I'll take black.  Are we just using that little board to play?

Also, I'll be gone for about 24 hours, starting now.

Just a note, when we start using vertices, I'm going to switch into images. XD

Frelock, feel free to use the complex Chess notation or to just say what you want to try."

I do suppose you will send the full complement of rules to us spectators. Because I don't understand two things: Why my Yawns are not mentioned, and why are two Samurais in the front row.

Btw, other than the pusher and my yawn, this looks like some medieval japanese battle with tanks.

Oops

Awesome! I've always wanted to watch my tanks scythe through hordes of Japs! No offense to scythes, tanks, or Japanese.

Oops, forgot to name the Yawns, but they're up there. Thus the "Y" lines.

Wait, now I'm confused.  ???

First of all, is lowercase exactly the same as white ( as in, am I on the lower half or upper half of the board ? ), second, shouldn't I know the movement/special rules for all my tanks and yawns and what not?

Anyway, ignoring all this, I move the fourth yawn from the right one step forward ( if I can ). I forgot how to do Chess notation. >_>

It shows alright in Opera, but it's awfully messed up in IE, because of the glow tags. Consider using a table array instead.
Code: [Select]
[table]
[tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[tr][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][td][/td][/tr]
[/table]

Or do pictures.

Asheron, the point of the game for the players is figure out the rules and play. The spectators are usually there to say when a move is legal or not, in this case move is legal. You lose a turn when your move is illegal, unless it is illegal because it puts your King (Shogun in this case) under threat, in which case you get to guess again.

Let's have the spectators (who know all possible moves) say it thus:
Yawn E2:E3 is legal .
