Post Praetorian

Well I'm fine with whatever the two of you decide. I'll keep my move the same.

It is nice that the two of you are such gentlemen when at war, but as the third player I must ask myself if this does not look a bit like an alliance has formed? After all, will there not now be a desire to reciprocate the generosity of this take-back in a future equal situation?

By all means, keep your "arrangement," but tsk, tsk all the same.

Print screen grabs a screenshot of your screen at that moment.  You then just open something like Paint and simply paste it, then save it as a jpeg or something that a picture sharing site will accept.  I am having trouble with my account and don't have lots of time to address it, otherwise I would have already posted a screengrab.

 OK, I'll grab a screenshot and email it to Ric so he can post it. A team effort!

The forum can't support showing pdf files still on your computer.

 What was offered up in good faith, none of the server gods would take...

Well orthogonal then. If asked to change again, consider my move its own reply...

I'll see if I can get a screenshot tomorrow, if my dad doesn't beat me

Nah, not this time...

While we await that screen-shot, here's the grid...

I think I'm going to be needing those astericks for that other reason again...****** and *****. Oh, and wish your kids a happy birthday from "some strange guy on the internet" for me.

If I weren't such an honest person, I would say yes, but unfortunately it's the result of sleep deprivation and carelessness, as was me replacing that knight move (I bet you tricked me into to doing that on purpose, you sneak). Now I'm really going to be watching my posts closely for mustakes....

Sx14lm

You mean I should use the astericks like, say:

*mistakes or *Sx14mn ?

My move:

RicOlie_2 said:

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).

 As indeed you should: 'it' has only two letters...

RicOlie_2 said:

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

 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??

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.

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...

RicOlie_2 said:

I'm fairly certain he means B*11lm.

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

 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.

RicOlie_2 said:

I was, um...sure I said asterisk...um...

Yeah, see?

RicOlie_2 said:

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

G-14op

 You must have just, uh, misread my post....

 Ah, revising history...I have taught you well!

RicOlie_2 said:

I'm fairly certain he means B*11lm.

 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.

And yes, Praetorian, I saw the propaganda video with my bishop assuring everyone that he was being treated well while two armed and masked men flanked either side of him.  The only way you could have gotten to him was by "feeding" him powerful drugs!  I will redeem him and welcome him back to the true fold!

 Ha! To prove you wrong we have allowed him to return to the front lines...something he was very eager to do indeed!

It took very little for your Bishop to see the light.  I showed him that our ideology is clearly better and he turned after only four waterboarding sessions.

Probably can't move again tonight, but feel free to play your two turns.  See you both tomorrow :)

 Well your Bishop came around all on his own without the least bit of persuasion...all we had to do is feed him, poor thing...

TV's Frink said:

Wait, someone else has joined in?  Why wasn't I notified?

 Well consider yourself warned...I have returned...

I'll play multiple games after I'm finished my current work project. Otherwise I'm going to take too long between turns.

With your bishop in custody, we are willing to do a prisoner exchange...otherwise let the indoctrinating begin!

This other variant looks interesting as well. I'd like to try it later.

Also sign me up for the 4 player version when it launches. Maybe we could play Nimmar after that.

Ahem, well I can't make promises...but I will try to be more careful:
