Conquer Club

So a long time ago (almost exactly three years ago... holy shit), I invented a board game which I road-tested on the CC forums. The rules are explained in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=62&t=63501

After that game, I realized it'd be easier for me to have the game be text-based: viewtopic.php?f=62&t=65750&hilit=pandi

Basically, I think it's a shame that I never kept at it. It's a fun game, I think. So: who wants to play?

This is the board:
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | G
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | F
| _ | _ | @| _ | @| _ | _ | E
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | D
| _ | _ | @| _ | @| _ | _ | C
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | B
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | A
| a | b | c| d | e | f | g

Edit:

This is the turn order (according to random.org, and therefore me):
1. drake -- blue
2. Haggis -- red
3. pcm -- green
4. Ink -- orange

show: Move history

Well, it took me a bit to refigure it out, but I got it. In for sure.

ah i remembered this being played im in

OK, we just need one more person.

/in.

OK, the game's started. When you make your move, post the new board as well as the coordinates of your move. And if you don't understand something, ask!

I think you should post the updated board as well, as in:

| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | G
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | F
| _ | _ | @| _ | @| _ | _ | E
| _ | _ | @| _ | _ | _ | _ | D
| _ | _ | @| _ | @| _ | _ | C
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | B
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | A
| a | b | c| d | e | f | g


Anyway, i think I'll plagiarize your move:

De:
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | G
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | F
| _ | _ | @| _ | @| _ | _ | E
| _ | _ | @| _ | @| _ | _ | D
| _ | _ | @| _ | @| _ | _ | C
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | B
| _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ | A
| a | b | c| d | e | f | g

seems like a much better idea

Right, that is what I asked you to do. Post the board as well from now on.

Df, second blood. Also, I changed the shade of green because I can (and I think it looks better).

Sure! Of course, you're free to start your own thread... I don't own this game, you know (I just invented it).

Ah yes, the diagonal capture. This has me wondering if there is such a thing as the double capture move as might be seen in a game of checkers? Or even a triple?
