As far as I can tell, all your pieces are in the right places (as far as I can tell because I don't read Japanese :)).

Knight - 3c
The shorter way to write that is N-3c right?

Yes, N-3c is correct. In case you were not aware or had forgotten, remember that there are only two spaces at a time to which you can move your knight: forward two squares and to either the left or the right. I don't mean that you're making a mistake here, but just remember that a knight in Shogi is a far weaker piece than in Chess.

Before the porn discussion escalates, I am going to make a request:
Please, no pictures. :P

I notice alot of people like the "Hate the sin but love the sinner" quote when it comes to homosexuality. Personally I think it's because it's a nice way to tell themselves that they aren't really prejudiced against gays.
But let me give an example of "Hate the sin but love the sinner" and see if anybody thinks it sounds right? If somebody were to say...
"I don't hate Jews, infact I love Jews.. it's just people who speak Hebrew, pray in Synagogues and who celebrate Hanukkah that I really hate".
Sorry but that ^ would be totally unexceptable and makes no sense whatsover! So why is it exceptable in respect to homosexuality?
In your example that's hating both the sin and the sinner.
To phrase it better "I don't hate Jews...it's just that I think it's wrong to pray in synagogues and celebrate Hanukkah." That would be more analogous of that attitude, or at least the attitude which I hold and which Catholics, if not all Christians, should hold. Not "I don't hate homosexuals but I hate homosexuals who have sex with each other," but "I don't hate homosexuals, but I believe it is very wrong for them to have sex with each other." Maybe you don't see the difference, but it is a huge and very important one.

Hmm...I think I'm playing too defensively again. I'd better watch myself. :P

I never have, do not, and never will watch porn, so I am safe from any such hypocrisy.
EDIT: As in I am not hypocritical in that way.
Good for you. I agree with just about all of it, so there! ;)

I haven't read the thread, but here's my take. Hate the sin, love the sinner.
*A bunch of stuff almost no one read.*
Very well said.

I honestly am excited to just watch a game and see how two other players play out the game. Different strategies will emerge, and I may be inspired by you two. :)Heh, I'm just hoping that I don't become too distracted by other things that I end up falling into possibly obvious traps or something.
Yeah, I do that a lot, but not as much when I play over the internet, because I don't feel as pressured to move quickly, so I spend more time analyzing the board.

Thanks for playing Twister. Are you familiar with the algebraic notation for Shogi? I'll make the first move I guess.
R-5hWell I've been following along, roughly, with the previous games. I'm not sure if I've got it down yet but if I do have it wrong you or ender can correct me. Hopefully I've got this right.

You can check to see if I understood your move too.
Looks like you've got it.

Was it my spelling that made you think I was in the UK?

I'm super confused. I thought you were in England, but the time stamp on your post indicates you're in the USA (or a matching time zone north/south).
I'm in Alberta.

I don't suppose anyone else besides Twister has been visiting this thread?
Well, this year will be most memorable to me as the year I became an active member of the internet. ;)
It's the year I joined my first forum (this one) and the first year I contributed to anything over the internet (Frink's edits) and the first year I did a bunch of other things, including watching my first fanedits (ANH:R, TRM, and AOTR).
You ended 2013 with 30,000 minus 176. Close...but not quite.
2014 just began over here. Hope you all have a great year!

So...Twister? Darth_ender? What say you--who wants to play the next game?
Crap! I hadn't posted for a while, and now that I did, I lost all my pictures, as it took a long time. I won't have much time, so I hope twister can take you on. If not, I'll play you again soon. Just give me a few days to get through some busy stuff. Thanks again for playing me. It's really so much fun!
No worries, I can wait.
Twister, if you're there I am willing to help you get set up for a game and play with you if you wish.

... I hope he did too, and I hope that my commentary is instructive and not demeaning.
Ha! Don't worry about that. Your commentary made my mistakes clearer and further enlightened me on your strategy throughout the game.

I guess you won't make it. Oh, well, you'll likely finish within a week of the New Year even if you don't make it for the beginning of 2014.
Depends why they're holding hands. :)
I am opposed to any sort of romantic relationship between homosexuals if that is what you mean, just as I would be against such relationships between siblings, regardless of whether or not sex acts were part of the relationship.
To put it loosely and simply, sexual relations are an act between people which causes sexual pleasure/stimulation. A sex act is any act which stimulates the sexual organs/causes sexual pleasure.
I don't mean homosexuality is an activity. That's ridiculous. I may as well call psychopathy an activity. Homosexual sex is an activity, just like heterosexual sex can be considered such. Homosexuality itself is not an activity though.

So how come they haven't been changed?
Not sure. They probably have few enough weddings anyway that there's no motivation to change it. Also, I doubt anyone that young would get married anyway--leastwise not in Vatican City. If there was some problem caused by the laws, they would no doubt change it, but right now they probably don't have much reason to do so.
