pertinent items;  I promise that I will not allow my wayward Ceremoniously Adopted Son access to the evidence lockers in order to sniff said evidence gathered (whatever form the evidence may take) and add further fuel to this unfortunate mid-to-late October Surprise.

We should probably figure out who needs to get you sworn in so that you may begin the important work that is on the Table before you.

If your investigation takes you in a wildly divergent direction, I say follow the leads.  They will inevitably take you to Rome, of course, but it is the journey that counts.

Hear, some Muzaks that may (or may not) assist you:


I will make this post in my capacity as a private 1st-Citizen of the PFDRp, so as not to appear to be attempting to influence, impede, or otherwise direct your Very Important Inquiry.

QuoteOh my, I seem to have mis-keyed that chess move!

Let me correct the record, hear:

White  Red

White Knight to move.

I note that the "7" key is directly above the "4" key, one must be quite careful in notation when playing 4D-Chess in the mynd.

Apogees.

And I am foiled in my quest to capture the queen. The very essence of my soul is threatened with the bishop at my throat. The knight must do his duty and remove the bishop.


Speaking of volunteering though, I was entirely unaware that I had volunteered for anything. But if I must be dragooned, the IC position, whatever that might entail, is enticing enough.

The Muzaks reminded me that in addition to swearing in the required individuals, we must outline the porpoise of the inquiry as well as the consequences of the conclusions. Generally democratic republics list execution as likely outcomes- but I'm not sure that is the correct road to go down at this time (unless we are relying on the world being so outraged over Russia and the Ukraine that they will not notice.)

As for the porpoise of the inquiry- perhaps we should leave it lurking beneath the surface until ready to spring an October surprise? We may just concentrate on gathering evidence to support our desired concussions at this time?

I think the porpoise should be wide ranging, no restrictions whatsoever.  Should the Seven Seas prove to be inadequate in scope;  the Oceans might also be dredged for evidence.  Fresh water-ways and bodies of water would not be out of the Inquisitors' ether.

As for land-based investigations, no stone should be left unturned in Pursuit of Truth.

As to executions of the non-Investigative type, (I am unsure which is the literal execution here, it may be due to vagaries of verb and noun use in the Anglais, Nautical Shore?) and their natural abundance in Democratic Republics:

I note that Presumption of Guilt and the need to Prove Innocence are also standard in those types of Regimes.  So clearly:  as Independent co-Consuls the ultimate gaol hear is NOT to prove Guilt, but its opposite;  Innocence.

If during your travails you find that Crimes Other Than Digital Rapery have occurred;  and they seem pursuant to the Natural Gaols of the Investigation:  these may be utilized for their distractive conveyance.

Digital Jaywalking is also a Criminal Offense, and with unambiguous evidence (crossing the Tarmac outside the Zebra Stripes filmed by Traffic Signal cameras, for example) it would be rather difficult to Prove Innocence with that one and the enforcement must needs be swift and brutal!

I have no idea what sort of many headed beast this Investigation will unleash, but in pursuant to my Proven Innocence (and probably K_Dubb's as well) it must needs be done.

I think, if not multiple porpoises, at minimum it should have duel porpoises.  Do not focus on One Direction, no matter what K_Dubb might whisper in your ear, CMDR AFL-I(CAN)!

I have said two mucks.

Hear, distracting Muzaks:

Whew!  That is very reasonable of you.  For the Commonwealth there are innumerable cases over the past God knows how many years where a certain alleged victim who must not be named but who posts as something like Vedni Shrashtar might wish to press charges, I am sure I have offended him the most of all but his last post today was very Mr. Grumbleshorts.  I have high hopes that he has left us for good and that my legal exposure where he is concerned is therefore limited but, of course, I do not wish to influence you in any way that is not agreeable and I am perfectly willing to jump into handcuffs at the slightest suggestion of an opportunity.

