I think he's got it right. I showed that he had a pawn in hand, and I count 24 including that one. I can try to put up a screencap before moving if you want.
You know what I think? I think it was a conscious decision on Jay's part to keep the class clown's post count from reaching 40,000 ;)
Hey, we love ya Frink!
Nor have I. It's been a substantial improvement for me.

Ric, I don't know that I should say anything. I don't think allies are supposed to suggest moves, but instead simply just have to coordinate moves based on position and logic. Thus, I'd rather not kibitz. I'll tell you when the game is over. It wasn't true anyway, I just thought it was.
Post, I'll get you, my pretty, and your little rook too!
I had a thought. Since the new Rebels show has some JEJ dialogue in it, perhaps there might be some useful lines that could get pasted into this edit. Much as I like your idea about Vader talking about blasting Yavin to Chief Bast, I better like the original intent of the scene. Plus, while it's nice to have JEJ for the Interactive Video Board Game, I was disappointed that they didn't do anything to make him sound like Vader. He sounds like Jones reading Vader lines. They need to beef it up with some vocal manipulation. Perhaps something in the new Rebels lines will be useful. Just something to keep an eye out for.
Hey, did anyone notice that the forum was down for a few hours the other day?
You know what? I unintentionally set up an alliance between you and me, Ric against your dad. That said, you may not have realized how much better a move you could have made had I not done what I did. All this said, we both might want to take back our moves, if your dad's okay with it. At the very least, you should reconsider your move in light of the fact that we would be stuck in an alliance. However, I don't feel it would be fair to feed too much to you, so I'll just let you decide.
EDIT: Never mind (won't forget my space there this time). I see that it was not as good as I thought, and thus we would not have been in an alliance. So we should just keep it as is.

Need to get my extra rook back, Post. Care to oblige? ;)
LOL

Hey, don't feel bad. At least you didn't drop a rook smack dab in front of my pawn!
I'm hoping I have my board set up correctly for you to let me have your knight so easily.

I have been very busy this past week, and today I have almost no time at all. Hopefully this move is decent, as I don't have time to think it through too much.

Well, it's a very small consolation prize for me.

Oops, yes, a mistype. My former move was indeed Px10wx
Alright, I'm glad we're on the same page. No, there is no hidden alliance at work here. 'Tis better to die with honor than live in deceit. ;)
So I guess I'll proceed from here, then. Px19wx, and hopefully that's the last of my stupid moves. Darn, I was doing so well! What a terrible error :(
Hey, I was thinking about it, and you lost your rook by negligence and didn't ask to take back your move. So we can go back to my dumb rook drop and you can have it. It's fair that way.
Thanks bud. R*7tu. Like I said, I don't mind allowing take backs, as long as they are not too many and not before the third player moves.
I can't believe I'd forgotten all that. It's been a while and I've been busy with real life. Anyway, glad it's all good. And don't be embarrassed about that thread. Be proud of your family size!
D'oh! No, no trap there. In my mind I was thinking those pawns were oriented differently, facing me directly, and thus I was on the side of them. I guess because of how you lined them up.......I feel sheepish. I don't suppose you'd...let...me............
Glad to hear school is going well. You're a pretty sharp fellow, and though the French is hard, I have no doubt you'll pick it up quickly. There's no better way to learn a language than to be immersed in it.
Baby is great! She's already five weeks old! Can't believe how quickly time has passed. She's chunking up a bit, though she was a tad premature when born, so she still is pretty small for five weeks.
Had you told me you had such a little one in your home? I don't recall. That's cute. How old is the little guy? I don't know if I've ever asked, but how many kids are in your family? Where do you fall in line? My parents had 8 and I'm number 7. We have 4, but this will have to be it for us, as I think I've mentioned to you before.

I have to say, this is a hard game to play. I'm playing a pretty defensive game, both because I'm wary of attacks from both sides, and also because I worry about forming an alliance. There are so few safe cells to place anything, it's crazy!
I think we should play another game after this with an alliance in the beginning. I'm not convinced that the allied players can even win, but I'd be interested to see if it's possible.
Ric, how's school going?
I'm glad we did double check the positions. I noted two discrepancies on mine which were my fault. Thankfully they won't have affected how I would have played, but little things like that can really mess a game up.
I believe I also have a pawn in hand. There should be 24 total. I'm away from my computer right now but will try to move based on the diagram.

Print screen grabs a screenshot of your screen at that moment. You then just open something like Paint and simply paste it, then save it as a jpeg or something that a picture sharing site will accept. I am having trouble with my account and don't have lots of time to address it, otherwise I would have already posted a screengrab.
