 		What's the significance of

And the value of 565? Up to the king and queen to decide.


565? Did I miss something again?

 		He's constantly changing the comments. Now it says that Jim is next and your comments about taking the King have been deleted...

Edit:

It says 568. Don't know if he edited that or not. Maybe I just can't see well...

I think Facebook is just being stupid.

There are two versions of the screencap.

He's setting up sides, I think, but I'm not sure what he expects to do with two sides consisting of mainly the same people.

Quote:
Vladimir

Go with the other version.

There are two sides to every sky.
8:50pmBeka

Are you suggesting I stage a coup? or are you simply being mysterious?
8:50pmVladimir

No. I am saying there are two versions of the rankings on display.
8:50pmBeka

Aaaah.

So which is which?
8:51pmVladimir

Once Jim has chosen his piece/position, I will ask you for yours. But you, it seems, only play on one side/version.

Wich is which.
8:52pmBeka

Heh. So there's sides in this? However do you expect people to play between themselves?

 		Don't worry. I thought that might happen.
I took a screenshot. This time not edited. I know why he's doing it.
He figured I would take a shot, as proof, and that after seeing my edited shot, people wouldn't trust them from me.

Unless I'm just being paranoid.

Any way. I've met my 'attachment quota' so I'll have to upload it elsewhere.

Any way :

The king is not to talk while Jim is to choose his position.
8:53pmJames

And what gives one the authority to silence a king?
8:54pmVladimir

Divintas and authoritas.
8:54pmJames

A Deo rex, a rege lex

Vladimir

You believe now in a higher power? Now the Son has shone upon thee?
8:55pmJames

Well, I was more using it as a metaphorical phrase.

In my mind, it's to be taken as that if one judges the ruling of a King he or she is judging the word of God - which one wouldn't want to do. Basically saying what would stop me from talking.

But, i'm just teasing. I know my place.

I think the PM anticipated more people. Many of Vanessa's tweets are tagged #arg, I think in the hopes of finding more players.


I have no idea how this is going to work. But it will be interesting. Facebook is being weird, though. I keep getting connection timeouts and error messages.

 		Just a little thing I noticed.. If you guys read what's in the search bar in my screen cap - No, I'm not a retard. I was looking up a quote from Metalocalypse. (You can see the folder for it down in my taskbar.)

I was just looking at the shot and facepalmed. I was like "...yeah, they're going to think I'm a retard now."

Any way, I agree with that, Dawn.

It would seem so. Note to self: always prepare for a few people with the option of expanding for more, or at least have a backup plan in case you don't get as many people as you want


HOWEVER, it might be on purpose. More conversation:

Quote:
Vladimir

Do you always stick to your decisions in life or do you ever change your mind...

What if both were possible?
8:59pmBeka

Interesting thought.

I tend to not regret the choices I make.
9:00pmVladimir

Not talking about regret. Many people think about changing the line. I am talking about splitting it, seeing both.
9:02pmBeka

Still. I think playing both sides of a decision might prove a bit... more complicated than one would expect. But that's just me.

I'm a pretty straight-forward woman.
9:03pmVladimir

Time to stretch your limits then my dear. You will be a rook then, orthogonal when the time comes?
9:05pmBeka

most likely. Being the queen has a bit of draw to it, but I think I might not have the right type of ambition for it.

Question, though.

It doesn't seem as if we have many players for this game.

And I don't assume you would have us all play on the same side.

Does this mean pieces will be left out?


No response yet.

 		I just asked him what would be done since Jane and Jim aren't online. They still have until 1:11am to get their pieces. He told me the board is almost ready.

 		Aaand I got my response.
"I take fictional games as they are intended."

Edit : Jim is a bishop.

Jim took the King on the other one.

I don't understand why he is playing this game with us. He obviously doesn't want to (see his drunk post from earlier).

ETA:
Since I've had a lot of time to just sit and think since I went first, I this this is less about chess and more about personalities. He chose the Bishop, not so much for its movement, but because it "an advisor, one who moves diagonally rather than jumps over others to get in line, and one who usually is best in the background."

I personally think he's trying to judge us and see if we're fit to make out positions.

Jim and I played a lot of chess last night, so hopefully that's got me ready for this.

Out of Game
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Personally, I think he's trying to keep it interesting. What's better than having all the current players playing at once instead of each of us working on our own thing?

 		He's been chatting with me a bit still - nothing too important, but he referred to himself both as a "humble bishop" (offering advice), and a jester. And then said we were only partaking in court banter.

I chose queen.

Quote:
Beka Cavanaugh
I am tempted to choose a Rook or a Pawn, so it can't be said that I was too brazen.

However, I believe that the proper choice for an ambitious woman, in this situation, is the Queen.

We'll see if my ambition proves fruitful.


Vladimir Sirin
Beka is Queen.
"`Well, this is grand!' said Alice. `I never expected I should be a Queen so soon -- and I'll tell you what it is, your majesty,' she went on in a severe tone (she was always rather fond of scolding herself), `it'll never do for you to be lolling about on the grass like that! Queens have to be dignified, you know!' "

He asked me if I know how to juggle.
