Well, whether you did or not, you still didn't catch my
super-almost-secret reference to the old title in the first paragraph, and
it's still in there!  Authors have strange powers too!  MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!

Yes, Peter, those need to be removed, since they have no context now.

And I pronounce it 'zerfolize', since I also pronounce 'zrf' as
'zerf', but that's just me.

Well, I don't talk like this around people I don't know, of course!  :P

Hey!  This is the fifteenth comment to this page, and not one of these
fifteen has anything to do with the actual GAME.  Hmmm....

It is obvious to me that no one on these pages has ever played Triple Triad
before...

No, Peter, flipping is non-recursive, and if you don't clarify the rules
page right away then I'll start calling you 'Mithter Petey'!  (j/k)  If
it was recursive, the game would degenerate into a race to see who could
place the last link in a long chain, like John Lawson brought up.  It
would ultimately become cumbersome and boring.

To Tony Quintanilla:  First, it doesn't have to be a Fodder piece, but
since it never attacks anything and is often taken on the opponent's
first move, I decided to call it that.  And I don't want to make the main
board any bigger!  I was going for something simple and elegant, much like
the original (and brilliant) Triple Triad.  So I used the extra spaces as
'holding tanks', because I can!  (And what do you mean, 'Little 'Z'
Man'?)

This isn't a Chess/Go blend or a Chess/Othello blend!  It's a Chess/TT
blend!  So there!  I encourage EVERYONE here (and that means YOU TOO) to
play Triple Triad Gold at ttg.qhimm.com and broaden their horizons!  If
you like this you'll love that!  And while you're at it, go play an
RPG!

P.S.  If this sounds irate, forgive me.  I'm tired.

To Tony:  RPGs (meaning video-game RPG's, not tabletop D&D stuff) are just
plain cool, especially when you haven't hit twenty yet.  (Incidentally, I
haven't.)  And, just to note, Qhimm, who wrote Triple Triad Gold, is not
in any way affiliated with Squaresoft.

To Glenn:  Sorry!  I didn't expect that anyone here would have played it!
 Are you under twenty, too?

To Mithter Petey (tee hee hee!):  Could you also note in the Setup section
that a d20 is a twenty-sided die?  Just so people who aren't familiar
with that notation will know?

Golden Sun (which is another RPG) is awesome)

Will the real Peter please stand up?  Now will the real Peter please add
the Chestria variant that gives the second player a copy of the first
player's army to the page?  (Also, will you ask your daughter why you
couldn't make a GS-themed variant?  Why couldn't you have one player
trying to light the Elemental Lighthouses, and the other player try to
stop them?)

To Glenn:  Did your nephews have any actual Triple Triad cards, which have
been out of print since 1999 and are very rare, or did they show it to you
on Final Fantasy 8?

To Tony, if you're still around:  Have you tried TTG yet?

Danadazo is too a chess variant!  I should know, too, because it's mine! 
Look under the 'boards with an unusual shape' section.

What would doublewide hexagonal chess (a la Glinski or McCooey) look like?
 Or doublewide multiplayer variants?

(Am I asking too many questions?  Relative to you, I'm a CV 'n00b'.)

Do entrants have to vote in this round?  Are entrants banned from voting in
this round?  If an entrant may vote, may they vote for themselves?  The
rules do not make this clear.
