betrayedblade: (♠ :: curiosi)
[personal profile] betrayedblade
Ah, another's post yesterday made me think of something. There is a common supply cache around here, is there not? I have no need to request of anything, but I did have a question for those that run it. Or, a proposition perhaps. I am a banker and businessman by birth inheritance and am highly trained and skilled with the workings of such a profession. I realize this is not exactly the same, but if you need a helping hand with keeping up with the supplies and rationing them out--well, that's where being a banker comes in handy. [He chuckles lightly.] I can keep my numbers quite well. I can help with records and the like.

[As if he doesn't volunteer/do enough crap around here, now he's going off and volunteering for more. Oi. Well, anyway, maybe he just wanted to do something familiar for a change. His new trips out into hunting are nice and all but he has to admit (at least to himself) that he misses his less adventurous duties, too. Besides that, it was something (else) he inherited from his father and he wanted to continue it even if it was in some strange place and not quite the same.

...

Or maybe he just needed another hobby. Anyway...]


I did think of something I can ask all of Discedo, including the supply cache since it's an item: does anyone have a scacchi--eschec...ches?--set? Or, perhaps, good at wood-work? Whittling? And would be willing to trade.

Does anybody know how to play the "King's Game"?

[ Perfect! He was just getting bored. ]

King's game? What's that?

Scacchi.

[He pauses for a thoughtful moment.]

It is...a game played by two people each with 16 pieces on a squared board. The traditional pieces are carved into various social classes--the pawn, the knight, the bishop, the tower, and the King and Queen--and the object is to..."check?"... render the King piece inoperable. Hence the name "eschec."

Am I? [He grins knowingly.]

It's another name for scacchi. A nickname due to the main piece of the game, the one you try to protect and that you try to take down the opponent's version.

That would be the Moa, Queen of Inventoryland. There might be other caches that are being run, but I'm biased, considering we just agreed to become family.

What kind of game is that? The only game I know that has a "king" in it is Shogi.

I know individual factions have their own caches but I am looking for the specific one open to all. As I believe you have answered my question. Grazie.

It is... [why is it so "hard"--read: long--to explain scacchi to a person?] ...a game of strategy. [There. That's short and sweet.]

.

I'll find one, or make one. My friend suggested simple markers and paper for a makeshift set in the meantime. It would work in any case. Would you be interested?
