I browsing a Chess guild I'm in, and was wondering to myself, if we had a Discordian themed chess team in Towns, what would the costumes be?
I think Emperor Norton I would best represent the King, and Goddess Eris as the Queen, of course. But what would the other pieces be represented by?

Interesting idea, Mylian.
Mal-2 and Lord Omar should be the bishops, Mal-1 and Zarathud should be the knights, and Hung Mung and Dr. Van Van Mojo should be the rooks. Sri Syadasti doesn't get a piece, because his name is hard to spell. That's what you get, Sri, for having a sesquipedalian moniker, you jackarse.
The pawns will be cabbages.

As a quick note, I think that the Brother, Spirituality, should be the king instead of His Highness. How he would be represented in costume, I don't know . . . but whatever getup he was decked out in would surely be sweet.

I disagree with you on the knights. At least one of the knights should be Saint Quixote. But Mal-2 and Lord Omar as Bishops I certainly agree with.

Saint Quixote is certainly a good choice, despite the fact that I cannot stand Cervantes' writing. Perhaps he could be represented as a giant windmill, if such an outfit is possible to create on Gaia.

As I read through here, being a member of the GCO, I think to myself. About what, I do not know.
To the point. Join us. We will show you the way to [any random generic place of glory]. Also we have ourselves some fairly snazzy chess games. ;D
<.<
PM me if my post is deleted, I am curious as to its fate.

And Longvalley, the windmills could be rooks, if a windmill outfit is even possible.

I liked Norton I as the king, myself. I think for Discordian chess, the Apple would need to be a piece in itself. Players get one, and can move it in any direction, curved as needed so long as it moves exactly five squares. It can't capture queens or pawns, and all other pieces instead of being caputured get turned into other pieces.
And, silly rabbit, posts don't get deleted here! Though they do, however, get inverted on occasion.

Might not it make sense to have two different sides?
For example, Eris' side should have Kallisti apples, not cabbages.
They Greyface side with Aneris as queen can have cabbages as pawns, and perhaps Spirituality as King.
And they can have Tom Cruise as a bishop if they like.

When, dear Imber, were we meant to "make sense"? The cabbages would be far better for the side of Our Lady, because who else is the subject of the dominion of that salty b#%&h if not the cabbages? Although, Void's will be done, we could just make a crap-hole of the whole lot and mix cabbages, apples, Emperors and madmen together and call the Erisian army the Hodge and the Podge. I like the Tom Cruise idea, too. As a side note, has anyone read any good parables dealing with the Brother other than that rather dry and tasteless nugget that the Principia and the Book of Eris has to offer? I haven't been able to come across any, so I'm thinking of just making them up myself. Gonna have to include a nice Wodehouse-ian bit with a water pad in there, too. ~Happiness

Mylian SIN! BUDDY! This is the Discordian Society. Posts don't get deleted here. pirate And Longvalley, the windmills could be rooks, if a windmill outfit is even possible. Buddy? Funny. Your discordian guild seems fairly... dead. Or maybe it's just a decaying parasite, ready to be eaten by another beast so it may take over its soul and gain new life. I'm learning Latin, BTW. SwordsmanChris is a wonderful teacher. Though, the fact that I'm an above-average student who is wanting and willing; passionate; about learning Latin, may be a part of my "amazingly fast" progress. I was wondering, do /you/ know Latin, and would you be willing to teach it in your spare time? Also, I recently decided, for no reason at all besides the lulz, that I claim myself to be a Discordian. This is even in my near-complete ignorance of Discordian expectations, history, culture, lifestyle, and beliefs. Aside from an obsession with Eris, Chaos, and the rule about "No Discordian can tell any other Discordian how to be Discordian." Conclusion: You can't oppose me being a Discordian, because you don't hold a damn right is saying I can't. Then again, I don't have a damn right in telling you that you cannot tell me I can't. And really nobody has a damn right in saying anything at all, by this rule, and nobody has a damn right in saying you shouldn't say anything. This rule alone, I feel to be the essence of Discordianism. Cockshit, ~Culmination of all things Purely Evil.

Lemme put it to yeh this way:
One can never actually become a Discordian, for one simple reason.
If you find that you want to call yourself a Discordian, then it's too late. You're already there. So welcome to the fold. mrgreen
Now comes the fun part. Trying to figure out which side of the asylum wall you're on. pirate

But to think over next to that conical thing, hitting it with an over-sized spoon with an integrated cheese grater on the handle. So I'd be outside the asylum, and next to a plastic Christmas Tree, bashing at it with my large shovel that I tied a cheese grater to.
