[QUOTE="Heckler, post: 3487789, member: 39376"] [sblock=Velmont]"Hmmm...a game of chess in progress." "In endgame," Octavio corrects himself. "The white king has no where to go, but he is not threatened. His pawns cannot help him. Black will mate him in one move. This game is over." "Except that this fellow in the last rank should have been upgraded to a queen, yet he hasn't. And black's king is missing, so technically black has already lost. There is more to this than a simple game of chess." "'A good king listens to his subjects.' White has the only king, and the pawns would be his subjects. That's why you haven't been upgraded, boyo, you and your fellows have something to tell me." "Now, these letters for the columns, maybe you're spelling out something for me? Let's see, G-A-B-D-A-B. Gabdab? That's rubbish. Maybe the other way. Yes, that lines up with the numbers nicely. B-A-D-B-A-G. Badbag? Ah, 'Bad Bag.' That's it, then." "Now, then, which one of you two has been naughty, hey?" Octavio addresses the bags. "Well, if one has studied ones melodrama - and I have - one would know that good and evil are color coordinated for ease in identification. The hero wears white, the villian - black. Ergo I choose you," Octavio says as he picks up the black bag. Octavio takes the bag to the rightmost door. He'll remove the key from the bag and attempt to unlock it. [sblock=ooc]I even saw [I]Merchant[/I] on Broadway with Dustin Hoffman as Shylock. I'll be kicking myself for missing that one for a while. :( [/sblock][/sblock] [/QUOTE]
