"Go, mostly," said Alex, opening the door. There were a couple of people in there, but judging by that their faces weren't detailed, they were NPCs. Only two important people in here. "You two go-players, too?"

Ashila is very confused on the conversation. "What is GO?" He looked at the three.

:Gwyd looked at the two that had just entered the room:
"Huh? Me? Uh, well, I only came here for a teaching game."
'Perhaps I am at the wrong place,' he thought after hearing the white-haired boy's question.

"You mean you don't know? Aw, man, you gotta. Go's making a huge comeback, it's crazy. All right, go, or Igo, is an ancient Chinese game of strategy. Put down stones to surround territory. Capture stones by taking all their liberties. Simple to learn, but tough as hell to master. Want me to teach you.... uh... what was your name again?"

".... Ashila.." After lessoning to Alex's rundown on the game, Ashila know that this game is nothing like what he used to play.. "..is it now.." Ashila is ready to skip.
((ooc.. well someone have to grab him and make him joint now.. xd ))

::notices Ashila's apparent sense of disinterest::
"Well, if someone plays a teaching game with me, you should see what it's like, Ashila. Oh, and I'm Alex Gwydion, but most people call me Gwydo or just Gwyd. I'm still new to the game."
((ya ain't gettin' away THAT easy! xd ))

((ooc.. XD it would seem so.. ))
"Alex?.. another Alex?" Ashila looked between the two Alexs, "Well, .. Nice to meet you Gwyd." Still a little unsure if even he will like to learn this..GO game. Eyeing the board and the strange round pebbles, Ashila can't begin to guess how this game is going to start.

Alex laughed. "Alex versus Alex, teaching game, IKIMASU!!" He sat down opposite Gwydion. Looking up at Ashila, he said, "This is how the game is played." He waved a hand at Gwyd. "You can be black."

"Uh, onegashimasu."

All this formalness is giving Ashila a headache. But something about the way they talked about the black stones made Ashila wander. "Is there something special about the black stones?" He asked, very confused.

"Onegaishimasu," said Alex. "That's the formal way to begin a game," he explained. "Also, black goes first. Normally, an odd-or-even guessing game is played to decide who gets them, but we're forgoing that, since it's a teaching game." He glanced back down at the board, then looked back up. "Oh yeah, and white gets five and a half extra points at the end, called komi, to make up for the advantage black gets by going first." He tapped himself on the head twice. "All that and the game hasn't even started yet."

"nhmm." Ashila nodded, "Does being the first to play give you that much advantage in this game?"
((ooc.. umm let me know if you don't understand the question, ^^;; cause I am not sure how to ask it.. ^^;; ))

Alex shrugged. "I dunno, I never thought so, but I guess it does. I mean, you don't pick a number like five and a half without a reason, you know?"

"Right. I mean, I'm not good enough with counting territory and all that, so I have no clue, but it's 'standard'. I heard in some places it even went up to like 6.5 or something like that, so it's gotta mean something."
::Gwyd places a stone::
((I sure hope I don't have to go into detail as to which one... just pick one sweatdrop ))

((ooc.. ok.. I am going to just play a guild leader.. and speed up the game.. I am sure if you want a real match,, the iGO server would do you guys some good.. but in an RP.. a match with 50 moves would take forever.. gonk .. don't hate me.. but.. it is your guys call as to who win or loses, this is an RP after all.. ))
Ashila watches as the black and white pebbles being placed on the lined board. Before long, the board is covered with pebbles, and both Alex's are focused on the board as if there are treasures hidden inside. "You guys will run out of place to put the pebbles." Ashila commented.
