Gives us a real chess board thats visual pleasing please. :D
pieces would be made of any Wood, Ore, clay or metal.
The table would have no script other then items on the table can be moved around by people with visitor buff.
the table itself does not need to show the pieces moving, other then that there is something on it.

Checkers would need abit scripted pieces namly just to king the pieces.
This kinda looks ugly

the board should look like a table with chess board on it.
clicking on the table should show this.

The side are for defeated chess pieces.

Some features i would like to see:
  • Only players sitting at the ends of the table (similar as eating) can move pieces
  • Ability to open the board from greater distance, but not possible to move then (spectator mode)
  • Enforce turns and valid moves (=no cheating possible), only player how's turn is up can move
  • 'You Win/Lose' or Tie animation for the players on game end
  • Button to reset the game (auto-setup the pieces), has to be pressed by both players to activate, changes color sides
  • Pieces can't be removed from table while game is not in start configuration
  • Pieces are crafted from clay, used clay decides color

Only if we can craft out own chess pieces out of stone, and each stone type has it's own appearance.

Requirements should be:
96 pieces of stone. (Primary for first color squares, Secondary for second color squares, Tertiary for first color pieces, Quadrary (fourth?) for second color pieces)
Two Boards (Determines Framing Color)

Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

I love that...

But I don't think rules should be enforced.

Not enforcing rules would allow for:

1- Other board games (like checkers) to be played
2- Haven fun: person 1 cheats, person 2 complains, person 1 call his momma a tamed boar, person 2 sticks a metal axe on person 1's skull.

W9 The Revenant of Wulf's Retreat
W8 Lawspeaker of New Thotoshire
W7 Lawspeaker of Esteldín

I like the current "no rules" play- like I rather jorb make up image items and all that. and all they have to do is add it to the game without extra coding.
that way it can be next weeks update :D

it just at the current an eye sore~ to use rocks and odd items~ but atm we do have chess...
it would be nice to have check sets made of gold and silver or rocks~ even glass.

Oh, I know :)

Me too, I was just disagreeing with Granger's suggestion of having rules enforced :)

I think a chess board would be nice to have in game. Checkers would be another nice addition. :)
