Wanting opponents please!

RE: Wanting opponents please!
Cupressus my friend!

First, I want to make this very clear. You have not offended me in any way; and I have not meant any offence to you.
If I have offended you, please accept my since apology. The fault is mine, I'm sure.

I respect the effort you put into the response. I understood pretty much everything you had said. I find your english to be excellent. It's probably why I'm not as careful as I should be with using 'expressions' that don't have a cultural parallel.

It was I who misunderstood what you had wrote about needing time before posting a new message. What you wrote was clear. The mistake was mine.

As for 'expressions' , an example;
"I understand, no worries!". This might be more of a Canadian way of saying two parts.
"I understand..."- I am expressing both my empathy to a situation but that I might have some personal experience, a "walk a mile in his shoes" angle, and thus can relate.

"...no worries!". This part is a dismissal of trouble. A polite way of saying "we have no issue, everything is good", but most commonly, its a downplay or dismissal of the thanks. If the person felt what they did was not worthy of gratitude.

As for the Latvia question; I didn't ask that in response to anything in particular. I was just thinking you said russian but not in russia. I happened to have done a tour of duty back in 2019 in Latvia, and they had a lot of ethnic russsians who still speak it as their primary language. So in all, my question was one of pure curiosity. Again, I apologize if my own fumbled words offended.

In regards to **. I laughed very hard when I read that! So, what you describe is called, (when friendly)-"Table Talk"; and then (when unfriendly or really competitive friends) Smack Talk". The 'smack' part is that each veiled insult/jest feel like a slap to the face, the indignity.

I often get myself in trouble because online, people can't always tell the difference between Table Talk and Smack Talk.
So when it comes to that, I say- I understand, no worries. You feel free with the Table Talk. Its what friends do.

In no way are you disturbing me. Consider this an open invitation in-perpetuity for you to ask me questions, make comments about the game, or challenges to new games. I leave the frequency up to you.

But yes, by all means, throw everything and the kitchen sink at me! I'm very excited to see what you come up with in both games. You are very correct, the outcome is far from decided.

-Chris
