We're back on again; spoke with Pietro this afternoon. Innocence had their solution in first, but we were both spot on. Innocence will have the first move.

Additionally, an email was sent bcc to my email address which addressed the Kings. I would wager than epiphany received the same email, but I have no idea who else it might have been sent to.

The text of the email follows:

The pawns (photos on PR's flickr site) for the Innocent Values:

1. Issac Newton (What are pawns worth?)
2. Edinburgh Coat of Arms
3. Cardiff Coat of Arms
4. Belfast Coat of Arms
5. City of London Coat of Arms
6. Welsh Coat of Arms
7. Royal Crown of Scotland (and Thistle?)
8. Virgil Reading the Aeneid to Augustus and Octavia

Are these the pawns or do we choose one of the eight for their worth?

EDIT: Whilst I am technically on the side of Innocence, sometimes it is useful to know all sides of the question:

Values of experience...

1. Mary Rose
2. DNA
3. Charles Dickens
4. Design for the medallion of the Committee for the Abolition of the Slave Trade
5. Florence Nightingale
6. Charles Darwin
7. Looks like an old letter, but the language looks modern day English (Might be to do with treason) (What are pawns worth?)
8. Guglielmo Marconi

If these are pawns you've got to wonder about the nature of the board itself.

So, while watching Merlin(Mark of Nimeuh, actually) I accidentally stumbled upon the answer. I decided to look up the meanings of the crest words. However, the drop down for google kept suggesting the words were also on pounds. So with luck I discovered what lead to the answers, pounds.

Epiphany and Levi figured out the rest:
1 pound for innocence
2 for experience.

Alrighty. So to sum up...PR posted images of each side's pawns over on his flickr account. There were a couple of conversations with PR between various people (that I won't post to save space but they were put up on the Skype group) that hinted in a roundabout way we were looking at something in the UK that connected all of the pieces...& we needed to focus on circles.

SkelJelly made a connection which can best be described as:

I'll take either the Belfast Coat of Arms or the Welsh Coat of Arms.

(Weird game indeed)

Well done on the pound solution.

9 people have volunteered to take on a pawn each...we still need 7 more volunteers. I've contacted everyone on Pietro's FB friends list but probably missed a few people. From what we can gather, the chess game won't start until we've assembled the board. So if you'd like to join the fun, please let either RedMosquito (Levi on FB) or myself (Amy on FB) know. Thanks heaps!

I don't think it's even a matter of giving personal details (although I've also heard this PM is good with not misusing them). Red Mosquito & I just want to make sure we only nominate players who *want* to be nominated. We have to nominate 16 players to be pawns on the board...we'd just prefer we have their permission to nominate them before we do Razz

Only 2 pawns needed now. So close! Surely there are two people out there who would like to volunteer themselves to be a chess piece?! The sooner we fill the board, the sooner Pietro's game can begin!
