Thank goodness for Admiral Ackbar, or I would have fallen for Post Praetorian's deceptive trickery!

All three of us could PM him a link. ;)
Now I know what the magic underwear thing is really about. It's something I can easily relate to, since I wear a scapular myself, and have worn an alb over my clothes literally hundreds of times when altar serving.
Il y avait beaucoup du vent aujourd'hui et hier et la journée avant ça et avant ça et probablement il y aura le même demain aussi.

My nine month-old brother stood without support for about fifteen seconds. :) He wasn't sure what the big deal was, since he's always standing up at the coffee table or a chair or a pant leg. At this rate he'll be walking at ten months.
How old are you now? Is it weird having such a young brother?
I'm fifteen as of March. I found it a bit weird for a couple weeks after he was born, since I hadn't had a new sibling for five and a half years, but now it doesn't feel strange at all. My best friend has five siblings and there's a gap of more than twenty years between the oldest and youngest, so it doesn't seem too weird to me to be fifteen years older than the youngest in our family.
I assume you're clearing the way between your rook and the Pleasure Garden, not moving another pawn. Also, do we want to exchange bishops again?
Regardless, P13pq-12qr
Is there some kind of filter you can use to make the voices sound farther away? Maybe just make them quiet, so that they're obviously background voices?

I believe Bingo intends it as background dialogue from a nearby pod-thinger.

On the contrary, I wouldn't be interested at all, and probably not even aware of this, if it wasn't Star Wars. I'm only cautiously optimistic, rather than excited, because I want to be pleasantly surprised. I think it will be far better than the prequels, but I'm trying to suppress any excitement so that I won't be disappointed if it isn't as good as I'm hoping.
Then again, that's just me. I don't get excited about much...
I'm hoping to see Episode VII on day one for the sole reason that when the thread I created explodes with people's opinions about it, I want to be involved in the discussion, or at least able to read it.

I'm excited. However, and this may sound silly, I feel kind of weird about the fact that Lucas isn't involved. While I believe any creative talent he may have had disappeared a long time ago, someone else taking over everything seems kind of...inauthentic. Kind of like if your Mom remarried while your asshole dad is doing life in prison. The new guy might be nice, but he's not your Dad
Sorry, but Lucas is Darth Vader now. The good man that he was is now more CGI than man!
Fixed.
I'm exposing myself a bit more than I'm comfortable with, but Gx14mn
I blame it on my recent Frenchification. Except that the French don't end many words in I either...
Hmm, it must be the Latin.

I wonder if the creator of Nimmar was inspired in part by Kokusai Sannin Shogi. In both, a person wins either by checkmating all the other players or by getting their "king" to the centre square. Also in both, the pieces aren't named the way most shogi or chess pieces are named, but are instead called after political concepts and non-war-related things, like "temple" in Nimmar and "Colonist" or "Propaganda" in Kokusai Sannin. (EDIT: I haven't played many chess-type games with more than two players, however, so for all I know, the former is just a common characteristic of this type of game.)
Also, I found this in the Wikipedia article:
If two players start the game as allies, the remaining player is automatically First.
I find that I keep wanting to pronounce words with Frenchy spellings the French way too, now that I'm living in Québec. Because I've only been here a short while, I'm trying to build my vocabulary by reciting a list of words and their translations every night. Sometimes I find that I'm pronouncing all the English words as if they were French and have to start over. :P
Also, CatBus, I believe the Leigh rhymes with sleigh.
And Steve from Blue's Clues.
EDIT: And don't forget Gumbi.
Xhonzi is ignoring me for using irregardless.

I hope that helps you somewhat. Also, I believe Marquand is pronounced "MAHR-kwahnd".
Like many here, I'm not hyped up about the ST, but I do plan on seeing it, and I am looking forward to it. I'm trying to keep my expectations low so that I'll enjoy it more, but they aren't low enough that if it sucks I won't be disappointed. From what I've seen so far, I think it's going to be at least moderately good, so that's what I'm expecting.
I definitely agree about the bishops. I find that they aren't terribly effective in this game, unlike other shogi variants. P13pq-12op
I was going to do the same, and seeing as I can't think of anything better, I will still do so, allowing each other's rooks to move around without worrying about PP's king reaching the Pleasure Garden.

I insist you spell "blasé" with an accent so I don't keep reading it like it's pronounced "blayz" and that you remove the apostrophe that comes after it.
With insincere gratitude,
