Do you care if you use thee and thou correctly? Right now you consistently use the former when Watto is speaking and I was just curious if that was intentional, or if his speech is meant to be archaic and you want to use "thee", "thou", "thine", and "thy" correctly. The way it is is fine though since Watto doesn't use grammatically correct speech a lot of the time anyway.

I recall finding a "thee" in Watto's dialogue when I was going over the script for TPM a few years back, so I decided to make it a general part of his dialect when I was writing my previous Ep. I rewrite; making him sound archaic isn't something I was going for then or now (I'm trying to make him sound more like an Eastern European Italian gangster, actually, if that makes any sense).

That works for me. :)

February 27:

A.D. 1670: Leopold I orders the expulsion of Jews from Austria.

Those Jews have always had such a rough time of it...

A.D. 1844: The Dominican Republic gains independence from Haiti.

A.D. 1854: Composer Robert Schumann is saved from a suicide attempt in the Rhine.

A.D. 1945: Lebanon declares independence.

I couldn't get on between 12:00 and 1:00 AM MST and I gave up trying after that.

ANAKIN: (exstatic) Right on!

Deactivating his lightsaber, Obi-Wan turns to regard Anakin, he simply stands there frozen, his mouth agape with amazement at the feats he just witnessed. Beru, Nellith, and Owen -- clutching his wounded shoulder -- exit the house, attracted by all the commotion.

 I enjoyed it as usual, but it's time for nitpicking now. ;)

"Exstatic" should be "ecstatic" and you may want to make it more clear that Anakin is the one standing there frozen. Because Obi-Wan is the subject, the "he" refers to him as you have it, even though you don't intend it that way. I suggest you replace "he" with "the boy" to make it clear who you mean.

Do you care if you use thee and thou correctly?

Otherwise, great job again; I'm enjoying the read.

Wow, this is a fascinating idea Neverar. Where do you come up with these things?! Too bad this kind of thing isn't likely to happen with the upcoming sequels...

No move?

EDIT: Never mind.

I'll make a diagram for you, then.

Happened again with this thread: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/The-thread-where-we-make-enemies-out-of-friends-aka-the-abortion-debate-thread/topic/13620/post/692545/#TopicPost692545

This has happened with two of darth_ender's threads, two of Warbler's threads (twice on one of them), and twice on another thread by Beatleboy99. I can't figure out any consistent pattern though. :(

Some guy tried to carry a bomb onto a train. I don't know how much I'm allowed to share because my source is the nephew of some kind of special forces sniper.

Will do. I noticed the title problem too, but thought that by changing it in my above post I would fix it. I guess I need to edit the first post.

Neither do I. If I want to use poor grammar and spelling, I have to make a conscious effort to do so. Meanwhile, my peers can't capitalize, punctuate, or write complete sentences.

February 26:

A.D. 364: Valentinian I is proclaimed Roman Emperor.

A.D. 1732: The first American Mass is celebrated in the first American Catholic church.

A.D. 1848: The second French Republic is proclaimed.

A.D. 1938: The first passenger ship is equipped with radar.

A.D. 1952: Winston Churchill announces that Britain has its own atomic bomb.

I'm curious about your thoughts on version 13. Do you think the addition of those pieces is a bad idea? Did I place too many restrictions on them, not enough, or do you think I limited them enough but not more than enough? Would they work in a version of the game with more powerful pieces? If so, should they have fewer or the same limitations?

I'll hear/see from you in the morning, hopefully. Good night.

Wearable computers exist. Lobot has one around his head and Darth Vader probably has a computer running his suit. I don't know about computers with viewscreens and whatnot, but there must be somewhere in the galaxy.... If not, then they definitely do have the technology for it.

I don't think three spaces is too much. If we want to set up a better defense, then we can do so during the game. Right now, each square in front of the king is defended by two pieces (including the king) at the start, so it should be fine.

We seem to have a pattern going here: we've played version 4, 8, and now 12. :)

I'll make the first move: Gs-22

Sorry, I guess you're just going to have to get glasses. ;)

I'm too lazy to repost them all, so here's the link to the Flickr page they're on:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/116541968@N03/sets/72157641544199023/

Click on the photos, click on them again, and if you still can't read it, right click and select the size you want to view them in, all the way up to 2048p. If that doesn't do it, then you need to see an optometrist. Maybe I'll repost them when I have nothing to do, but right now that is not the case.

I had no luck with VirtualBox. At least it was already installed, but the silly scanner software wouldn't install. But I finally took pictures today (I rushed them so they're aren't perfect) and here they are:

There are four colours (one for each player): silver, gold, white, and black. The pieces are set up in each of the four corners, like this:

i had food shaped like an aminal 1ce. it was pandcakes and it was grate

R we allowed  too use propper grammar and speling now tack cuz i think frink n donimic want 2? thx

ikr

Were there any attempted terrorist attacks that made the news? I only know of one that didn't (make it to the news, that is)...

u used good gramar fink! ur asposed to use bad gramar plus bad selling to lol

That sounds promising.

ur welcum

this looks 2 me more like a bad speling thred then a bad grammer thred so y is it called da bad grammmer thred cuz it is also 4 bad speling lol

?

Regarding the T/C being a T/S, I agree. That gives the promoted value a greater ability to retreat than the demoted value, which is what we were going for anyway.
