Unfortunately, yes... by about 9 or 10 months.

We could hold another one this year, though. What does everyone think?

I could participate. I used to be quite good at Chess, though I haven't played in years.

Always up for a first time again, though! :lol: (Oh god, that's SO in that evilevil thread in Mallory. I just know it.)

I'll do it.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Sure, (with my prior proviso that it's not necessary to do it in real time. If it is, no worries, will try out another time. ;) )

i'm game.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.

"pop a cap"? Is that some kind of special move? The only one I was aware of is en passant. Could you explain it to me?

Count me out; I found it too hard to play the matches, much less win them.
