I see nothing. I could drag it out an extra turn by dropping an SC instead, but that wouldn't be pretty useless...

Don't feel badly about talking me into that sacrificial move, because I honestly needed very little convincing to make it. I wanted to move the game along and that's the best way I saw. I probably could have avoided this situation a few turns back, but I think the outcome would have been very similar in the end. It was a good game though, and I enjoyed it. It's just too bad it was so short (not that you consider that a bad thing :)).

Alright, but we'll say that you still won, even if I make a comeback and defeat you in the end.

Um...well then. I forgot you had a captured pawn. I guess I wanted to do that, but I do not want to have done that anymore.

Well, duh. Sorry. :P

Are you sure that's what you want to do?

My king is still on 31, though, is it not? I hope I didn't mess up again...

I did, though I wasn't sure you would want to bother trading for the same piece.

Whoops, I forgot to account for that promotion when I was planning ahead. Other than that, I predicted your last four moves exactly. :)

March 25:

A.D. 421: The city of Venice is founded.

A.D. 1129: King Richard Lion Heart is fatally wounded by an arrow.

A.D. 1807: The slave trade is abolished in Britain.

A.D. 1813: The first U.S. flag is flown from the frigate Essex.

It happened again. I failed to receive a notification for darth_ender's move in the Shogi thread.

Hopefully that will get the action going again without it going badly for me. :)

About the flying generals: I think they may work as just a promoted value. Some time when I'm less tired I'll try working out a balanced piece of that sort. I don't want to get rid of the RC though...

Come on ender, I know you're online... ;)

I originally got the information second hand, but now that I've read an article about it, it looks far less likely that she actually saw it.

There was a lady who filed a report to the police about a crashed plane she had seen below a flight she was on, but it was dismissed. She was the only witness, but it was around the right place and on the same day it disappeared (but the police obviously hadn't heard any news about this at the time she filed the report). I wonder if they could have saved some of those people if they had listened to her (or if she made that up, because one would think that the police officers would remember the report when they heard the news).

Gee whiz, I can't believe I didn't catch that, especially since I don't copy and paste. :P The site I'm using as a reference gets a lot of things wrong unfortunately and sometimes I miss those errors.

SC-17

It's a pretty useless move, but I really don't know what to do right now.

March 24:

A.D. 1603: Mary Queen of Scots son, King James VI of Scotland, succeeds Queen Elizabeth I of England, becoming James I of England and uniting the Scottish and English crowns.

You need to get a sense of humour (one that recognizes a greater variety of humour) and stop being bugged by Frink so much. :P
