Yeah. *sigh* (heads off to lead some blind people and silently hopes they haven't turned off the bloody lights again)
Fen = plural for "Fan" as a proper noun. Its our group identifier apparently. (Like European / Europeans. I think. The simile could use some work.) It kind of reminds me of the Belgariad (if you've read it) and the fens of Drasnia. oO
Being mistaken as older than you are is a good thing right up until you're actually an adult. And then it just sort of gets depressing sometimes, lol. I thought you were probably my age (23-ish). It's probably at least partly your vocabulary and spelling - seeing people spel lik dis makes my eyes hurt. Also, there's been intelligent conversation. That's a big hint. (Admittedly, intelligent conversation can be hard to find amongst adults some days...)
lol Yeah. Take the queen and the king is down a life almost immediately. But since a dice roll is required anytime a piece tries to take a bigger piece (pawn takes queen / Pavarti takes Bellatix), it's more realistic because there's actual uncertainty. A pawn can take a queen... but it'll have to be a lucky pawn. The king is the only piece that bugs me. Should there be a dice roll to take a king? In a "real" battle (which chess is supposed to simulate), by the time you're taking out a king it's all or nothing, But a king can't take a king, and anything "lesser" would have to roll... which means the game would go from long to potentially endless. Whoa.
Honestly, I was thinking about them in terms of canon, where the definitely rate "pawn" status. x.x But I loves me my Draco... And the Ginnys (pre-HPB and post, because they're so different they may as well be two people) can both be awesome in their own way. :/ Hm. I suppose Draco could take the extra Knight place (being filled by a Snape) and Ginny could take Luna's place as a Rook. But I sort of like having two Snapes, to be honest. ^^; Hm. I could give him Peter's spot... "Pawn" is such a good name for that one.
Horrible feeling because I don't know programing. o.o; And this would be project two on the Big Scale of Distractions. (Project N^10^10^10 including various fics, sketches and "omg gotta try that" ideas.)
