Title: Chess
Post by: Archem on February 04, 2006, 03:35:21 AM: Alright, since I like Forum Gaming so much, I figure it's time I did something to promote it. So, I'm setting up some chess stuff. Basic rules of the game apply, advanced rules (like castling) are to be explained to the opponent (just in case they don't know about it), and any special rules (like any pawn that reaches the back row becomes a queen) are to be decided upon before any game starts. Post your name and any (whole) number between 1 and 5 (one being n00bzorz, 5 being pwn 4ll joo n00bz) in order for opponents to be accurately selected. When you post your move, please clearly mark what piece you have moved (try drawing a red arrow) and follow the key as well as possible. Post any legitimate, constructive suggestions as to how I can improve your experience. The board, key, and pieces are below. And no, I will not explain the game to you, so don't plan to play if you don't know (or plan to know) the game. And please, don't lie about your skill level. All games will end as a default if no moves are made in 10 days. I will be keeping a record system showing wins, losses, ties, defaults, and my percieved skill level of each player as accurately as I can. And for the sake of keeping things as unjumbled as possible, please do not challenge someone already in a game and delete posts 5 days or older (excluding the active play). Have fun!

Post by: Razor on February 04, 2006, 05:59:19 AM: wow, I was thinking about doing this only a few days ago, but then came the thought "this is way too nerdy for anyone to want to play"

But yes! I will.

SKILL LEVEL OF 2
WHEN DO WE START
Title:
Post by: neb87 on February 04, 2006, 06:02:19 AM: I will play, _sweat_ but my skill level is 1
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 04, 2006, 06:12:18 AM: We'll start whenever anyone's ready, but I think I'll wait until tomorrow to see how many others want to play. Oddly enough, I too thought about this a few days ago, but I didn't start the thread because I was thinking about how it would work. And don't feel bad if you're a 1, there are sure to be other 1s soon, and who knows, mebe you'll go up in the ranks based on how you do. Remember, these are perceived skill levels. I prob'ly won't stay a 3 for long, since others are sure to prove me wrong. And I actually was thinking about some other games, but I figured chess would be the most fun. Well then, tomorrow, I'll see how well my setup goes.

Post by: Prpl_Mage on February 04, 2006, 07:46:25 AM: Well, I´m pretty good at chess...But I always end up losing 75% of all the times... So I guess that I´m a lvl1 ChessNoob...

Anyway, why don´t someone create real pices? Instead of letters, maybe we could make our own pices just for fun.

Example. My pawns are moogles, the knights are chocobo riders, and my bishops is summoners, the castles is two Armstrong, the king is Kuja and the queen is...um...Garnet?

Well if we could get some sprites small enough for the squares or maybe just a picture with a frame it would be more fun...And you should know who are playing against who.
Title:
Post by: Razor on February 04, 2006, 08:14:50 AM: I disagree with custom chess pieces.
However, ordinary ones would be better than the letters.
Title:
Post by: DarkFlood2 on February 04, 2006, 12:40:20 PM: Skill level of 3!

Yeah we need actual pieces.
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 04, 2006, 05:39:26 PM: Alright, I'll get to that. If anyone has any that might work just as well, please submit them. I'll use whichever look best and edit them if I need to. Oh, and the games will start today. So I'll start pairing up the first games. If you have a requested opponent, please make it public by challenging them. Otherwise, just say that you're ready and I'll pair you guys up.

The rank thing is just how you would be at chess... like how you would be against someone.
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 04, 2006, 08:11:54 PM: Good call, Darky. It's not like a "Top 10" thing, it's just a skill level thing. Like Halo 2 has a level 1-50 ranking system, mine is on a much smaller scale. Anywho, here's the updated pieces and the board.

I'll give Noobpwner a 3 since he didn't give a rank. That'll be the default level.

Oh, and I have a "Current Matches" setup now. See above to see who is paired up for the first games. I'll leave it amongst you to decide who goes first.
Title:
Post by: Noobpwner on February 04, 2006, 09:30:53 PM: umm before we start im tryin to figure out how we would play?
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on February 04, 2006, 09:44:43 PM: We would copy the picture, move our piece, repost with the picture, and wait for your opponent.

I want to join.

Level 3.
Title:
Post by: Noobpwner on February 04, 2006, 10:07:12 PM: I think we should each draw the board in front of us on paint and then have the other person move the piece and not have to post as many images.

Is 3 the default level? Then atleast change mine to a lvl2 please.
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 04, 2006, 10:57:19 PM: Thank you for quoting me, Cerebus. That cleared up one question that didn't need to be asked. Anywho, do you agree with the current match-ups? If not, I'll gladly change them. Sorry, Ruler of the Dark, but you joined late, so I can't pair you yet. Also, due to limited space, I'll be acronyming long names e.g. ROTD instead of Ruler of the Dark. Sorry for using you too much, ROT-D.
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on February 04, 2006, 10:58:46 PM: That's fine, and I use RotD for short a lot anyways.
Title:
Post by: Razor on February 04, 2006, 11:45:45 PM: I'D LIKE TO CHALLENGE ARCHEM2, AS HE SEEMS TO BE THE ACTIVE CHAP.

of course, I'd be willing to BATTLE Purple Mage guy UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES HE DECIDES TO BE A LOT MORE ACTIVE THROUGHOUT THE FOLLOWING PERIOD OF TIME THAT OUR BATTLE WILL TAKE PLACE.
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 04, 2006, 11:50:04 PM: Alright, you're on! You wanna go first?
Title:
Post by: Razor on February 04, 2006, 11:58:27 PM: CHECKMATE. MUAHAHAHAHAHA.
Title:
Post by: Razor on February 05, 2006, 01:25:51 AM: WTF
I guess I didn't attach it, lol.
FINE, I'LL BE BLUE

also, because I forgot to attach, my previous post IS AUTOMATICALLY THE BEST POST IN THE WORLD.
Title:
Post by: Razor on February 05, 2006, 05:10:52 AM: I need to think of a witty remark for these posts
Title:
Post by: Razor on February 05, 2006, 08:27:24 AM: so, a blue haired summoner, an animated skeleton and a blue stick figure walk into a bar owned by a wolf-guy.
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on February 05, 2006, 06:30:10 PM: Are en passants going to be allowed?

