[ThiefKingsHier]

Bishop heehee I can just imagine Renji in a gay little Mages outfit.
That has always been my impression of a bishop anyway.

You know, even if weren't a battle of the sexes Byakuya could still be Queen.

[Syd-chan]

THE RED TEAM WILL BEAT EVERYONE! XD I'm a rook. XD WE HAVE RYUK AS A QUEEN. BEAT THAT.

[Darknight2433]

Bishop yeah! FEAR THE BLACK TEAM!

[sk_chan]

I've been a pawn all three times I've played Cosplay Chess, which is awesome, because we get the most action! =3

Wow this thread is popular.


RED TEAM PWNS BECAUSE IT IS NOT A NORMAL CHESS COLOR. WE ARE ORIGINAL. WORD!

[oslapedo]

Spam! You guys should chill out before your grudgy little red/black behinds get in trouble!

[LtCommanderRichie]

Yet Syd, you're also the living dead. Do we really want anything to do with a re-animated Heartless? No. Heartless are expendable.

HOW CONSIDERATE OF YOU.

[Jamiche]

Catch and Syd.. calm down, guys... if you keep spamming the thread, I will have to pull your posts out.

Give other people a chance to comment, please

[Darknight2433]

Spam is offtopic! THIS IS WAR! And what was that Syd? You were considering giving up to the Black team before you're beat? Well, to be expected.

And we're just playing. We're on IM now. XD -shuts up-

[LtCommanderRichie]

Yeah, it takes me forever to post because you guys keep spamming it up and it tells me 'Warning - Over 9000 posts have been made since you submitted your post'... And then I have to try again and it does it AGAIN. D:

Yeah, you BETTER move it to IMs!

[sk_chan]

Aha, team rivalries can be frightening. =|

*shys off in a corner, avoiding, but watching* >_>

[nikkiolie]

I know I was having the same problem. So.....chess.....Monday.....week from today.......GO WHITE!

[Darknight2433]

Yeah, it takes me forever to post because you guys keep spamming it up and it tells me 'Warning - Over 9000 posts have been made since you submitted your post'... And then I have to try again and it does it AGAIN. D:

NOT SPAM. WAR. No one gets it right.

And we've been chatting the whoooole time. XD

[oslapedo]

Lawlz, I called it! Plus infinity for the white team! We should make white team paraphenilia promoting our neverending awesome  

[majinekochan]

@ Majineko: Says the girl in the Military run by a homunculus in the anime.

@LCR: I'm fully aware that the military is run by a homunculus, which is why I'm working to over throw them, (read manga ch86)

@oslapedo: As your king I deem that it is Haruhi's job/mission to make white team paraphenilia, and possibly to set up a white team Ouendan (cheer squad)

[Syd-chan]

Yeah, it takes me forever to post because you guys keep spamming it up and it tells me 'Warning - Over 9000 posts have been made since you submitted your post'... And then I have to try again and it does it AGAIN. D:

....Using our plotting skills. >)

[oslapedo]

Oh my gawsh! I love Olivia! We have the best King/whole team ever!

[Etchy]

I have a question, can people still send in special attack forms?

[ThiefKingsHier]

Yeah, it takes me forever to post because you guys keep spamming it up and it tells me 'Warning - Over 9000 posts have been made since you submitted your post'... And then I have to try again and it does it AGAIN. D:

Uh huh. It is bothersome. I am reading that warning as we speak.

[nikkiolie]

I know I really really can't wait now....i want to call and tell people but it is so late >_>

[Jamiche]

I have a question, can people still send in special attack forms?

Yes, if you come up with people to be your special attack, you can still send forms for them.

[oslapedo]

I texted a bunch of my friends about me getting in because I was SO excited! XD A lot of my friends are insomniacs so it works!

[Etchy]

Ok thank you....hmmm now time to think of a special attack!

[majinekochan]

Good night my troops, I must leave you to the perils of the night for I have work in the morning.

[nikkiolie]

I know that is my problem now. I need to study Temari and make sure my fan can take quick movements without breaking....

[YattaCloud]

Woooo! Black Knight for teh win! Beware of my epic giant shoulder pads.

[nikkiolie]

you better watch out for the white knight
Beware of my epic giant fan

[ThiefKingsHier]

Ooh! I hope we get to fight the Red team!  There is another Byakuya there. I can already see it'd go..

Red Taichou: What are you doing? Attack the WHITE one!

White Taichou: Don't listen to him, IM your captain kill HIM!

*Renjis head asplodes*

Too bad I do not know the other Byakuya or else I could contact her and plan this. ;_;

[HeavenscloneX]

Aw man, a pawn again.  I swear it's a curse that followed me to Anime USA and back, lol.

So hey, if some of the higher-up chess pieces don't show up for the mandatory meeting, can I steal their spot?  >XD

[Givon]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I is a red bishop >w< Tobi is moving up!!!!!!!!!!1

[nikkiolie]

I can't see why that wouldn't be a problem.....though I am not running the chess.

Aw man, a pawn again.  I swear it's a curse that followed me to Anime USA and back, lol.

So hey, if some of the higher-up chess pieces don't show up for the mandatory meeting, can I steal their spot?  >XD

I did that last year cuz I whined about it. It was all IC of coarse. I wish i hadn't because the pawn that I would have been outlasted me, and in the end it was only her and Taichou.

That'll learn me.

[sk_chan]

I've been a pawn all three times I've done this, but yanno, you get the most action. =D Which is cool. Always get to kill and/or be killed, yasee?

[kissarmy]

woooo leeroy for epic first attacks as a pawn =D

[ThiefKingsHier]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I is a red bishop >w< Tobi is moving up!!!!!!!!!!1

You..AGAIN?!

Wait a minute...yes, t all makes sense now..
Your no ninja! Your the damned Lochness monster! I already told you I aint giving you no Tree fiddy!
( if you don't get the reference,  I'll cry.)

[nikkiolie]

I get the reference ^_^

[ThiefKingsHier]

I get the reference ^_^

Heehee well there's one person. That bit never gets old for me.

[oslapedo]

I'm happy with being a pawn. We're one letter away from being pwn

[sk_chan]

I'm happy with being a pawn. We're one letter away from being pwn

=D Very true.

[YattaCloud]

you better watch out for the white knight
Beware of my epic giant fan

Mah goodness. Well then we know what to do if we have to face off!

Shoulder pads vs. fan. This should be interesting.

[nikkiolie]

Yes it will.....if I come up against you we will have to do that MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[LtCommanderRichie]

Dang... We're on the same team. I can't fight you.

[nikkiolie]

I was confused for a second. I thought you were going as Demyx......but I figured it out. And it's ok that your not fighting me. With our powers combined we will be unstoppable.

[HeavenscloneX]

With that said, time for some SERIOUS discussion...


YOU'RE GOIN' DOOOOOWN WHITE TEAM!!11  Bwahahahaha!

[oslapedo]

You wish! It's on like donkey kong! And by that you are the lumbering kong to our agile middle aged plumber! We beat you! You and your incessant barrels! >=D

[LtCommanderRichie]

@ nikkiolie: I was actually talking to Yatta Cloud... I am going as Demyx.

... But Osla, haven't you seen Peter Jackson's King Kong? That Kong could jump and snatch planes from the air, never mind take on multiple T-Rexes and WIN!

[Shinigami Squirrel]

OMG I'M QUEEN RYUK!!!!!!

HYUK HYUK HYUK!!!

[oslapedo]

PSHAW! I would play the damsel, and then when the aroused Kong pulled me to his face I'd give him a nice bazooka to the eye!

