Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

Must be lucky to not deal with those things huh? I heard they were kinda annoying. I don't think The Professor has to deal with them though I never asked him about it.
I never asked my dad who's just like your Professor but since Kiraritchi and I are college students who earn a lot, we gotta deal with them and it can be patience testing.
It depends which place you go to as it can be either fast or slow and how much you make throughout the year. I wonder if Swain's world has to deal with taxes too or not?

It's the same as always! I just wonder if I should fold those blood lumps into squares or triangles this time?

You don't have to apologize, it's sweet that you were being helpful which is more important than appearing here which has been on the quiet side though I don't really mind it especially after eating that delicious peanut butter pancake I had!
Like me either girl, I kinda lost the addiction to keep things moving so often on the thread though it's always a joy to post when we can! Back on that subject of taxes, yeah they can be pretty tiring imo but it's a relief when they're done!

If I’m on campaign, do you think I have time to vacation? But yes, I might look into this “Bulgaria” you represent.
Toons of Hexen: 16 Tama Portals beyond Heretic
Well Kiraritchi, here's your chance to ask him if you want since he didn't notice your question earlier.
Well I ain't trying to dragging it out but Swain, do your world has to deal with taxes like many others?
I guess I'm the one who's currently lucky to avoid them though that's only cause I'm still young, hehehe!

Yes, Noxus has taxes. Why wouldn’t it? The military must be supported somehow.
Love ruins all.
Toons of Hexen: 16 Tama Portals beyond Heretic
Oh that's right, I honestly forgot about that regarding the military. Sorry, I just had it on my mind when others earlier said they didn't have to.
To be fair, we don't get a lot of war zones in our world and we currently haven't dealt with anything that's truly beyond our league yet.
Especially when you two and myself have the power to deal with such cases! When bad guys start thrashing, then we come in crashing!
The Ruined King
You know, the people cry out for a hero, when a villain is what they truly need.
Love ruins all.
Toons of Hexen: 16 Tama Portals beyond Heretic
Why would they actually need to have a villain though? They're the are the ones that often puts them through so much troubles!
Presumably this is the relationship of balance between good and evil I'm guessing, heroes often don't appear without trouble striking.
Momotchi's point is understandable. Even when there's an antagonist or not, a balance between good and bad happenings exists. aroo.

The only way to approach the world is with cold logic. A Noxian knows who he is and what he must do for the future of his country.

Good morning! To Romania, I kinda want to apologize for coming off a little silly by that question yesterday. Like Coffretchi said, the line "going into chess" got me curious but it should've been obvious it was the game that's fun once you get the hang of it.
I'm sure it's was fine to be a little confused, I actually haven't heard of the other definitions of chess before (thank you Pianitchi). Have you made any progress with that game Romania? I know it takes some time to use to for some people.
Extreme math nerd
Good luck with learning chess, Romania! I, er… know some trivial chess strategy, so if you have time to spare someday, maybe you could wreck me.

…oh, I see. My condolences.
But seriously, one day you‘ll definitely get there if you keep practicing!
(For those who don‘t know, Martin is pretty much the easiest difficulty bot on Chess.com)

[1] Vous êtes les bienvenus Lovelitchi, all this talk about chess is making me want to visit the Wonder Garden this weekend. Tu sais sûrement ce que je veux dire, chérie
Heh, probably cause some versions of Alice's tale has checkers involved. It makes a great place to hang out on Easter especially since we can buy some Rabbit Ears there.
The Ruined King
Are we talking about games of strategy? I myself am quite partial to X’ah.
Love ruins all.
what's that, what's the board look like, how do you play
The Ruined King
It’s quite similar to this chess you talk about. It’s a Vastayan game, and you keep the pieces you captured after the game. My pieces are quite sentimental to me, but I’m willing to sacrifice them to ensure a victory.

Love ruins all.
As long as everything goes well, it'll be fine!
Shogi is a chess-like game that allows you to actually use the pieces you captured from your opponent against them! Dropping the pieces on the right place at a crucial turn that will further restrains the opponent's chance of victory. Sounds quite interesting and challenging! (And let's not forget about the different type of piece movements, the fact most pieces' promotion is similar to a high-ranked piece, and the larger board and number of pieces)
i don’t have to pay taxes either
good thing i’m not in fortuna, or i’d def have to pay them
you will seeeeee, that all the people are wonderful~
