Epic battle imo

love these q's chyme, gj

as if that was random.....

FYI as stated in the signup i will be attempting to move every chance i get or can. I know nothing about proper strategy and dont care to, although i will not intentionally try to make a bad move. Lucky for black i am not an important piece i dont think. I would guess it is in whites best interest to keep me alive.

Black Team:


Who on white sucks at chess? Lets keep their piece alive as long as possible and go all out to kill their best chess players regardless if the piece is that important in regular chess. If this strtategy has already been stated plz disregard as i am grunching.

wow.

wow what? did we already decide to do this? Who are we going after?

this confused me. then I got a PM with an answer laughing that I'd outed myself...that also confused me. then I realized that people might think there's a correlation between the players' secret pieces and the questions people are answering.

it's COMPLETELY random. bobo had nothing to do with the questions (other than OK'ing them for the thread.) I have no idea what anyone's game piece is other than mine.

I wrote 16 questions: 4 with black, 4 with white (for the pawns), 2 castles, 2 bishops, 2 knights, a king and a queen. then I paired up black vs white individuals, line by line as bobo orignially listed them. (WN and mute were tops on the list, and so on). then randomly filled in the 16 questions.

This is all my fault.

I didn't read that chyme actually *said* that the answers were one for each chess piece.

Then when PS said that the q's or a's all contained bishops, knights, or whatever, I thought "Oh noes, don't ruin it for people!" So I shot a pm to PS saying that he might want to let people answer the q's before giving away chyme's secret.

I suck at life (but I got my question right)! Sorry for the confusion.

EDIT: and nice q's chyme.

To: Morons

#1 Chyme has not outed what peice he is or what anyone else is.
#2 Mdd, the peices everyone is is secret so your strategy will not work, its also forbidden to talk about. There will only be a reveal of a peice when it is killed. Your post (mdd's) was sort of illegal, no more of those
#3 bM, the move was random you ass, stfu
#4 All Blacks are in, move shortly...

I'd be down for some bughouse. Fics has it, dunno bout icc

No, I mentioned that PS had outed you -- and I meant in the sense that he gave away that your questions were related to chess pieces. Like I said, I have the dumb. [If you don't understand what PS said, it's because he edited it away.]

Yes.

Again, sorry for the confusion.

And:

btw wyman, i think youre fairly new to pog, so just letting you know i often identify people ans morons douchebacgs, etc, its all a big joke i love you all(except hitch)

Opening: Pirc Defence


1. e4 d6



All but 3 White peices have legal moves, remidner PMs going out shortly.

hypermodern yo

isnt hypermodern g6 or b6?

Yet another question. I got an question from someone and I'll keep it completly anonymous. I will not reveal that it was chymechowder...

Anyway....

NO MOVE is an option which obv will be taken by most people most of the time. I only rand from moves given. The only time your peice can move without you allowing it is if EVERYONE submits no move. I thought this was clear, I guess I clarify in thread again.

Now one thing I didnt make clear is if everyone submits no move will i rand a peice and then a move or just rand from all possible moves. I myself did not think of this until a few hours ago. I decided I will rand in that situation from all possible moves (so peices with more legal moves will have a greater chance of moving )

KILL WHITEY!

Are we allowed to mock the opponent's opening in a taunting fashion, or is that considered strategic discussion?

Where is the line between trash-talking and strategy drawn?

on your face

lolol that move is terrible is fine. lolol that move is terrible because now we can do BxQ is not. i mean yeah technically loling at a move might put in in that persons head to maybenot move again next move but i wont be that stringent about it

PROTEUS THE UNMASKED QUINCE FREIGHT

Reminder:

You may only move yourself, not other people. I'm not saying anyone like lastchance tried this, but you cannot do it.

lol

that move was horrible wtfasdfasdf
