Re: Homelands (Guan Yu)
With Betty too being ready for the game, Tomoe could make her first move as per the starting color given to her. The miko was not the most experienced player, but she had played about a dozen games back in the shrine with a few of her sisters, so she was not exactly green either. The aggression she usually showed in combat was not transferred over to this game of strategy, where she was more defensive and restrained in her offensive maneuvers. Generally, she was more willing to sacrifice her pawns than the special pieces, but would make those kinds of sacrifices too if there was some clear superior benefit to be gained from the loss of a more able piece. Considering the skill she was facing, the priestess would be careful to scout out any potential traps before making any hasty sacrifices though. Having settled on a basic line of strategy, she started by moving a pawn on the leftmost edge forward the required two squares.
(Yerrrrrp. We might have been able to play it out on some net chess thingy if we were any closer on them timezones. But this is perfectly fine too, since Tomoe has better chances of winning than I do '.')
