Dual colors are supposed to be disallowed but I decided to make exceptions for really good words that would absolutely require two specific colors (I think that Chess has a little too much wiggle room for each color[white-beige, black-mahogany] and it specifically more relies on contrast rather than two specific colors; also worth noting is that I also disallow dual colors for patterns even if they are unable to be represented by a single color). One general rule of thumb (for me) is that if I feel any sense of doubt in the colors-to-word connection, it's a no-go. The other rule of thumb is that EKLS/Eclipse is the baseline for entry and if a connection feels weaker than that then it's a no-go as well. Perhaps with the way it's written now, it makes getting dual colors sound like it's easier to get than I intended it to be.

So, is the outlined version that Nathan posted OK?

[Zerco]

To me it sounds like its a no, Vwyx.

[Zerco]

How about Beige and Saddlebrown? CHES
Or
Beige and Dimgray? CHES

I think both of them would be fine.

KAL, PLEASE CLEARLY INDICATE IF THIS IS OKAY

Actually, all in all, we could just go with pure white. White moves first, and I've seen a few (I have one at home) chess sets which are variations of white and entirely transparent.

So, what say you guys? If I get a majority of positive replies, I'll post in the Team List.

EDIT: Well, okay, maybe not white but a colour reminiscent of frosted glass or something. Seeing as white already exists as a team.

If we wanted to go the frosted glass route, maybe #DDDDFF? Just adding a bit of a bluish tint to it? I could mess around some more but honestly team color isn't a huge deal, I'd rather just settle on something so I can officially get us started.

[nathan67003]

Right. I just googled 'frosted glass chesspiece' and used a colour picker on various points of a pawn.

[Zerco]

That's a good idea. I like Floob's proposal for the team's colour.

On a side note, I actually have one of those frosted glass chess sets! >:3

[nathan67003]

Me too!

[Zerco]

Yay! :3

[Vwyx]

Well, heck, it works for me!

I think I used to have one of those frosted glass sets, but I have no idea where it could be.

[nathan67003]

A'ight then, posting in Team List with Floob's colour.

[Flooberoid]

Hey guys, I got the initiation thread started!
Don't really care what order you guys decide to post. I suppose we could go with Helena next, just because she's second in the name?

[nathan67003]

Yessir!
