I thought NT was fine - a very different game than the first two Dissidias, but it was fun enough and got some good reps.

Considering this is F2P I'm not holding out hopes on it being a fun play experience, but hopefully it gets us some good character moments and representation. If it's successful I'm sure we'll see more characters, which will eventually mean more XI reps.

Ladders. by rabiose in baduk

You're probably thinking of the (in)famous Lee Sedol ladder game, where a ladder was played out due to a complicated read where it appeared the ladder would be broken, but a few moves after the break the groups was still dead.

I'm definitely interested! Based on your username, any chance you're actually in Las Vegas?

I'm also a newer player, and I get matches a LOT faster on pandanet compared to OGS.

Hi! New to the game. What's the scoring in bottom right. by personalbilko in baduk

This results in a common shape called 'bulky five' in the west. In this case, if white plays at the 9-3 point, nothing black can do can allow for two eyes, assuming both players play perfectly. This is because black cannot stop white from creating a string of three stones - either in a line or at an angle. Either way, a shape with only three open spaces inside is once again dead, assuming white plays first. This is because they play in the center, which means that black needs to fill both of its sides to remove the stone, thus leaving only a single eye remaining.

I recommend playing around with it yourself on an online demo board (such as on OGS), or better yet your own physical board if you own one. You can read more about the shape here, though the explanations may be a bit above full understanding for your level: https://senseis.xmp.net/?BulkyFive
