    There seems to be some slight conflicts between these kingdoms of Empty Closetsia, so this shall be settled in the traditional battle of my people. Calvinball. The rules of calvinball are simple, expect when they're not, which is when they're at the simplest. As such, explaining the rules is not only unnecessary, but the only forbidden play in Calvinball.

    Let the game begin with the sacred words. Iinos! Svariin! Quixtamme fal rok! Shu-nal krosis!

    I shall start. As I've drawn the hierophant as my major arcana, I gain +4 to wisdom. Combined with the free roam rule of April Thursdays, the queerd knight piece is in the blue box, allowing our quarterback to score three baskets and one goal, at the cost of one tenth of our gouda.

    I think without thinking. I have transcended normality, except when I haven't. Everything exists and yet nothing exists. I have no idea what calvinball is, and I've never read such comics... but I find order in chaos. EC confuses me... sometimes. Allow me to return the favour.

    I would call upon my creator; the god of probability. He may not even grace me with a mere aspect! When he does... I can't even get within several meters of that guy. My head is filled with MATH MATH MATH and it burns! I've tried to learn math beyond my ability... is real-time calculus judging the interactions of particles? I bet I've got this wrong... HOW am I supposed to learn all the things I feel such a pull towards!? If I threw this or that, he'd calculate where it would land. Under a pseudonym, I used male pronouns in my work because people are already confused enough. Powerful dark energy beings don't have genders. I'm an unorthodox demonologist on Fridays. Did you know I'm one of the 1080~ minor representatives... of the 36 major... uh, in other words, still kinda a minion back home, planning to work my way up eventually. I can read the patterns of the universe from the guts of my enemies. Also I was told I create good sandwiches. I am playing, but I am not a player. By ignoring the rules I am obeying them.

    This game is confusing. But since it seems anything passes without the mention of the r- :***: -s, here goes.

    I don't declare this post, the previous post, or the three after it, opposite zones. Everything afterward and before I do. None of the other posts in fun & games are opposite zones either.

    Except girls vs boys, which is.

    I'm good with maps. I studied advanced geography. I'd find my way to the nearest post office. The exchange rate is a tortoise. A blastoise is demanded. I fail an insight check against a bluff from the geo-magister-duelist of treachery. It's likely due to my origin -- I take a -2 penalty to wisdom. I am forcibly removed from the post office. I curse society. That's a realistic encounter. My number of points is tortoise.

    ä does not equal a

    If one doesn't have the correct keyboard... this is better than nothing; ä = ae. If I see another person type 'zweihander'... and they usually have no clue about the history of oversized swords. Usually also the same person that thinks Katana is the BEST sword 100% of the time. Then again, I'm the weird person that actually enjoyed reading On War. Anything to help me succeed at my games. Politics... not so much.

    tl;dr; this usually works, at least in the games I've played
    Archers > pikemen
    Pikemen > cavalry
    Calvary > infantry
    Infantry > archers
    Not giving my formations away.

    I use my transmogrifier to turn into a ferocious dragon and eat all the melon scoops.

    To recap, the score is currently negative frankel-schmidt to 12 dolphins, 4 melon scoops and a quarter bushel of koala mittens.

    Since there are no spies in the half-pipe, that makes this the Insanity Round! Everybody run to panic zoned before space-time consumes itself!

    While you all panic, I steal all the koala mittens and send them back in time, where I have woven them together into the skittles flag, which I now have in my pocket and therefore captured, along with instructions on building a time machine. I then attack the half pipe with my croqet mallet. I roll a 6, which means it's time for the badminton round.
