If you're going to tell us you're joking, please also include your actual move.
Alright, I will. I won't be able to tell the difference very well now, but it'll definitely make a difference when I'm back in Alberta, with 9.1 surround sound. :)
The guy with the red lightsabre is unfortunate, however. I was hoping we were going to avoid that kind of thing.
EDIT: It looks like the chrome trooper has a lightsabre. Perhaps that aspect of McQuarrie's work will make an appearance after all.
I just noticed, with timdiggerm's reposting, that the second picture (in his order) has what looks like a crashed Star Destroyer in the background. That should be interesting. And we now know what the pig things are going to be used for.
If by they you mean Canadians, yes, we have turkey, stuffing, and all the good stuff you Americans eat at Thanksgiving. By the time you have your Thanksgiving, it's usually about three weeks to a month into winter (at least it is in Alberta), which is why we celebrate it earlier.
As for the Québécois, they just have a regular supper, as they aren't generally a thankful lot. ;)

Yes I can, I will do that when I get home tonight.
Fibber. ;)
When I saw that you had reposted that list, I was worried for a moment that Pope Francis might have just died. I'm glad that you just sainted and beatified some of the popes instead. :D
I didn't realize before today that the Québécois don't celebrate Thanksgiving. To them it's just another long weekend.
Just go with the following comment, which I missed:

You know, though it seems illogical to me, I'd rather play the game as close to the correct rules as possible, and nothing indicates that the zones disappear. Perhaps it won't be as big a deal as I thought. We shall see. But for now I'll say I'll go for keeping them.
My dad seems to be of the opinion that you should keep them, so you may as well, since your only disagreement comes from the guy who isn't affected by this...
Do you plan to upload all the rest of your covers to soundcloud eventually? If so, be sure to repost the link here.
Although all pawns start out being able to go towards either of the other two promotion zones. I would say that it is no longer a promotion zone, because there is no longer anything defending it, thus making it too easy to promote. All one has to do right now is paratroop or move a piece there and it is promoted, which is too easy.
No kidding on the design. It looks like they pretty much just ripped off the OT and plagiarized that Ralph McQuarrie guy. ;)

Ah, I see you are not used to fighting Amazonians! Yes, they make fine warriors--but don't steal their hairbrush!
I never would have thought the Amazonians were so good at sharing as to have only a single hairbrush between them!

Ric, a ref would be good. Just following along on the progress of the game and catching any errors and perhaps a screenshot every now and then would be much appreciated, if you are able to do that. :)
No, that wouldn't work, sorry. ;)
Now that I no longer have a stake in this, I'll be referee and be sure to call you both out on any violence or aggression I see.
Besides, didn't Columbus oppose the slavery, at least to some extent...or was that Queen Isabella? Sometimes things get confused in my head.
When I used the word perfect, I meant it more subjectively. Now that I think about it, I would probably dislike the same things in the cover and the original (for instance, one song sounded like it had too many tracks layered over top of each other, but that's pretty common in heavy metal and is likely something I just need to adjust my ears to after listening to Beethoven for the past couple weeks). Because I'm only listening on a single earbud (the other side's broken and the speaker system is back in Alberta, out of reach until next year), I can't pick out how well things are balanced, etc.
Your last upload is my favourite, followed by "The Trooper" and "Every Time I Die", then "Alteration", but they're all pretty good. I don't suppose you can make the non-downloadable ones downloadable?
Followed by "are you an angel?" from Darth Vader?
You'd be hard-pressed to find a genre I didn't like, and instrumental rock is no exception. :)
I think that sounds great! Of course it isn't perfect, but I would definitely listen to it (and others like it) without coercion. :D
I'm checking out the rest you have on Soundcloud and am enjoying them equally if not more.
If you want more people to hear your music, for starters do what I do on Flickr: comment on/like other people's work on SoundCloud and follow the ones you really like, in hopes that they will reciprocate. Beyond that, I have no advice, but that's a good way to start.
Keep up the good work. I wouldn't mind hearing more.
Also, Is there a reason there's an option to download some of your covers, but not all of them?
I believe I had the path your rook took defended (from row 11 to 15 anyway) at some point (maybe I never really did, but only thought so because I was overlooking something), and I think that changed when I moved some pieces without me really thinking about it. I didn't really look at it too closely after that, and figured it was well enough protected by my gold and silver generals, though I never really checked for sure. So it was just carelessness on my part.
I'll still follow the game, but one of you hurry up and finish off the other so I can play again. ;)
I knew I should have double-checked to make sure all those hexes were covered... Ah, well, no worries. I guess I'm relegated to the sidelines for now. It's a pity the first move rule for the king doesn't apply under check...
Well, for the rest of the game you two only have one bishop to share between yourselves. Next time I'll be less hesitant about dropping my pieces on the board. I could have easily saved my neck.
There is no impact on my strategy either, and our boards are in perfect agreement, so let us continue. Your turn, ender...
Ah, yes. I originally didn't promote it for that reason, but later did, forgetting that it hadn't been moved there.
Happy Thanksgiving to all you who don't celebrate it in winter!
And also happy whatever else it is you do celebrate down south...Cobumbus Day, or something. ;) I think we should start celebrating Lief Ericson Day on the American Thanksgiving. After all, he beat Columbus to it by almost 500 years (and he didn't think for a minute that he was in India).
Everyone, back off topic, right now!
