GC-22
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to share any profound thoughts with you because I lost my internet connection last night. I'll probably type something up this evening. As for the diagram, here you go (your pieces in bold, mine in italics):

My move is SCx26+GC and I'll give my thoughts on the game shortly (or longly, as I tend to be long-winded).

A whole week...as far as I am aware, that never happens where I live. We're too used to snow. Last year it snowed a meter (a bit over a yard for you old-fashioned Americans ;)) in about a day and school wasn't cancelled (the buses might have been, but I can't remember).
I just realized that was incorrect. It did snow almost a metre once, but that was over a period of a few days. As for the snowfall I was talking about, we only got about a foot and a half (I know, I'm not consistent with my use of the metric system, but we kind of have to know both since we interact with you old-fashioned Americans so much) in one day.

Where I live, we measure snow by 1/16ths of an inch.
Well, we do use millimeters to measure precipitation, but when there's a lot of it, we use centimetres.

Just how much snow does it take for school to be cancelled for a week? What, did you get six feet of snow?
It's an available move.
SC*19
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.

HHx29+N.

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.
