Hey Zapptastic. I challenge you to a game of chess. My first move is the typical pawn d4. Feel free to add a comments table to this page like you did with your game against User:(aeropagitica). Picaroon9288|ta co 06:00, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey, how are you? Glad you're here. Also, I won't consider it a forfeit if you don't move for a while - my game with TBC had like a three-month break inbetween moves inadvertantly. So yeah, don't worry about that. Anyways, how are you? -Zapptastic (talk) 06:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Fine, thanks. You're from Minnesota? I read that in your game with Yanksox. I passed through the Minneapolis airport recently, and have relatives from the state. I'm from Massachusetts, just like him. And, seeing as its 2:19 AM here, this'll be my last move before logging off for the night. I'll make the move of knight F3, and see you (your move, that is) tomorrow. Picaroon9288|ta co 06:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC) Sorry about that mistaken edit summary. That was my move before I changed it. Picaroon9288|ta co 06:20, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Knight takes bishop on g4. We have our first capture. Picaroon9288|ta co 19:26, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
And now we have our second. OOOOOH SNAP! -Zapptastic (talk) 23:17, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, I've been snapped. Or is it Zapped? (Sorry about the pun; I just read this and couldn't help myself.) Picaroon9288|ta co 00:19, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
You can't move the night to a5 - it leaves your king checked by my bishop. I've undone it. Picaroon9288|ta co 04:07, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Furthermore, I made it accidentally white. Woops on my part, too. Picaroon9288|ta co 04:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Sorry about that. -Zapptastic (talk) 06:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
No problem. I do the same on occasion. And here's our third capture. Picaroon9288|ta co 07:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, my queen's in an annoying place, isn't it? :) Picaroon9288|ta co 18:29, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Not any more... -Zapptastic (talk) 20:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I guess so. And now I can hide my King in the corner. Anyways, back to the more social/Ezperanzaish aspect of the game - what language do you/did you take in school? Picaroon9288|ta co 22:30, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
7th-10th grades I took Latin. I'm now going into 11th grade - I'll be taking French until I graduate. You? -Zapptastic (talk) 22:38, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I took Latin also, but I paid far more attention to the historical and geographical parts of the textbook than learning the language. Eheu! Picaroon9288|ta co 23:00, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Yea, I just really paid attention to all the girls sitting in front of me. Oh, wait, dang it, I forgot, my school segregates classes, so I didn't have any with girls! Dang it... -Zapptastic (talk) 12:43, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I couldn't imagine having classes in a school like that. Do you consider yourself an inclusionist or a deletionist? I'm certainly the latter. Picaroon9288|ta co 21:18, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Inclusionist. I think as far as companies and vanity pages go, they should be acceptable as long as they're written to the same quality standard as other articles. However, I don't put that into action, I'll support whatever current Wikipedia policy is, but if there was a huge debate on it, I would be in favor of widespread inclusion. However, vanity pages written like crap should be deleted. -Zapptastic (talk) 21:32, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
- I mean, hell, I've seen people's houses have their own articles before. Seriously... -Zapptastic (talk) 21:51, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, that's certainly a not-so-widespread idea. And of the game: you got my pawn, I got your rook. Picaroon9288|ta co 04:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Totally didn't notice that one... -Zapptastic (talk) 04:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't think you noticed this one either. Picaroon9288|ta co 00:19, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
You can't move your pawn; my rook is checking your king, and the pawn move neither blocks the check nor takes the rook. Sorry. Picaroon9288|ta co 04:16, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
As I've said before, totally didn't notice that... -Zapptastic (talk) 04:31, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Completely okay. What do you think of my new signature? Do any of the letters appear as those little rectangles, or are they all vaguely intelligible? þïċãŕŏŏň9288 (ťàľķ) 04:52, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I can see them all - then again, that's probably just because I am using vastly superior Mac OS X. It's cool with me, but I'm guessing some people might bitch at you for having the whole weird-accented character thing going on. Good luck I guess, later, Zapptastic (talk) 11:53, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, you're completely right. I've switched back to something more subdued. Picaroon9288•talk 15:05, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
So, Zappa, what books do you like? I've enjoyed Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons series, George Orwell's Animal Farm, Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, Patrick F. McManus' outdoors humor stories, and various National Geographic-published books and atlases the most. Picaroon9288•talk 21:41, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Orwell's excellent. I'm also reading some religious stuff my friends are handing out to me. Other than that, it's mainly just what's going on in school, namely The Iliad. -Zapptastic (talk) 04:44, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Check, again! Picaroon9288•talk 05:04, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Last move before going away for two days. Be back early Mondayish (UTC). Picaroon9288•talk 15:59, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
I forefeit. You're just going to end up picking off all of my pawns anyways, and I'm not going to be able to do anything about it. Good game, Zapptastic (talk) 03:36, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Good game to you too, Zappa. I wish you luck against (aeropagitica), TBC, Roxysmashsir43, and Slgrandson. Happy editing! Picaroon9288•talk 03:41, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