White Team: Infinity

Black/Red Team: -9,000

[Jarnan]

Now it is truly as it should be... Ganondorf holds Link's life in his hands! EVIL SHALL PREVAIL, ALL HAIL THE BLACK TEAM!

[oslapedo]

*WHITE

I fixed it for ya!

[YattaCloud]

Dang... We're on the same team. I can't fight you.

So I guess team kill is turned off then?

"Oh my, what is this? The Black Team seems to be attacking themselves! This cannot be a good strategy."
"Fear mah shoulder pads!!!"
"Dance water dance!!!"

[ThiefKingsHier]

 ..I just now recall something I was told at Fanime's Chess Game..

 " What the hell was THAT? You ALWAYS sacrifice the Bishop to defend the Queen! Everyone knows that"

Lame.
..so lame you gais

[chibiroth]

With that said, time for some SERIOUS discussion...


YOU'RE GOIN' DOOOOOWN WHITE TEAM!!11  Bwahahahaha!

no way girls always beat guys....thats how life works and if you dont like it will then to bad

[LtCommanderRichie]

But you must realize, about half if not three quarters of the male teams are made up of female crossplayers. Therefore, we the black team will still hand thine white team patookies to you on a silver platter.

[ThiefKingsHier]

But you must realize, about half if not three quarters of the male teams are made up of female crossplayers. Therefore, we the black team will still hand thine white team patookies to you on a silver platter.

They are also forgetting one very important rule :
 'evil' will always triumph over good, because 'good' is dumb. XD

[Jarnan]

I find it amusing that the black team has a Black Knight as the Black Knight and the white team has a White Mage and an actual queen for their queen piece.

[ThiefKingsHier]

I find it amusing that the black team has a Black Knight as the Black Knight and the white team has a White Mage and an actual queen for their queen piece.

You know... I never thought of that.

Oh, this is random, but also amusing.

At fanime we had a generic FF white mage as a bishop.  I had to sacrifice him for the King. He used the simplest yet amusing move to save him.

A very slow motion leap in front of the king with an even slower " Nooooooooooooooooo!!"

Such an obvious move, yet it was the first tiem I'd seen it in Chess.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

I are queenie of the white team! ^^
My friends is my special attack... anwe have a very interesting idea of what to do. *shifty eyes*
Is the meeting Monday the first, of yesterday? 'Cause if it was yesterday... XD I was in Montana... and my teleporter broke down. ^^;;

[nikkiolie]

No its Monday of the con so the 1st of Sept.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Oh okies. ^^
Oh ho ho... what is this? My King is none other then the eldest Armstrong?
...
SCORE!
And fear Garnet's summoning of DOOM! *has a secret summoning special to use*

But the teleporter should never break down. It might not always work properly, but it shouldn't break down.

[LtCommanderRichie]

I concur. How else do you think Kirk got that gold sash and Spock got that goatee?

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

One word. Little Brother. Wait... that's two. ^^;;

[~X~Hyuuga Neji~X~]

...Whoo I got in! I didnt think I would rofl...And I'm a knight! Hurrah! Upgrade! *Obito* Hey I have a question then. Is there certain things planned out for out battles? Or will we get to decide/get ideas ahead of time. XD; This is only my second time in cosplay chess(First was at Sakuracon 08 as Kusuriuri(Medicine seller) from Mononoke) so yeah. Rofl.

[LtCommanderRichie]

Hey, I already know how I'm gonna die.  Staying true to game canon.

[Jamiche]

Is there certain things planned out for out battles? Or will we get to decide/get ideas ahead of time. XD;

Nothing is planned ahead of time.. this not a pre-scripted match.  That said, with the teams posted, you can get an idea of who you might be up against, and can get some ideas ahead of time.

In other words.. wing it

[nikkiolie]

I need to figure out how I am going to die now.......hmmmmm >_>

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

I'm probably going to do a dramatized version of how she dies in-game or something ^^. I have a feeling I'm going to fight a lot, being Queen. Though if White goes against Red, and I have to take out Edward... I shall cry. T.T
...
XD Though I will probably take him out via gratuitous amount of short jokes followed by a summoning. ^^

[LtCommanderRichie]

I'm making sure to practice my Demyx impression, so I can do a good job.

Er... Jamiche, I know you said there wouldn't be any doubles of characters... But then why is Kyon from TMoHS a pawn for the Black AND Red teams?

[Syd-chan]

If I had to call it, I would say the ladies will win. Mostly 'cause they're brain ninjas.

[Jamiche]

Er... Jamiche, I know you said there wouldn't be any doubles of characters... But then why is Kyon from TMoHS a pawn for the Black AND Red teams?

There are no doubles on a team.  Since we had enough to fill 3 teams, everyone who signed up is able to play.  If I had only had a handful of extras, the doubles would be listed as alternates.

Just think, if Black goes against Red, the two Kyons can fight about which is the real Kyon...

[oslapedo]

Kyon clones?! What extraterrestrial forces could be behind this? I will uncover the doppelganger Kyon's secrets and demolish everyone that tries to hinder me and my quest!

*glares at red and black team*

[nikkiolie]

That would be interesting. I kinda want to see that.....but it will never happen because the white team wont lose

[oslapedo]

Exactly Who is our chess master? I want to wish them best luck at directing us to victory!

[sk_chan]

Er... Jamiche, I know you said there wouldn't be any doubles of characters... But then why is Kyon from TMoHS a pawn for the Black AND Red teams?

That'd be interesting.

[SageBell]

yes! esther the nun is a bishop!!!!!!!

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Yay! White Team has an Esther! \(=^0^=)/

[ThiefKingsHier]

Er... Jamiche, I know you said there wouldn't be any doubles of characters... But then why is Kyon from TMoHS a pawn for the Black AND Red teams?

So would the Byakuyas.  Of coarse, only the Black one  has a vice captain. Obviously, the Red one is the fake!

Wait..*thinks hard* The REAL Byakuya is such a jerk..I'd want nothing to do with him! That would make the Black one the fake...but..then..the red one is actually a girl. So it definitly couldn't be her..

Maybe.. Byakuya IS a girl! o_O YAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! My poor braincells are on fire!

I guess there is only one way to settle this..the Black team must fight the red.

[oslapedo]

Ha! That's not gonna happen! But rest assured, as president of the SOS Brigade I will solve the mystery of the doubles!

(By going up against Black and Red team of course )

[AriaxKitsune]

White team will win, I mean who wouldn't when they have a panty throwing chii on their side  PANTSU!!!!!!

GO WHITE!!!!!!

P.S. Panty stealer ninja, you goin' down.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

And who wouldn't love an adorable Pikachu summoning?! GO WHITE!

My friend is Pikachu and is my attack XD. I'm going to make a huge thunderbolt for her... as well as a little surprise if Garnet goes up against Edward Elric. *evil smirk*

[oslapedo]

And white team of course also has the glorious leader of the SOS Brigade on their side! Winning is our destiny~!

[YattaCloud]

Oh my, the white team is very confident. Well, it's too bad the black team is so epic. We will win.

[LtCommanderRichie]

This is true. This is very true.

[oslapedo]

Oh my, the white team is very confident. Well, it's too bad the black team is so epic. We will win.

Quoted for PHAIL. The black team speaks lies!

[LtCommanderRichie]

Oh my, the white team is very confident. Well, it's too bad the black team is so epic. We will win.

Quoted for EPIC WIN. The white team speaks lies!

Fix'd

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Bah. Garnet's Pikachu and Tiger Racket will wipe the floor with Black Team! 9999 points of damage, critical hit, status effect, OVERKILL! A through-and-through K.O.!