No side-switching required, I do not take this game at all SiriusLee.  Had that been the case I would have set up the position from the beginning rather than attempt the thing in my very distracted mind.

The initial four (or two pairs of) moves were made entirely in my head without the consultation of even an empty online numbered board;  the one I was/have been using for the subsequent moves is this one:



White    Red
d4          e6
N-c3      Q-f6
N-d5      B-b4
Nxb4      d5
N-f3        ...


Your

5 ...  Q-e7

has merit to cover the now lost Bishop, but is a Retreat which I tend to avoid in gameplay, always Advance!

I have contemplated both:

5 ...  b6

&

5 ...  Nc6

and am particularly partial to the Fianchetto'd Bishop potential of the "5 ...  b6" move.  Which I believe might be part of my earlier wild "4 ... Bb7(?)" scheme.  I think the Red Queen is out of immediate danger at this point, and prefer to increase her potential moves rather than restrict them.  Even with the loss of the Red Bishop, I think this early in the game it could be a potential and unforeseen Gambit?

If so, you might (should you be playing this "dream match" For The Win) look into the possibility.

So, although I lean toward the "5 ... b6" move, your fondness for chivalric contests might persuade me to settle on the "5 ...  Nc6" move?

Do you recall how the game progressed in your "psychic Donald v. Omarossa" match?

A Strategic Retreat is often the mark of a great General.

Of course, Omarosa will never retreat or back down. She will strut confidently through the midst of any battle. Her unrealistic and unrealized ambitions will take her to an inevitable and messy end. Though Donald will ever have his eye on this dark and fiery temptress. We know a juicy White House position in a do nothing capacity is waiting in the offing. He can't stop hitting on her.

Thusly 6. Bg5

Rarely has such a familial conflagration caused such concern among the political cognoscenti. There may yet be some redemption for the wayward soul, perhaps in some creative literary or artistic endeavour. Time will tell, unless some additional scandal ensues.

Lazar,

You might add the following tome:



to your stacks of "Chess Enthusiast" magazines.  In my youth, I found it to be quite helpful in developing my "middle game" abilities.  I believe my father loaned it to me from his library during the time of our adventures to one of the local chess clubs in town.

I don't recall exactly when I finally beat my father at the game, but he stopped playing me after that.  I believe that is when I began to play a certain few of my high school classmates when I found their Chess Club in the Physics/Chemistry Lab one day.

I believe the One-Eyed Old Man's interest in this book was two-fold:  primarily due to its application on the Chess Board, and secondarily (this is speculation on my part, for he no longer recalls his earlier years due to senescence) its application in the development of Artificial Intelligence/Fuzzy Logic for a Gov't Work related project he was involved in during the late 1980s to early 1990s.  Perhaps even earlier, as I understand self-guidance systems were being developed for various weapons systems before that time frame.

I digress...

In the interests of transparency, I have several amusing moves in mind (in addition to my eventual "T(x) ... B-b7" fianchetto):

8 ...  a5

-or-

8 ...  h6

-or-

8 ...  N-c6

-or-

8 ...  Q-e4

The above moves are roughly in order of preference, although I lean most heavily towards the "8 ...  h6" move for reasons unknown to me.

I suspect this is a result of my stubborn refusal to set the board up other than as a construct in my very limited mind.

Out of curiosity, I decided to compare our little "Dream Match" to perhaps a more famous one:



Which is not yet out of the realm of possibilities as a future "end-game" position, as far as I can discern...

I have, of course, violated the Rule of "No Table Talk/Kibbitzing" by the participants during this "Dream Match" and by The Rules of Competitive Chess have already lost the game.

This is only a Figurative Loss, as I have not noted an Official Complaint in regards to this particular infarction.

In addition to the above Proposed Moves, I have elected to settle on the following Muzaks:


for the Dear Readers' listening pleasure.  I shall post the alternate choice in the appropriate thread forthwith.

