Wow ouch FranFran!

RIP Club Fran!

Fran Triple RIP!

RIP Fran. He outlived us though.
Just came back from the *chess*, have to get up for work in 3h and get lots of stuff done before flying to BKKmöller on Thursday evening. Also horseracing and Santa party tomorrow evening. RIP me. Also lost quite a bit in the *chess* cos <badbeatarding redacted>. I blame Morph. I already miss the club though, going to be away for like one month, pretty fun group of peeps

People often overplay their Queens in chess!

Hi fidstar. Hi morph.

Argentina obv. using 4th generation Nazi moonbase technology to win.

And that guy Messi. Seems like an okay player from what I hear.

Brag: I can play some chess, like I know (roughly) some openings and allowed/non-allowed moves and can beat someone who is worse than me, which is prolly a non-insignificant part of the world population. Not so much the seriously chess-playing population though
Beat: Honestly, it prolly doesn't make any difference, if they follow it (unlikely) they do, prolly not, who knows, and I'm prolly not interesting enough to go after me, but obv I live in a challenged jurisdiction, and if something really were to happen, it would likely not be like in the US or other places where they would just go after the operators. So I put in a little bit of <code> here occasionally whether it helps or not. I think everyone can read through it
Variance: We live in a shadow world, the shadow world is big here, and full of crazy stories...

We are so drunk overhere that fireworks are all around zagreb gagagagahahsshfhahaa **** you sammy

Prolly. Don't underestimate that 4G moonbase tech though, that's what the gals really want these times. Moar than whatever mod mutants

AaaaAAa Actually I was completely sober coming home from the *chess, that mangosteen liquor then really fuarked me up. Anyways made it back into the office now, so there's that

RIP Franko

wtf is *chess?

probabilistic chess; you throw a D12 with every move to determine if it works

How does that work with the knight horsey?

That's what the chancer is for! Here are the rules for those who haven't heard of it yet:

1. Each player has a set of pieces, as in standard chess, with the exception of the knight, which is replaced by a new piece called the "chancer."

2. At the start of each turn, the player must roll a 12-sided die (D12) to determine if their move can be carried out.

3. If the roll is equal to or greater than the number of spaces a piece is moving, the move is successful and the piece can be moved as normal.

4. If the roll is less than the number of spaces a piece is moving, the move is not successful and the turn ends.

5. The chancer piece is an exception to this rule and always requires a roll of 12 to move successfully, regardless of the number of spaces it is moving.

6. If a player rolls a 12 on their turn, they can choose to either carry out a move as normal or use the 12 as a "free pass" to automatically succeed on their next move, regardless of the number of spaces moved or the roll of the die.

7. The game is won when a player places their opponent's king in checkmate, as in standard chess.

I'm no good at chess, but I might play a game of this, if you find an online co-op version.

I'm not aware of any. There are all kinds of interesting variations of classic board games, for example Sumo-Checkers!

The game of Sumo-Checkers is a combination of the strategic movement of checkers and the physicality of sumo wrestling. The game is played on a standard 8x8 checkers board, with each player starting with 12 pieces on the dark squares of the board.

The objective of the game is to either capture all of your opponent's pieces or force them to forfeit the game by knocking over their pieces.

To make a move, players must first move their piece according to the rules of checkers: pieces can only move diagonally and can only move forward to an adjacent empty square, or they can "jump" over an opponent's piece to an empty square on the other side, capturing the opponent's piece in the process. However, in Sumo-Checkers, a player can also choose to push their opponent's piece instead of jumping over it.

To do this, players must first move their piece to a square adjacent to their opponent's piece. They then initiate a sumo wrestling match by pressing the top of their opponent's piece, while their opponent tries to resist the push by pressing back. The player who successfully pushes their opponent's piece off the board wins the sumo match and earns the right to move their piece to the square previously occupied by their opponent's piece.

The game ends when one player has no pieces remaining on the board or when a player forfeits the game by knocking over all of their own pieces.

Ok I admit it; i pulled another high-tech prank on y'all!

Thanks Morph.

What can I say? Just let them replace us!

Luckily, trolling and being mean seams to still be a human stronghold!