You know, that obscure rule nobody ever knows and when you do it they think you're cheating.

If you don't know what it is, click here. (http://www.conservativebookstore.com/chess/enpass.htm)

EDIT: Oh and your board is backwards, the lighter square is supposed to be on the bottom right, not left.
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 05, 2006, 07:55:58 PM: Whatever, you can still play, right? I'll probably fix it later, but for now, I'll leave it alone. As for the en passants, how about we leave that as a special move to be decided upon before a game, ok?
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on February 05, 2006, 08:23:14 PM: This is charas chess, right?

Somehow I think this is more appropriate
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 05, 2006, 08:32:23 PM: Hey, that's pretty good thinking! Feel free to use that board.
Title:
Post by: Spike21 on February 05, 2006, 09:02:04 PM: it's kinda late but can i join.. im level 2
Title:
Post by: Razor on February 05, 2006, 09:12:08 PM: Let me reword what I said before about custom chess pieces.

What I meant simply, was that if we all used different custom pieces, it could be confusing. However, if two people used the same board, there's no problem.

Having said that, I think I'm free to say
RotD, that board rocks!!
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on February 05, 2006, 09:18:58 PM: Eheh, thanks! :D

I agree with razor.

If there are different board styles, it's be easier to see which game is which. Even different colours would work.

Do you want me to make different colour variations of the RTPchess pieces?
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 05, 2006, 09:21:35 PM: It's not too late, you can join anytime! I just started a game against Razor, that's all. You're up now... I think you're against RotD.
Title:
Post by: Ruler of the Dark on February 05, 2006, 09:29:56 PM: You're to slow, my go.

Post by: Spike21 on February 05, 2006, 10:15:54 PM: ...

Post by: Ruler of the Dark on February 05, 2006, 10:48:24 PM: What's new?

What the hell?
I'm using paint, it's not hard.

Post by: Archem on February 06, 2006, 10:33:08 PM: Razor? Are you still in the game?
Title:
Post by: Razor on February 06, 2006, 10:52:58 PM: Sorry!! I didn't see your last post on page 2
Title:
Post by: Razor on February 07, 2006, 06:20:34 AM: yeah, sorry, I was waiting for you, lol
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 07, 2006, 12:04:32 PM: Wow. This game's at 4 pages already... I figured it wouldn't have gotten past 2 or three before people stopped liking it... Even with all the posting without a play.
Title:
Post by: Spike21 on February 07, 2006, 05:11:15 PM: blah
Title:
Post by: Cerebus on February 07, 2006, 08:41:26 PM: You forgot to remove the fourth on the second row.
Title:
Post by: Razor on February 07, 2006, 09:08:13 PM: What, are you cheating, Spike? :p
Title:
Post by: Prpl_Mage on February 08, 2006, 05:49:54 AM: I´ll start mine against DarkFlood as soon as i get home.

Title:
Post by: Archem on February 08, 2006, 11:18:40 PM: Are you moving the pieces anew for each move or sumthin'?

EDIT: Question: What do you guys think of the chess board and pieces I made? I don't think I asked yet, so I just wanted to know.

Okay, but mine are better.

I think we should do something to signify if a piece is taken, like circle the capturing piece.
Title:
Post by: Spike21 on February 09, 2006, 01:39:38 AM: um this one is gone

blue=(srry i did not take it away before)
red=taken
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 09, 2006, 03:32:04 AM: Well, I could have done those, but I didn't feel up to recoloring all those little buggers. Mebe I'll think up another piece set soon. Mebe something fun.
Title:
Post by: Razor on February 11, 2006, 07:09:09 AM: Archem: Easily enough, I've been copying each move you've made into MSPaint, editing it to my move and saving it as "chess.png" to my desktop.
But when I copied it last time, I saved it to "my pictures" and then uploaded the old "chess.png"

And that explains everything.
That said, those two posts are deleted and now I'm uploading the original move
Title:
Post by: Archem on February 11, 2006, 10:16:39 PM: Well that explains everything! I've been doing the same thing, except I shun My Pictures like it's the plague. I much dislike how it insists on using that folder as the default. Whatever.

EDIT: Don't forget to delete your +5 day old posts! I just offed mine! I might make this rule a bit less strict if people can keep things in good order, so feel free to procrastinate.

Post by: neb87 on February 26, 2006, 05:56:29 AM: My game is default now (or five days ago anyways)
Title:
Post by: Razor on February 28, 2006, 07:01:51 PM: Hey Archem2, do I win an internets?
Title:
Post by: Archem on March 05, 2006, 04:20:49 AM: Sorry, I've been grounded for a while. Sure, you CAN win some internets, but wouldn't you rather OVERLOOK the "game default" rule just this once?
Title:
Post by: Razor on March 05, 2006, 10:56:56 AM: But of course. I want to win.
Title:
Post by: Archem on March 06, 2006, 01:09:38 AM: In that case...
