^How come you can't do it like the rest of us? I said use an apostrophe! :P

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what your move means :( Shogi convention signals drops with an asterisk, i.e. B*[coordinates]

And Ric, you don't think I deserve a turn? You're *sob* skipping me? :( ;)

 Ah, of course.  And is anyone else having reply formatting issues?  The advanced editor seems to be deleting every 'enter' I press.

Ric, it was my turn, but you are welcome to keep that move, just after me :)

Sorry about that. Silly me. Yeah, my move remains the same (G-14op).

 Apostrophe, eh?

As*terisks are for swearing.

Fine. I will bow to the conventions of this land...even if (p) looks more like a parachute.

Yeah, see?

 I mainly seem to get logged out and denied the use of my pas*word when I take too long to post. I am getting fairly good at resetting it by now.

Oh, and I was apparently having difficulty paratrooping my pieces into the game...but I as*ume that has been straightened out.

There is the checkbox to automatically log you in, if you are using a different computer (or browser) than Ric.

 Yes, but our friend the checkbox doesn't always stay checked. I am watching it closely now to make sure it is behaving properly...we shall see...

Yes, to any cell within his territory as long as he has never moved or been in check. I can't play again till tomorrow.

Hmm, that lance wasn't where I had put it on the board...it must have been so charming that my intelligence service "overlooked it" for a modest sum.

To be perfectly honest, I'm rather relieved that I'm no longer concealing anything from you since the sum they demanded from me every turn was atrociously high. At least it payed off in the end.

It appears that darth_ender's fears about the treatment of this poor bishop were wholly justified. When he was brought to me during the evening meal and I invited him to join us, he burst into joyful tears at the prospect of a proper meal. His loyalty to my cause is unquestionable and he is eager to have his revenge once he has fully regained his strength.

N-12op

Moving out of turn...again. :(

 It is clear to all that it is you who are the devious one...trying to skip DE again is going to make him very sad indeed...is that your plan? Victory by sorrow??

It seems I also had faulty intelligence, as I had four rooks on the board.

You then are not making the move N-12op, correct?  It was out of turn, and you changed your mind, right?  Problem is, I have a bishop of yours on 14mn.  Did I forget something?

How embarrassing. I can't even remember when my turn is. Yeah, scratch the knight move.

My bishop is currently on 12st and I have another in hand. I'll see if I can find the move that got the former where it is.

EDIT: I see you've found it. Never mind (how long will it take before we make that one word?--I always spell it without a space the first time).