Thank you in Advance!  It is an honor to serve.

Lazar,

You might add the following tome:



to your stacks of "Chess Enthusiast" magazines.  In my youth, I found it to be quite helpful in developing my "middle game" abilities.  I believe my father loaned it to me from his library during the time of our adventures to one of the local chess clubs in town.

I don't recall exactly when I finally beat my father at the game, but he stopped playing me after that.  I believe that is when I began to play a certain few of my high school classmates when I found their Chess Club in the Physics/Chemistry Lab one day.

I believe the One-Eyed Old Man's interest in this book was two-fold:  primarily due to its application on the Chess Board, and secondarily (this is speculation on my part, for he no longer recalls his earlier years due to senescence) its application in the development of Artificial Intelligence/Fuzzy Logic for a Gov't Work related project he was involved in during the late 1980s to early 1990s.  Perhaps even earlier, as I understand self-guidance systems were being developed for various weapons systems before that time frame.

I digress...

In the interests of transparency, I have several amusing moves in mind (in addition to my eventual "T(x) ... B-b7" fianchetto):

8 ...  a5

-or-

8 ...  h6

-or-

8 ...  N-c6

-or-

8 ...  Q-e4

The above moves are roughly in order of preference, although I lean most heavily towards the "8 ...  h6" move for reasons unknown to me.

I suspect this is a result of my stubborn refusal to set the board up other than as a construct in my very limited mind.

Out of curiosity, I decided to compare our little "Dream Match" to perhaps a more famous one:



Which is not yet out of the realm of possibilities as a future "end-game" position, as far as I can discern...

I have, of course, violated the Rule of "No Table Talk/Kibbitzing" by the participants during this "Dream Match" and by The Rules of Competitive Chess have already lost the game.

This is only a Figurative Loss, as I have not noted an Official Complaint in regards to this particular infarction.

Irving Chernev, a most worthy recommendation; I shall look out for his books in the future with an approving eye.

The Artificial Intelligence angle reached a certain crescendo when Deep Blue officially bested Garry Kasparov back in 1997. However, this was little more than Kasparov embarrassing himself by resigning with a proven draw on the board and later losing interest where Deep Blue had no guaranteed win. The development of greater recent interest has been the emergence of AlphaZero and its brutal domination of Stockfish. This is the dawn of true AI with the ancient game of chess as a vehicle.

Lazar,

I certainly hope the .gif I so laboriously created properly plays where I have substituted it into your quoted text above.  If not the current position (sans the eventual "8 ...  ???" move is):

You cannot view this attachment.

I still haven't physically set up the board, and have found that my psychic powers are strained to the point that a digital representation of this "Dream Match" might prove illuminative.

The Red Queen seems to have been placed into a somewhat untenable position where she is open to constant harassment from the White Knight and his fiends.

I believe she has at minimum three viable moves:

8 ... Qxg4

-or-

8 ... Q-e4

-or-

8 ... Q-g6

Which are in order of my preferences were this game truly under my control.  I have a sneaking suspicion that the offered pawn is a Trap of some sort.

It is my firm belief that White will respond with some sort of "Night Move":


I wonder if a Silver Bullet is proof against a Wolf in Sheep's clothing (or any other clothing such a Skinwalker might don)?

I would go a step farther than that Attempted Thief of the 2016 Election in saying that the 2022 MidTerms;  no matter the result:  will also be stolen.

I say this only because:  it has become apparent that due to rampant planned theft by both the Rethuglicans and the DemonRots;  the MAPA campaign will have to steal our rightful votes back from these nefarious criminals in order to secure the various County Animal Control (or Dog Catcher) positions that we are focusing our grass-roots write-in KamPaining efforts on in this cycle.

Some of you might find this news to be disheartening:  I remind every single, important, and dedicated MAPA KamPainer;  we knew the road to MAPA would be long, difficult, and hellish when we set out on this journey those many years ago in 2016.

