See my edit (trust me, I made it before I saw your post). ;)

Carp, I forgot ramshead soldiers couldn't go backwards! *mutters*

SC*21

EDIT: Hold that, I removed my heavenly horse but didn't move your phoenix.

OK, GC-20 is my move.

Exactly. If you were forced to keep your little feud contained in PMs, it would die off.

*groan*

Get a room you too. Take this to PM-land. We don't need your petty arguments cluttering up everyone's threads.

SCx22+GC

 You have everything right, except you didn't note this promotion.

You can take it back if you want. I think you have a better chance than you realize if you do take it back and I think I can still do well if you do something different.

If not, HH-23

That was unexpected. Now both your lance and your knight are trapped, which protects me from all but your phoenix...I had better keep an eye on him.

Can a gold cannon jump over a piece without capturing? Anyway, I have to go now and I want to think about my move for a bit. Thanks for being patient.

G*29

Yikes, I didn't realize how well you had me trapped. I thought I was going to be able to make a come-back next turn, but it looks like I'll have to wait a while and hope I don't get checkmated in the meantime.

Hold your horses!

I'm so good at making puns I do it unintentionally. ;)

SCx22+GC

I hope that was a smart move. I see a way you could turn that back at me, but I've got my fingers crossed...

I see--since both of them are themselves references to the North American Pizza chain, it's hard to tell which one a person is referencing. :)

Hold your horses! Sorry, HH*20 was a correction of my move, not a response to yours. I wanted to make sure you were staying with your original move before I responded. :-/

I assume you're sticking with it (but correct me if you aren't), and if so, my response to your HH drop on square 26 is RS-27.

I love the Spaceballs reference. :D

Truth be told, any reference to Spaceballs in there must be totally coincidental, because I didn't deliberately insert one (I can't even recognize it).

I thought this: "MAC: Beats me. Whatever it was, it's hutt pizza now" was a reference to Pizza the Hutt in Spaceballs who eats himself to death. I guess not. :D

I'll take your word for it...

LOL! That avatar has my vote too. :)

HH*3f

 I assume you just mean 3? If so, HH*26

 No, sorry, that was a silly goof on my part due to the way I have my pieces set up. 3f is shorthand for 3 spaces forward on my board (as in the legal move for a knight), so I copied my captured knight over from my pieces box and then decided to change it to a heavenly horse. For some reason I wrote the knight's move ability instead of the square I meant, which was 20. :P

So HH*20

Also, I don't have a go-between in play at the moment, it's a pawn, and I have a goose/phoenix in your captured piece box.

HH*3f

Have you PMed Jay to sort things out yet?

I knew Nero wasn't directly after Tiberius, so I think it means something else. I don't remember what exactly, because I can't remember from reading Tacitus' Histories and Annals.

^Don't forget to promote it.

Gsx12+Ph

Ouch, that sucks. I was wondering what the heck happened to you. Hopefully you get everything sorted out. I'm sure Jay will forgive you. :) Good luck with your computer.

Thank you, I'm glad you think I'm doing so well. I think you have just about as good a chance of winning in the end as I do, to be honest. I'm in a slightly better position, but we have the same pieces on the board right now.

SC-19

Is this workable, Jay?

I don't really give a hoot as to what they do and don't keep. For me, I will read the EU novels just for themselves, not as part of a larger canon. It's just a fun way to explore the Star Wars universe and I don't really care if it is consistent or not.

One thing I cannot stand is puke. It's worse in real life, but I can't watch someone puking in a movie without feeling sick myself. Even cartoon puke has that effect on me. I guess that doesn't really count as a phobia though.