BLACK TEAM SPEAKETH LIES!

[oslapedo]

Are you sure you wanna go there Richie?

[LtCommanderRichie]

@ osla: Depends, do you really wanna anger the girl with a giant sitar, giant throwing star and large keyblade? I'll bet most of my weapons are bigger than you! I hope I get to face you, so I can stand there and hold you at arm's length.

@ Mitsukai: Don't make me use the Olympus stone or drag out my random Knights of the Round summon! Only two things in all of FFVII can survive KotR!

[oslapedo]

Who needs weapons when you can alter the dimensions of space without even realizing it?

[RoseMustang]

YAY I'M A PAWN!

...lol...I'm happy to be in it period. But woot sauce. Pawns are always the first to die lol xD

WHITE TEAM FOR THE WIN!

-just loled- PAUL'S A QUEEN -in tears- :] Nicole is a Bishop!

HA >D I WILL DEFEAT YOU LEEROY >O IT IS MY DESTINY!

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Again. Bah. I HAVE ALL SUMMONING JEWELS! *actually has piles of stones of all the jewels from FFIX to hand out at con. Even potions, phoenix down, pinions, etc* AND AN ULTIMATE PIKACHU SUMMON!!! 8D

[RoseMustang]

Again. Bah. I HAVE ALL SUMMONING JEWELS! *actually has piles of stones of all the jewels from FFIX to hand out at con. Even potions, phoenix down, pinions, etc* AND AN ULTIMATE PIKACHU SUMMON!!! 8D

xD That brings a whole knew meaning to "Pikachu I choose you"

[LtCommanderRichie]

Again. Bah. I HAVE ALL SUMMONING JEWELS! *actually has piles of stones of all the jewels from FFIX to hand out at con. Even potions, phoenix down, pinions, etc* AND AN ULTIMATE PIKACHU SUMMON!!! 8D

I actually have eleven summons, which only leaves out a few forms of Bahamut, and maybe Odin. Do I have Odin...? I had better have Odin... That one's an instant win if he uses Zantetsuken... I ought to make a few Phoenix Downs...

[oslapedo]

Oh gosh! You're all turning the chess banter into indecipherable FF babble! Even my own teammates!

*asplodes*

[LtCommanderRichie]

The down-low is that if I have an Odin summon it's got an instant-win move.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

hmm... I have Madeen, Fenrir, Carbuncle, Phoenix, Shiva, Ifrit, Ramuh, Ark, Atomos, Bahamut, and Odin. At least fifty small stones the color of each. Except Bahamut and Ark, since it's hard to find colored stones that are the right shade for Garnet and Ark is pumice. But I have about five Bahamut and twenty Ark pumice. And at LEAST two hundred Phoenix down feathers and about 150 phoenix pinion feathers. I'm mixing fruit juices and stuff for potions, antidote, and the like now.

8D

WHITE TEAM FTW <3

[oslapedo]

White team ftw indeed... but I feel so betrayed by the incessant FF talk x3 *is a .hack kinda girl*

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Just attempting to show how much pwnage White Team can dish out. XD

[oslapedo]

It's all for a good cause so I suppose it's okay! Besides I must support my FF teammates! Go us!

What's black and red all over? The losing teams of cosplay chess! Bwahahahaha!

[LtCommanderRichie]

I've got Knights of the Round, Leviathan, Titan, Choco/Mog, Ifrit, Shiva, Hades, Alexander, BahamutSIN, Phoenix and Ramuh. Dang, I don't have Odin, do I...? Oh well, I'm Demyx. I think I'll just jack my own Leviathan and use the giant deity snake for my own nefarious waterlogged black team plans.

Yeah, well, may I remind you that we've also got LEEEEROY JENKINSSSSSSS?

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

May I remind you that Leeroy, epic as he may be, got his entire WoW team killed? 8D

I have teh Tiger Racket anyway! Bwahahaha! XD

[Jarnan]

While I do applaud Leeroy, and I intend to use him to wreak havoc (not), need I remind all of you that the only person who can defeat Ganondorf is in fact being controlled by Ganondorf? Therefore, Ganondorf is unbeatable, and thus Black shall own the White.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Well, we have OLIVIA ARMSTRONG, STRONGEST OF THE ARMSTRONG LINE AND POSESSING ALL THE STRENGTH PASSED THROUGH THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS! BWAHAHAHA!

[Jarnan]

No Link=No Master Sword=No win for White =P

[majinekochan]

Well, we have OLIVIA ARMSTRONG, STRONGEST OF THE ARMSTRONG LINE AND POSESSING ALL THE STRENGTH PASSED THROUGH THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS! BWAHAHAHA!

Not to mention that I'm a Brigadier General, a member of the council, and am able to defeat my brother and his alchemy with just my saber.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

And obliterated most of the mansion while doing it.

[majinekochan]

And obliterated most of the mansion while doing it.

meh, I have no need of such extravagant buildings

[LtCommanderRichie]

D: Well if black team looses, you'll certainly loose to the red team. They've got an exorcist and an exorcist/Noah.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

... and you have the most loyal subordinates of all the military. Equal in loyalty to Mustang and his underlings, even!

Bah. Red pales in comparison to White Teams greatness. They are so much SHORTER in epicness. *hinthint*

[oslapedo]

Hah! I know, they're punily miniscule in epicness!

[majinekochan]

It is because I have earned their respect, at the tip of my sword. Rather than through useless charisma.

Ahh yes the diminutive Red team, I wonder how many short jokes will be issued, and if he'll be pwned by a pawn again.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

I, Garnet, have a special Pikachu attack just for him. *evil smirk*

[oslapedo]

I, Haruhi Suzumiya have also thought of one, just for our dawrf opponent *maniacal laughter*

[LtCommanderRichie]

This thread, it makes me facepalm.

Although, I gotta say that I think I'll end up making a few myself if black team wins. Which, btw, we totally will.

[Jarnan]

Whoa whoa whoa... you're acting like this issue has already been decided... when EVERYBODY knows that Black>White. Sides... our TMoHS owns your TMoHS =P

[oslapedo]

Your one single Kyon, pwns our Haruhi and Mikuru? I should erase you from the planet for saying such crazy and ridiculous things.

Btw Richie, why do you facepalm? Because you know that white team's victory is inevitable?

[LtCommanderRichie]

Because I'm in a facepalming mood and because all those short jokes were extremely distasteful.

Black>White. There is no other outcome.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Because I'm in a facepalming mood and because all those short jokes were extremely distasteful.

Black<White. There is no other outcome.

Fix'd

[oslapedo]

Ah! I was confused for a second, but that looks about right, now

[LtCommanderRichie]

Okay, seriously. All of this is starting to piss me off and is bordering on 4channery. It may just be because I'm PMSing, but I'm stopping right now. It's just plain stupid. It's just a game.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

We're just joking around... I'm sorry.

[oslapedo]

We are just kidding around Richie. Maybe listen to yourself a bit: "It's just a game". Exactly, it's just a game so there's no need to take it so seriously

[LtCommanderRichie]

I'm not taking the game seriously, I'm taking your annoying constant quote-fixing seriously. D: I'm out of Midol and it's showing, I'm becoming irrational! Either way it's annoying as hell so please stop?

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Of course we will 8D

I feel your pain. *PMSing as well*

Anyway... why is it I feel the only ones trash-talking about their team winning is Black and White? XD I haven't seen and Red Team in here to proclaim epiqness.

[Jamiche]

Okay guys.. save the bloodshed for Monday, please

[ThiefKingsHier]

I'm not taking the game seriously, I'm taking your annoying constant quote-fixing seriously. D: I'm out of Midol and it's showing, I'm becoming irrational! Either way it's annoying as hell so please stop?

