Weird Pics, funny posts or something new?

Welcome to our Forum, Matsue!

There was a recent discussion about playing chess with Grim for someone's life.  Many didn't know it was possible.  Thanks for the picture of it!

I found this funny.

I have been using this treasure room to store crystal skulls and large ingots (I want one of each kind). Looks like 2 of my gnomes thought that they deserve to be shown off as treasure too:

@pallyndrome could you take a picture in the day time or turn some lights on I can't really make out the Gnomes?

Cool skulls by the way!  I like the Tiberium, will it transform or stay the same?

[pallyndrome]

Sorry, I'll try again with some lights on and zoomed in.
And I really hope my tiberium skull doesn't transform! Maybe I'll move it next to other tiberiums to be sure?

[samoht04]

Thanks, thats much better!

Ha, ha, I'm more impressed by your completely extravagant collection of gem skullls than the funny gnomes beside them.
He, cool picture pallyndrome.

@ pallyndrome, you don't have to worry about that Tiberium skull transforming.  It will stay in skull form without putting it beside anything.

That may be a reference to another media. I read a book when I was younger about a kid playing chess with the devil to save his half brother and uncle, after said devil had already killed the rest of his family. I have also heard it referenced in other stuff, like lolcats pictures and on other forums. I'll look around and see what I can find.

-Edit- I found info easily. Here's a few links.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090125203448AAb2Dd3 This is a simple story about the devil and a man playing in a painting, apparently told in Christian ministries for a long time. However...
http://www.chessville.com/reviews/SchachaufOlgemalden.htm In this link, the picture second down, to the right, you'll see death losing to someone at chess. This is probably what the reference is about...Though I wonder if you could play with Grimmy on a different platform for a soul...

Okay, I'll get back on topic. Sorry.

Thanks wildredchild, I'll put it back with the rest of my skulls I have only 2 more skulls to collect - soulpeace and flourite and 3 large ingots - plutonium, woohooium and mummitomium (the last of which might take me a million years)

TollingBells: The greatest popularisation of that story is through the movie, The Seventh Seal. EA has previously said that it is a reference to that.

I think that's the full collection - apart from the new one that came with Ambitions.

Slingsby -  wow - are those septarian and geode skulls? How did you make those? I thought they were impossible. Can you list all of them? I'd like to make sure I have each one. And if this is getting to much off topic - maybe you could private message me? I'd be very grateful.

Yup ... Septarian, Geode and all the other 'glassy' ones.  The Tiberium skull is in a 'safe room' where we grow Tiberium, and is now used also for storing [hahahaha] the Gnomes.



I'll try to remember to do that list.  Busy weekend ahead, it won't be until mid-week.

Amazing Skulls everyone!!!  Wow!  What's the recipe for skulls again?  A gemstone in every cut on the display cabinet?
