    The second match between Caius and myself has finally concluded. Wonder of wonders, I actually managed to win this one ():

    EDIT: We only play two matches against each opponent, correct? Or do we need to play a third game if there's a draw?

    No third matches until the we're in the single elim portion.

    Stephen Assen feels the reek of camels and of dead Argentinians that fills the air... Only his firm grip on the reins of his horse keeps the terrified animal under control. He stares at the Royal head of the Black King that was put on a spear. He lowers his gaze as to show more respect to the fallen general and occasionally meets the Arabian letters.

    "One King to rule them all.
    Fifteen pieces could fall,
    but he shall ultimately survive.
    Ohterwise your enemy will thrive!"


    He smiles to himself and rides back followed by his hooded guards. Behind the hill his legions are waiting. And if his plan is correct, until Monday the next week he will invade the Rhy' Kingdom.
    One King to rule them all...

    Dedicated to the games between Cambovenzi and woad, Caius and Martok and to some extend to that between me and glypz.

    First game against Rhyfelwyr has begun!

    The purpose of a fish trap is to catch fish, and when the fish are caught, the trap is forgotten. The purpose of a rabbit snare is to catch rabbits. When the rabbits are caught, the snare is forgotten. The purpose of words is to convey ideas. When the ideas are grasped, the words are forgotten. Where can I find a man who has forgotten words? He is the one I would like to talk to.

    I made a criminally stupid move and lost my Queen, I think this game is beyond recovery. I didn't account for his Rook putting my King in check if my Bishop took his Queen.

    But I'll fight to the death nonetheless!
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
