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.
Fair enough. We'll call it a draw and move on. I'm not keeping the board, so if you change your mind for some crazy reason, then too bad. ;)
WRONG THREAD!!!
I can think of something earlier (I'm pretty sure it's earlier anyway) but I can't remember the name of the movie...
I've made three new versions, as well as changing the board length for one of the versions. I didn't add/remove pieces, but I might do that before I send you a copy, which I'll do once I hear back from you about the board-length, gap size, etc.
Do you have a minimum/maximum number of spaces you want between opposing sides? How about the minimum/maximum length of the board? I don't want to shrink it too much or leave too large of a gap between the two sides, so I want to know what size gap/board-length you want.
I get:
Error code: ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE
when I ask to see more details.
I figured I would throw an idea your way to see if you liked it at all before I went through with it. How about putting the T/C behind the king, instead of in front? The T/C would be at the end of the board with the king immediately in front of it and two or three squares between it and the next piece. Having the king forward gives it more ability to defend itself and putting the T/C behind it prevents an opponent from dropping a piece on that square (with another piece defending that end square so the king can't move backwards and take it). Alternatively, however, you may want to move the king forward without putting the T/C behind it since that would be more conducive to paratroop offenses against the king.

I'm almost tempted to end our current game and give this a chance, but I still need to work out the setup.
"Almost tempted" you said.... Well is it "almost" or are we done? :D I'm perfectly happy with continuing for now, if you want to. And if you don't, then that's OK too.
Welcome to the forum!
And if English isn't your first language, then you've got better grammar than many who grew up speaking English!

A.D. 1570: Pius V excommunicates Queen Elizabeth I of England, absolving her subjects from any allegiance to her.
A.D. 1793: First American cabinet meeting takes place in George Washington's residence.
A.D. 1803: About 1,800 sovereign German states unite into only 60 separate states.
A.D. 1859: The "insanity plea" is first used to prove innocence.
I have good news:
...I have no bad news!
I didn't know Eric Roberts existed until tonight. Now that I know, his resemblance to himself is unmistakable.
Wow, that is a fantastic collection, Bullitt! And a bunch of rare and carded figures too. If you ever decide to sell them, you'll probably be able to make a lot of money. Not that I'd ever want to sell a collection like that if I had it...

I hope you don't mind when I shoot down your ideas. As I said, when we've hammered out these rules, I don't mind trying more powerful pieces and less powerful pieces. But for now, I want a basic, playable game. I haven't decided on a setup yet, but you are welcome to make another suggestion if you like. You may even make use of your last suggestion, which I know you spend a lot of time working on and I haven't yet shown full appreciation for. If the pieces are different, you might want to substitute the most similar piece I offer here. If you don't want to, I can work on something, but I will probably use your last suggestion as a guide anyway :)
No, I'm fine with constructive criticism and dismissal of my ideas. I throw a lot of things out there just to provoke new ideas, so don't feel badly about telling me you don't like them. It is your original invention after all, so you get the final say. :)
I'm glad my last suggestion was worth something, and I'll try to develop some new layouts for the game; probably using your ideas and working with the new rules of promotions in mind.
I've thought about the lion a bit more, and I agree with you now. My lion hasn't done much more than move back and forth this game, so I may as well have done away with it altogether. I was originally opposed to the idea of a lion anyhow, and I think my reasons still apply.
If you ever want to reference an earlier version of the board, just let me know and I'll upload the latest version of my excel document to 4shared. I include just about every board layout either of us present here, so I'll have pretty much any version you want to look at on the spreadsheet.
I need to catch up on my CW watching...I've only made it to the beginning of season 2. :(
I've never seen anything like the second, but I get my browser's version of the first. I lied about it happening at a regular time. It happened around 3:00 (MST) today and lasted about 15 minutes.
I have never watched any Olympics (aside from clips of a few seconds long that I catch here and there...
However, I just wanted to make the observation that this thread had 111 posts and 999 views at the same time, just a few seconds ago.
Thank you for your time. ;)

Gee whiz guys, I quoted Frink's link to his story in my last post in this thread! :P
and after I realized you did that, I edited my post.
No worries, I'm just teasing you guys. :)
And again for good measure:

Frink has linked to the post telling his story a few times so I'm not quite sure why you only remember references, etc., but maybe you haven't followed the link in a while. Anyhow, it's there with about as much detail as Frink has ever given as of yet.

Either way, this (and the one before it) is not the norm. If he is guilty, he should be locked up for a very long time. Incidentally, I have told my story before, but ours was done in a completely professional and humane manner (at a regular hospital, by the way). This was over seven years ago now, but thanks to changes in the law, a regular hospital can no longer accommodate needy people like us.
I think he knows the story, he just wants to hear more of it, provided you are willing to give that information.

I think not. ;) The thread was bumped, not newly posted.