I'm not irrational or in need of Midol and I couldn't agree more.  

Would you PLEASE settle down before Jamiche has to lock this thread ( How many times have you heard that Osla ? )

Of course we will 8D

I feel your pain. *PMSing as well*

Anyway... why is it I feel the only ones trash-talking about their team winning is Black and White? XD I haven't seen and Red Team in here to proclaim epiqness.

Red teams gonna kick the Black teams  asses! (  see what I did thar? ) I'm soo clever

Hows that? XD

[LtCommanderRichie]

I could say something about your choice of wording, Jamiche, but I won't.

I'll be red team is mostly non-boarders. I know at least one of them isn't.

So Jamiche, Lavi's hammer wasn't too big for the game?

[ThiefKingsHier]

 Hehe Zabimaru is bigger Than Lavi's hammer! Oh yes, size matters! 

[nikkiolie]

Ok there are three pages of absolute spam.....wow.....

GO WHITE TEAM!

[ThiefKingsHier]

Ok there are three pages of absolute spam.....wow.....

GO WHITE TEAM!

Uh huh and for some reason my computer ( yahoo whichever) automatically subscribes me anything I post in.  Good thing my inbox has A LOT of space.

[nikkiolie]

Yeah that would suck. I am glad I didn't get an email for every single post x.x

[LtCommanderRichie]

You sure, Thief? How big's Zabimaru?

[oslapedo]

( How many times have you heard that Osla ? )

Do I really need to get singled out? Was I the only one teasing around and making jokes? =/

I'm sorry to everyone who I made upset. Everyone on these forums are incredibly nice and I don't want to get on anyone's bad side. I was just bantering in the sake of friendly competition, but I suppose that's not okay so I won't do that anymore. I look forward to seeing all of you guys at KCon and w00t white team x3

[LtCommanderRichie]

It was banter about eight pages ago, Osla. But everyone's happy now so what's it matter?

Dude, the teams should totally have people handing out those felt baseball flags in black, white and red.

[ThiefKingsHier]

You sure, Thief? How big's Zabimaru?

Eer..well I was speaking Anime-wise >> But in Reality he's like..6 Ft-ish.

I couldn't carry something like that. "big' is cool but if you can't carry it I don't think it would be worth it.

Do I really need to get singled out? Was I the only one teasing around and making jokes? =/

No, but I have personally seen you warned about this no less than three times.

Banter is fine, but 8 pages worth is ridiculous. Just keep it to a minimum.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

I'm going to attempt to making a three or four-foot tall styrofoam thunderbolt for my special attack to use. XD Though I will need permission from the person first... since she will need to poke you with it. ^^

[oslapedo]

It really doesn't matter Richie, I'm just late to the responding party and I thought I'd pipe in my 2 cents X3

I think I might make a shirt or something that says "Pawn: It's one letter from Pwn". To show all of my pawning spirit! >=D

And lulz at thunderbolt! X3 I wonder what kind of prop Haruhi would have...

Edited to match with Thief's new edit: I was actually trying to be proactive in having the spam wars toned down early in this thread, so that's why I'm put off. I don't think we should keep talking about this here though, but if you still have issues with me I'm always open to advice through PMing

[LtCommanderRichie]

Lavi's hammer is bigger both ways. Freaking huge, with the Wood seal. Y'all will get p'wned by Lavi if you have to play the Red team.

Hey, big is very cool. My sitar is six feet long but is light enough that I can lift it with one hand.

OOH! I'll make one of those too! I've got iron-on letters somewhere... Pawn: One letter from Pwn on the front, and Kumoricon Cosplay Chess 2008 on the back!

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Might make it five, I'm going to ask her tomorrow. She' about 5'1", so wouldn't it be funny if Pikachu's thunderbolt was taller shen she is? XD

Then, just as a joke in the off-chance Garnet fights Ed, she asked me to make a... like four-inch long one to take him out with. Just 'cus. ^^;;

[ThiefKingsHier]

 I've never been a fan of ridiculously large props. ( Unless appropriate, which in this case it is)

For me it all comes down to practically and function. Perhaps you could ..rig it up to a flame thrower. THAT would be awesome

Hmph, too bad I didn't sign up as Kanda. There's always next year though.

[oslapedo]

I love your thunderbolt ideas Mitsukai! <3 All of this prop talk makes me want to create some sort of craft that Haruhi Suzumiya would use. I can't think of any though

[Shinigami Squirrel]

Go Red team!

[AriaxKitsune]

Ok, random question.  Since we're all talking about props,  what kind of undies should I throw, sexy or no?  variety?  sorry if it's inappropriate but, well, I need to know, I'm going shopping tomorrow.

[sk_chan]

Your one single Kyon, pwns our Haruhi and Mikuru? I should erase you from the planet for saying such crazy and ridiculous things.

You make me sound like such a weakling when you say it that way. >_> I can hold my own...sort of.

[sk_chan]

And lulz at thunderbolt! X3 I wonder what kind of prop Haruhi would have...

I'm thinking a megaphone.

[Sugarlat]

Hmm Miyuki needs some attack ideas XD

[YattaCloud]

I think my armor might be larger than some props. I wouldn't be surprised anyway. Well I think with all of these team rivalries aside, we should show good sportsmanship and an overall enjoyment for the sport (yes I said sport) of chess. Now with THAT aside, I am looking forward to all the different ways everyone has to utterly destroy *cough cough* I'm sorry, defeat the other players.

[Jamiche]

I could say something about your choice of wording, Jamiche, but I won't.

I'll be red team is mostly non-boarders. I know at least one of them isn't.

So Jamiche, Lavi's hammer wasn't too big for the game?

I appreciate your restraint

If the hammer is accepted by the yojimbo, it can be used during the match... but it's freaking huge

You need to make sure your props will fit thru doorways, and are not a hazard to other attendees or yourself.

Ok, random question.  Since we're all talking about props,  what kind of undies should I throw, sexy or no?  variety?  sorry if it's inappropriate but, well, I need to know, I'm going shopping tomorrow.

Whatever you get, just keep in mind that are PG-13, so nothing too sexy

[nikkiolie]

I'm not sure how I am going to attack....I want something more than just waving a fan. I think against the black team I will use my feminine charm to lower their guard then make the killing blow (which may be a hit to the groin >_>) MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[oslapedo]

You make me sound like such a weakling when you say it that way. >_> I can hold my own...sort of.

Okay Kyon, whatever helps you sleep at night

I'm thinking a megaphone.

I like that idea! Thanks Kyon, you've proved yourself useful!

Hmm Miyuki needs some attack ideas XD

Hm... talking your opponent into a stupor? x3

[LtCommanderRichie]

@ nikkiolie: Summon your wind ferret or whatever it is with the kamas! It's either a ferret or weasel... Ferret/weasel plushie?

@ sk_chan: But then with a megaphone as her weapon we could all make Cait Sith jokes...

@ Aria: I think that nothing from the lingere section and no thongs should be appropriate, don't you?

[nikkiolie]

I could do that......actually there is someone dressing up as the weasel >_> Maybe i could submit a special attack form for her

[Piman-dono]

Ok, random question.  Since we're all talking about props,  what kind of undies should I throw, sexy or no?  variety?  sorry if it's inappropriate but, well, I need to know, I'm going shopping tomorrow.

I'm bringing a varied selection to "steal", nothing too explicit though...

