The knights were interesting in the way they could block diagonals. You were able to very effectively trap my bede because of that, and when coordinated with a rook-like piece, it worked very well for you. I think that's my favourite army so far.

April 29:
A.D. 1429: St. Joan of Arc arrives at the siege of Orleans.
A.D. 1661: The Chinese Ming Dynasty occupies Taiwan.
A.D. 1707: Scottish and English Parliaments accept the Act of Union, forming the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
A.D. 1813: Rubber is patented by Jacob Hummel.
How about Remarkable Rookies as white, and Forward FIDEs as black? You go first.

I'm really happy to see Anthony Daniels in there. Star Wars wouldn't be the same without C-3PO...
I thought I'd be mated this turn.
So, what next? Meticulous Mashers vs. the NNs?
Or Nutty Knights vs. Fabulous FIDEs?

I don't suppose you'd want to share with me too...? ;)
If I had more than a basic grasp of Latin, I'd be willing to help translate, but I'm not quite there yet. Since you're fluent in Italian, it probably comes more easily to you anyway.
Sorry, I didn't realize you valued the Holiday Special as official continuity. I figured that most people would be glad that that monstrosity isn't canon anymore. I'll show more respect for it in the future, I promise. ;)

April 28:
A.D. 585: A war between Media and Lydia is ended by a solar eclipse.
A.D. 1686: The first volume of Isaac Newton's Principia is published.
A.D. 1770: Captain James Cook lands in Botany Bay.
A.D. 1789: Fletcher Christian and other crewmembers of the H.M.S. Bounty mutiny against Captain Bligh, who is abandoned in a boat with the remaining loyal crewmembers.
A three volume book was written about the mutiny and the survival of Captain Bligh et al. I read the second volume, but haven't gotten around to the first and third yet (they're readable as individual stories).
Why? I know of several people who could, but whether or not they'd be willing to do so is questionable.

I was hoping you would do anything besides that. Oh, well.

Actually, all the popes before Liberius (number 36) were canonized, as were the 37th through to the 49th popes. To make it simpler, the following popes, by number, rather than name, and including the ones you have already, are considered saints:
1-35
37-49
51-54
57-58
64
67-68
74-76
79-81
84
89-91
93
96
98
103
105
109
152
157
192
225
257
and of course, 261 and 264, whom you just added.
The following popes have been beautified and have the title "Blessed" (Bl.):
158-159
167
184-185
200
240
I do not know that by memory--I have a list of popes (it isn't as good as yours is, however, since it doesn't have the exact dates of their reigns).
Have fun changing them all (if you care to do so), and...sorry. ;)
Indeed, I have heard about him, hence the local abbreviation of his name. ;) I've encountered his posts in old threads, and yes, he seems to have been a bit of a sicko. I doubt his ideas will be given any thought, though, since his suggestions are pretty terrible.

Thanks, but it's my fault I got into this mess.

I just realized that this means the Holiday Special is no longer canon! It's about time such silly things get bumped out of official continuity.
Oops, this isn't going very well.

Well, I see no point in continuing. Would you rather backtrack or start over?
