[JerryArr]

Invalid move, Nobody Special's turn

D: do you know something I don't? ~

[Nobody Special]

No, just logic.

Apostle: Invoke g6-f6

(If I need to specify, it's the Apostle at f8)

An invoke can consist of one or more moves for OTHER pieces. A piece that uses an invoke command does not move itself.

Question: Does the above explicitly rule out the existence of a non-invoke move for a piece that has the ability to invoke?

Invalid move, Mist7676's turn.

(And yes, you do need to specify.)

An invoke can consist of one or more moves for OTHER pieces. A piece that uses an invoke command does not move itself.

Question: Does the above explicitly rule out the existence of a non-invoke move for a piece that has the ability to invoke?

All pieces have a non-invoke move, regardless of if they have an invoke move.

[Nobody Special]

Curiouser and curiouser.

Mist7676 was prodded.

[Mist7676]

I was!

Question: Could I try and move two pieces at a time?

Hoppe B2 takes Hopper B4

[JerryArr]

I was!

Question: Could I try and move two pieces at a time?

Only if it's part of an invoke.

Hoppe B2 takes Hopper B4

There's no piece on B2.

[Mist7676]

That's what I meant, yeah. And sorry, it's been a while

Hopper B1 takes Hopper B4

[JerryArr]

That's what I meant, yeah. And sorry, it's been a while

Hopper B1 takes Hopper B4

No problem.

Except with this invalid move. It's Nobody Special's turn.

I am unable to make the chessboard in the first post go back in moves, to look at things.

When I made my move 12, was the Phalanx there (like it is now), in the path of the move?


Related, and I don't know if you're able to answer this, if the Hopper able to capture pieces? If so, how?

I know, and I apologize for this. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way to allow pieces to move any way I'd like with the forum's code as it is now. I do use the code's comment function, though, but it's nowhere near as convenient.

I'm assuming you mean the Phalanx currently at B3. Yes.

I can say that the Hopper, like all pieces, can capture pieces, but I cannot say how.

[Nobody Special]

Sorry for not specifying: I meant the Phalanx at f5.

[JerryArr]

Sorry for not specifying: I meant the Phalanx at f5.

Yes, the F5 Phalanx was there.

For clarification: Did the Spectators create their moves individually, or did they have communication?

Although most of the moves were created individually, there was a Private Topic where suggestions and tweaks were given.