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

If any pawn on any team reachs the end of the board to bring back another piece... I could chuck a phoenix down at them or something. XD

Ah... I need to get to work on the finishing touches of my costume and making the Tiger Racket, Giant and Shrimp Thunderbolts. *scurries off*

[nikkiolie]

that would be a really cool idea. I hope it happens.....one team may just have to let it happen for the entertainment >_>

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

My phoenix downs are mint-green... because my friends and I couldn't find gold and we liked the idea of getting oddly-colored ones. I have a single gold one, though. I could use that. XD

[nikkiolie]

you should use that on special pieces....like if one dies to save you then use it on that one

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

XDD That too. ^^ Or just use my plethora of pinions. XD

Someone so needs to get 'poisoned' in the battle. I have a bottle with a dropper that says 'ANTIDOTE' on it.XD *is making replicas of all useable FFIX items*

[SageBell]

my hair i need to make red.

[sk_chan]

You make me sound like such a weakling when you say it that way. >_> I can hold my own...sort of.

Okay Kyon, whatever helps you sleep at night

I'm thinking a megaphone.

I like that idea! Thanks Kyon, you've proved yourself useful!

*facepalm, sighs* My confidence is building with every word you say, Haruhi. /apparent sarcasm

[sk_chan]

@ sk_chan: But then with a megaphone as her weapon we could all make Cait Sith jokes...

Haha.

[LtCommanderRichie]

And yet it's so true! We could yell random things to her in an Irish brogue while waving around a stuffed Mog.

Planning on telling any fortunes? Your lucky number is purple!

[nikkiolie]

I would have fun making cait sith jokes XD

[Kurosaki.Isshin]

SWEET I MADE KNIGHT TEAM RED! GO STEIN

[nikkiolie]

KNIGHTS REPRESENTING!

[oslapedo]

You all be grateful that I don't know what cat sith is! *shakes around megaphone intimidatingly*

[nikkiolie]

Now you do!

[LtCommanderRichie]

FOR THE LOVE OF...

Nikkiolie, I was gonna post that!

Cait Sith is the cat on top of the stuffed Mog, BTW.

[sk_chan]

FOR THE LOVE OF...

Nikkiolie, I was gonna post that!

Cait Sith is the cat on top of the stuffed Mog, BTW.

Yup. Haruhi, take note and be aware of who you're being compared to.

[nikkiolie]

Nikkiolie FTW! *dances*

[oslapedo]

Ha! Well at least I'm the one riding instead of the one being ridden!

Is cat sith the best insult you ordinary humans can dish out? I'm sure aliens would be much more creative with their taunts...

[ThiefKingsHier]

FOR THE LOVE OF...

Nikkiolie, I was gonna post that!

Cait Sith is the cat on top of the stuffed Mog, BTW.

Yup. Haruhi, take note and be aware of who you're being compared to.

Oh no, there is comparison. Haruhi is some immeasurable amount more annoying Than Cait Saith.

Every time I hear that mother...freakin song I want to jam railroad ties into my ear drums.

 You guys should see some of over the top ranting I've done about that damned song. I even surprised myself.

[nikkiolie]

nice analogy

[LtCommanderRichie]

Depends, you don't mind being a double-crossing cat puppet controlled by a thirty-something guy with a goatee that works for an evil corporation?

[nikkiolie]

yeah there is a lot more to him than you really know >_>

[oslapedo]

But I don't know at all since I don't play FF Besides it's far too normal. Only average humans play such games, and I need more from my life!

[LtCommanderRichie]

Yet the cosplayers have giant swords that have had so many owners that you could practically track them on a family tree. The villains all have single wings, but can still fly in a straight line (let alone fly at all). The main bad guy thinks his mother is a headless space alien, when in reality his mother is stuck in a pillar of crystal. And the whole thing was masterminded by an evil half-bent scientist with a ponytail and a squeaky voice.

Yeah, seriously? This game is not one of those 'normal' games.

I just made a somewhat-funny!

[nikkiolie]

Its a very complicated story line, but it very very good.

[LtCommanderRichie]

Complicated stopped covering it after disk 1.

[oslapedo]

But in the end all of that mysticism is fake! I'm determined to find true headless space aliens, and one-winged creatures! I can't be satisfied with exotic beings that exist only in pixels.

[nikkiolie]

true.....but I still liked it. I understood what was going on at the time but it's been so long that I probably couldn't retell the story accurately 

[LtCommanderRichie]

But in the end, you know, they're somewhere in Imagination Land.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Wait... if you don't know what Cait Sith is... then that must mean that. *le dramatic gaspeth* You don't know Final Fantasy VII!

BLASPHEMER! XDD

Bwuah... Maybe I should bring a stuffed moogle to the con...

[LtCommanderRichie]

Then we can wave it and make Cait Sith jokes at the pre-meet? I think I might be Yuffie for that...

[nikkiolie]

I think there should be a Cait Sith cosplay there >_>

[Kurosaki.Isshin]

This is so exciting now i have my monday booked up

[SageBell]

*is still amused that the nun is the bishop*

[Kurosaki.Isshin]

*is still amused that the nun is the bishop*

That is funny ^^

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

I'm sewing and painting the rest of the skirt today. XD Finished most of the items and stuff. Maybe I can use some of them in the chess matches. ^^ The Tiger Racket's looking good.

That nun thing was pretty funny. Though my favorite was Olivia Armstrong being king. Just because... she's Olivia. *go read manga*

[Kurosaki.Isshin]

I'm getting the rest of my costume tomarrow *Hopefully*

[LtCommanderRichie]

Demyx and Zexion are pawns, yet Axel is a... Knight, right? >< Por que? Is it because he's more of a main character than me? I'm a loveable dork! I have as many fangirls as he does! I swear I do! T_T This Nocturne feels unloved.

[oslapedo]

If it makes you feel better I don't know who Demyx or Zexion are.

[Jarnan]

wowza... you need to play more videogames =P

[Sugarlat]

Woah I just found out that Miyuki is a healing-type Maganekko!
Still need some attacks for her though...[/contemplates]
Help?

[nikkiolie]

If it makes you feel better I don't know who Demyx or Zexion are.

That would actually make her feel worse because she is cosplaying Demyx and is wondering why Axel is a knight.....

she wants people to know who Demyx is >_>

[LtCommanderRichie]

You'll ALL know who I am by the end of the day. Trust me.

[SageBell]

my costume has been finished. >_< worries about hair..
hehe nun bishop

[nikkiolie]

I already know who you are....I've been watching you for the past month ........>_>

nvm .......<_<

[LtCommanderRichie]

Oooooookay then.

[LadyYunaBraska]

Ohh Yeah, guess who's a KING babay!!!!

Amen to that! Oh course, I'll be an awkward Black King because my cloak's white, but under that is black. XD It'll be so much fun~

[LtCommanderRichie]

Too bad there's no Naruto... You could be all Darth Vader and go "Naruto... I am your father!" complete with hand motions and requisite deep voice.

Just finished my chess shirt! It took me several hours but the letters finally stuck.

[Nanao_chan]

I'm just glad I'm not a pawn again. But then again, I'm sure I'll end up dying first.... last year, I just stood there the whole freakin' match, lol.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

My costume's gonna get trampled~~~!

I measured the train on Garnet and it's about 2-2 1/2 feet long from the heel. ^^ Tiger Rackets done though, so At leas I get to wack someone! *kidding*
Need to make the Thunderbolt for an epiq Pikachu final attack.

[LtCommanderRichie]

Not if you don't let it! Get bodyguards. They'll keep people from stepping on your train.

