The Manners of a Machine

@Lil_Puppet @BigGreenShrek lol
I think that you know what I mean, li'l puppet, but on the off chance you don't, here you go: the first person is what is used to speak of yourself, i.e. "I". The second person is what you use to refer to someone who can hear the conversation. "You" is an example of use of the second person. The third person refers to a person who cannot observe the conversation at the moment; examples could include "he" and "she" and the like.

We're asking you to stop talking about yourself as if you aren't present for the conversation that you are present in.
"We" are asking? First off - you assume English is Li'l Puppet's first argot. It is not. Secondly, your use of the term "we" is a bit presumptuous, if not pompously autocratic. If you are perturbed by Li'l Puppet's lack of experience with the West Germanic language of England, Li'l Puppet asks that you allow some nuance of courtesy to one who is not as well-versed in the genre.
I'm not looking what's happening in the chat. If player writes to me "Hi", I will write "Hi" too.
Excellent response Aks_Oks - A simple acknowledgement that human beings are interacting in the Royal Game Of Chess is all that is necessary. To run around from table to table like a muted, rented mule is less than adequate when dealing with society.
Although I would like to ever so gently like to discourage chess and push inhibriated croquet. but I admit to some personal bias there.
inhibriated croquet?
i can only say.
5 iron, putter, s-wedge and a 12-pack of beer... and no green card.
