I'd love to see how some of you self-proclaimed intellectuals do in a game of wits.

God, I haven't played chess in years. Maybe after work.

Ooh, multiple wits!
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
Varrus reminds me of the high council or whatever from the original "Planet of the Apes." Which I'm pretty sure were supposed to be fairly blatant parodies of overzealous right-wing politicians anyway, so there you go.
I only mention it here because this thread reminded me of the scene where they're questioning Charlton Heston to test his intelligence, but they're only asking him questions about Ape law and history.

Yes. :)

I'm the top hat. And if I get Park Place, you BETTER trade me Boardwalk, goddammit. You can have the utilities and railroads.

Mindel,
What can't spare 5 or 10 minutes? I promise you'll probably lose in like 3.

...after you've mortgaged half your property paying me for rent on Boardwalk with a hotel. :)
I'm thinking Trouble would be more his speed.

Nexa, you never said.

Samy,
Actually we just played a game not 10 minutes ago.

***** chess.
Let's play Scrabble. That was my family game. Mom the English Teacher knew lots of roots and expansions of words. Dad the Crossword Puzzler knew all the really tiny words. And my sisters each brought a different way of thinking to the board, and different, rich vocabularies.
And I usually beat 'em all.

It's far too easy to Chinese Room online chess, and knowing a little about Varrus far too likely he'd do it.
'Sides, Go is much more fun.

Posted: Jul 31 2009 at 11:16 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Chess is the game of royalty. Of course you have to think 3 moves ahead for every piece every time. The challenge is doing it in mere minutes.
Allegory,
What?
So what you're really saying is you think i'll cheat because I could never win otherwise?
Don't be scared.

It's like a mini-war of will and wit.