[Jamiche]

You might consider finding some way to tie up the train, or hook it to your wrist (like they do with wedding dresses).  That way, you won't trip yourself or someone else

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

XDD I shall! The Queen needs her bodyguards! *goes to find a Zidane* =^-^=
I'ljust have to... make an example of the first one who does. *evil face* >: D

I might make a hook-up on the end on the train to hook to one wrist, but the train is part of the actualy skirt and cannot be messed with too much or...
"HEY! GARNET HAD PRETTY PINK PANTIES!" - random cosplayer
"WHERE?!" - randome Zidane cosplayer
And it's heavy. XD

[majinekochan]

Ohh Yeah, guess who's a KING babay!!!!

Amen to that! Oh course, I'll be an awkward Black King because my cloak's white, but under that is black. XD It'll be so much fun~

Lol, that's funny, 'cause my jacket's black. although it does have white trim.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Switch cloaks? XD
That is funny though... the Black King as a white cloak and the White King has a black cloak.

[AriaxKitsune]

Switch cloaks? XD
That is funny though... the Black King as a white cloak and the White King has a black cloak.

That will be priceless.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

Or if the White Team wins *which they will* Olivia could walk over to the Black King and be like 'Gimme meh cloak back'. Same if they switched them in the beginning. XD

[Kurosaki.Isshin]

So, is Cosplay Chess Planned out ahead of time? or its it all improve?

[oslapedo]

It's all improv.

[Sugarlat]

...still need some attacks for Miyuki...

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

XD I'm thinking up a lot. ^^

[Sugarlat]

Miyuki has a limited attack range due to her moé◘

[nikkiolie]

I have a few ideas ^_^

[majinekochan]

Or if the White Team wins *which they will* Olivia could walk over to the Black King and be like 'Gimme meh cloak back'. Same if they switched them in the beginning. XD

I likes this idea, taking his cloak, Sorta like a "You are not worthy to wear white"

[nikkiolie]

That would be great. That needs to happen XD

[SageBell]

I already know who you are....I've been watching you for the past month ........>_>

nvm .......<_<

*scrubs self* i feel watched <_< >_> *_*

[Ryanne_monday]

Thus the easy special attacks of limit breaks win!
AERIS! I get AERIS as a p(a)wn to?
I sense team attack...FF7 Style... back me up with 'Healing Wind'!

[oslapedo]

I'm gonna try and get a megaphone today. IfI don't find any at the store I'll just forage one from paper x3

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

If anyone kills our Aerith, we all know they'll probably kill her via stab to the upper back XD
I'm painting the thungdervolt right now. It's about 3 or 4 feet tall ^^First a coat of white, then yellow.
Fingers covered in sticky super glue fro mfixing Garnet's cron too much. T.T
Anyone notice that there is FOUR FF characters on the White team? And none anywhere else?

[Ryanne_monday]

Once more - proof that the White Team is the BEST.
That's all anyone needed to say...
And yes - whoever does kill Aeris - since it's going to happen - stab to the upper back!
If only there was a Sephiroth on the other team...

[Satsukicosplayer]

GAH! i can't wait to see this!!!

[Satsukicosplayer]

uhhh, what day is it on? 

[Kurosaki.Isshin]

Monday

[Satsukicosplayer]

Monday

poop. dang i wish i was going all three days!

[Kurosaki.Isshin]

Too bad, it may be on youtube later, if someone records it... I'm sure someone will... right? *looks around for support*

[nikkiolie]

the one last year wasn't recorded >_>

[Kurosaki.Isshin]

... *drops head* -_-' thanks for the support... not

[tori-chama]

I WILL be shouting out "yoai! <3" again. You can count on that.

[nikkiolie]

I hope it gets recorded. I want to see the play back

[RoseMustang]

...Welll it's over.

I hope you all know. When the Black Knight was in the range to take me out. My KNEES WERE SHAKING.

...so terribly...But I~ had super amount of fun

[oslapedo]

WOOT WHITE TEAM!!! I'm so proud of us!

I loved the cosplay chess, you guys were all fantastic! I had a ton of fun, I'd totally do this again

[nikkiolie]

It was fun. I really enjoyed acting, I was feeling nervous about Saturday but once Monday got around I was very very excited

[oslapedo]

I lawled so hard when you accused your brothers of makeup theivery XD You did great! I was a bit bummed because by the time it was cosplay chess I had lost most of my voice thanks to three days of extreme fangirling. I hope the audience didn't hate me x3

Ooh, and I noiced a ton of people taking pics and whatnot during this. What are the odds of us getting a video of our epic cosplay chess?

[nikkiolie]

I know my friends recorded it but the video sucks....watching it would make you very very sick (he couldn't keep the camera still)

[DDRmasta]

Temari, Gaara, and Kankuro's Caramel Dansen attack was so funny... I heard she said that if Gaara did that dance the enemy would die of shock or something. xD Wow... Their cosplay was so good T.T

[oslapedo]

Yeah, Nikki milked the lulz : D

Who were you cosplaying as DDRmasta?

[nikkiolie]

that was the plan at least....it seemed to work out well and it got a reaction out of the crowed.

[Sugarlat]

Cosplay chess was so much fun.
I was actually thinking of backing out but i'm glad i decided to do it.

[nikkiolie]

I am too. We were all just fooling around and having fun. I want to do it next year but I'm not sure what my plan is >_>

[oslapedo]

I have a cosplay goal for next year but I might keep it super secret. It's something that I didn't see any of at this KCon, and I'd totally do it for next year's cosplay chess

[RoseMustang]

Temari, Gaara, and Kankuro's Caramel Dansen attack was so funny... I heard she said that if Gaara did that dance the enemy would die of shock or something. xD Wow... Their cosplay was so good T.T

Gahhaaa xD Gaara was super serious face the whole time till then. Fai and I were like "Goodness..."

[Nanao_chan]

I loved the whole Two Sakura's on one team thing. It made us think more..... Sakura-Hime and Sakura-Chan.... boy wonder if we were more confused than our chess master.

[oslapedo]

I loved hearing the masters say our character's names x3

Was it just me or did the audience seem slightly restless? I wish I could've seen it all through their eyes!

[SageBell]

KILLER CHII!!

[ThiefKingsHier]

 
I would like to thank Jamiche, and our team's player for helping me to fulfill my dream of killing Haruhi. *Wipes away tear* It was even greater than I ever imagined it would be.

I was afraid I'd fail hard because it wasn't scripted and I had no idea how to defeat my opponents, but I actually think this was my best game yet.

I noticed that no, Lavi did not keep his pants on for the game ( before the game I asked if she could mange to keep her pants ON)

I REALLY wanted to stay and watch the second game but I was REALLY hungry. During the game I felt like i was pass out. Even more, I get pretty intolerable when hungry. It has been said 'hell hath no furry like hungry Renji' XD

xD She almost made it through the game, but she was running out of attacks!

[AriaxKitsune]

KILLER CHII!!

Yess!!!!!  I loved it when Tobi just wore my panties on his head for the rest of the game.

LAVI!!  I Love You!!  I'll be your woman in the after life forever.  (explanation: Lavi said After life is great, there are tons of women,  at that I ran over and cuddled with him/her Lavi: "See!!!"

[LadyYunaBraska]

(sniffles and cries) I had to miss being Black King because I couldn't get a DAMNED RIDE! I'M SO SORRY GUYS!

I heard I was replaced with Gaara.

[Kurosaki.Isshin]

Did anyone Tape it or take picture of the Stein vs. Princess TuTu match?

[oslapedo]

Lawl, you did? : D All of my memories are smushed together, who were you that defeated me?

xD She almost made it through the game, but she was running out of attacks!