For those, I hope this Muzak is encouraging:

Dear sir, I am proud to say that, in support of this effort, this year for Halloween I will be a sassy mule (one of 2000 or so) complete with a sackful of ballots all marked with your name, representing the MAPA votes they stole from us.  Since to my knowledge you have not registered for any of the races on my ballot, I have taken the liberty of casting you for State Representative, Secretary of State, and a host of municipal offices here in the lovely Emerald City, so I hope you are poised to move on short notice should these efforts succeed.

Yours ever, kdubb

I hope that you pre-filled them with "pate/K_Dubb 2024."  This strategy is of course multi-pronged, much like an Elk, for maximal exposure of our Presidential KamPain to the Multi-Vote.

I do not intend to move from the PFDRp to anywhere but the White Haus (or Hawai'i if I cannot find a more suitable University for the study of Botany.  I hear rumblings that Northwest Missouri State University offered the program not too long ago...)

Feel free to find any Counties/Municipalities that still allow Mail-In Ballots and do the same, we will of course re-imburse your postage costs from the KamPain Coofers after the successful completion of this Operation (which is bound to burst with all the Press it will surely generate).

I have taken the Liberty of opening a numbered Swiss Bank account in the name of the Big Dog here at the PFDRp:  Hanz II (or "Hanz Too" or "Hanz Tzu") where both my Standard 25% cut and any KamPain Funds are to be deposited:  You might write His name on some of the Ballots as well;  Dog Lives Matter!

Thank you in Advance for your service!

Like the Spanish Inquisition, I did not expect that!  How droll, the Red Queen must either fall back to her earlier position or edge Westward (HO!) but I am unsure which is best.  Her earlier position smacks of a Retreat, which I abhor in favor of Advance (even if it is a Lateral Advance, which might be viewed more as a Flanking maneuver).  I digress...

SPeaking of digressions, your earlier comments on "DeepBlue" did not go unheeded.  As I recall, the engineers that wrote it went on to attempt an AI that could play Go.  "AlphaGo" was the first incarnation of it, I believe, and there is an interesting documentary (probably the very one I watched on the subject some thyme ago) that can be found on the various Vidya-player services on the '-Tubes.

Both of those remind me of my ongoing, unfinished, and yet-to-be-coded Project for Minesweeper.  I believe both "AlphaGo" and "DeepBlue" were, in a way, attempting to solve the "P=NP?" question.

Certainly, my little Hobby Horse is attempting that.  I understand there is a small Prize associated with the Herculean (Sisyphutian?) Task of proving "P=NP" if someone has not already done so.

Of course, I do not expect to win any Prizes:  at best I am an amateur Mathematician;  which I find rhymes with Patrician, again I digress...

Of no interest to anyone but myself, the above screenshot is where I currently sit in the development cycle of this purely notional "Artifice of Intellect" I intend to construct.  This is the 24th examination of the problem that I felt might prove to be useful in its' development.  I believe this is turn "n+26" where "n" is the unknown number of moves I made before I realized the uncovered bit was going to be a case of "Non-Trivial Logic..."

Also of interest, is that I was able to predict that the square/cell 30,9 (x,y) would indeed be a "2" before it was uncovered.  A thing I probably do all the time subconsciously, but had the "Eureka!" moment just today.  Luckily, I was not a "Fat Man in A Bath Tub" when this happened, as the game is computerized and that would have been dangerous...  Again, I digress.  The the gameboard is a bit "Blue," to further my digression.  Hah!

In any case, I expect when I have thyme to revisit that mess there will be something profoundly obvious I am missing in my interpretation of probabilities with the above conundrum...  There are an alarming number of 50/50's in there that form a chain interspersed with a few 2:1's & 1:2's that make it quite the knot to untie.

The "guess-work" implicit to this game is somewhat annoying, and since the "first Guess" or your initial move is rigged to NEVER be a mine, it makes the entire enterprise suspect.  I think it was my suspicious nature that ultimately led me on this quest.

