How did I not see that? :(
I really need to work on not always moving my king back all the time. Almost every game of Ito Shogi we've played has ended with a drop behind my other pieces, moving my king to the wrong spot, and a drop that traps my king. It was fair though, and I wouldn't take my move back even if you offered it.
What bugs me though is that I could have checkmated you in two moves had I avoided that. I was just waiting for a chance when I didn't have to worry about your RC so much and my king was more safe.
To be honest, I thought the pieces worked well as they were this game. However, we can try a weaker bishop if you want. I think the game demonstrated that a good, fun game can be played with the set-up and pieces we have now, but that doesn't mean it can't be improved (I think we could be getting close to a finalized version though).
I also noticed that the SC hardly got any use. However, you have to remember that when we played before, the SC was also a GC, so it was able to jump pieces no matter what its value was. Additionally, we were allowing drops with either value facing up. That allowed the silver cannon to be dropped onto the board, but now only the reverse chariot can be dropped. So it isn't just the removed pieces that have made it a less-frequently used piece, but also the altered drop rules and the merger of the L/RC with the GC/SC. I think the piece itself is definitely fine as it is.
As for drops, I kind of liked that only the demoted value could be dropped, but we could try another game with the original rule. If we did so, I'd like to make that the only change, so we can better compare the two. Thus far, we have not played more than one game with the same set-up and I'd like to play the next game without any major changes.
I was surprised at myself this game as well. :) I analyzed the board a bit more and was able to accurately predict many of your moves. I think I've become a lot more conscious of the paratrooping aspect as well and am not as surprised by your drops as I used to be. Now that I'm paying more attention to that aspect, I try to defend my pieces against both your pieces in hand and on the board. That awareness of the drops is probably what allowed me to do so well.
So are you OK with playing another game and only changing the drop rules to allow either value to be dropped face up?

I edited my last post, in case you missed it.

And yes, our boards are in agreement.
Too bad I didn't think of that...I knew your computer had frozen. :(

If it would have affected your move, feel free to take it (SCx22) back and do something else.
No wonder. :D I didn't take a very close look, so if it had a caption or anything, I didn't see it.
It's pointless though. I disagree with creating discontinuity just because. If George and others want to change someone's origin story, or break continuity with a novel's plot, then that's their prerogative and I'm fine with that. But altering small details for no apparent reason just seems silly to me and I think it would be better to go with whatever was there previously.
If that pic of her with Chewie is recent, she's looking pretty good, considering how she looked just a few months ago.
The fact that he just changed a silly name for pretty much no reason is what makes it annoying and stupid. Why bother? There's already a name for it, so why must it be changed?
Assuming the Deinonychus is named after the dinosaur, you only spelled it right the last time. :)
You're right, I'm sorry. I moved your queen instead of your king, I guess...
Good news, good news...oh, yes, today my baby brother was baptized and I came second place in a speaking competition (though there were only five contestants at this level).
The first may not mean anything to most of you, but it's the more important one for me. :)
You can't capture my goose on 22. Assuming you meant 23, which has a pawn on it, my move is T*24.
That's illegal...your pawn on f2 is pinned (ender's bishop puts you in check if you move to f3).
Shoot, I won't be able to finish executing my master plan. :P

I'm getting nervous now...
Any time. :)

And what's with the whole "balance to the force" thing? It seems to be contradicted all over the place and nobody seems to know what it actually means.

I'm glad I noticed the missing FS, otherwise it would have taken me by surprise when you dropped it. I guess I'm not doing as well as I thought I was... :P

there's a possibility that two people share the same IPs.
there is? how does that happen? (other than two people using the same computer)
A workplace might have a shared IP address for all its computers, for instance. It's uncommon though.
Did we just get an update? The site's going wonky.
Read the following thread (including the links if you still don't see it):
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Who-are-all-members-with-Team-Blu/topic/16483/page/1/
He was obviously trolling.
Yeah, there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity in this part of the forum. There are only two threads in the Script Writing section that I've read, including this one and I doubt many do much more reading than that over here.
Regarding the gory scene that I was whining about: it's better now, so I'll stop criticizing it. :)

I'd also just like to say thanks for the feedback, Ric_2. I think there'd be a fair amount of untrimmed fat sticking to this script if you weren't around to help inform me on what works and what doesn't.
My pleasure. :)
Too bad it seems to be just us two for the most part...not many people have shown interest.