I know! Me and all of the other TMoHS cosplayers were going to hop on stage for Yuki's special attack to Hare Hare circles around her opponent, but we figured everyone had had quite enough Hare Hare XD

[Sugarlat]

>< I'm just glad I got to attack Kyon with my pan XD

[Posiee-chan]

hey guys! I had so much fun doing cosplay chess! It was cool that there were so many other brigade members there!

I totally loved it when the two kyons ran on the protect Mikuru XD so epic!

[oslapedo]

Ecchi!Kyon was actually attempting to go for an Itsuki Didn't you notice his freakish smile? XD

>< I'm just glad I got to attack Kyon with my pan XD

Did that happen while you were avenging me? X3

[sk_chan]

hey guys! I had so much fun doing cosplay chess! It was cool that there were so many other brigade members there!

I totally loved it when the two kyons ran on the protect Mikuru XD so epic!

*waves* That was a bit of randomness from me that I discussed with my Mikuru during the game itself. xD I think it worked out, though...although Ryuk killed the entire SOS Brigade. Yiiikes. What did we do to deserve such a thing? I wasn't even in that match...

Man, looking back, Ryuk killed a LOT of people in that game. =O

[Sugarlat]

Why yes yes it was,
If only I'd gone as Itsuka, then it would almost be complete ^_^

I would've looked away if that had happened...really... >o> *hides*

[DDRmasta]

Yeah, Nikki milked the lulz : D

Who were you cosplaying as DDRmasta?

T.T
I was the failure, good for nothing Byakuya -King- [not Queen like the other one] of the Red Team... which won... T.T I really had doubted that...

[~X~Hyuuga Neji~X~]

Rofl from what I've heard many a person enjoyed my 'death by porn' attack >_> *Ish Obito*

my only regret was that Kakashi couldnt make it XD Everyone was so hilarious though, I can definitely say that cosplay chess was the best part of the con for me <3 thanks for making it so fun to watch, guys.

[oslapedo]

I would've looked away if that had happened...really... >o> *hides*

Thanks Kyon! I was more worried about the audience though... XD

T.T
I was the failure, good for nothing Byakuya -King- [not Queen like the other one] of the Red Team... which won... T.T I really had doubted that...

For some one on the red team you did a good job! Nice going!

my only regret was that Kakashi couldnt make it XD Everyone was so hilarious though, I can definitely say that cosplay chess was the best part of the con for me <3 thanks for making it so fun to watch, guys.

I was sad about that too. Itachi wasn't there either ;_; They were both attending to buisness though so it couldn't be helped.

I loved the cosplay chess, I be doing it next year!

[SageBell]

KILLER CHII!!

Yess!!!!!  I loved it when Tobi just wore my panties on his head for the rest of the game.

ATTENDING TO BUSINESS, MY ASS. KAKASHI WENT TO THE ZOO, AND I WAS STUCK AT HOME, SICK. XD

[nikkiolie]

For those that are going to September 20th picnic we are going to have a chess game. In the "plan your own adventures" thread there is a sign up if anyone is interested

[ThiefKingsHier]

Lawl, you did? : D All of my memories are smushed together, who were you that defeated me?

I was Renji.

I WAS going to go on one of my incredibly over the top rants about how the Captain-commander had found out about your evil plot ti use the Hare Hare Yukai's oh so obnoxious-waves to summon hollows and destroy the world but said obnoxious waves from your incessant rambling was scrambling my own thoughts.  So I just went with STHU. XD

[oslapedo]

SHHHHHHH! Way to blow your own cover!

YAY FOR BIKE SHORTS! no, really, that is the answer to all the world's problems, or I suppose all of the world's skirt wearer's problems...

[nikkiolie]

I wore bike shorts under my skirt.....and it showed in some pictures x.x

[Posiee-chan]

eh... well, at the very least it was bike shorts and not embarrassingly polka dotted underwear you forgot you had on because you were too tired at 5:30 in the morning to think... thank god that never happened to me XD. I haven't very many pics of me, so I can't say weather it worked entirely for me, but I think it did... I actually rolled the bike shorts up... since they were to long I basically ended up double cuffing them XD.

[RoseMustang]

Did anyone Tape it or take picture of the Stein vs. Princess TuTu match?

haha i hope some one does XD that was so much fun being Tutu

xD Princess Tutu! What's the quote of the day :]

[Kurosaki.Isshin]

Did anyone Tape it or take picture of the Stein vs. Princess TuTu match?

haha i hope some one does XD that was so much fun being Tutu

That it was ^^

[Jamiche]

You guys were all fantastic   I'm bummed that I couldn't stay to watch all of the White vs. Red match, but I had faith that my awesome chess masters would continue to do a great job... and it sounds like they did.

Thank you, guys... you all made it a fun event, your battles were epic.  My chess masters made sure everyone played, while giving us a fun and entertaining game, and Roy was a great emcee, thanks

Hopefully, we will get a bigger room next year, and have an even better game (is that even possible?).  Now, if we can just get it to be good vs evil...

You guys rock!

[nikkiolie]

I want a chess game of good vs evil. Go evil!

[Kurosaki.Isshin]

That would be cool, or even saine vs. Insaine characters

[oslapedo]

But for good vs evil I imagine many snags. What if they used to be good/evil but are now evil/good and whatnot? What if they don't really have a side, would there be a "neutral" team? XD

[Jarnan]

They would be forced to convert, that's all =)

[Posiee-chan]

yeah, there could be a similar problem with sane vs, insane characters. Especially since a lot of them are really very debatably sane/insane...

[LtCommanderRichie]

Perhaps light colors versus darker colors? I'onno, I'm still kinda sore over Ganondorf making me cannon fodder within the first five minutes. I'm not participating next year, probably not gonna watch either.

[nikkiolie]

wow you are that sore over it. It did suck that you died that quickly....i would be upset too but not enough to not play again

[xxxchihiroxxx]

you guys are already plannin for next year?

I'm thinking i want to do it next year with my friend, shes going to be demon Chrono and I'm going to be Rosette :3 if we have to atack eachother it would be funny

[Shinigami Squirrel]

I hope that someone recorded cosplay chess this year D: I would really like to show my friends who weren't able to get in this year....the line was so long...D:

[Jarnan]

Sorry you feel that way Richie, but think of it this way... someone has to die first, and the first person to die will never get a kill. Leeroy got beat by Princess Tutu. Sides, I didn't have THAT much control over the game, I was told to throw pieces at my opponent, and I did so, as did she.

[ThiefKingsHier]

Perhaps light colors versus darker colors? I'onno, I'm still kinda sore over Ganondorf making me cannon fodder within the first five minutes. I'm not participating next year, probably not gonna watch either.

That's taking a bit personally.  It isn't as though he was thinking " I hate that  Richi I'm so gonna take her out first"
SOMEONE has to go first unfortunately it was you had you been standing just one square over, it would have been someone else.

[nikkiolie]

I got to move once then stood around till I died....I only attacked once. It sucks even more when you die and you have a great attack planed

[Kurosaki.Isshin]

Sorry you feel that way Richie, but think of it this way... someone has to die first, and the first person to die will never get a kill. Leeroy got beat by Princess Tutu. Sides, I didn't have THAT much control over the game, I was told to throw pieces at my opponent, and I did so, as did she.

