January 7:
1610: Galileo discovers the first three moons of Jupiter: Io, Europa, and Ganymede.
1714: Henry Mill patents the typewriter.
The evolution of the keyboard began here...(unless you want to start with the invention of the alphabet).

Well doggonit, I don't know why I keep make silly errors like that, but I'm glad I'm showing the links too so you know what I meant to do. Again, I apologize.
Hey, it happens to the best of us.

I thought you might. Technically only one gold general could have gone to that square, so I did not specify, but it occurred to me that you might forget that the other might not be able to make that backward diagonal step.

I think you called the G-5b instead of G-5a, because I'm using the BCM Games Shogi software, which doesn't allow me to make illegal moves. But it doesn't matter, since my board now matches yours.

Let's try a strategy I've never tried before.

Those links are being helpful this game. I moved the wrong gold general in turn ten.

Finally a post here! This thread's been dead for two months.
I'm just doing my bit to keep this thread appropriate enough for me to read. ;)
Most new users would
a) pick up on the sarcasm
and
b) be more likely to be scared of with your hostility and your lack of humour.
Sure, maybe I should have left it Off Topic, but I figured enough people would get it that it wouldn't be a big deal. I guess I was mistaken.

I reek of Frink because I have a similar sense of humour. However, if you check out my thread here to see that I have an unusual amount of devotion to my sock account if I am a sock. And if I seem like Frink, that thread indicates otherwise.
Episode I: I prefer not to. Obvious reasons.
Episode II: See above.
Episode III: See above.
Episode IV: Adywan's version. I love his colour correction and his removal of stupid SE additions, and I also love his other additions like the improved graphics and TIE reveal as well as all the new rotoscoping and technical fixes.
Episode V: Will be Adywan's version for the reasons stated above, but is currently the original (though I've only seen the 2004 DVD version of it).
Episode VI: It will be Adywan's for the same reasons as the other movies (and I am also looking forward to any big changes he does to the Battle of Endor), but until then it is the original (though again I've only seen the 2004 DVD version).
Episode VII: I generally don't watch it, seeing as it doesn't exist yet and all that.
Episode VIII: See above.
Episode IX: See above.
Besides, you can ask the mods if you are so convinced. Not that that is conclusive, but it supports my non-sockiness.

Well, it's still a bit of a pain, since I would have switched the placement of my gold and silver generals, but I made the error, and it's not too big a deal. I'll work with it.
Oh, well, it could have been worse.

Well, it proves that I was here before Ric was banned.

Its got to be a pun on TFN.
I've suspected RicOlie_2 was a sock since it appeared after the first RicOlie was banned as a sock ..... I just don't know how to prove it.
:(
Check my join date and you are effectively un-proved.
I wrote my post in such a way that it would be easy to tell I meant the exact opposite, and then you could gather that the other stuff didn't bug me. So I thought, anyway. You don't seem to catch on very quick though. ;)

Oopsy. Can't even read. I'll fix it. Sorry.
No prob, but it would have been a bother if it took too long to catch.

So Ric, who does the little sock puppet head in your avatar represent?
LOL, you are so entertaining!
Based on your join date, I would think no, but you sure act like one.

I think some people need to learn how to pick up on facetious sarcasm.
LOL, no kidding! I'm beginning to suspect he's a sock!
You have no idea ......................
Wait, is that confirmation?
If you didn't pick it up at the last sentence, Jetrell, then you're either failing at sarcasm, or my attempt at humour is going waay over your head.
I meant the exact opposite of what I was saying and I made it pretty clear (I thought so anyway...I wasn't that bad, was I?).

^LOL, same!
The nice thing about this thread is that I have an excuse to bump it every day (and it's educational!). ;)

I'm glad you posted the link because there's already a discrepancy. You have my pawn at 2f, but I called 7f. Other than that we're on the same page.

Yes, that is correct, but I think Duracell knows that now. He was just saying that he was taught differently when he was growing up.
