Who wants to play chess?!

Women, Gentlemant and Geeks alike will flock to see this! Just like every school we are planning to start our own chess club......with a difference :D

A game Virtue and myself invented last year is coming back, with avengance. Within the next week or so we will be training a few individuals at a time to play Jedi Chess.

Jedi Chess is a very simple concept. We give two (ir)responsible students access to the teleportation commands. Two Jedi(initially virtue and myself) will be placed upon a matrix mat. Neither player will have the ability to use the "origin" commands but must use their designated Jedi to frag the opponents player by teleporting them into each other.

Towards the end of the holidays a tournement will be held and the Victor will recieve a small prize :)

Who will be this years Jedi Chess Champion? I can hardly wait to see :)

I didn't feel like scrolling ALL the way down, but I think the best way to do this would be have a small map that looks like a chessboard. The two players would have 1 "controller" that would use one of those NPC following mods that are on JK3 Files to move the NPCs. I could make a cool set of NPCs just for it, Rebels and Imperial models and then if someone will make the skins, Black and White chess peice models. Each Box would have a wall so the NPCs couldn't see eachother, but on the top, where the players are, you can see down every hole. The player would open up a "Door" to the next peice for the NPC they are using, say you want to move a Knight, then the Controller moves the knight to the possition the knight is needed to be at by going to the top and dropping the NPC in the cube selected (the top would be only for knights, as they can jump over all peices).

If you are moving to kill an oponent, the floor beneath the NPC to be killed opens into an NPC kill pit, destroying the NPC so the npc attacking can be moved into the new block by the Controller of your side. Teleporting wouldn't be needed for this, cuz the controllers could be anyone that already has admin, or just someone using the mod :P.

map wouldn't be good because people would memorize what the squares are and just tele to them

If somebody used the origin command, they would probably be amazingly precise. I'm sure it can be disabled on the server, and it is also publicly announced when it is used.

I think it'd be best this time if instead of just using you and me as the pawns, Jai, we give each player a bunch of pawns each - would make it very interesting. :D