Ha ha Ha I killed Princess TuTu, way to fun ^^

[chibiroth]

Did anyone Tape it or take picture of the Stein vs. Princess TuTu match?

haha i hope some one does XD that was so much fun being Tutu

xD Princess Tutu! What's the quote of the day :]

hmmm how bout instead of a qoute i tell you a pick up line?
Excuse me are you carrying a death note.......cause i think i just had a heart attack!!!!

oh and btw being able to kill Leroy Jekins was frekin amazing! and in a tutu no less

[xxxchihiroxxx]

I wish we had a bigger time slot so each time had a chance to play twice or something like how there was three teams this year...

if we get three teams for 2009 maybe it should go like

1vs2
winner of last one vs 3

winner of second match vs loser of the first

It would give everyone a chance of two games I think, unless my math is wrong. Cause I think a few pawns got upseat when they died in their first move : (

[nikkiolie]

Yeah we could have a tournament type thing....If we could get four teams >_>

the winners from each game play and the losers play to get 4th through 1st place

[xxxchihiroxxx]

yeah, then everyone gets at least two chances :3 we may need more chessmasters though...

[Radien]

But for good vs evil I imagine many snags. What if they used to be good/evil but are now evil/good and whatnot? What if they don't really have a side, would there be a "neutral" team? XD

Why would that be a problem? Most neutral characters wouldn't be out of place fighting on either side, even if the idea is that they aren't permanently tethered to either good or evil. Failing that, the event organizer and the cosplayer can negotiate.

For those that are going to September 20th picnic we are going to have a chess game. In the "plan your own adventures" thread there is a sign up if anyone is interested

I didn't make it to Cosplay Chess this year, but I'd love to talk to the people who participated. I'm looking into the possibility of starting another panel/event that would provide an additional outlet for people seeking excuses to stage improvised mock battles.

[ThiefKingsHier]

That sounds likefun, but i think we should do the games on differeant days.

Between packing all our stuff and attending the premeet, I had no time to get anything to eat.  As much fun as I weas having, Byakuya and i were albiet preying that would lose so we could get soemthing to eat before I passed out.  ( he was okay, but he wanted me to get food becuase I get REALLY bitchy I'm hungry)

[Satsukicosplayer]

does anyone have any videos of it? i would have loved to see it!

I like the idea of games on different days. That would also get people a chance to see at least one. We could do one Saturday, one sunday and two on monday.

that would be if there were four teams.....I think

[xxxchihiroxxx]

yeah :3 I think that sounds like a great idea! Give more people a chance to get on the teams, and make sure everyone has a chance to have some fun and not get killed flat out on the first move!

also if we are doing it tournement style, shouldnt there be four chestmasters? one for each team.

[LtCommanderRichie]

SOMEONE has to go first unfortunately it was you had you been standing just one square over, it would have been someone else.

It's not as though I was trying to. I just had my hopes up for who knows how long of participating in the whole long game, and then all of a sudden BAM, I'm gone.

'Sides, I'm over it now. I think I'll do it next year as Angeal.

[nikkiolie]

I'm glad that you gotten over it....but I do know what you mean. I was so looking forward to in and in the first game I didn't get to attack I just stood there for half of it then died.

[xxxchihiroxxx]

again that is why I like my tournament idea. xD

[MiriaRose]

I had to leave right after white v. black, but I saw enough of it to want to participate next year. ^^

[xxxchihiroxxx]

as another comment to the not a lot of action thing i have this to say...

as some one who also plays chess I learn that you tend to pick a favorite piece... for me its the bishop, I dunno why. I use the bishop for most of my atacking... a lot of chess players have favorite pieces for attack, and often its luck of the draw in how much you get to attack. I noticed in a few of the games that there were a few characters that saw more action than the others simpley because of the piece they played.

[nikkiolie]

Yeah white team's chess master said she didn't use the knight a lot and that was the reason I didn't get a lot of action.

[ThiefKingsHier]

Hooray for Bishops!

I was really worried that I would just die.

In the last chess game I played I was told many times that the bishop is only there to sacrifice in place of more important pieces.

My only regret..is that I didn't die epically enough.

I'm rather fond of rooks myself.

[Mitsukai Mizu Amaya]

I couldn't think of an epic way to kill Garnet. T.T ways to kill others, yes. But ways for self to die, no.

But next year, with Yuna. ^^ *planning* Maybe running off with a Valefor like she did to escape the wedding. Or get a Tidus to drag her away. OR BETTER! If there was a Tidus on the opposing team... >: D *mumbles to self whilst planning*

as some one who also plays chess I learn that you tend to pick a favorite piece... for me its the bishop, I dunno why. I use the bishop for most of my atacking... a lot of chess players have favorite pieces for attack, and often its luck of the draw in how much you get to attack. I noticed in a few of the games that there were a few characters that saw more action than the others simpley because of the piece they played.

Hooray for Bishops!

I was really worried that I would just die.

In the last chess game I played I was told many times that the bishop is only there to sacrifice in place of more important pieces.

My only regret..is that I didn't die epically enough.

I'm rather fond of rooks myself.

hehe i was a nun-bishop
and died fast. but i had a kill!

Man, cosplay chess was so much fun. :3  I didn't think I'd get to play, but I'm so glad I did.  Bummer Black Team had to forfeit, but I'm definitely signing up next year.

The only problem I can see with having games on multiple days is that the pieces will have to miss quite a bit of the con.  The chess game took up most of Monday, and if you had to go to two/three days of games, you'd miss a good chunk of the convention. :/

I don't mind. Chess is easily the most fun I have at any convention.

I really don't go to any panels  and it always makes me sad that it isn't until the last day that it really seems 'like a con'.


Besides, this way we can have multiple characters per person, with more options for epic battles.

Maybe we could even have on or two planned, so that the final battle reaches it's greatest potential.

well I imagine if your not playing then you dont have to be there...

but we could try to fit the pre matchs on like saturday when theres not ussualy a lot going on or something and then save the final for monday or sunday?

The problem with scheduling the matches over the 3 days is time and space.  It takes the hotel time to remove the chairs for the clear area for the board (and it's a typical policy that only hotel staff can do it).  So that's and half-hour to and hour before and after the match.  And given the size of the event, it needs to be held in a bigger room, so options on where to play it is limited... if you look at last year's schedule, Live Events was a pretty busy room. (Outside is not a good option - where is the space?  Security?  And rain?)

Then there are time conflicts - Saturday, people are still in reg lines.  Sunday, Cosplay.  That is one of the reasons for having it on Monday.  Yes it takes a chunk of time, but it's also when we have the most time available for it.  The event deals with a lot of people - 16 people to a team, making sure everyone is there,knows the board.  And getting people in the room... squeezing in as many people as possible to watch took time (hopefully, next year we won't have to turn people away).

do we have all of the hilton this year? or are we sharing it >.> if we have all of it perhaps there is someplace that wont be in use (doubt it but I can hope) that we could possibley dedicate to it?

what about saturday evening after the lines have closed? ._.

[Jamiche]

We have all of the Hilton, and are not sharing it with anyone else.  But go back and look at the schedule, and you can see how busy late afternoons and evenings could be.

I'm not trying to shoot down anyone's ideas.. Cosplay Chess is one of my favorite events, and I'm glad everyone has fun participating.  But we have limited space that we have to share with other events, and that means making compromises.  So yeah, we have Monday... but we also rule Monday, because so far, we don't have any competition

[nikkiolie]

yeah that is another nice thing.....unless you are just watching then you have to get there really really early to be able to see x.x

[xxxchihiroxxx]

well nothing really happens, maybe just make cosplay chess longer or something on monday? I dunno

[oslapedo]

I loved cosplay chess, and I'd miss events for it, I suppose, but I thought it was nice being able to commit my whole day to it on Monday. Pretty much on Monday I woke up, hung out with TMoHS-ers, cosplay chess, home. It was a nice way to end things, I think
