Oh, great. The players are 9 hours apart. According to their statistics, they can play only during 5 hours each day, plus an additional turn in their opponent's time, making for a probable maximum of about 6-7 moves a day.

Did you just post a bunch of vegi-dicks on my board?  I've been trying to combat forum devolution a bit, and that involves fewer vegi-dicks!

Uh, does the pusher guy want a special note for why that's a success?

e: That is a success, though.

Move fails. Don't ask why. :P

Btw, the rules of Penultima allow repositioning the piece to conform to rules, I wonder if it could apply here?

Please note: the above map is correct. Previous maps had the pusher/shogun placed on same verticals for both sides, which is wrong.

Sean, please do not use yellow color. It hurts my eyes to see bright yellow font with white background.

I was counting on the yawns not being able to take my pusher. It's all in the tactics.
