I find it incredibly stupid that whichever teams moves first (in this case the secondary colours) is stupendously overpowered by having access to all pieces teleported by their teammates from the other boards immediatly, while we have to wait for our enemies to move and adjust to the new situation. I think there should be a rule by which it is impossible to move a piece teleported to another board for a turn.
Hm. You make a good point. I think it would be simpler and make more sense to make the pieces stay in limbo until one's turn is taken.

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

FFS, stop spamming me with scouts, Loud! It's bad enough that you've got half of all the scouts on all boards by yourself. :-/

C3-C5.

Also, GWG, can we consider the teleporting limbo rule active right now?

What we do with my friends when playing that kind of chess is that all the pieces you capture goes in a pool, and your ally can decide to draw from that pool and place a piece instead of moving a piece for its turn.

Also, I just thought that receiving captured pieces brings with it the same problem - if I receive a piece in a good position, my enemy can immediatly take it out, while if he does the same, he'll always get a move before me.

I think what should be done is all three people on a team should move simultaneously. After their move, all captures made by them (and teleports) are placed by their teammates. Then the other team does the same. This will simulatenously speed up the play, remove the possibility of fucking up ahead of time moves by not accounting for the external pieces and neatly equate both sides' power. Opinions?

I like the current system. It seems to be as unbalanced as white getting the first move in normal chess.

The primary colours have simply shown their superior reconnaissance and logistics skills in procuring such an advanced vanguard!
