Title: Greetings, Baggins here.
Post by akbaggins on Jul 2^nd, 2010, 10:28am

I just started playing Arimaa today and have only played the lowest bot on the ladder but enjoyed it thoroughly. What's alluring to me is the four-step turn, that allows me to play both offense and defense, or work on different parts of the board in one turn. It's an excellent game and the site is very user friendly. Cheers!

Welcome! It's good to see Arimaa catching on in Thailand. I confess I now have the song running through my head: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmaJ4G6qhM8

The song seems well researched, right down to the Yul reference!

I've lived in Thailand for 7 years now, and my Mrs. is Thai, but I'm originally from P.R. and I'll be moving "back" to the States in a couple of months. I guess I'll have to change the location entry then.

Thanks for the welcome :D

Speaking of well-researched, I only find one "A" name in the whole Baggins family, namely Angelica Brownlock, and no "AK". But maybe the names have changed since the 1200's :P

Actually, Baggins is my dog's name (I like the scene in in the film where the wraiths go around asking: Shire....Baggins...).

A.K. is my blogger name, so to speak, from here:

What is a Fritzlein? I had quite a few pastries in Germany when I was there but I don't ever remember seeing any Fritzlein. ;D