Much as I believe, but cannot prove, "P=NP";  I also believe that the Micro$uck version of Minesweeper cheats, and I CAN prove it by the very first move:  One never uncovers a Mine on the first move, which is un-possible unless cheating is involved.

That last paragraph might be the long sought for proof that indeed P does equal NP;  but it might be viewed as cheating:  which is generally frowned upon and not allowed in the Mathematical Whirl'd.

I have said two mucks!  Hear Muzaks:

I shall again attempt my "custom .gif" which I believe may have failed due to my setting the number of "cycles" it would run through at 1 rather than infinite:

The "Preview" of the above .gif is not encouraging...  Alas, it seems to work just fine when I preview it here on my desktop computer using the defunct & no longer supported WinDoze Explorer, which I believe now has some Edgier Name <- I digress...

To go farther afield:



I believe a "break-through" has been reached in my quandary with the with the above position of M$'s version of Minesweeper.

I predict with a high degree of reliability that cell/square "30,13" will indeed be a mine:  Also;  if it had a displayed value of the number of adjacent mines:  that number would be a very Blue digit indicating the number One.

I have found an amusing way to discover the veracity of the above statement without guessing:  A fiend & co-worker once showed me this method of solving the game in a single move;  one merely "unflags" the position of a "known mine" and then "clicks" upon that square.

The board solution is instantly reveal'd as if by Magic!  This is the "cheating" solution I have decided proves the "P=NP" question.

I do not think it would be received as other than a dumb joke by the Mathematical Community:  if no one has yet made this "Mathematical Dad Joke";  I wish full credit and the recognition that comes with such a feat.

With all of the above in mind, it seems to me that the only viable move available to the Red Queen's Side is one from the Red King's side:

10 ...  KKnP-KKn3

This is the only COA that Eye Sea;  although I am not committed to this move if a better won is presented by either you or a kibitzer.

I find that the old-style notation is both nostalgic, confusing, and satisfying.  As I recall, the Chess Book I recommended to you in an earlier posting used this very notation.  I don't believe the UCF (United Chess Federation?) had settled upon the co-ordinate system at the time of publication of the physical book I once (and very well still may have) had, somewhere?  Nautical Shore.

Hear, Muzaks:


Apogees for yet another digression, Lazar:  How goes your "Digital Rapist"  IPCC (IndePendent  Co-Consul) investigation?  I would also encourage CMDR AFL-I(CAN) to share any preluminary findings about any Innocent/Guilty Cetaceans (be they First Cetaceans or Vice Cetaceans) of any Nationality whatsoever.

For your next move, Aye:

Miraculous! Much appreciated.


The old-style notation, it must be said, is viscerally painful and somewhat disturbing for me, in the same way, perhaps, that Billy Bob Thornton espouses a crippling fear of antique furniture. One of the key principles of the Chess Informant when it first originated was "to establish a "chess language" – an international code akin to those used in mathematics and music, equally understandable to chess players all over the globe." This is a format one can aspire to.



Your 10. ... g6 is an acceptable rejoinder.

Trump would have demanded no less than an unrelenting focus on Omarosa.

11. Ng5



Laser

The curtain has fallen. The gifted protégé is invariably about to be fired.


1.d4 e6 2.Nc3 Qf6 3.Nd5 Bb4 4.Nxb4 d5 5.Nf3 b6 6.Bg5 Qf5 7.Qd2 h6 8.g4 Qxg4 9.Rg1 Qe4 10. Bf4 g6 11.Ng5 hxg5 12.Rxg5 Qh1 13. O-O-O


Perversely so, this is the opposite of innocent Alice finding her way to the eighth rank in order to become a queen. Omarosa as a queen to begin with clamours her way to the eighth rank only to meet her own demise.

She will triumph in many ways, of course, in many more dramas to come.
