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.

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.

Afaik you can play your rounds at any time, just have all results in by a certain date.
Want gunpowder, mongols, and timurids to appear when YOU do?
Playing on a different timescale and never get to see the new world or just wanting to change your timescale?

IMO its best to be ahead of schedule than behind, especially when timezones differ and you may not be able to catch your opponent during certain times later.

Losing the Queen (I saw the trap one move late) not only put me at a power disadvantage, but the timing and placement put me behind the curve the rest of the game. I struggled on, but my efforts only increased his costs, G never let me change the power metric back to even. My only consolation is that a better player defeated me in this game, and did not beat AND embarrass me as in our first confrontation. Congratulations.

I cant seem to get in touch with horus, who was supposed to be my 1st matchup.
he hasnt been on in a month, thought id let whomever know.
go to one of the others in the group. We have no more replacements, so Horus will probably have to be a "bye."
