[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 176260, member: 552"] William, You are right... but I only think you are partially right... Kalanyr, for one, would accept being killed. I get that from him. I know he has no expectations beyond trying. I know that I, for two, will end this game begging for another one. I know that you, William, for three, could handle a loss and would support Edena. I know Mr. Draco is a chess player, and I know a lot of chess players. They enjoy the game whether they win or lose, at least the ones that admit they can lose do. I think Mr. Draco could take it.
