Er... perhaps I didn't make myself clear: today's e-mail from Sente can't have been the "promised eve of launch" e-mail from curious, because it went to a box different from the box that the e-mail from curious went to (and, consequently, the box that should be receiving the "eve of launch" e-mail). I'm just wondering whether we should even expect the "promised eve of launch" e-mail anymore... not that I expect an answer to the question, either

Well my frustration with the limited information provided has made me query Google repeatedly and I have turned up something rather interesting: http://alias.crankymonsters.com/archives/2004_01.html The day after the theft of the cube, according to Sente, "the Cube" was stolen from the main character on Alias in the January 15th, 2004 episode. Since I don't watch the show, and thus, I have no idea what this means and if it is valid or not. But the dates and the name of the item warrant some attention. Does anyone know about Alias enough to tell if this is relevent or not?

FWIW, I started googling 'sente' to see what I could find out about the word.

http://senseis.xmp.net/?Sente

"The root meaning of sente (先手) is "playing first" (having the initiative). A player has sente if it is their turn and they do not have to answer their opponent's last move. Thus, a player who has sente can decide where to play next.

A sente move

A move is sente if the opponent has to answer it, so the player who plays it will have sente after the exchange. For example, in this diagram Black can play B1 in sente, because White has to answer to avoid dying. Not to have sente is to be constrained into a direct answer to your opponent's previous play. This state of affairs is called gote: having gote, taking or accepting gote.

The English term most closely connected is therefore the initiative: which changes hands during the game. "


I don't know if somebody's already tried this yet or not, but...

http://senseis.xmp.net/?Gote

"Gote (後手) is the opposite of sente and implies a move which does not need to be answered and/or which loses initiative.

gote endplay

In this endgame example, the sequence played is gote for Black, since he starts and finishes the sequence.

Gote is not always a mistake, though this page appears in the Mistake path. If a move starts a sequence ending in gote, but the sequence is worth more than twice any available sequence ending in sente, then it might be the best move. This kind of calculation is typical of yose (endgame) play."

I sent an email to goteSPLATperplexcity.com was sent this morning, but I haven't received a reply yet...

...but the email hasn't bounced, either.

Crap. I see it's already been discussed in another topic. Sorry.
